Not really...normally, your process goes to sleep during this time. Your CPU spends its cycles doing other things. From the point of view of the game engine the cycles are wasted.
There's a lot of waiting by the audio and character threads until everything catches up. That's called synchronization. That's called wasted CPU cycles.
Would you appreciate someone stuffing a roll of newsprint with gibberish and porn printed all over it in your mailbox every day? You've never gotten a free newspaper thrown in your driveway or stuffed in your paper tube? Around here a couple years ago someone was going around throwing racist pamphlets on peoples front yards. In a diverse neighborhood in a moderately sized city no less. Stupid and morally wrong probably, but I believe that sort of thing is legal and probably should be. Of course in the case of the free newspaper, you can call up and opt-out, same idea as the CAN-SPAM act.
Republicans belong to big business and the wealthy. Democrats belong to trial lawyers and Hollywood. And BOTH of them want to spy on me, tell me what I can and can't do everywhere, and use the government to impose their interest groups' agendas on me by force. And between big business and Hollywood, they're both just *aching* to crack down on file sharing, DRM circumvention, or anything that doesn't make some studio money, prop up a lethagic music industry and their 80's-era Compact Discs, or protect an overextended movie industry and their overpriced "tentpole" movies.
When I read that comment I was thinking: I wish there was a way to save my favorite slashdot comments. Maybe a firefox extension that would allow you to mark a comment you like and then you could go back and see all the comments you had marked. Or does that already exist?

There's plenty of microbes that will live in concentrated acids and bases. In one of my wife's old labs, she once had to through out a jugs of concentrated NaOH solution because a fungus was growing in it...
Throw it out? Couldn't that possibly be something worth studying?
Maybe this will stop certain people I know from taking others unused antibiotics when they get a cold. Much easier than unsuccessfully trying to explain the difference between viruses and bacteria.
This project aims to find conditions that might only appear once in every 2,000 people (though how they intend to do that with half that number is unclear).
Well, they could sequence the DNA of people known to have rare diseases.
If you're truly Libertarian, Hubble is exactly the sort of thing you'd be against having the government fund.
C'mon, homefry. Walk the walk if you're gonna talk the talk.
Some Libertarians might be against funding things like Hubble. I personally am more concerned with personal freedom, and a balanced budget. Private industry isn't going to do certain things, Hubble is a prime example. The last thing this country needs to do is cut scientific research.
What can you learn about a meteor shower from 47,000ft that you can't learn from the ground? What can you learn from the dispersion in the first place?

I know I have regularly looked for youtube vids of real in game play of games I'm considering buying.

Notice my sig. Notice the GP's moderation. Then just forget about it ... U.S.-bashing is about 20% fact plus 80% ignorance.
So your saying there is some truth to it?
Yes, or even prevent an accident. I've been saved many times by an alert passenger, but strangely I've never hit anything alone either.
Irag II: Saddam had WMD (used it on Kurdish villagers in the 80s).
The potential threat existed.
What threat? Saddam had no delivery system capable of reaching the US with those "WMD".

Who among us will lead the fight for change?
Ron Paul?
Who among us will rally around whoever is courageous enough to lead?
A few, but probably not enough.....whoever it is.
Historically, it seems most police states are overthrown by an external force, or collapse on their own.
So did it run out of fuel or is it dead?
Someone somewhere has to be taking it or it wouldn't be a trial.
Ya, you might get into the trail, but you might get the placebo...
Yes, but wasnt night court for accused criminals to make bail?
only to refile just past the stroke of midnight.
Where can you file anything at midnight?

This is a prime example of the kind of useful knowledge that can be gained with projects like Hubble.
It's not bloody pictures! It's seeing proof that we have our maths right.
Or wrong.
