Now, if RIM could figure out a way to convert that voice to data bandwidth, then we might have something to talk about.
No need to wait for RIM to do anything.
Get yourself an acoustic coupler and you're set to go.
Ok, speed may be a little sucky by today standards but hey free data bandwidth is still free data bandwidth
Ok I know my computer is definitely sub-par graphic-wise by today standards, but the performance is atrocious. And I'm talking about FPW (Frames Per Week) here. FPS on the other hand (Fuck Per Second) is rather high though.
Oh, and the mouse wheel's zoom controls are reversed.
Around here it works like this: - when crude oil goes up, pumps raise because "hey! Crude's gone up!" - when crude lowers, pumps raise because "hey! We bought our crude with the older price!".
My uncle has a bunch of vines and he makes wine by himself, and then he makes some grappa. Granted, it's not a lot of stuff and he makes that for his own pleasure only.
It happened when I was a lot younger I was there while he was distilling some grappa. He used the "old" direct-flame method, and a few minutes after the grappa started dripping out of the alembic I saw him grabbing the can and throwing the content away. Noticing my curiosity he promptly explained: "That was pure alchool. You have always to throw the beginning and the end or it may poison who drinks.".
So, by using the same method of distillation, the methanol with a sufficent grade of purity for use in a combustion engine would be somewhat limited in quantity. I mean yes, grappa can easily get 70%+ alcool in volume, but that's not all methanol.
As many of you already know, Steam works fine in wine.
Ok, it may not be 100% perfect: it doesn't recognize correctly the microphone from my 100% original SoundBlaster (but probably it's only me) and sometimes has quite long loading times. But it runs fine.
However I had to completely get rid of it. And the most funny part is not for a Steam's fault (just my uneducated guess).
Preamble: check the Nvidia support forums for various references to "NVRM XID errors".
There are some really nasty bugs that occur to a lot of users while using the 3D features or CUDA from their video cards, which render the computer completely unusable and requires a reboot (remote CLI access still works).
Now, check again: for those about the 3D acceleration it's always when using software (games) via wine.
Obviously (sigh) I'm one of the affected by this. But everything is fine while using native code (videogames, blender, w/e).
That lead me to the conclusion that it's wine who triggers the condition resulting in the freezes. Perhaps a malformed call to a function or something, I don't know. And, I repeat, it's just a my completely uneducated guess.
At the end of the day, the net result is: no Steam via wine (or any other 3D game, for the matter) for me. I simply won't trade stability for some time (can be a few minutes, can be a few hours, not predictable) of entertainment.
So, it's about time we can have it natively. I'm really looking forward for this.
I know I'm going to modded to oblivion for this, but whatever.
Cyclist runners are doped. Those who win the events are doped more.
And if you've ever seen even a single race stage you know that's the truth.
Run for *hours* at ludicrous speeds that would otherwise grant you a pile of speeding tickets if in a car and out of a competition, during the hottest hours of summer days, probably climbing up some hills... ...and then, magically, rush to 120% for the last 40 or 50 Kms for the sprint.
What? Are you kidding me?
Yeah, yeah, training and whatnot. I've already heard that.
I'll never believe that BS.
That's doping at work, and that's what I do believe.
Honestly, when was the last time you got a blue screen of death? Honestly?
Good question.
My honest answer: more than a decade ago.
Honest explaination: it's more than a decade I don't run windows anymore on my personal computers (at work is another issue: I get payed for using it, but it's not my choice neither my responsibility).
It's nearly ten years I use MLDonkey which - despite the name - supports the bittorrent protocol. It has a server-client architecture, you can put the server remotely and access it via CLI or web interface or via some third party front-ends.
So far it served me very well.
Elseway for the quick download Opera's integrated client works. It's rudimetary and very basic, but it works.
It sounds complicated but conceptually it's pretty simple: you have a top-layer monitor program program that accepts commands to replace lower-level processes.
Sorry to nitpick, but you got it backwards: "lower level" means more close to the bare-metal and "higher level" means more close to the user. So:
It sounds complicated but conceptually it's pretty simple: you have a low-layer monitor program program that accepts commands to replace higher-level processes.
FTFY
Besides this, I believe your post is 100% correct.
I asked my self the same things aswell, and here's some simple math: - how much is the impact on your elec bill? - how many years does it take to break even the upfront cost of the newer but less electricity demanding hardware?
- material degradation. While it may be easy to spot a superficial crack in a wall, many others are not (as referred in the TFPDF);
- the tecnicians who built the facility. As a clarifing example, let me tell you that I live near a petrochemical refinery built in the '80s, and as I'm a designer of industrial structures and installations, I've come in touch with many involved people over the years. The people who phisically built that refinery are long gone, either dead or retired. In brief, there's no more people who can say "I know that shit because its "mine", *I* have built it!". You know, stuff like that tingling valve, or the reason why on a section of a pipe every juction as multiple stacked gaskets (because pipe sections were cutted too short. True story lol) and the such. So, in the end, today it's more difficult to do maintenance on that installation (I won't say "it's more dangerous": the subject has *always* been inherently very dangerous) than a decade ago, and the situation is not going to be better.

No. It's Internet Explorer who hates me.
It's not my fault if it doesn't run on both my Linux workstation and my Linux Notebook.

If called tor a third ruling on the subject, the judges wouldn't be that kind. At all.

Bastards.
EAT THEM!
Eating them would be the easy part.
Pooping them would be the hardest.

Wait a minute...
The answer is not 42. Wtf?
We're not in a post-PC era. We're in a post-phone era.
PCs didn't substantially change in the last 10 years or so.
Phones did.
This summer topped at 2.00€/lt (over 10$ per US gallon at today's change) for unleaded petrol here. Over 45% of the price is taxes.
Just saying...

It hasn't "been taken offline". It's simply slashdotted :-)
I'd really love a t-shirt with the OMG Ponies logo.
Meh, I think I'll do it by myself, just for the fun of it.
Reference
Someone used the Imperial IP which is slightly bigger than the Metric IP, hence the result is 16.9.
Amazingly, the blank keys and the device are both available to buy at a bit of a price on the internet.
And the question is: how many BitCoins does those cost?
"It compiles. Ship it!"

How can one be sure the key in question is a private one and not a public key (aside from the working PoC)?
Are there markings who clearly differentiate the two like:
<!--PRIVATE KEY GOES HERE --!>...<!-- END PRIVATE KEY --!>
or something?

- how much is the impact on your elec bill?
- how many years does it take to break even the upfront cost of the newer but less electricity demanding hardware?
From there, it's your choice.
You have to deal with two important elements:
- material degradation.
While it may be easy to spot a superficial crack in a wall, many others are not (as referred in the TFPDF);
- the tecnicians who built the facility.
As a clarifing example, let me tell you that I live near a petrochemical refinery built in the '80s, and as I'm a designer of industrial structures and installations, I've come in touch with many involved people over the years.

So, in the end, today it's more difficult to do maintenance on that installation (I won't say "it's more dangerous": the subject has *always* been inherently very dangerous) than a decade ago, and the situation is not going to be better.
So, if I get this right, there will be two standards: the working one and the non-working one.
Guess which one the web-developers will follow?
