  4. Re:Poor HP on IBM Getting PwC Consulting for $3.5 Billion · · Score: 1

    yes but the central thrust of my point remains the same. HP offered 18.7, IBM got them for 3.5.

  5. Poor HP on IBM Getting PwC Consulting for $3.5 Billion · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Last year HP tried to buy PWC, the deal ended because the price was too high, something like $18 Billion. Now that HP has merged with Compaq and has all of the Compaq nightmares IBM buys PWC for $1.5 Billion.

    I would like a two or three head setup to proporly emulate perifual vission in a fps.

  7. mp3sort on Using CDDB to Fill ID3 Information in Existing MP3s? · · Score: 1

    Go take a look at mp3sort. Other tools in listed here will take mp3's named proporly and add id3 tags. Mp3sort will take mp3s and name them proporly. It does not get all of them. Of ~2000 I fed it, it left 50. But that is better then nothing. It is perl so it should run on most OS's.

  8. Re:Spielberg annoys to the end on Minority Report · · Score: 1

    "If the protagonist can decide to change the outcome it doesn't necessarily follow that it's simply because he knew ahead of time."

    True, however Agatha states he can change the future because he knows what will happen just before Anderson enters the hotel room.

  9. Re:Spielberg annoys to the end on Minority Report · · Score: 1

    Go see the movie one more time. It not only shows him saying those words but it shows him shooting in cold blood. Does he shoot in cold blood? If not what the precogs saw is wrong; right?

  10. Re:Spielberg annoys to the end on Minority Report · · Score: 1

    Did you see the movie? Point one, because he knew his fate he could change it, that does not mean it was not what he would have done. Point two, until he was setup his thoughts were idle thoughts not part of a chain of events leading to murder; i.e. something the precogs could see. Remeber precogs do not see thought crimes, even fakes like the guy in the sensory cambers that wants to kill his boss.

  11. Re:Spielberg annoys to the end on Minority Report · · Score: 1

    "and yet, the protagonist's slaying was not a redball (and had he pulled the trigger purposefully it certainly would have been) nor has it been premeditated."

    No one of the sceens in the movie makes it quite clear he has been thinking about killing the kidnaper of his son for a long time. He has been dreaming of that very day.

    The movie had some minor flaws, but that sceen was dead on.

  12. Re:The Reason Software Sucks: on Slashback: Periodicity, Vacuum, Strength · · Score: 1

    Most of Halflife was based on Q1 with some custom work done on top. The network code was pulled from quake 2.

    If you use a 5250 emulator check out tn5250j (http://tn5250j.sf.net) it has better keybinding support and is written in java so it runs anywhere.

  21. Re:Getting closer on Will Evolution Exchange Microsoft? · · Score: 2, Informative

    When it supports shared calenders then it will be great. Want to know why that feature is important? Well simply because the office manager can enter everyone's schedule into it and then everyone else can look at it to see where they're supposed to be, or if someone is gonna be going on vacation.

    Evolution has two different forms of shared calender support. A p2p option for other evo clients, and through the exchange plugin Exchange's shared calender support.
