No nostalgia here either, i recently installed ScummVM on a nokia 770 tablet, and replayed all the monkey Islands, they were absolutely fantastic. There are a lot of good handheld games these days too, but nothing comes close to the level of comedy or cinematics as did Monkey Island.

So good!
My favourite example of this is the Dutch turning carrots orange in a show of nationalism.
I have the Nokia 770, and it's a great ebook reader. I must have read a hundred books on it by now. The only problem is reading in bright sunlight, that's not so fun.
But great battery life, and it plays SCUMMVM so right now I have Full Throttle on it, as well as a few maps, mp3s and maemo mapper for the occasional drive.
I haven't touched last.fm since I got spotify. I've heard it's not available world-wide, but seeingas it's free and legal, surely this is the future of public music?
It has an iTunes-ish inerface, but has access to millions of artists, and the normal selection of radio-stations. As Well as the great features of being able to make and share play-lists with friends or create an open playlist for a party.
Do many people here use it? IS it a known service? And does anyone want an invite?
They aren't non-standard either. 3.5mm contact with 4 contacts on it and buttons on the lead have been around for ages, I have no idea who started them or how interoperable they are. I had a pair that came with my Nokia N95, play, stop, forward, reverse, volume, on a standard sized 3.5 mm plug with one extra contact. That actually terminated in the remote which had a socket for any normal 3.5 mm three contact headphones, so you could use your nice sennheisers with the phone instead of the shitty nokia buds.
So has anyone tried the Apple ones with other equipment like phones that support remotes on 3.5mm jacks? I know for a fact Etymotics have a pair of headphones with remote and mic on a 3.5 mm contact.
No, the biggest thing that Barack Obama will change in his first 100 days is our attitude, and the world's, toward our own president, and toward the American people's ability to choose a leader.
No offence, but if I see a guy shit in his hand and then eat the shit, and then shit in his hand again and eat it again, It would take more than seeing him eat a sandwich to make me forget that he likes to eat shit.
Clarification for me please?
I haven't gotten any of the new generation consoles (except a wii). I was thinking of a PS3 over a 360 because friends with 360s said they were a headache to own. Lots of failures, very noisy and occasionally even scratching disks.
Why would a PS3 be less useful than a 360 if all the games are the same and the hardware is better?
"Create debt. Maintain debt. Keep people in debt. Work them until they die of debt.
Courtesy of the "This day in history" service part of the NYTimes daily e-mail delivery.
In 1941, President Roosevelt chose to saddle the American population with an increased debt that, as a nation, they had not truly acquiesced to. The 14th Amendment (specifically section 4), conveniently for those brokering power and money to the rest of us, stops citizens, or even states, from contesting the validity of that debt.
Some politicians (in particular, then Senator Wheeler of Montana) attempted to point out the ulterior motivation behind the Lend-Lease bill:
And it continues today. Inescapable debt is slavery."The American taxpayer must make up his mind now that we have given the President power to carry on undeclared wars all over the world. He is probably going to have his taxes doubled and the national debt will be $100,000,000,000 instead of $65,000,000,000 if the war lasts for any length of time.
"This is what the Morgans and the other international bankers asked for and I hope they like it.
"As far as I am concerned I will make no effort to tie the hands of the President regarding the appropriations. It is up to the conservative majority in the Senate to the money. They supported the bill."
If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some.
