I don't mind if someone sends me spam with free pictures of big titties included. I hate it when they try to sell me viagra or some "All Natural Penis Enlargement" crap.
I like my dick the way it is, and it works just fine. I have no complaint about free titty porn.
Again, what about *non-game* 3D Modeling? Thats more likely to be OpenGL than Direct3D. I'm not aware of any Direct3D chem or physics visualization software.
Have you ever tried to run an OpenGL program under emulation in a Mac?
When discussing Jobs's Apple, it's all about image and the ability to rally the troops. Many Mac users are savvy programmers, but in my experience most are not. Those rank and file users will hoop, holler and cheer at this announcement. It's a great illustration of Apple's innovation.
Nowadays the Macs are fast enough to handle software PC emulation with decent speed (and have been for a while), so the PC-on-a-PCI-card isn't that neccessary any more:P
Do you realize that people were saying roughly the same thing about black people back when slavery was abound? The lives of black people were obviously not worth as much as white people's lives.
It is YOU who is attempting to devalue the lives of black people.
Not only is your post intellectually dishonest, but it's factually inaccurate. In case you didn't know Irish indentured servants were often treated far worse than the african slaves. Indentured servants had to be let go eventually so there was less value in them. The most dangerous jobs were given to Irish indentured servants because if they were killed in the process, the loss to the plantation master was lower than if an african died.
Sadly, our ethics has not developed much further in that manner, so man still treats other species very poorly.
Uh huh?
Just think about how your meat was treated prior to it being processed into your steak.
Gee, it was given food, water, a pasture to roam, protected from wolves, mountain lions and diseases. Then it was killed relatively quickly before becoming my dinner.
You can't just add an algorithm to a program and make it secure.
It takes WORK to make a secure program. I have given a large chunk of my recent free time to get up to speed on crypto. I have been tearing through RSA Security's Official Guide to Cryptography. Basically it's my bathroom reader. The field of crypto is so complex that I doubt that the average user of WinZip fathoms more than just the basics.
After the first page I thought this was going to be a huge waste of my time, but by the time I got to the 4th page I couldn't stop reading. This was a perfect way to strike back at a scammer.

Good thing it wasn't in another state. Imagine if it was in Idaho or Florida or Pennsylvania. These real soldiers might have gotten real caps popped in their asses.
D) use infrared ranging and embedded cameras to detect and report the license number of anyone speeding on the road;
States rely too much upon the fines for speeding. They have optimized their income with the current system. If speed detection was made 100% reliable, no one would do it and the states wouldn't make any money off of it.
This is a part of the reason why interlock devices aren't placed on all cars at the factory. Everyone hates "drunk driving", but they make so much money off of it that they don't want it to completely stop.
Lastly, no one is advocating eating of the sludge from a digester...
Did you even read that fucking page that you linked to in your first response to me?
Anaerobic digestion typically decreases the volume of manure solids by more than 90 percent. The remaining biosolids are an extremely high quality fertilizer.
The sludge isn't consumed directly, but used to fertilize plants that are later eaten by humans.
You don't know much about methane digesters, do you?
Apparently more than you think.
They get hot - pretty damn hot, hot enough to kill a lot of "bad" things (just like any other form of decomposition, like a garden compost pile).
From the article that you linked
Since methane-producing bacteria are most active in a range of 95 to 105 degrees F, some digesters circulate hot water through pipes to heat the manure and maintain the desired temperature range.
covered-lagoon methane generator, powered by methane billowing off a covered pool of decomposing bovine waste
So let me get this straight. A lagoon full of festering bull shit is "better for the environment" than a nuclear power plant?
Seriously. Even though it's from a natural source, nature never intended for feces to be collected in large pools for the purpose of decomposition. Who knows that kind of mutated E Coli would come from a setup like this.
If it didn't get them all, it would make the rest so freakin scared they'd give up. It's not defeatist, it's real. That's what happens when a soft country, such as the US, is plunged into violence. Most people give up, and resign themselves to their fate.
Like they did in WWII?
Most of the British empire was given back to the countries under peaceful terms. Guns didn't play a part.
Have you ever heard of a little country called THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA????

Make sure you package your submission with LZip, to make it as small as possible.

Show me any non-game related application (rules out benchmarks like AquaMark, which only tests graphics) that uses Direct3D.

95 to 105 degrees F.
Well, let's look at the CDC.
Ground beef should be cooked until a thermometer inserted into several parts of the patty, including the thickest part, reads at least 160 F.
160 degrees F is what the CDC says is necessary to kill E. Coli, 95 - 105 degrees F are where these machines operate.
Forget about "mutated e. coli" - read a little before making posts demonstrating your ignorance.
Good advice, why don't you take it?
