That's why I love my Nokia 6822 and will never go back to any non-qwerty keyboard phone.
Without any effort I could outtype the Morse code in that vid. (Though I knew the text, but then again, I don't type much. Just under 50 texts a day on average.)
Copyright infringement is the violation of any exclusive right held by the copyright owner. Infringement may be intentional or unintentional. Often called "innocent infringement," unintentional infringement occurs when an author creates an ostensibly new work that later proves to be a mere reproduction of an existing work, though the author was unaware of the identity between the two at the time the copy was made. For example, former Beatle musician George Harrison was guilty of innocent infringement when he released the song "My Sweet Lord," which a court found was the same song as the Chiffons' "He's So Fine," only with different words. The court said that Harrison had "subconsciously" borrowed the Chiffons' unique motif.
Non-trivial amount of work? If they already have a demo of the game ready (and they bloody should. no demos IMO result in more people pirating the game to 'try it out') I doubt a big effort is needed to make a floating-camera benchmark and some scripted effects.
Better yet. If company X didn't have the money and wanted to get better results, they'd have to *gasp* optimise their drivers. Thus a win-win situation for gamers because the game would probably run faster as well.
What I don't get is why game developers don't release freeware benchmark versions of their engines.
Saying that a config has 9000 points is pretty much useless. Saying that it gets an average of 40FPS in the UT3 benchmark at high details, and 1680x1050 is much more informative.
Unfortunately, this also is a little bit more complicated, and as we know everything simpler is more popular with the dumb masses.
What I'd love to see is when lawsuits like these start getting more and more common, and finally someone will try to sue a stupid 13-year-old forum troll. What would they do then? Writing "I'll rape your ass." and actually meaning to do so, can be quite apart.
Not that long ago google and sourceforge were down for a moment because of some ISP problems IIRC. I thought my internet was down or something because I couldn't get to slashdot, nor google.
A typical processor and monitor contain five to eight pounds of lead and heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury and arsenic.
Considering that a typical LCD monitor weights less than ten pounds (no idea actually, but they're light) I find it hard to believe that they'd be made almost fully out of lead. And a processor? Unless you're speaking of something other than a CPU, mine doesn't get anywhere near those weights.
Someone just move the arrow a little as if it hits through the head and say "I still don't get it. My head hurts...". I tried my best to post it but the filter won't let me:(
At least you can download during night without the caps kicking in. My ISP (only one available where I live) dropped download caps just last year and I'd never want to go back. Not only are the prices steep, but the caps were insane. 5GB for 512kbps, 10GB for 1mbps and 20GB for 2mbps. The prices are around $29, $45 and $60 accordingly.
It's all cool when the caps are reasonable, but I have a feeling they would end up with a 50GB cap on a 10mbps connection and require you to pay $1 for each GB over the cap. Or worse. After exceeding your limit, you'll be stuck with 4KB/s for the rest of the month.
And how would you explain that Prey was somewhat successful?
Yes, DNF is a running joke of sorts, so more people know about it, but I doubt many younger players will care if it was in development for twelve years.

Bah. When you leave it on the floor you'll easily spot it as a hole in the floor.
Why not just use imperial gallons and watch as the MPG skyrockets.

That sounds so dirty.

You forgot that we'd have to get out of our basements for the Scotty-imbued air to reach us.
Technophilia?
But I'm more worried about the fact that I've already seen porn of that.
Just look a few posts up.

To make it even funnier, in Polish "cud" means "miracle".
So all the CUDA and CUDOS are even more funny for us Poles.

I don't know what you're talking about. Just go to your options and set the width to whatever you like.
Mine's 150x20 and I never complain.

In Soviet Russia. Waiting for the right time to strike back!

We should tie a power cable to the probe. That way we'll solve the energy problem for generations to come!
I'd be more afraid of stingrays.
You are aware that more people die due to falling from their own stairs than are killed by sharks?

The comic strip is quite funny.
