I wonder if anyone has thought of using these for graphics or rendering?
These are effectively just NVIDIA GT280 chips with the ports removed. Their heritage is gaming.
I imagine they could make some killer games
If you can find some way to get the video out to a monitor... but then you effectively just have Quad SLI GT280.
especially with advanced technology like Direct 3D
Uh... what? Direct 3D has been commonly used for years, you make it sound like some new and exotic technology. It is also effectively Windows only, whereas this hardware is more likely to use something like Linux.
But we all know that society's stance on "adult content" is ridiculous.
Well, guns aren't prohibited from minors viewing them, and I don't seem to remember anything about gore...
That was exactly kobaz's point. Sex is not illegal but showing pictures of sex to minors is. Shooting someone with a gun is illegal, but showing pics of someone shooting someone else to minors is not.
Or perhaps the energy released is due to potential chemical energy rather than nuclear energy. I was under the impression that the mass changes when nuclei merge or split, not due to the formation of molecules.
The OEM makes the choice as you appear to have suggested. Let the alternatives compete at getting the agreements with the OEM. Claiming that Firefox should be the only one allowed to seek agreements is your opinion, and one I disagree with.
But as far as rooting out IE goes, wouldn't you want the "best browser" to be the one to do it?
Obviously. The part where I disagree is which one is the best. You already know which one you want, so you can choose just fine. Let the other browsers compete at getting chosen by those that haven't decided.
Other posters are right. Chrome should not be dealing with OEMs to root out IE. It should be Firefox.
Apparently you don't quite understand the concept of competition. There isn't always "The Big Guy" and "One Underdog". Why should Firefox be the only one allowed to compete?
Obviously there is more than just one factor that causes the gradual price drops.
You are correct that demand has a significant effect, probably more so than economics, but the fact is that money now actually does differ to money later. You have to take inflation, interest, alternative investment opportunities etc into account.
I wasn't aware these "Linux Live CDs" had a spare copy of user32.dll in the correct version, and many don't have write access to NTFS by default. While it is possible to use them to fix the problem, it is still not what I would consider "painless".
Doesn't make sense, all money made from the game is the same, whether you already paid for dev costs or not.
Not true. You ever heard of things called interest or ROI? Investors don't like to wait forever for their returns as they would just invest elsewhere. The economy is a little more complex than just "Total Spent" and "Total Earned".
Obviously there is more than just one factor that causes the gradual price drops. You see it across a wide variety of industries, not just video games. One of the reasons that video game prices get discussed so much is that they are very popular among young kids who don't have a lot of disposable income to spare.
Of course, this also begs the question: if a game can be sold at profit for less down the line, how the fuck can you justify the high price at release as something other than a money grab?
To cover the initial development investments. Once they are paid off, profits are made and prices drop.
It's time for our favourite car analogy. Car manufacturers don't make a profit when someone sells their car second hand, so why should game developers?
Painlessly? It requires using Windows Recovery Console which necessitates having boot media available. My desktop can't boot off normal XP installation media due to a lack of AHCI drivers so I had to slipstream my own - I haven't figured out how to make a slipstream disk that still allows Recovery Console. My flatmates laptop doesn't have an optical drive and requires netbooting, which in turn requires a Windows Server nearby. If it causes someone like me problems, you can guarantee it will cause many non-technical users a great deal of grief.
I think it might be tied to cookies or something like that. With the plethora of browsers out there, just open one as AC and logged in on another.
That said, what is the point in posting AC and moderating yourself up? You waste a mod point and don't get the karma. If the comment was worthy, it should be modded up by others naturally.
I never said Safari couldn't be supported on 10.1. What I said is that it is possible that WebKit could be supported even if Safari doesn't happen to be.
Don't discount the left-hand/right-hand effect. It is unlikely that the iTunes team would have been able to convince/force the WebKit team into supporting 10.1 simply because iTunes needed it.
I didn't suggest it was likely. I just said that you used flawed logic which could be correct in this case but isn't necessarily true. Besides, WebKit is open source, Apple doesn't necessarily need to convince a team to support 10.1.
Furthermore, iTunes supported Mac OS X 10.1 for a long time afterwards, whereas Safari (and therefore WebKit) always required at least 10.2.
While you might be right, that is flawed logic. Safari depends on WebKit, WebKit does not depend on Safari. WebKit could be supported on 10.1 if it so chose.
The outcome of this may be that we get the source to the voting machines, so we can analyse it for election rigging. Far more useful than running custom Linux builds on Linksys hardware in my opinion.
An unintentional and unknown bug sitting in some code is different to downloading unverified executables from the internet. It will be extremely difficult for an intentionally malicious piece of software to make it into a signed repository.

Maybe not, but we will still get politically-charged comments such as yours.

Indeed.

Chrome should not be dealing with OEMs to root out IE.
It doesn't mean that I think Google Chrome should be banned from going near an OEM for negotiations
It certainly sounded like you were suggesting that Google should be banned from dealing with the OEMs to supplant IE.
The OEM makes the choice as you appear to have suggested. Let the alternatives compete at getting the agreements with the OEM. Claiming that Firefox should be the only one allowed to seek agreements is your opinion, and one I disagree with.

That's not a very good analogy.
Car analogies rarely are.

The CSS converts the "r" in Virus to an "s" as well as truncating the end of the sentence? That is some poor CSS.

I drive quite frequently and I am not a complete idiot. That said, I have never been in a snowstorm. Not everyone lives in the same climate.
Basically, women are such shallow bitches that they will only suck your dick if they have received or will receive some compensation in return
But you will happily suck dick for no reason whatsoever? Bravo, brave Sir, bravo.

Since Slashcode has stuff built into it to prevent firstpost
Really? It doesn't seem to work at all. We get the trolling first posts all the time.
Sadly, the only way to prevent any "first posts" is to disable all posts.
