Name one of those nationalities that contains the word "America" in the name of their home country.
Thanks for playing.
It's not our fault they weren't creative in their name creation. Instead of coming up with a name they just defined their country. They are the united states of America.
Their laziness doesn't give them exclusive rights to the term American.
Did you know that at exactly 4:04 am GMT every morning, for exactly one millisecond (the first milisecond of the minute), the Internet around the world goes down. Proove me wrong.:D
IMHO: Ok, the first one that the girl did about the Principal being a pedophile is just mean spirited and cruel. The second one the guy did about the Principal being a drunk and a pot head kinda paints a funny picture...
Adobe has had the nasty habit of releasing 3rd rate software at ridiculous prices for the last 10 years. While Microsoft has actually cleaned up their act. Congratulations Adobe, for becoming the new Microsoft.
...only if you can write faster than you type and still read it.
The fact of the matter is that I spend many more hours working on my laptop in my course and at home, then taking notes in class (and handwriting), so I can type more accurately and faster than I can write. If I were taking handwritten notes, it would: A) take more concentration (because I would have to look at the page to stay on the lines, as opposed to touch typing, and reading directly off the board) B) look like sh*t because I would be in a rush, and would make the notes useless. C) take at least 2x longer than typing, meaning that by the time I have written down what's on the board, the prof. has already wiped it clean... not to mention I wouldn't have heard a word while I was taking notes.
If you do it properly, you will have a strong word processing application. NOT MS Word or OpenOffice, but something more basic, like Notepad, TextEdit, TextMate, VIM, or Nano. Then you will have two documents open, one for notes, and the other for questions. And the last thing you will have open is a simple drawing application to sketch out something important. You could do all that in Pages, Word or OpenOffice, but If you are not familiar with the interface, and you can't insert drawings and graphs quickly, then there is no point. You don't want to ever be in an instant where you are fumbling around in the dark.
Wait, which sparkling gold bar? It has been a while, but looking at some screen shots, I can't seem to find any gold bar. Don't make me breakout my CDs and reinstall it again.
So then -- and this is a genuine question -- why are RISC based devices so much more powerful while using a lower clock speed, and consuming less power?
I think the far majority of games are x86 windows based games.
You have to remember that x86 itself is a shitty architecture, but is only used because of Window's dominance. A RISC based architecture would be much better suited for todays computers.
I think the big difference between a computer and a typewriter is that a typewriter is much closer to handwriting. With a typewriter you are actually physically placing the characters on the page, where as on a computer you are simply interfacing with an electronic device. A typewriter is much more natural, and the user is physically connected to each character typed.
It's also, IMHO much more satisfying to use, from a tactile perspective.

If you have a proper OS, and have configured things correctly, content will scale well and not be a problem. That is... Unless... You use Windows.
Do want!!!! Every home should have one!
I'm sure that there are laws protecting consumers from this kind of practice though... Not that that means much...

I see theory, and no proof. Plus, I just like to throw this line into conversation, and watch the reactions.
On another note, 133 milliseconds for light to circle the earth?!?! That's depressingly slow. No, no, seriously. :|

Sounds like a ploy by Fernando to get some more "workers" for Fernando's New Beginnings.

Man, this kind of horse shit pisses me off. Egg in your faces!
Cool.
Does it have damage modelling? And a wide assortment of cars from most manufacturers?
But it's generally considered to be the most realistic driving game/simulator commercially available isn't it?
Well thats a f**king surprise...
So then -- and this is a genuine question -- why are RISC based devices so much more powerful while using a lower clock speed, and consuming less power?
For example, this video was recently referenced in a /. post a few days ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4W6lVQl3QA
Where an atom processor at 1.6GHz was just about on-par with a 500MHz ARM based processor.
Ok so...
XBOX 360 RISC
PS3 RISC
PS2 RISC
iPhone RISC
Most, if not all Mobile devices RISC
Wii RISC
Sun systems RISC
Need I go on?
If you need power and efficiency, you use RISC. Always. Try to come up with anywhere near as many examples for CISC.
Ouch. That actually was funny! My proverbial hat goes off to you sir.

I think I'll just stick to Pepsi
You, just, made, my, day.
Thank you!
I'mma let you finnish, but C++ is the best programming language of all time.
More like Rights Mismanagement System.
So, it's gone from I can haz cheezeburger to I can haz stdio to I can haz accez to meh filez or I can haz certificate ?
Really this would be solved by one simple request:
I can haz openoffice?
It's late, I blame the time...
