I have tried three different ATI cards - all three ATI cards up and died on me within one year of usage, and I don't even play any graphics-heavy FPS games. After my most recent ATI card croaked (A Radeon X550, I think) I switched to Nvidia. So far my current Nvidia card has outlasted any ATI cards I've ever owned.
The problem with that is, 99% of the time the deletionist doesn't actually then proceed to make a better article. They just destroy. Easier than creating, I suppose.
I like the idea in theory. P2P storage, very nice.
Except that it relies on sucking up somebody else's bandwidth, which may or may not be saturated as they are torrenting pr0n and/or playing WoW.
And it relies on hard drives that will sometimes unexpectedly get wiped from time to time, completely without notice and beyond my control or knowledge.
And except that someday, inevitably, somebody will break the encryption and will have access to pieces of my stuff.
And except that isn't this pretty much what Freenet already does is?
Are we supposed to take seriously what a "security group" says when they post a video in Quicktime? A closed format that is obnoxious to the point of being borderline malware, not to mention closed source? Why not a nice Xvid file, seriously? It would almost certainly be smaller to boot.
Would this be the same Inquirer who (incorrectly) reported that Nvidia was pull out of the chipset business? Yes, yes it is (http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/08/02/nvidia-chipsets-dead).
' No civilized society, he adds, can endure 'purely voluntary payment for art, knowledge, and culture.'
Really. Because I'm pretty sure that almost every society on the planet Earth has had art, knowledge, and culture work that was for several millenium, if not longer. I'm reasonably sure nobody paid the guys who made cave paintings. Art, knowledge, and culture - the REAL stuff, as opposed to, say, Brittany Spears and the line, are produced by volunteers in their spare time. They do it because they have a burning passion to do so, and financial considerations tend to be secondary, if not tertiary.
I can tell you that the ending of, say, Chrono Trigger, had more immediate bearing on my life than any major news story of the same year, and probably any other year to boot (except, perhaps, 9/11). Why? Because _I_ did it. I was there, I made it be so - in my own little world, that was news. And that news certainly gave me more happiness than any news story of the same era.
Anyone can go back and play Chrono Trigger through the magic of emulators, and have almost the exact same experience I did. But, and this is a major weakness of MMO games in general, you cannot say the same of, say, Ultima Online. I wasn't there, for example, the day Lord British was assasinated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_british#Assassination_of_Lord_British), and epic though it may have been to any witnesses, it was one-time and fleeting, never to be seen again.
So, this project is an attempt to help prevent all these moments from being lost, like tears in the rain. Time to die.
I have a ton of old computer parts as well. Basically, enough old stuff to make 5-6 computers with (old and slow computers, but functional). But I'm moving at the end of the month and don't really want to get involved with moving this stuff. So one day, I'm walking in a part of the neighborhood I'm not usually walking in, and I found a sign for a summer computer day-camp. AH! I haven't called yet, but I'm pretty confident they could make good use of my old computer parts.
1) From TFA: "'With one rain shower everything is washed clean,' the institution said in a statement." Ah, but exactly WHAT is washed to WHERE, eh? Are we just trading off air pollution for water pollution?
2) How durable is this new substance? How much pollution can the road suck up before it wears out? Will it need to be resurfaced and/or replaced every year? Two years?
So these women are complaining that they lost employment because somebody named "HitlerHitlerHitler" said they had herpes?
1) Who the hell are these employers, and does ANYONE work for them? Would anyone want to? 2) I wouldn't hire these women on the basis that they are throwing hissy-fits over meaningless posts on the interwebs. If they're gonna sue over that, they'll sue over any and every little IRL slight, real or imagined.
From TFA: "It's the porn that's putting nails in Usenet's coffin."
That would seem to fly in the face of everything I know about both human nature and the internet.
For me, the reasons my (once extensive) Usenet usage dropped off was 1) insane amounts of spam, and 2) ease of use of torrents (at least with regards to binaries).
You can achieve the same effect by inverting a lateral undefined cloud. If we use the inertial containment nacelle to align it with the primary undefined coil, then by modifying this cargo flux bay, we can make it work in conjunction with the acute plasma procedure. I believe that this will increase the efficiency of the primary deflector undefined by 16 percent. Thus reducing the load on the optical isolinear plate.
Hey, makes about as much sense as the article's existing intro blurb.

I stand corrected, but I very much doubt that this game was written for use only on a 1571 drive - the majority of Commodore owners had a 1541.
The C64's 5.25 drives (1541, 1571) didn't use MFM - they used GCR. Only their 3.5 drives (1581) used MFM.

As usual, any truths about Wikipedia's numerous failures are being repressed.
In Soviet Russia, correlation causes YOU!
I hear the judge has ordered that she be imprisoned inside a giant NeXTcube.
Your "comment" was highly "insightful," "khasim." "Thank" you for "sharing" your "thoughts" with "us."

I'll stick with a nice RAID5, thanks.

That's nice.
Meanwhile, as of last week, we STILL cannot buy FIOS in Philadelphia. No matter how much I want to give Verizon my money, they just won't take it.
Would those "'certain circumstances" be "over 50% non-republican votes?"
I saw the headline and thought I was seeing some 1337 form of "cox."
huhuhuuhuhuh he said "form."
I turned 33 last month, if that helps your estimates any.

Thanks for making Idle official and full-time!
Because now I can adjust my preferences so that I never see this unfunny garbage again. If I want "teh funnay," I'll visit 4chan, k thx.
The more you tighten your grip, LucasArts, the more reviewers will slip through your fingers.
