The problem is the reduction of greenhouse gasses, cooling down Mars.
I'd want to knock a few heavy rocks down on Mars first. After that, I'd want something to grow there that would pull oxygen (and nitrogen, is there much of that?) out of the soil to thicken the atmosphere, so lowering the greenhouse gases won't be so harmful.
When you have 10x more spam than relevant material in a topic, it's easy to miss the relevant material.
That, and some spam subjects are just painfully horrible, and nobody should be subjected to the horror of even glancing at them.
Then again, when I saw one suggesting I could own my own Bionic Turtle (I kid you not), spam did rise *a little bit* in my opinion. I still deleted it, but I loved that title.
The feedback is critical. The problem is, a force feedback on the joystick would probably make a bigger difference than on a wheel, since smaller movements would make larger turns. In that vein, it seems a wheel would give more fine-grained control. You may not be able to change the turn angle as fast, but you would probably be able to be more precise, which in most cases, I think is more important.
Admittedly, my three samples are not huge, but my nForce2 board and my nForce4, and one of their server chipsets (still in the 4 series), had very high stability. The exception was that the nForce2 board did need a third party SATA controller (I can't blame nVidia for that one, the manufacturer of the board didn't use the nVidia controller).
BA? None of them have Master's or PhDs? It's all arts, no sciences degrees? None are left with only high school diplomas or GEDs? None are high school dropouts?
Next you'll say they all got degrees in the same subject!
He said he wanted portable. Admittedly you have to recompile for each OS, but that's better than Java's solution (write their own goofy SSL implementation, though it's available on all platforms as OpenSSL, use the platform's Regex library, though it is not consistent in all platforms).

Any pretty much every manufacturer has had screwups. That being said, nVidia has made some nice performance chipsets in the past, and it's a shame to see them go. Really, for my experience, and in terms of reliability, they are have been the only company to produce chipsets that could compete with Intel.
That, and the competence of the developers there has to be some of the worst on the web. Why should the competence of any of their other divisions be any better?
Switching to high-quality memory, PSU & UPS has made my systems unbelievably reliable the last several years. YMMV, but I doubt by much.
I'll second this. Once or twice I skimped on mobo or memory in a pinch, and those have been the only machines of mine to have stability issues post Windows 98. (Even in Windows 98 I could get about 3 weeks of uptime before needing a reboot. It sucked, but it wasn't as bad as some people had to deal with).
Since the article was prefaced as being about attacks on him (and not MS), it seems most logical that he is referring to himself as being the ally, not MS.
Personally, I can see how de Icaza may be a shill, and he may not be, but even a shill can build a bridge. Microsoft is a big enough organization that the left hand can have some confusion as to what the right is doing, and there could be a lot of honest intent in the MS Open Source group. It's not foolish to think people or groups can change, to think that they can learn from their mistakes, or to think that a large corporation can have a bit of inconsistency due to management issues.
Blinding disregarding those possibilities is just as foolish as blindly thinking they aren't possibilities but actual simple truths.
Actually, I think he was saying that they would be more likely to snail-mail ship you the CD for free, rather than allow you to download it for free, because snail-mail shipping is cheaper than the requisite bandwidth.

Is that why Windows and MacOS infinitely better than Linux and FreeBSD?

It means that whoever wrote it either doesn't know what a word processor is, or is talking out of the wrong orifice.
Expanding on the other reply - physical access with (sorry for the car analogy) the key in the ignition > all.
Basically, they need physical access with the machine ON (and a way to bypass any locking mechanism that is in place)
well, previously they had gone from yum to up2date...
Is John Kerry under that fedora?
I thought redhat was using up2date now?
true on too many levels.
By the way, shouldn't that quote be attributed to 1?

I was referring to targeted shots, not erotic stuff.
You blame the sound, I blame the people.
I think they should see if there is a correlation to the preferred quality, and how much auto-tuned "music" the people listen to.
So, a porn game with targeted shots? That certainly isn't kosher in the D&D ruleset!
Thanks. All I could think of was "instructions per second", and I knew that wasn't what the submitter was talking about.
*shrug*

Probably would work with MinGW. Not sure what this is to be honest, though.

Uise the MinGW compiler (or cygwin) in windows, alternatively LibSDL has a thread library. Also, there is a pthreads implementation in Windows.
That's GPUs, not mobo chipsets.

Mad is an understatement.
This article needs a GODDAMNIT tag...
So true, so true.

Myself, I'd be kinda busy with trying to find some air, and quick. Wtf I was standing on would come in a distant second.

no, but if you get enough bottles, you'll have two liters of the stuff.
And a lot less money.
