Actually, yes, at least a little. Even if the manufacturers make their own boards they have to use the drivers for the various chipsets manufactured by someone else. That might even explain why Via was first out the door with the EeePC: they have competent driver programmers so they were able to pull together the talent for something special even if it didn't use their chips.
That's what Planetside did right. You had a war going on between the players so combat for territory generated it's own objectives. Persistence could be total.
I'm a little short on perspective myself. I've only played City of Heroes and they let you make characters on any server. Sure you don't get to concentrate on building one uberchar that way, but at least you can have someone on any server your friends play on.
Logically the boxes should not be just hangin out on the curb. The real place to put them would be the underused corner of someone's back yard. That or behind the nearest fence, or any number of places. Maximizing line of sight to the double-the normal-size eyesore should not be a requirement. That said, the neighborhood sorta brought it on themselves by having so many front lawns. They don't serve much purpose other than demonstration of conspicuous consumption.
Actually in all seriousness that works very well. Me and my friends did it all the time in high school. Sure the scale was smaller, but we actually knew the people we were fragging.
Most other American protesters don't go around in the wee hours of the morning with big honking high-powered lasers that can put words on a building from the other side of a river. Seriously if the pics of the New York demo are any indication it would have looked like he was laser-designating a target for attack.
The moment my cable company starts adding ads to my traffic I'll start looking to switch to DSL. Not everybody has competition but given just how bad these guys are about buildouts those who do are still a decent enough chunk of the market that the ISP will take notice.
In the end aren't we just going through a crapload of trouble to not just route heierarchical domain names? I mean it's not like we USE ip addy's if we can configure things so that we can reliably avoid it. They're just the skeleton upon which we stretch whatever naming system we're using like DNS or SMB.
The anecdotal rate at which I was finding Kazaa (and thereby spyware) on customer computers a few years ago indicates there was a better than 50% chance that a home computer with a broadband connection was being used to get copyrighted media via P2P.
Another problem I've been noticing with Blue-ray is that it can really show off the flaws in footage. It's especially jarring the way effects footage in the same scene as film shows higher resolution and a lack of realistic noise and motion blur. To be honest I don't even want to watch BR for another 5 years or so until they figure out how to make the CG shots not look like Quake!
IT surplus. You just say they upgraded and you knew a guy who let you get it used for a song. You thought the sticker was so nifty you never took it off.
That, and experience has made it more than apparent to me that the Free Software community has neither the time nor inclination to code software that does all of what I want. Until that changes somehow commercial software is just a fact of life and must be dealt with.
Isn't electrolysis already something like 70% efficient? What is TFS talking about requiring 10% of the electricity. You do NOT get 700% efficient electrolysis. Now getting efficiency that much closer to 100% is cool, but it's not even a single order of magnitude difference so I don't see this making things possible which weren't possible before.
We're at least already starting another recession. Retail stores have already cut hours past critical mass and are in the downward spiral of loosing what little profit they have left to exponential shrink. The underemployed at the lower end of the economy are buying less, the food prices are skyrocketing, and no-one's giving enogh raises to keep up with real inflation if they give raises at all. I've lost count of the number of little ways my employers have found to pay me less in the last year. The entirety of retail of business is doing it's moronic best to drop off the end of the economy and when it goes down it's going to start taking other industries with it.
Then we should all get our money back for our domains. Alright so it's impinging on an exclusive right purchased to all domains under a particular domain. Since it's not permanent it's joyriding with a domain name at best, and in most of the US I think that's equivalent to stealing. Or it could be some charge of impersonation. There are just so many ways to make a lawsuit out of this it's not funny.

Ctrl-c with text selected seems to do the trick for windows with me.
As far as I can tell her face isn't facing the same direction as the rest of her head.

That's how terrorism is supposed to work, duh.

DOS version in DOSbox works just fine.

How the heck would they get "Variable conductance sensor" ? Pot's in game controllers are certainly older than 10 years.

Actually I think L'Hopital's make the fraction equal to 1. As in 100% of venusians are idiots, until someone actually lives there and breaks the 0/0.
Some of that may be that taxes on gas are per-gallon rather than per-dollar. A straight sales tax would compensate for decreased use.
For LA city schools uneven would be a complement!
We'll call it the Newer Deal.
