Using Voip with VOIP, will we still need landlines?
atomicnacho replied to nobilius's topic in Science and Technology
I think that in the future more people will do what I do, and rely on their cell phone and their primary phone. After a recent move I really didn't see the point of paying for both a land line and cell plan, so I just have a cell phone. From what I've seen I think that more and more people are doing the same. -
What Is Movable Type? Movable Type 3.2
atomicnacho replied to atomicnacho's topic in General Discussion
I have to agree that Movable Type was a royal pain to install. I think that they do this on purpose to get you to pay and use their systems that sixapart will install for you. But now that I have it runing I'm really enjoying it. Haven't tried any other software packages, but I think that I'm sticking with Movable Type. -
Firefox Or Internet Explorer that is the question...
atomicnacho replied to Judman's topic in The Internet
Firefox is great, and at this point it is more secure than IE. But, I have a feeling that as more and more people start using it the this will change and exploits will become as common and with Internet Explorer. -
Movable type a very powerful blogging engine. With Movable Type you can have complete, and realatively painless, control over a blog type website. Movable type uses stylesheets so it is very easy to change the look of the site with changes to the stylesheet. There are also many websites that offer premade style sheets that you can just apply to your Movable type blog. Probably the most powerful aspect of Movable Type are the available plugins. There are litteraly hundreds of plugins available for movable type that provide extra functionality. Some examples are Media Manager, which allows you to display a queue of books/cd/etc.. on your blog that are linked to Amazon.com. Amazon provides information about each entry. This also allows you to set up an affiliate account with amazon and collect commission on purchases made through your site. Another great plugin is MTNetflixAdvanced which allows you to display your netflix queue on your blog. The best part of all of this is that for personal users it is FREE.

I have a Kodak DX6490, which is a little more expensive that I think you are looking for. The 6490 is a 4 megapixel camera that has 10x optical zoom. Which really is the only zoom you need to concern yourself with when looking at digital cameras. When taking a digital photo you never want to use any digital zoom because you will just be limiting youself in the long run. You are much better off taking a wider angle photo and zooming via software later.But if you can afford it the dx6490 is a great camera great color and you can zoom like crazy with out losing quality of the image.

Yahoo Mail Beta New Look for Yahoo Mail
atomicnacho replied to cse-icons's topic in Science and Technology
Anyone know if yahoo is going to offer pop access with this new mail system. That is the best thing about gmail. I do get my y! mail with YPops but it was slightly more painful to set up.Just wondering if they were going to follow suit with gmail and let people download their mail if they want to. -
Not a bad little game, not too much going on. I only could muster 265 in the 5 minutes that I played. Can't really see playing much longer than that, however I have been known to play the dumbest flash games for a long time for no apparent reason.Just as a tip I had some pretty good luck clicking fast at about double click speed to keep the copter flying basically level, instead of bobbing up and down.

As said best by Matt Nathanson, The best fourth Line of All Time: Laid - James This bed is on fire With passionate love The neighbours complain about the noises above But she only comes when she?s on top My therapist said not to see you no more She said you?re like a disease without any cure She said I?m so obsessed that I?m becoming a bore, oh no Ah, you think you?re so pretty Caught your hand inside the till Slammed your fingers in the door Fought with kitchen knives and skewers Dressed me up in womens clothes Messed around with gender roles Dye my eyes and call me pretty Moved out of the house, so you moved next door I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone You?re driving me crazy, when are you coming home

I remember that mirror part. I knew it was coming and it scared the crap out of me.

I have to agree with baphometslayer.... I think the the PSP tried to be a all in one media device, but with the games available it's not that great at games. Plus who really wants to watch a movie on that small of a screen. For me even those little portable players are small. And for music, if you really want to store a lot you have to buy the Memory stick media which seems to me to be a lot more expensive. The DS stayed true to gaming. Games for the DS seem to be better and the stylus and dual screens were innovative.

I would certainly be interested in a nice small device that I could unroll and read e-books on or something of the sort.

I had a lot of fun playing Shot Online. It's a golf MMORPG, and was in beta when I played a few months ago. I glanced at the webpage and I appears to still be free, but may be improved from the beta I played. When I played they even had regular tournaments in which you could win some pretty sweet real prizes.

I downloaded it this weekend and wasn't that impressed. I'm not sure if it was just the particular game that I got in or not, but the object of the game I was in was to kill everyone on the other team. When 1 was left standing you just start over again. To me this was kinda boring. The map was really small and not that interesting (but I'm sure there are more maps). I probably won't play again, I just didn't have that much fun playing.

I think that the new controller design for the Revolution is definately interesting. Especially for FPS and Jae-unit described I can be used to aim and may bring us a little closer to controling console FPS games like with a mouse and keyboard.If you read the 1up.com article about the new controller they describe the controller as it is shown in that pic and the Nunchaku Configuration. I've been chuckling about that for days now.

I usually wear it around my neck. I get lots of people asking "what's that little cube?" But I have carried it around in my pocket and it is small enough that you really don't notice it there.Because it's a cube it is obviously not the optimum shape for pockets and if you wear tight pants it might be annoying to carry.

Only two at our place. My main pc and a laptop that I use at work. Both connected via 802.11g (which rocks). -
Geocaching this is not your average treasure hunt
atomicnacho replied to BuffaloHelp's topic in General Discussion
I used to do a little geocaching with some friends from college. It's a good excuse to get outside and do something. Now with better portable gps devices it must be a lot easier. Our old etrex could only function as a compass while you were moving. So sometimes we had to walk in random directions out in the woods to find which way to go. -
I think that it is an iteresting concept. Seems from the demos that they describe in the demo that it actually works well, which is a step in the right direction. I don't think it will be enough for Nintendo though. They will need some help from their cash cows (Mario, Link and Samus) in order to stay alive in the next console race.

World's Smallest MP3 Player Well not really. If you look as some of the reviews on Gizmodo you'll see that based on physical volume of the player it isn't quite the smallest. Some thinner disk shaped players are a little smaller. The Mobiblu DAH-1500i is a cube shaped MP3 player that includes the following features: -512MB ($99) or 1GB capacity -MP3, WMA, and protected WMA compatibility (no it will not work with the subscription based services like Napster or Yahoo!, unless you buy the songs) -OLED display -FM Radio -FM/Voice Recording -Playlist on the Fly -Upgradeable Firmware The Mobiblu DAH-1500i is only available is the US from Walmart.com. This is OK, but left a little to be desired. This is how it came (Without the soda can, I put that in for a size reference). As you can see Wal-Mart skimped a lot on the packing material, and the player wasn't even in the center of the box surrounded by the paper that they added presumably to prevent damage. Fortunately for me it came in perfect condition and it didn't matter. But as most know UPS is not gentle with packages and this could be an issue for some. So here is the box it comes in. It's pretty standard, and made to look like the player itself, with that little window showing the player. Before buying it I looked at tons of pictures of it on various review sites, and I still was blown away when I saw it. The thing is really small. There are some pictures of it below next to a 40gb Ipod. But first here is what you get when you open the box. Basically the player in its little plastic holder, and another box that contains all of the cables and accessories. Inside the MP3 Digital Audio Box is: So from left to right you have; the cube itself, the USB/Charging cable, the software (just used for updating firmware), a nice little rubber edge protector, the manual, and necklace style headphones. You don't need any extra software to use the player with a windows computer. You just plug it into the USB port, it shows up as a USB drive, then you can just drag and drop your files onto it. When you open up everything you will notice that there is only one connector on the player, which serves as both the headphone port and also the USB/Charging port. This helps keep the size down as there is only one connector on the entire unit. I'm not going to go into much about the actual functions of the player, but one caveat is the controls. I think they are fine and have had no problems with them, but I can imagine some users having trouble. The controls are located on the sides of the player. With a configuration similar to the Ipod shuffle on one side, (play button in the center with up and down changing volume and side to side changing tracks) and the menu and hold buttons on the other side. You can also see the little rubber protector in these photos. These controls are intuitive and easy to use, if you are only using them a little. I am using this player mostly as a "press play and go" player, meaning that I start it playing and just leave it alone. If you are going to be changing tracks a lot or anything that would require lots of manipulations of the controls you may get frustrated. There are also some press and hold combinations that you need to get to all of the menus, but they are explained in the manual and easy to learn. One thing that sets the Mobiblu DAH-1500i apart from its competitors is the screen. The OLED screen is blue and is surprisingly readable. Track names scroll across and a pretty good pace making reading the names and also finding the song you want fairly easy. Another feature that sets it apart is the ability to listen to and record FM radio. Many gyms broadcast TV sound over FM radio, so with the Mobiblu you can tune into these stations without any additional (and possibly ancient) radios. Setting it to FM record mode allows you to record to MP3 from the radio. It also has a little microphone so you can record voice to MP3 as well. Conclusion: In my opinion this little player (with a little help) is the perfect gym companion. It is so small that while running on the treadmill I had to keep checking if it was still there. I say with a little help because the necklace style headphones didn't work out that well. They placed the player right on my chest which tends to be one of the sweatiest places, and also being made of a kind of rope they tended to soak up sweat. So what I did was attach it to my waist and use another regular set of ear buds and it was perfect.
