Why not just get a video card with a TV out and use a large TV? At my college we had a special setup with like a 30" TV at 640x480 that was freaking huge for people with bad eyesight. I don't see why you couldn't do this at home except maybe with a smaller TV like 19-25" or so. After all, it's usually easier and cheaper to get TVs at larger sizes than computer monitors. There are obvious desk space considerations to take into account, but I think this could be a good option to mention.
Well, I can't speak for 'everyone', but I got an e-mail notifing me of a privacy policy change today, but nothing saying that all my preferences were set to yes. If it weren't for slashdot, I wouldn't have known about the change until I started getting TONS of spam, and even then I probably wouldn't have known exactly where to go to fix it.
Wow, I wish I still had my mod points. That line 'based on WHAT ?!?!?! Figures they had surgically removed from Sen. Hollins A$$ ??' almost made me fall out of my chair laughing.
It's absolutely true though that they have no real numbers and they aren't really in the digital market at all so how could they be 'losing money'? It's like me saying I lose $100k a year because I don't work in an area with a high cost of living. I suppose I'll be drafting a letter tonight to BOTH of my congressmen instead of just one.
The above poster is absolutly right with option one. With your skills, you can probably easily fast track through college. I'm guessing you'd be able to test out of your first year or two of CS classes and depending on math skills you could probably take care of that too. Take as many AP classes as you can during high school, they'll help out a lot. I took 7 APs classes and tested out of the first year of CS classes and basically started as a sophmore, and almost a second semester sophmore. If I hadn't been going for a double major (I wanted to pick up some hardware stuff too so I also did a computer engineering degree as well as computer science), I probably could have graduated in 2.5 or 3 years, instead I still graduated a year before the rest of my classmates (it was a 5 year program). Pick a college that has a good co-op program, hell, you could probably get some co-op experience in High School which will be worth a whole lot more than a degree. Combined with a degree and good experience (and of course excellent references), you will be set to have companies falling all over you trying to hire you. When I graduated a year ago, I had four companies, that I wanted to work for (lots of others that I didn't want to work for), that were trying to hire me, and of course I used it to my advantage and got hired 50% higher than the initial offers which put me to almost six figures, but I'm sure you'll fare better than that especially by the time you get out.
With your current skills and abilities at your young age, you will be set to kick mucho arso when you get out of college. Enjoy your childhood, get a degree, stay current with technology, and be prepared to turn heads.
I wish you well in the future, you have bright one ahead, and may the force be with you.
-See Theater Schedules & Order Movie Tickets to coming shows. -Ordering Food and drinks from the kitchen and bar without talking. -Ordering the movie soundtrack online or video releases in advance.
Quite often in movies, I'll think 'Wow, the soundtrack sounds cool. I'll have to remember to buy it', but of course I never (or very rarely) do with special exceptions for Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. But if I could order it online right when I'm thinking about it thus causing me to spend money on the spot, it would make more money for the RIAA. Likewise with popcorn, drinks etc at the theater, I don't often want to get out of my chair and miss part of the movie so if I could order it right there and have it delivered, I'd probably be more inclined to buy those things.
In all I think it's a good idea and a smart move for them, as long as they force people to mute their laptops.
Actually they were *asked* to leave because a compromise accetable to both parties could not be reached. Which to me means that Sony probably offered to make them display only, but Microsoft would not accept that. Leaving of course no other option besides probably removing the displays all together which would leave them very little purpose in being there or just leaving entirely.
I'm guessing the following options were available: 1) Only allow Sony employees to play the consoles (similar to the way it was being done in the Microsoft booth) 2) Make the consoles display only 3) Remove the consoles from the booth 4) Ask Sony to leave
Three guesses on which solution was the only one Microsoft was willing to accept...
I wonder what could be implied by "improve its relationship"...
I'm sure it probably went something along the lines of meeting for a friendly dinner (paid for my Microsoft), and the Microsoft rep just 'happen' to leave behind a briefcase with a large amount of cash, however, the DOJ rep was unable to find the MS rep later on and just 'had' to keep it, oh darn.
* Detractors: * Well, it is South Carolina * Convincing your staff to move here
I've lived in South Carolina for most of my life and I wouldn't say it's a bad place to live and actually right now I'd much rather be there than here in colorado where it's -20 with the wind chill:). The only real detractor I would say is the hurricanes, but california has earthquakes, so pick your poison. However, if you go too far outside of the main cities, you have to deal with hicks and rednecks. Charleston is really pretty and the coast has some nice beaches, and I would say it's a pretty good place to live.
On a side note, you will have to get used to a few cultural differences: "ya'll damn yankies better no be comin' don her and talk 'bout no 'civil war', ain't been no 'civil war', ya'll must mean da 'war o' nothern agression'!"
Since Microsoft has been found guilty and the courts just need to determine a punishment, why does Microsoft have to accept it? Who ever asks the defendent if they accept the term of their punishment? Of course the defendent won't want to accept the terms, but they shouldn't have the option of choosing their punishment, because they are guilty. They aren't higher than the law, and once the prosocution and the judge agree on a punishment, it should then be forced on the defendent.
This whole process of Microsoft having to agree to a settlement is pointless, and a waste of time, and I don't see why they even have to agree to it, it should just be forced on them.
I would base the 99% on the fact that of the 100 or so e-mails I get in a week (about 15-20 a day), only one or maybe two of them are valid e-mails I actually wanted.
I'm not sure if international sales count in this, but the only game I've bought this year was Uplink that was featured on Slashdot. Other than that, nothing else has really caught my attention in the gaming market. Maybe if they came out with something new and interesting I might buy it.
What the game companies need to do is figure out innovative ways to break out of standard genres like FPS or RTS, which is probably why I liked Uplink and probably why The Sims did so well, because they aren't standard genres that have been rehashed over and over again and are just getting old now.
It seems like it would be very easy to come up with something interesting, and only a small fraction of those interesting things are actually useful.
Examples of a few interesting non-useful things I can come up with just off the top of my head:
Google Poet: Generate rhyming poetry from randomly rhyming sentances on the webpages in the database.
Googlesaic: Input a picture and scavenge the webpages for pictures from which to create a large mosaic of the input picture.
Google Map: Create a picture/graph of all the website connections (links) in the webpage list, perhaps add 3d/naviations. Perhaps perform graph opererations and maybe find the longest path one can travel through the links and still stay within the Google search results/database.
These are just a few, I'm sure plenty of other people can find much more exciting/interesting things to do, but they won't always be useful to the google company.
Now, if we can make existing Tx and OC-xx, lines move data 10 times as fast we might have the bandwidth/throughput to support these faster cable modems.
If we can't increase the throughput of the backbone lines, this won't do average cable modem users much good.
Actually, if their software was free/open source, the problem wouldn't be there in the first place.

I think you would probably have better luck just distributing a linux CD with the box so they can install linux themselves and dual boot. Or so they can install linux as a UMSDOS system and just loadlin to linux from windows. The linux CD could be your own custom distribution with only the necessities to play a game and not all the other crap that's included in most distributions.
Your idea of a boot cd is feasable, but as other people have mentioned, it would be a bit of an inconvience to reboot into your game. Getting the kernel right would be key, and you would probably have to have additional kernels downloadable from the website for odd hardware configurations.
These images would look nice on a calendar, assuming they were blown up to the proper resolution/size. I wonder if we'll be able to get them on Thinkgeek anytime soon.
I especially like the one with the huge solar flare:).
After/. posted the Uplink article, the introversion server went down. But now the server came back up yesterday (Monday), so you may now place your orders.

Somehow this seems like a very odd thing to me, effectively the prosecution is pleading on the part of the defendant
It's amazing what a few million dollars under the table can do...
