Either it will work or it wont. If your card is not compatible with DX10, it will be obvious (likely the driver will not install). I have not used Vista/DX10, but if it's anything like XP you go to either ati.amd.com or nvidia's website and download the driver. Easy as pie, just select the newest version.
At this point there are no DX10 exclusives, so if you get a game that should work with DX10 and your system does not support it, it will use the 9.0c interface. You prolly won't notice a difference.
Get real. Just because you add the word "freedom" to the start of a sentence doesn't mean you are describing a real freedom. US users are not being blocked because the US is "too free." They are being blocked because US laws meant to protect copyright holders may require logging and disclosure of logs. This is in conflict with privacy policies.
My point was that in the US, individuals are "free" to sue someone if they believe that they were wronged by the defendant. Because the RIAA is free to sue people for downloading they have had some judges compell some orginizations to basically incriminate themselves and thier users.
So basically, what started as a freedom to sue for losses, turned into a clusterf*ck requiring websites to either:
a) Incriminate themselves and thier users
b) Cut the US out of the picture and carry on business as usual.
I also wonder if I have to start worrying about other sites blocking American users simply out of fear & safety from the United States MPAA/RIAA run court system? I used to feel sorry for Chinese people who had to suffer from their government's censorship and now I have to wonder if I'm going to start suffering from other servers censoring me based on my government's actions
You bring up a very valid point, what we have here is reverse censorship. Because of the freedoms (freedom to sue for losses) offered in the US, these restrictions are imposed.
But.. That's assuming that whenever you use your internet connection, you are saturating the line. This, as you hopefully know, is rarely the case. If someone was outside using my connection for web browsing, without myself using the proper monitors, I would likely never know.
Therotically, I could download 3.24TB (Bytes, not bits) a month on my internet connection (10Mb downstream) but I clearly never approach that.
Oh God, mod parent up! I'm sure that a lot of people here already know this, but they used to play this after Jeopardy!. One of the Most Annoying ads ever.
2.6 Petabytes. The article says that they will be collecting petabytes of data. Also, the article clearly said GB.
GB= Gigabyte
Gb= Gigabit.
The thing that I thought was "Wow that's ALOT of blinking lights!" Sweet!
If you have to rig up some elaborate lighting system, what is the point. I could be missing something, but what advantage does this technology bring to the table?
Experimental = Insanely Expensive
Magnetic based = Likely affected by EMI
Newer then LCD = Less reliable
Even if is saves power, new LED monitors will offer power improvements...
If you have ever listened to Electonica, you would know that the record stores don't carry most electronica bands. Staling is really the only choice.
Most of the time if they do have a CD, when you buy the CD, it is not nearly as good as the live set.
Gasoline is not flammable. The vapor is. This means that a gasoline fire is limited by the ability to create gasoline fumes.
Hydrogen on the other hand, is a gas at room temperature, so if a hydrogen tanks blows, you get a big cloud of Hydrogen gas, and maybe a small puddle of liquid Hydrogen at 252.87 degrees.
When the hydrogen tank blew though, it mixed with air rapidly, and created an explosive mixture of air and hydrogen. Gasoline on the other hand, has a smaller explosive area, due to the fuel being liquid but would be able to sustain a burn, instead of a "pop".
Sony used to work as a company of individuals. The walkman and the original Playstation were developed by one man teams, which were to compete against each other. Once things get too complex however, it is impossible to do it one man. Sony realized that and is now working in a team environment.
I am not a Sony fanboi by any stretch (I don't own anything Sony, nor would I give my money to Sony), but it illistrates that things are now too complex to take the 'lone wolf' approach.
Just my 2 cents.
It's called a Man-in-the-middle attack. Say you go to google.ca (I'm Canadian) It goes something like this:
You> Yo DNS server, I wanna Talk to google.
DNS> Roger that! Go to 72.14.253.103.
You> Yo 72.14.253.103 Whacha got?

You> Looks like Index.html says I need the google picture.

Good call! This definately makes sense. Someone mod parent up as insightful.

I would donate money for the greater good as well. I would rather pay $100 now then $40/mo for the rest of my natural life...
Why didn't the lameness filter catch the parent comment?

I think that it would be considered a "Threat". ie. "Death Threat", which is illigal. Last time i checked, bombs kill.

Pretty sure the point was that one should have a wired network that is critical, and a wireless network just for fun.
I agree 100% Wireless is nowhere near as reliable as wired.

Are we talking about the same internet?
I could be wrong (If I am, someone will prove it) but I don't think that BD+ is in use at all yet.

We knew this a while ago, but still, whenever I hear about my dear Internets being censored, it makes me sick.
The only thing that I have to remember is that my password is in my top drawer written on a sticky note.
