I dunno, I had a ton of fun playing my FarCry levels that were set up mainly as fun physics and explosion sandboxes. I can only imagine the mayhem to be had with the new crysis engine. Physics sandbox + nukes = fun.
Minerals are commonly not pure chemicals. Trace impurities often give the mineral specific properties.
Emerald is a variety of the mineral beryl, colored green by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium. Sapphire is Aluminum Oxide colored by trace amounts of iron, titanium, or chromium.
While that may be the reason for their initial creation, the continued existence of these laws provides many overzealous individuals a legal base by which to perpetuate their myriad witch hunts.
Too many politicians not only lack the knowledge to responsibly legislate on issues regarding the technical world, they lack the foresight to notice that these laws could be applied far beyond their originally intended scope. On a more sinister note, perhaps they just don't care and are far more concerned with the votes than with the laws' potential impact, as the parent poster said.
No matter which is true, it's a sad picture of American politics.
When you realize that the data created at a single personal computer in your home accounts for One 161-millionth of the entire world's data production, you gotta ask yourself: do I seriously have time to watch all this pron?
It seems a common theme among most of the "gaming walls" that/.ers have experienced is an issue with save systems. Personally I've run into some issues with saving at inopportune moments, or the autosave feature doing so, forcing me to either load a save game from hours or even days ago or give up.
I've run into this problem in the Metal Gear series before, but since the game was still so great I went ahead and started over from my older save.
Now in another scenario, with a game that I found far less attractive I would have just shelved it. In fact, I've done this with a few less than noteworthy games.
It's not really saying much for it. Not long ago I had an excel spreadsheet listing all of the power generating stations in the entire state of California including their power generation capacity. Of the over 37,000 registered power stations (this includes quite a few extraneous ones) Diablo Canyon and San Onofre together provided about 40% of the total power used in the state. The majority of California's power generation is Nuclear, Oil/Gasoline, and Coal based.
I'm going to have to see something more than a cheesy GIF on a tech website that I've never heard of No kidding, the render looks like a game I used to run on my old 286. You'd think if these guys were actually serious they'd have a render of at least, say, Quake 3 quality.
There are similar traffic issues in the San Diego area. At the 805/5 merge and on many of the other freeways in San Diego there is still a lot of ongoing construction. Often times, as in the case of 5 south just before the merge, construction will result in a temporary string of concrete barriers right at the edge of the fast lane and the slow lane. With literally no shoulders traffic can slow fairly dramatically.
Having driven to Los Angeles a few times recently I can say this isn't confined to San Diego. There are many areas in Los Angeles with little to no shoulder from the fast lane. The claustrophobia of driving 115mph with a wall a few inches to your left and a huge SUV inches to your right can be a little unnerving.
Los Angeles traffic is a whole 'nother animal altogether though.
Hey man, if you had to star in as many gay fetish movies as they did before making it in the biz you might understand. As far as they're concerned, they're still getting paid for that long day with all those trannies, back before they made it big enough to be in straight movies.
type of access required to access the systems (internet? LAN? dialup? carrier pigeon?) I'm going to submit an addendum to RFC 1149 requesting that the pigeons be trained to release their excrement on moronic, unsuspecting members of congress during transmission.

Wawaweewaa! Ooh lala! Oh well, King of the Castle, King of the Castle, I have a chair! Go do dis, go do dis, King of the Castle!
We'd end up with an entire O'Reilly Factor on the subject of how some fringe candidate named CowboyNeal was taking votes away from real candidates.

Once you've got a digital video stream transmitting to the brain it wouldn't be too hard to manipulate it to produce "hallucinations".
/. Headline in 2015: "FractalStars.c now a Schedule I Controlled Code Block"
I wonder how the DEA/FDA would treat hallucinogenic code?

They should make an "I'm Linux" commercial.
They should cast John Roberts, the guy in the enzyte commercials, for windows, and Ellen Feiss for mac.
As for who would play linux? I'm thinking a /. poll for that...
New Poll: Who plays "Linux" in the commercial?
- The Geico Lizard
- Scarlett Johansson
- Jonny Lee Miller aka Zero Cool
- Carrie-Anne Moss
- CowboyNeal
The link for the exchange has already been /.ed, anyone got a mirror?

So this is kind of like a reverse DLP?
Nice pick up line, I'll have to try that at the bar.

Next thing you know we're going to have server racks coming out of the closet.

Sounds like a regular virtual fetish session.
Nearly the same could be said of Brian Posehn.
Take a look at his "Metal By Numbers"
