the movie thing is just a ridiculous coincidence. Obviously they couldn't turn a movie into a digital environment without making it from scratch. But they obviously stole Oblivion areas verbatim. I mean they didn't even move any objects! But the question is, why would they take the time to extract so many 3D models and environments and skins from that many games? It'd be faster to just steal a bunch of Oblivion areas and that's it. Don't most of the games listed above all use different 3D technology? It seems like an awful lot of work to convert them all! They could have just started from scratch instead. And the best question of all...who the hell did they think wouldn't recognize cloud ruler temple?! You have to stop there like 10 times on the main quest in Oblivion!
and I thought the only security hole in coffee was drugging it. Although technically, you could knock out the entire IT department with that one and probably do less with this digital method. Anyway, if a company approves an internet capable coffee machine in the budget, they deserve to get hacked.
wow, you have RR Turbo then. That's awesome. Sad to see you get slower than rated but that's still not bad. If you have a router and antivirus and other assorted stuff like that it probably cuts off the 2 megabits.
They've gotta have LED fans in the servers and windowed cases with neons on the inside that pulse to the beat of the music, which is of course playing out some kickers and a biiiiig ass subwoofer:P
And they've labeled cable broadband like 7000-8000kbps Road Runner as "real broadband." Hey here's an even better idea. For those "basic broadband" numbers, they should if people are actually getting 1.5mbps or if they're dipping into the "first generation" category in actual speeds. I don't know one single DSL provider that ever gives remotely close to what they promise as a top speed.
It's emulating libraries. That's enough of an emulator for me. When it reroutes library calls to new libraries and doesn't tell the application it's doing it, I call that emulation. Plus, doesn't it fake some windows hardware related libraries?
If any one of them was really smart and wanted to name it to win, they'd name it either blu-port, usblu, or usb 4.0. I mean seriously, which one are you going to use? One named USB 3.0 or 4.0?
Maybe they didn't have a spare core to process that hehehe. Seriously, this technology is useless. There's just recently been a graphics card that can anti-alias 8x in Oblivion at full resolution and keep 60 FPS. Why don't they work on real features instead of something that's just going to become another DirectX 10 in that nobody cares about it cuz it's a pointless, horrible upgrade to make (Vista and a new, probably expensive card, no thanks!)
You know that really doesn't matter if you beat them in court now does it? And given their recent history in court, they're getting stomped. They could put the settlement fee up to a million dollars and it wouldn't matter because nobody should ever settle.
I don't think that has a lot to do with it. It's probably power levels/quality and amount of time spent accessing it that kills the silicon layer of drives. Crappy ones can have tiny surges and have to constantly re-read and stuff so yeah I suppose a file system could filter out bad sectors and stuff on the computer side after it reads it just once but I still think it's a power quality thing.
I don't think the processors are what they should be worried about. I mean yeah, it flips a 0 or 1 and your ship blows up cuz of corrupted signals to certain parts but still, the humans inside need to be shielded from the radiation too! And I know all computers can't necessarily be inside a space vehicle but if they spent time making really, really good shielding, they could put it on everything inside or outside and keep everyone and everything safe and use regular transistors. All I gotta say is can lead be magnetized? That's make good polarized hull plating. That or tritanium or whatever they used on Enterprise (the crappy recent show)
If you rammed a moped into my 2000 Mercury Cougar's door at 45 MPH, it would make a small dent and that's it. If you did the same to fabric, it would be in my lap. It also hepls significantly in car crashes. So yes, "thin sheet metal" on the doors is providing tons of crash protection. The frame is just to keep the car from snapping in half in an accident.
Is it that hard to make the car lighter? You think fabric is going to help much in a collision? It's good in some places that are unimportant but not the doors! They should just use some sort of composite material that's light and strong or perhaps something with carbon and nanotubes in the name:D
Then why was there almost the same amount of crime before video games and "violent" types of music. People dueled to the death to solve stupid arguements like 200 years ago and they didn't have to see it in video games or hear it in a song first. Today most people wouldn't even consider doing something like that.
Back in the day when I played Runescape, pvp was absolutely ridiculously stupid beyond words. Everyone threw logical, nice builds out the window for pvp optimized, basically cheating characters. They'd appear to be an overall level of like 60 when they like lvl 90 in just one skill that they used to kick your ass. The area where pvp was allowed was pretty much just someone regular characters couldn't go. It completely ruined the game but even if they made that system fair, you drop all but your 3 most valuable items if you die! THAT WAS A BIG MISTAKE! There was literally no way to put on all your best gear and go fight someone (except in the duel arena) without one of you losing pretty much your life savings. No matter what you'd drop food and runes that you spent like 2 hours making. And because of this rule, you could be some ultimate character of death and go around killing people and still only make about as much as you could have crafting for the same time cuz nobody ever dropped anything of value. It was an absolute waste of time and the worst way to do pvp ever.
You know how laptops seem to be going downhill in speed and stuff and people are buying ones with waaaay slower hardware that don't even run windows. I never saw that downgrade coming (in the hardware, the OS isn't a downgrade!) but I wonder what the downgraded equivilant of this feature will be. I'm thinking fingerprint recognition or worse, ass recognition. You gotta sit on it lol. But seriously, you hold up a picture of the person and you're in. That's pathetic. And your webcam breaks? Uh oh, can't log in. So obviously there's an emergency thing where you can put in a text password instead. So what's the result of this amazing security feature? Another way to get in in addition to the text password! Total waste of time and money!
I assume this is like oh no, it's unfair competition that they're giving away their music for free. Okay time to play judge. Here's what I've got to say: "Sir, this company's product is software, not music. Case dismissed" *bangs gavel*
I'm gonna have to agree with that last statement in the summary. Basically under these circumstances, you take out the switch and you take out the plant and I doubt they guard the network closet as well as the reactor core. Plus the whole hacking thing. You really don't need to watch youtube videos and check your e-mail from a control computer and you can bring any actually needed updates and files to it manually via USB drive.
Yeah and then he added "If there's was a Bioshock 3 but really it's just going to be too late for Bioshock 2 and I just said it would be at the same time as 3 so you'd know it was after 2 but we're not necessarrily making 3" That's how I read it lol.
Why use water? That's harder and slower to move when it gets hot. Here's my idea. Stack boards of processors and then leave two opposite sides of the rack open and put one of those massive movie hurricane wind fans on one side and turn it on. I mean sure it draws some serious power but with a constant 80 MPH wind, your chips will stay damn cool! Plus, no need to worry about dust:D
Hey, I know people who lost 50 pounds playing DDR. Of course fat people stressing their knees nonstop is stupid, it at least gave me the ability to leap over 15 year old server cases:D I seriously got strong legs now! Plus I'm only 166 pounds no matter what I eat so I love DDR. It's the best fun exercise video game ever made. It might even cure AIDS and end hunger hehehe.
Well assuming it isn't as simple as "well it does/doesn't give off light so it is/isn't a star" even though I have no idea why it's not that simple, I'd say it's a good candidate for what most dark matter is. If it doesn't give off light and isn't close enough to a star to be seen (I mean this one is buy others like it) then it's dark, effectively invisible matter. If a nebula comes together from gravity and it's a really, really small nebula, it could form one of these instead of a star and we simply wouldn't be able to see it. Sounds like an explanation for the missing matter to me.

well no worries for me as I look a distinct mix of German and Dutch, which I am, but I guess they won't work in asian countries lol

liquid water doesn't change density for any reason ever, dumbass.

at least they didn't call it Q-ray or Qu-ray cuz they totally could have after they assasinated the e in Blu-Ray
