really? Okay, first someone that steals a laptop off someone's car roof isn't a professional laptop thief. Those people are at the airport. Second, there might be data on there for banking and credit cards and stuff or blackmail or more downloaded porn lol. And thirdly, you never know how many activations of XP are left and most laptops these days need a screwy, dumbed down restore disk and the license key literally won't work with a standard install disk. I heard Dell is at least like that.
a nose is just a limited, selective set of chemoreceptors or whatever. So instead of trying to produce similar ones, just take two of those "everything sensing" plates that they said can identify any type of matter and stick em inside a silicone nose and call it a nose. It'd work better than trying to replicate the way organic ones work.
oh yeah, take a really sharp magnet and touch a helium balloon with it. KABOOM! Now imagine that except a million times bigger. Scary stuff! By the way, I'd feel better if that statement was from the CERN safety division not the CERN theory division, whose favorite saying is "we don't really know what's going to happen"
really? Cuz it mostly just makes me want to slap these people. That and I gotta mention that in The Matrix, almost every person was an actual human, they just weren't really there. But it was a human "driving" their virtual counterpart so they weren't fake. That and I wanna slap that freaktard. Did I mention that yet?
I'd say it's not enough time to write a new OS but definitely enough time to fix all the stuff wrong with Vista...okay, most of it. So if that's all they did, I like the features that do work in Vista. If they add back the stuff they purposely removed like recording off the stereo mixer interally on the sound card and ohhhh maybe let me play movies properly and make it stop crashing, I'd buy it. Actually I really wouldn't cuz I run a ton of old apps but it's the thought that counts. Of course I should say that if all they did was make it look a little different and apparently removed features (as heard on slashdot) and still left all the ridiculous crap in it, then it's is OVER FOR MICROSOFT! They better start making clothes or something cuz they're done with computers then.
actually, I read an article about nano-punch cards that could store like 800 GB per square inch. They said making 0 impacts or 1 smooth areas would be simple even down to like 10 nm apart. I really hope we don't see that ever.
I'm not business man but maybe they should make them not cost like double. If they were like a dollar or two more, everyone would buy them! But like $25 for a movie, not gonna happen for me at least.
I work for an IT contracting place (Tek Systems) and I've had no work for about 5 months. Basically now the process is if the IT manager says hey, we need a team of people to do this, let's hire some contractors from TS, management says NO! Good thing I repair comps in my off time cuz that never fails, especially for 1/3 Geek Squad's price.
well if they're like me and learned how to throw knives from youtube vids, then I guess so. But that brings up a point each way. Yeah, you can learn knife throwing and stuff but what if you just want to throw knives for fun? Now you can't find it on youtube. It's keeping info from people who want to use it for legal purposes and that's just wrong. But, if they're looking up how to throw knives cuz they want to rob a bank or start throwing them at random people cuz they're psycho then they should be blocked from it, shouldn't they? Overall I don't think youtube plays a part in knife mugging at all. I don't recall any "how to mug someone with a knife" videos on youtube.
Some would even say that the game is responsing to outside stimuli and changing for the better in a way that could be called evolving. Or you could just EA pulled their heads out of their asses lol.
nice list but where's VB? That's what most small companies use cuz they want apps done FAST! So yeah, I've had good luck with vbforums.com. And if you're like "vb isn't a real language" um neither is php. Scripting isn't even programming in my opinion. When you can make a variable on the fly and never specify it's type or size, it's not a real language.
It's simple really and I believe it's two-fold. One, they can't write some simple code on the server to say if you came from a link on her website, either 404 or reroute them to a custom, rudely worded error page. Two, they're petty, angry people. You put those together and you get a pretty dumb law suit.
Whenever someone plays GTA and then shoots someone, they make that the news headline, ignoring the real fact. Oh wait, the kids had divorced parents and were abused when they were younger and were off their meds. But it must have been the GTA! GTA is corrupting every normal, healthy kid in the world! It's just stupid old people hating on something they don't understand. Good thing there's real studies like this.
No, that can't be it. Know why? Because...why would you put more processing and thus more heat in one place that already has problems with that? And why install an overkill graphics processing unit inside the processor if most people won't use it anyway? And why attach it to a part that's waaaaaay harder to upgrade and usually either requires a reactivation or reinstalled of your OS? And how much harder would graphics hardware driver updates be? And would it overheat laptops a hell of a lot faster by putting more heat in one location? (spoiler alert: yes) And where would the VGA/DVI output go if there's no graphics card? If you put it somewhere else then why move the graphics processor further away from the outputs? These are all questions that pretty much make his ridiculous idea incorrect. Apparently the author doesn't know much about computers.
Google bought youtube and has shown me videos related to ones I watched about a month after they bought them. Their horrible privacy standards need to be complained about a little louder. I think a big spyware browser that follows you around and reports back where you go is where we should draw the line. However, Microsoft doesn't seem to understand that just because google's browser is worse, that doesn't mean IE8 is okay.
I think it's more of a counterfeiting thing. There are tons of fake Nikes coming from Asia that are honestly way worse in quality, durability, and comfort. So that's gotta end. But plugging an ethernet cord into my shoes once a week or they'll stick to the floor and refuse to move, that's a problem. Oh and weigh you too. I don't know that's for sure what they're going to do so I guessed based on their previous products. So their implementation is probably gonna be some ridiculous idea that won't fix anything but it is a bad problem.
I don't think you need a receipt to get a manufacturer warranty on the product, just to return it if your place of purchase has a failuer = return policy. If you get a BFG one for example you get a lifetime warranty, I think without even having to mail them anything after you buy it. You could return it to newegg.com if it fails within a short time but BFG will do the same thing faster.
I hope by "they" you mean the morons that read google, assumed it was true without checking their fact, and put it on Bloomberg. Google doesn't have any responsibility to ensure that what they're showing is true. The people who made the article do and so do the people reading it and re-posting it elsewhere. Oh and the trigger people ruin the economy daily by auto-making stupid decisions all at once.
If you walk around in the park and watch people and write down what they're doing in order to prove they're doing something illegal, that's called an investigation and you need a license. That's also "publicly available information that millions of people have access to" or whatever they're claiming. It doesn't have to be private, hidden information to be an investigation. In fact, getting that is basically just called a subpeona, not an investigation.
Okay so it can't be "cloned" but with any RFID chip or any wireless device really, you don't have to clone or fake anything. This makes it sound easier than it is but basically you just record what it beams over wirelessly and then repeat it and tada, it thinks you're the original chip. You don't have to decrypt it or even know what it is you're beaming over, just broadcast exactly what the original one did and it thinks you're that one as long as it doesn't change every time. That could be a problem for passports and those badge sensor things at workplaces. Not so much for chips that don't repeat the same thing over and over though but who uses them for that?
At least that way repair shops won't have to be all confused about fixing the new technology that they didn't have time to learn about yet cuz the owner can just swap anything out.
If nobody got together and started some activist movement, which btw I think is awesome, they'd still get crap reviews from everyone that can't play the game because the DRM is stopping them. I don't know the exact workings of it but if their comp crashes and they have to reinstall it and it doesn't work or they're trying to play on a laptop while in a car and it can't phone home or a similar situation, they're going to go write a bad review about it. What's happening now is just a bunch of people warning everyone about it ahead of time before they buy it cuz the ratings were going to look a lot like that soon enough anyway.
I was gonna say pretty much the same thing. Open sourcing the engine is kinda pointless unless they also give us an already working copy of all the sound files and skins and stuff. I mean yeah someone could probably rip them from the game data but that'll take a long time. And you probably could have just done that already and stuck them in a better engine, although it would be noticeably different.

I don't think he worked heavily on the hardware though so its quality and design and how it causes the red ring issues wasn't really related to him.
