New and edgy Battlestar Galactica, Bionic Woman and even though I have not seen 1 episode yet, the new Knight Rider with Val Kilmer as the voice of KITT.
The medical industry has no reason to invent any cure for anything. There is no profit in curing. All they want is something that can aleviate the symptoms as long as possible. It is much more profitabe to sell cold medicine than to cure it. We're talking about billions every year here.
There will not be a cure for anything until researchers are affected.
What are those dogs doing sniffing at my feet They're on to something, picking up Picking up this Cheap, this Cheap
[Chorus 1:] Give me steam And how you think to make a deal Real as anything you've seen Get a life, wipe this cheater's dream
You know your good games from your trash You know your plastic from your cash When we lose money we'll fight brack The game is like crack And we'll screw you
Didn't I already see this on CSI? nick wanted this new gadget but Grissom said they could not afford it. he ends up using it in a case and in the end Grissom orders it./shrug
The problem with MMO's are they often try and predict what the player is going to be doing. You often find yourself somewhere you are not expecting. In World of Warcraft this can bee seen by other players as rubber banding, you character moves forward and backwards erratically or in Dark Age of Camelot where players produce artificial lag which causes the same effect but the game allows you to do actions while you are lagged such as casting, changing directions and others.
All predictions in MMO's save on bandwidth needed to actually play the game at the expense of player enjoyment.
The only question left for the consumer is this behavior acceptable to you?
Now where this new "neural network in each player's computer to predict fast, jerky actions." Is interesting but flawed. You can't have this stuff on the client computer. If you have never played a MMO, it my regret to inform you that, everything client side can be and will be hacked and taken to pieces to gain any advantage against fellow players.
Ok here's the problem with Bit Torrent and other free downloads. There's no marketing involved. It's all word of mouth. That's bad for the marketing industry as they can't show you all their other products that they have for sale. You are downloading a song so you won't see that new Led Zeppelin compilation at 65$ that just came out with the DvD interviews and limited posters.
So the record companies can't push boy bands as hard anymore because people know they are crap and just won't listen to them. So they are doing the next evolution in marketing. Pussycat Dolls and Rock Group Supernova, American Idol. Well that worked well except legitimate artists don't want to go that route.
The Record companies don't have a problem with iTunes because of the massive ads. As long as they can put something somewhere to entice you to buy this latest no-name band that they just singed to a ridiculous contract, and make a slim profit they'll be happy.
Halo Announced [July 21, 1999, 10:59 am ET] - Viewing Comments loonyboi just called in from MacWorld (where he's "on assignment"), with word that Bungie has finally announced their super-secret upcoming project, Halo at Steve Jobs' keynote address. The official Halo website has the first tidbits on the game, which is being developed for simultaneous release for both Windows and the Mac. loony got to see Halo earlier this year, and has been bursting at the seems to talk about it since then (but was under threat of death), because the demonstration (on a Mac) blew him away. The Press Release describes the game in detail, and I'll clip a piece below, as well as snagging the screenshot from the site, because it indeed, looks that cool. Here goes:
With no levels or breaks in gameplay, Halo gives players complete freedom of movement over open terrain. Vast outdoor vistas, complete with flora, fauna, weather and celestial events, are complemented with indoor environments of comparable detail and complexity. A universal physics model and persistent objects make events in this world utterly convincing. In this open environment, gameplay is not linear but unfolds in response to the player's actions.
So what now instead of all the Chuck Norris jokes you get Jesus jokes.
Jesus once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.
I remember way back reading Blues news and loonyboi had this new game from Bungie, how great it was going to be and it was comming out on PC next year. Well next year came, Microsoft baught Bungie and it became an X-Box only title.
I was so dissapointed, I don;t play console games.
I think it finally came out on the PC 1 1/2 year later but by that time my interest in the game was gone.
And I think this is what Bungie is seeing now. Yes they are probably making money under Microsoft ownership, but are also probably losing millions due to platform restrictions. who know i might buy Halo4.
Get over yourselves, this is a good thing at a time that may be most crucial. Vista has been widly viewed as bad. And unless Microsoft comes out with something new in the next 2 years the Linux/Mac community has all that time to show the regular Windows users why they should switch to Linux/Mac.
Mac is winning, not because it's better but because of Linux is an incoherent mess of dozens of distribution with no clear reason why to select one over the other.
You want mom and pop and aunt Rose to use it? Well here is your chance. don't fuck up!
>In the gritty post-BSG era, can anyone really take Farscape seriously again?
I loved BSG's first and second seasons, but last year was total garbage.
Same thing with Farscape everything going along fine until they blow up Moya and everyone aboard and the next episode everyone is back with no explanation?
Next thing you'll know writers will take an ultimate cop-out and just finish a show with a fade to black.
Well I was asked to evaluate this product 2 years ago. At the time it was not very useful as there were some problems. But last year when they did their update it was a good improvement on speed and memory foot print. For what it does the product works well. And with Googles money and resources behind it, it can only get better.
If you have a URL with nothing on it is it still a web site? If you have just a.txt file is it a web site? Does it have to contain HTML or other meta language? Does it have to have hyperlinks? How much stuff does it have to contain before it's considered a site and not a page?

Frankly they have no originality left.
New and edgy Battlestar Galactica, Bionic Woman and even though I have not seen 1 episode yet, the new Knight Rider with Val Kilmer as the voice of KITT.
And as Brian and Stewie say so well, here come the new night time swill.

DNF comming out in 2008, As much chance of that as Barak Obama or Hilary Clinton being elected to the presidency.

Let's see now, the attacker already has access to the machine and is probably the one creating or comparing the MD5. Is the problem really with MD5?

Yea look at the P2P software but what ever you do, don;t look ay go2mypc or google desktop. No those are far safer.

This is a Firefox bug. They Registered their application to execute FirefoxURL and do not parse the incomming information from %1.
IE just passes the information to the registered application in the knowlege that the application would handle the request properly.
So they pass it the -chrome parameter and it executes the javascript.
C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -url "%1" -requestPending
Now I wish that they would remove all DDE and OLE from IE but at this point they will not.
