Obviously you aren't a historian. They'd give a shit of positively ass-splitting proportions. 'Daily life' data that you and I would regard as useless and boring would be a very useful insight to them.
As well, to say that humans "designed" the evolutionary traits of various breeds of dogs is a bit of a stretch.
Yeah, but if he stated it in a non-misleading way he wouldn't get modded up. It's a typical karma whore post: an obvious fact stated in such a way that it alludes to a 'controversial' topic. (In this case, using equivocation.)
Yeah, it's cheap enough that it's worth the money just to try it for a year. You only need to sell nine copies before bringing in a profit! It's practically too good to be true (probably is).
Most of the artists I listen to give their music away for free, but I'd pay for a physical album with a cool cover for sure.
Only a few people actually use adblock plugins, mostly the technically minded. Slashdot probably has the highest concentration of adblock users on the entire Internet and it's still standing.
I just timed my NC10 coming out of hibernation, it took nine seconds to reach the desktop from the moment I hit the power button. Much faster than booting normally. It has 2GB of RAM installed, it has a 5400RPM HDD and it's been on for days, so I'm not cheating or anything.
One major thing I disliked about it was that the terminators got pussified. Trapping one behind a car? They can LIFT cars. A T-800 is shot to death with standard weapons and finished off with a pistol round to the head. They're supposed to be so tough that a high explosive is cutting it close, they're walking tanks from the future...
Glass? I've got a few at home and they're all lightweight metal. Granted they're from pretty old HDDs. But wouldn't glass be too fragile, since platters are only a couple of millimetres thick?
That would be stupid. The computer isn't being tested, they're only interested in the GPU. The point of the high end components is to eliminate any other bottleneck except the GPU so that their performance results are directly comparable. Otherwise the comparisons would be unfair or misleading.
Yes. All review sites are like that, completely unable to comprehend money in any realistic sense. They're little more than hype machines with only a few exceptions.
In my mind the GPU lineup goes something like this:
<80: Low end
80-150: Mid range
150-220: High end
>220: Crazy
If you're on such a tight budget that 80 is too much, there's no point in getting a graphics card. Just get a motherboard with an integrated GPU from AMD or Nvidia. They can still do HD decoding and all that good stuff.
For most people, a 9600GT or HD4770 is absolutely fine. They're 80 and 100 dollars respectively and will do a good job at most games at 1440x900. If you want to run everything at max settings, get a HD4850 for 130.
If you have a large monitor (1920x1200 or more) and still want high settings at native resolution, get a HD4870 1GB or GTX 260 Core 216 for 190.
That's as high as it goes before you start losing value for money. Unless you're doing something weird there's no need to spend any more than 200, so just forget about the crazy range if you have any sense.
It isn't. In theft something of value is lost and gain is prevented. In copyright infringement nothing is lost and gain is not prevented. The music pirates also happen to be regular customers that buy a lot of music, so it barely matters that it happens.
Me too. It's crap anyway, so I turned it off and set FF to download PDFs to a folder instead.
It's a good thing I got sick of it hanging actually, the whole PDF exploit thing came up a little after that. I still get randomly named PDFs downloading themselves sometimes, presumably they're exploit-loaded. Lately it occoured to me that, because Adobe includes a shell extension to render a preview image, simply selecting the file in Windows may be enough to trigger an exploit. Thoughts?
Slashdot Mirror
It's a cool feature, yes. It's been in 'oekaki' drawing programs for years, and that homebrew drawing program 'Colours' for the DS has it too I think.
Not in the alternate ending. Much better!

DNF has a terrible power.
Always bet on Duke!

If if if. It'll never happen, your point is moot.

worthwhile content [...] Digg
Ha ha ha ha ha ha no.
Is a painful demonstration of how not to write. Ugh.
I've never had any of those problems...

I haven't got any problems with it using XP on my NC10. W7 is still in RC status, so I suppose problems are to be expected there.
I'd prefer to keep the full fledged OS, netbooks are suprisingly capable and I like the flexibility Ubuntu or Windows can offer.

Use hibernation. It only takes a few seconds to boot that way.
Um, Apple didn't create HDD MP3 players.
Large Hadron Collider mishap and Star Trek: Voyager
Great idea. Behold, the Omega Particle Collider!

Radeon HD4770, Geforce 9800GT or 9600GT.
They should be available at or below 100 dollars and will play pretty much any game nicely.
That would be stupid. The computer isn't being tested, they're only interested in the GPU. The point of the high end components is to eliminate any other bottleneck except the GPU so that their performance results are directly comparable. Otherwise the comparisons would be unfair or misleading.
$250 a *BUDGET* card? Are they INSANE?

I think it was more like: "EMPLOYING A QA GUY COSTS HOW MUCH?!"
Because they obviously didn't test it. Not even once!
No, since the game is set before the movie takes place it makes sense.
Unfortunately the game is shit. Also extremely short at 4.5 hours long.
It isn't. In theft something of value is lost and gain is prevented. In copyright infringement nothing is lost and gain is not prevented. The music pirates also happen to be regular customers that buy a lot of music, so it barely matters that it happens.
There's more to the term than referencing crap TV shows.
Presumably he meant in the 1984 sense, where 'Big Brother' is all about total control. Surveillance is merely one of the methods used to attain it.
Yeah, but they take orders from people with the intellect of a particularly ripe banana.

Why should they have to maintain multiple interfaces for decades?
Uh... Because it's what their customers want? God forbid the very thought...
