Your mind doesn't care about the laws of physics. It only cares about how it perceives them. While a splash screen will always increase the load time of any application, the user will perceive the application as being more responsive and faster to start than without the splash-feedback. To your imperfect, biological sensors and reasoning, that is all that matters.
There is a simple resolution to this new weapon: countries known to be in the market for it will have their civilian merchant fleet classified as legitimate military targets.
Space cannot exist without matter just as time cannot exist without movement. When everything down to the smallest atoms stands still, it becomes impossible to measure time just as it becomes impossible to measure space without matter residing in it.
But just as space indeed contains matter, matter contains -or creates- space. Space is created in black holes, where matter squeezes itself infinitely inwards until it inverts itself into a new space/time/matter dimension. In the end, yes, matter, space, time, movement -it is all the same; energy at different aggregate states.
This might be one of the main reasons they are retracting this feature. Companies are selling game consoles at a loss. The real money is made with the games they sell. If Universities and NASA are buying up your consoles as cheap processing power, that's not good for their business.
Obama isn't corporate as you are making him out to be. He is fascist in his policies so far
Please read up on fascism and get your history straight before spreading bullshit like that. Fascism is about a dominant race, a dominant culture, believing that some races and cultures are inherently better than others. Now please explain to me just how Obamas policies are "fascist".
Jesus Christ, what is wrong with you people? What the fuck do they teach in U.S. schools?
"Speech" is worthless if someone has a monopoly on it. Why is all of Europe in dismay about what is going on in Italy with Berlusconi and his right wing party, but all italians love him? Because Berlusconi dominates a huge chunk of the italian media. Why can Republicans in the US spread ridiculous accusations, fear-mongering and false facts about health care, but have so many people believe everything they say? Because Republicans and their friends dominate a huge chunk of the US media. In Venezuela you have the same situation. The media in Venezuela is/was dominated by the former, wealthy upper class that tried very hard to spread rumors and lies to have Chavez discredited.
I'm no Chavez supporter, in fact, I think Chavez is a populist and more often than not, a bafoon. Perhaps he is truly consolidating his power now. But what I'm saying is that the wealthy establishment that fights against Chavez never played nice by the rules either.
Actually, Chavez has done quite alot to give a voice and financial help to the struggling poor and indigenous people of Venezuela. This doesn't excuse his campaign against free speach and democracy in his country, but you have to understand the situation on the ground there. Under previous regimes only the rich, white upper class had anything to say. Poor people were working under very bad conditions and had noone to speak for them. Then there's the fact that the U.S. staged a coup attempt against Chavez shortly after he was democratically voted into power.
So what Chavez is doing lately certainly isn't the right thing, but I can understand why he is prejudiced and very suspicious of the establishment and the rich folks controlling the media in his country.
Yes, the Gaza population voted Hamas into power, but the situation on the ground is more complicated than that. There are too many splinter groups operating independendly from another to attribute every attack on Israel to the "Gaza government".
Anyway, indiscriminately targeting civilians is how terrorists operate, not how a sovereign, democratic nation should operate. Terrorist groups like Al-Quaida justify killing american civilians because "they are responsible" for the government they voted into power. To terrorists, civilians are legitimate military targets due to this reasoning, the same reasoning Israel often applies and that you are applying right now.
I believe democratic nations should distance themselves from that kind of reasoning and keep civilian casualties to a minimum. Something Israel repeatedly fails to do, even though they claim otherwise.
Taking action? Such as leveling entire city blocks and burning and melting civilians with phosphor bombs? The collective punishment of Gaza population every time a few idiot extremists decide to toss their makeshift rockets into Israel is rather drastic "action taking".
Not to mention the other kind of "aggressiveness" of Jewish settlers, building on occupied land against international law but with support of the current government.
You know, parents wanting to get rid of their kids is not unheard of. Especially if stepfathers are involved. So, buy a Wii controller that looks like the real gun you have at home, then talk your kid into holding the real thing against its head and shoot.
Integrating multiple information sources is crucial to solving information overload. Blogs and other anthology-sites integrate information from many sources. But we won't be able to solve the overload problem until each Internet user can choose for himself what sources to integrate, and can add to this mix the most important source of all: his own personal information — his email and other messages, reminders and documents of all sorts. To accomplish this, we merely need to turn the whole Cybersphere on its side...
So nVidia FINALLY acknowledged that there is a problem with their newer graphics cards.
I've been having this problem for over 5 months since I got a new GTX 275. Games would crash or freeze because the fan duty cycle would stay fixed at 40% even with temperatures higher than 75. I reported my problems to the nVidia forums, but people there said it had nothing to do with the driver, but was probably a manufacturer BIOS or chipset issue. Still, since the problem can be solved by software using RivaTuner, I don't see why nVidia can't take responsability and provide a fix for this issue in their drivers.
The U.S. "research model" that catapulted the U.S. to the worlds scientific frontman after WWII was capturing, pardoning and assimilating German/Nazi scientists.

and I'm further going to suggest that they aren't so afraid of Israel (who doesn't really have a history of aggression)
I think 1.5 million palestinians in the Gaza Strip would disagree.
Does that guide still apply if I'm confronted by a black, slimy alien with a penis for a head, two sets of mouth and alot of sharp looking teeth?

Maybe not likely, but certainly plausible.

Here is a YouTube guide on how to configure RivaTuner so that you can play your games again:

Keep in mind that for some reason, you have to have RivaTuner -AND- the Hardware Monitoring both running for the settings to take effect.
