A: Nothing. Save money and get a B type later, these cards are not good value. Alternatively, try the used market for a cheap Geforce 8800GT or Radeon HD4850, which will serve you pretty well.
I don't think so. Some reform is in order, but the basis of the laws is to encourage creativity, to enhance society and culture by creating an environment where artists are justly rewarded.
The world has changed. I don't think such an environment can exist in the modern day without legal support. I don't want artists to be dependent on patronage with no other options. It's better our way.
The 'War on Drugs' is different. The error is in the principle, and no matter how well implemented it is, it will be a detriment to society.
Religion I will skip commenting on to avoid a flamewar.;)
Well you have more reason to believe in their investigative ability. Google deals primarily in information, with a combination of accurate search tools and advertisement targeting being some of their main sources of income.
Opportunity landed on the other side of the planet. Although I don't know where it is right now, it's unlikely to be close given the fairly low speed of the rovers and the scientific value of maximising the survey area.
Also, I'm surprised Slashdot didn't go with Opportunities Dwindling For Mars Spirit Rover.
I agree that they should take it to the EU, not that I usually support the EU's special brand of crazy that gives them liscence to print money from other peoples accounts (Intel, Microsoft) but it would be fantastic to finally see Apple being held to the same standard as everyone else.
Fining companies for harming the market and consumers is the exact opposite of 'crazy'. Such fines have long-term benefits for everybody big and small alike.
Price fixing, collusion, anti-competitive practises. They are bad. They hurt companies. They hurt consumers in both choice and price.
And if you're alluding to the notion that the EU only fines non EU-based companies: the meme is false. Dozens of other EU companies have been fined on precisely the same grounds. You never heard of it because as far as the US media is concerned, things that don't affect the USA don't exist. That goes for Slashdot too.
720x480 is a really low resolution. It doesn't matter what marketing people call it, it's still pixelated and blurry.
I'm using the best output right now and it doesn't look much better than the standard one. There's no interlace-induced flickering - that's about it.
There's a Wii/GC emulator called Dolphin that can render Wii games at any res you like. It looks excellent, way better than the real thing.
Despite the poor resolution they were designed for, Wii games generally have sufficiently high model complexity and texture quality to look quite good in high resolutions. It's a shame it can't be taken advantage of.
And BTW, thanks for calling my reply "stupid bullshit", it really illustrate just how much you hate it when people attack the arguer and how much you value opposing viewpoints. Just saying.
There's a difference between attacking the arguer alongside the argument and attacking only the arguer. You were doing the latter: the post was an ad hominem.
I gave my reasons criticising your position, and then in addition slung some dung at the class of argument you used. I didn't even mention you.
I only hate it when the arguer is exclusively criticised because it's a fallacy and I'm sick of hearing the same shit from grade school to government. But I haven't made that error here, and even if I had, my hypocrisy wouldn't make my arguing against it invalid. It would just make me annoying.
He's talking about how their culture and government are doing in this era. Age hasn't got anything to do with it. Neither has his culture got anything to do with the accuracy of his evaluation.
I don't really agree with him and I'm interested in hearing opposing viewpoints. But I'm not interested in hearing stupid bullshit that attacks the arguer and ignores the argument. Just saying.
Slashdot Mirror
My toilet runs GNU/Turd, you insensitive clod!
My bank's password requirement:

Needless to say, I don't use their online services.
I'm pretty sure the newer graphics cards already do audio over HDMI. It's not that far fetched.
I'd rather not have everything be dependent on the GPU though. On the other hand, Nvidia would like nothing more.
I for one am very glad to be getting rid of HDMI/DVI/VGA cables and have just one cable to rule them all!
The surest solution to this problem: yet another cable!
A: Nothing. Save money and get a B type later, these cards are not good value. Alternatively, try the used market for a cheap Geforce 8800GT or Radeon HD4850, which will serve you pretty well.
B: Radeon HD4870. Great card, extremely good value.
C: Radeon HD5850 kicks ass. Diminishing value for money here though.
Neither hypocrisy or self-righteousness have anything to do with being right or wrong.
What is your point? That you don't like his tone?
Democracy is about breathing in the necks of the politicians EVERY SINGLE DAY, cause the day you don't do it, things like these happen.
So that's why democracy doesn't work. Who would perform CPR on a politician every day? :)

...because it is Gmail. Right?
How horrible are your employees at their jobs when they require the assistance of their victims to fix the problem?
[Every IT worker on Slashdot looks around nervously]
According to Wikipedia, it was used with some of AMD's 1000 and 2000 series GPUs.
Really? I didn't even know it was CGI until that guy pointed it out.
The special effects in the movie were pretty incredible. The movie has many problems but looking fake isn't one.
They're now on day 2,200 or thereabouts. Now that's engineering. Even if they fail now, the rovers have been an incredible success.
Some beautiful pictures too:

Punalicious.
Pretty sure he addressed your analogy in the final paragraph. Valid in dealing with people. Not valid in dealing with countries.

Metroid Prime Trilogy. Three brilliant games for the price of one. I bought the console for it and regret nothing.

I'm suffering massive losses too - nobody gave a billion dollars yesterday! That's a billion dollar loss in a single day!
It's relativistic failure dilation.

What the hell are you talking about? I have a mug of coffee in front of me.
Well I didn't. Thus you must suffer my early-morning navel-gazing. :)
In fact, I agree with you. The practical implications are obviously way different for both.
It's not terrorism, but espionage.
