One of the scariest moments in Doom 3 is near the portal when everything is bloody and there are noises and shuffling. Things fall apart at certain areas giving out a loud noise. But the best part? There's no bad guys. None, its just freaky, going more than 20 seconds without a bad guy ends up being scary, because you ANTICIPATE one.
And if you dont think doom 3 is scary you didn't play on nightmare difficulty with 3d glasses. Fricken fly-babies...
Just disable silverlight in firefox (tools->add-ons->plugins) and it will go back to using windows media. I am one of those MLB.tv people who saw the same thing. The problem it looked like to me was that silverlight was only using software rendering or something, the bitrate was the same and yet the quality was worse, the framerate lower, and it was choppier.
And of course, dont get me started with me having silverlight installed but MLB.com accusing me of not actually having it installed, on both firefox and IE!
My problem with mms is that I dont like looking at blurry postage stamp sized pictures and 5 second video clips.
And actually, the iphone indirectly supports MMS because you get a text message and link that works in the web browser. Just click the link, then practice having good memory as you have to memorize an 9 digit alpha-numeric username and 2 word + 1 digit password. Instantly shows up in the web browser if you got it right, which is undoubtedly the hardest part of the process. It also expires in a week unfortunately.

Sooo the court is saying that putting Mercury (used as a preservative), a known toxin, into vaccines, didn't cause autism? Even though now they no longer do that and there is still risk that maybe some shady or ignorant vaccine makers still do that?
Sure there is no 100% correlation but if a vaccine changes your risk from 0.006% to 2% then that is something I doubt scientific evidence nor professional experts are going to be able to prove. My girlfriend while studying to become a nurse met an instructor with 3 autistic children (no genetic history) and 3 other people in the same class with autistic children. All lived in the same area. Pretty suspicious odds, if is not the vaccine its something environmental that wasn't around that much 100 years ago.
So how does this work exactly if I buy Windows Vista for OEMs off of newegg.com? You know, for myself or someone else, either way. Do I need to wait until the product description mentions this option or is this something everyone with Vista will get?
Mexico too. Of course there, people jump red lights by seconds and the taxi drivers drive crazy fast through narrow alley ways. At least they do in the area I visited.
Whats really funny to me is that I actually grabbed a pair of those super bowl glasses just to compare them to my e-dimensional set-up. Overall, I find them to be a very good experience. That article's technique is almost exactly what I'm using, although he fails to mention that you need to change the RGB values for the glasses to (255,255,0) for the left eye and (0,0,255) for the right eye. The color is much much better than Red/Blue glasses. If you have an nvidia card you have to try that out. Note that a lot of games (such as call of duty 4) render a texture in front of the camera. You have to change the distance between the eyes such that that texture is no longer obstructing your 3d view. You'll lose your HUD though and online that is often cheating since screen fades wont affect you.
Xbox Live's greatest asset is the microphone dynamics. Quite simply, its hearing someone talk and say something funny and authentically having a group of people laugh without pushing a button to turn on their mic and go "ha ha". A fun game is to guess where someone is from based on their accent, or guess their race based on their Ebonics (then check their "mii" picture and see if you were correct).
That said, it often times has bottlekneck issues which I find inexecusable given MS's deep pockets and the fact every person ponies up 50 bucks a year.
Go to Bob in less than 25 sectrons
Bob has 3 different things he can say, you can pick 1 of 3 responses to correctly correspond to what he says like the game Simon
Bob gives you item
Take item to Sally
Sally takes item, but only if you a dance combo consisting of 3 different possible dances. Also it must be what she asks for
Sally gives you 5 yellow spice, use it to trade for some blue spice by taking the yellow spice to Amy
You already have blue spice in your inventory. Sally gives you 100,000 spore bucks for it
Finally you must kill some turrets from the pen15 civilization in 45 sectrons. Before you can react though, 7 of your planets are at war and 2 ecodisasters are starting!
They can't even make a simple app like itunes run without bogging down a 3 Ghz machine with its relatively simple graphics. Doubt they could ever manage an SDK.
Kinda a silly article since it probably goes both ways.
Games I bought because of the demo:
Klick and Play
Dark Reign 2
World of Goo
Braid
Battlefield 2
Defcon
Shadowgrounds
The Ship (free weekend)
Red Orchestra (free weekend)
Day of Defeat: Source (free weekend)
Sam and Max: Episode 1 (and later both seasons)
Games I didn't buy because of the demo:
Left 4 Dead (fast zombies didn't appeal to me)
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People
a few I can't remember
Games I bought because of beta:
Red Alert 3
Overall, for me at least, the ones I've bought are ones where I didn't have trust that it was good quality beforehand or was unsure I would enjoy it. The ones that turned me away are the ones I was hyped up to think it was good beforehand either by good reviews or marketing. I probably would have bought them had it not for the demo.
I've bought a few songs and checked them. My personal information is only on the itunes files. I converted the m4a files to mp3's using itune's built in file converter and I do not see any of my personal information in them, at least in plain text.
so what happens when you send it to someone else in a "hey check out this song" kind of way, then that person is stupid and sticks it in their lime wire folder?
I see your point, although his point was that the method used are identical. Unix uses a method to keep users from running things other users dont want them to. This patent is about keeping a program running where it shouldn't or running at all. Just replace "keeps track of x from accessing/running y" with whatever you want, they are done the same way.
Patents should be entirely about solving problems. You should be able to list a problem on a patent application, survey a bunch of experts in a field as to how they would solve that problem, and compare that to the patent's solution. If a bunch of people came up with the patent's solution or comparably a similar or better solution then the patent is obvious. If everyone says "I have no idea", then the patent should be awarded.
Do anything in games ever get patented really? I mean the controller yeah, but everything else is just another game's "inspiration". Imagine if having a first person viewpoint and shooting something out the center of it was patented...
wonder if you can just grab the monitor, use e-dimensional glasses, and just use the beta drivers that support older cards and XP. I think I remember people finding that all those requirements (Vista, certain monitors, etc) were artificially put into the drivers and could be worked around.
ALso, e-dimensional's drivers work on all cards, although the only thing I find them satisfactory with is doom 3. IN Half life 2 for example, the gun is rendered as if it was this 50 foot sized gun in front of you that goes through the floor.
I have e-dimensional 3d glasses (google it). They've been out since the beginning of the decade, cost 75 bucks. Works on 60 hz monitor if its not widescreen, and you can get nVidia's beta drivers which will work with them. HOWEVER, the 3d isn't perfect for LCDs at 60 Hz, and there is some serious ghosting at the top of the screen for my monitor, so its kinda like your playing a hologram instead of 3d. Still though, doom 3 is pretty damn scary, stupid baby flies that jump at you...

sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen

Oh is that what CE stood for in Windows CE?

Your correct, I get port scanned whenever I post in slashdot.

We do that all the time tbh

I was going to say, I don't think this is a watermark as it is just part of the file format.

The "business center" at my apartment complex uses Windows 98 machines made by Micron Computers. Yeah, I feel real secure typing anything on them.
