It's kinda like their software. They know it doesn't work and has glitches and will crash and they release it anyway. I'd list examples but it's basically all software they've ever written. When people made games for the N64 there was no patching. They tested it until it was basically perfect and then released it because a crash glitch was unacceptable. These days companies like Microsoft can change it from beta to release whenever they feel like it's just barely stable enough to work most of the time. It's all because they want their money now. Okay, I gotta list one example. Windows ME!
It's all a big, sneaky preview. First, you were close but I think they're gonna come out with a USB churro cooker. Hard to do with 0.5A which results in 6 watts but that's why it's so amazing lol. Windows 7 is going to be called Windows Conquistador or something else from the commercial and we pretty much already know they'll be on touchscreen tablets we can use in the shower. And along with the churro cooker, it's gonna have a cake maker too using the same technology. It might actually be powered by USB and user bodyheat due to frustration. But the end of that summary pisses me off. Yeah, everyone hates Vista cuz it's flashy and pretty and new but as for functionality, it's crap so we should all switch to Apple? WHAT?! Have they ever owned an Apple product? Oh boy, let's all buya n iPhone so we can be douchebags but we won't be able to actually access data with it most of the time and it'll break within weeks. I say we all go to Linux and stop wasting money on arrogant, dickish companies.
I have a web reseller account at Lypha and host 3 websites on it and the 3rd is just a file server. I get like 6 terabytes a month and some ungodly amount of storage (more than the server has I think) so now it's my file server and video hosting server. Streaming 640x480 WMVs @ 1.5MBPS bitches! Or whatever I want really, it's my account lol. I've put full res game footage up at times:D
Speaking of MIPS, isn't that something you measure x86 chips (or any chips) with? As in millions of instructions per second. I've never heard of an architecture based off a speed rating.
maybe they pulled a "stargate" and the company that made it was just like, "What? This is for something in space?" Btw I feel the need to mention that if you want a really, really sweet mirror of your own, crack open a buster hard drive. Those platters are smooth to what like 10nm or something? Yeah, I look totally HD in them:D
If you charge an insane price for satellite photos, your customer will just launch their own damn satellite. Btw I think what they mean is the size of one pixel is 50cm on the ground. That kinda sounds about right for a high res satellite pic. And finally, I can realistically say that it uses "pixels the size of cats!" Sorry SNES emulator graphics, but they get the title.
people here are REALLY picky here and they'd say "nah ah, it doesn't make you smarter cuz that implies a brain processing capability increase which is impossible and it's like upgrading the software instead of the hardware so it really just makes you wiser and blah blah blah" so I added on or whatever:P
I play DDR for like an hour or more almost every day. People might call that addicted or obsessive or whatever but that shouldn't even count. That's the only exercise I get:P And puzzle games make you smarter or whatever so where do you draw the line between video game and mental/physical exercise? No matter how you define it ignorant, old people should shut up about it.
Basically all animals have a response where when they go somewhere and something awful happens to them, they don't go back. Apparently NO residents don't have that. The only reason they keep coming back is because the gov is paying for their new house. I say cut all funding until those morons figure it out that it's a bad place to live.
If you make it a performance based type of thing like Dance Dance Revolution or a racing game, the person loses and knows if they reacted faster and stuff, they would have done better. They usually don't blame the game for that and get all mad. But if you're playing Splinter Cell and the enemies keep seeing you cuz there's literally no way to not be in the shadows to get past a certain point, that's seem as a game design problem. The most common problem like that is not being able to find a person or item in an RPG. You walk around town for 15 minutes and the person is nowhere in sight. Now that pisses people off cuz they have no control over it.
exactly! People come here to make more money and have more job opportunities. Companies hire people in other countries to pay them less. Americans go to Europe because they're liberal douchebags and Starbucks in the US wasn't enough for them. They come back and tell EVERYONE how awesome they are for being a sophisticated world traveler who hung around Europe for a few years and watch fine arts related performances and drank fancy wine and ate fancy wood and met weird people. Okay that and they do it to evade taxes and do drugs. So stay here.
Right now you can pick free music that at who the hell knows what quality cuz you can upsample anything and it might be a little chopped off or extended if they re-recorded it through the sound card to unprotect it and some files require weird codecs that don't play in every player. Or you can pick DRM music that won't play everywhere and the quality could be degraded and some players might choke on it and some PCs won't rip it or play it after it's been ripped and transferred. It's really pretty even when it comes to the quality of the product. If they'd cut the crap and give you a full quality recording you can do anything with, you'd go with the paid one. Then again if it's not protected, there would be a lot of full quality unprotected versions on p2p also.
In case you're wondering why they're using alcohol and oxygen, it's cuz that's what they used on the very first plane to ever break the sound barrier. And that was a long time ago so they're even better now! Apparently alcohol is more powerful than on the ground. I mean I lit a fire with 91% isopropyl and it was a little puff compared to gasoline but I think they're using ethanol or something like that that's a little better.
I read most of the article and from what I read, I'll assume it says "well, we built the structures but now we just have to fill them with maaaaaaaagic or something equally amazing that will generate electricity cuz the viri we have don't work"
they're busy buying other underperforming, overpriced, glitchy, new, status symbol crap: Apple products. So then the key is to put the SSDs in Apple products of course. Think about it, that would actually work. Rich Apple customers love paying more for anything that sounds fancy.
lemme explain why they haven't yet in case you missed how they phrased it. They built a "model" of the battery. They still haven't nailed down how to make the inside part work or how to build a real one. I could take out my legos and build a car battery sized box and say it's a "model" of what a magic battery would look like and say I haven't quite figured out how to make it generate electricity. This isn't news, this is like someone drawing a picture of a flying car and having no idea how to build it or make it fly but releasing a press release anyway.
knock out one of the walls and put in one of those movie hurricane fans that are like 10 feet tall and run on a v8 engine:D Then crank it up! It'll move air through that place so fast, the temp inside will be the temp outside! Now I'm from Wisconsin so that's rarely a problem but in like CA that'd be bad. But seriously, if $600 is out of your budget, you need to simply move the hot air out. Buy some ducting and install like a 12" fan in the ceiling (where the hot air goes) that blows down the duct and into the hallway or the closest large room. That's kinda what I do in my room at home cuz it goes up about 5 degrees Fahrenheit per hour of 3D gaming. So I blast it all out into the living room with a fan and it cools in back down to normal in about 3 minutes
speaking of that, we had a 7 year old cable modem and after the speed increase, it couldn't maintain that actual speed. That can't be good for the network! It was probably sending delayed and junk data nonstop when it maxed out. Our new one can do the full 8 megabits and won't jam up from p2p connections. Maybe they should find everyone with an old modem and give em a new, more efficient one
that's ILLEGAL in the US but this is the UK. Well at least the law in the US is that you can't be able to view or store a database of viewable customer passwords. Appaerntly the UK thinks that's a fantastic idea though.
You don't need to move it. California's not getting our wind powere here in Wisconsin! We'll keep it, thanks. If people generate electricity and use it locally, then it doesn't need to go anywhere far away. Why the hell would it? If someone lives in a place where the sun never shines and there's also no wind (and usually it's tipped one way or the other), they can either use nuclear or move. And what's this overloading crap? You know how many turbines it would take to equal a coal plant? When the power plant sees that less power is needed, the turbines spin slower, don't they? So you get 25% electricity from wind turbines, which btw would take thousands in most cities' cases, and it slows down to output 25% less power. What's the problem?
Maybe it's what he hasn't done lately. Apple keeps turning out crap like Leopard and the iPhone that are all flashy and hyped up to really get the showey douchebags excited and then the fail miserably and have unbelievble problems that make them not function at all. I don't think he'd let crap like that through if he worked on it directly.
didn't someone on ebay already win that one in court? You know with that really expensive software they were reselling and the company that made it was trying to control it and say nobody could resell the license or whatever. Yeah the company lost so if that's how the judge looks at this, Apple is screwed.
you're close. As a Wisconsin resident, I'd say at least 50% of all people in Wisconsin know why cows face the way they do. Okay, if they're laying down, it means they're tired. If they're laying down in a circle, shit is gonna go down like tornados and hail and stuff cuz they go in a circle to protect the younger cows, even if there aren't any (they're not very smart). If it's windier than like 10MPH gusts, they face with their butts to the wind. As for compasses in their brains...um no.
If you're dumb enough to make a backup CD and then save the ISO onto the hard drive just in case the hard drive crashes, you're dumb enough to sell it on ebay without wiping it. I suppose this could have been some sort of backup storage server and not the computer that actually contained the data to be backed up but for that price it's a little unlikely.

So why don't the PC makers charge you $30 to remove the crap instead? They probably don't make much more than that from the software makers.
