Superman has un-human like powers. Batman is an anti-social billionaire who just likes to hang out in the dark all the time. Unless good ol bruce has a monopoly on the local gotham Cryptonite plant, I think hands down the "man of steel" himself will wax batman no problem.
One question does come to mind, since they both always "fought evil", which one is going to turn to make this possible.
Even more fun would be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. Power Rangers, or Pokemon vs. Dragon Ball Z. Why does everything have to be a boxing match, I want to see an all out brawl!
Take a regular PC and load up an emulator on it while still using the old case. This isn't a hardware hack, it's a case mod if anything. Anyone else interested in a really fast C64??
Frodo is a crossplatform C64 emulator for windows, macos, beos, riscos, and many more. Take the system you have now and use it as a C64, or emulate a million other systems as well.
I'm really sorry, but this is yet another case of shoddy journalism and actual fact checking before publishing. I know slashdot is far from a "professional" grade news source, but I would like to think that there is at least a small bit of integrity in there somewhere. Speaking of integrity, whatch this get modded down, -1 Troll, -1 Offtopic, -1 Redundant, -1 Overrated, -1 too many mod points for editors.
That aside, Liquid Nitrogen might be a bit of overkill here. When properly coated, I'm sure the parts are safe from the damaging effecets of melting, but everyone needs to remember one thing, heat is the enemy, it's obvious that it would take quite a bit to get too cold.
Obviously there isn't a future in Liquid Nitrogen cooled computers, but take the idea back from the "weird science" to the new liquid/radiator idea. I do believe silent machines running cooler with liquid cooling, will become a new trend.
Lastly, why does everyone brag about their 3DMark scores? If you suck at gaming the extra pixels sure ain't gunna help ya.
I do believe that it is well within someone's right to not have their picture taken if they don't wish it to be. Or at least have a warning on the entrance of an establishment that you are being videotaped. I think the law that says you don't have to inform someone that you're videotaping them, but that you do for audio is bogus. The law needs to be changed, it's an invasion of privacy no matter how you want to look at it, if someone doesn't want to be videotaped, then they shouldn't be videotaped, there is no grey area. You should be informed before proceeding that you are under video survailence.
Well boy that was a fun disclaimer. So let me get this straight. He's going to prison, where he gets to use a computer? HUH? Anyone else sensing the irony here? The main tool of his convicted crime and he has one to use at his leisure? What's next firing ranges?
Aside from that, warez is basically the underground of the net we know is there, but deny it's existance in the media. The underworld in the media's eyes are genuis hackers who mastermind complex systems and takeover websites. You rarely ever hear of the massive amount of child pornography, illegal software, or other things that make sleeping a little harder.
These people should use their talents for a greater good.
I just was just about to go try this out, then I relized this doesn't work on my 15 year old minivan out back. For the price of this car, why don't you just go out and buy a real muscle car, with enough time you could probably write your name in the parking lot. Peeling out is cool, all you have to do is bald your tires!!
Right, but you would think in the entire CS major area, there might be one or two of them who actually know how to maintain a network. I'm just tired of always seeing colleges who are more business oriented than learning oriented. I definantelly think they should be accountable to who pays their salaries, I know I'd be up in arms about the whole thing. Guess it's good that the only thing I need to worry about is packet shaping here at my campus.
Why is it that campus networks, where HIGHER education is supposed to be happening, that the networks are ran by complete half-wits. Doesn't anyone in a CS class know how to setup and maintain a network even a little better. And more importantly, aren't there student governments/councils that shoud be deciding these matters, not administrators. I still can't believe they're placing a ban on win2k, that's insane, and how the hell do they plan on checking the OS Ver anyways?
Look mr. authority on everything that is multimedia. A double sided CD-R is very possible. The media side is not the data side of the cd. The Media side is where the label or tag of the CD goes, the data side is where the information is held, and reflected off of the media side. I hope to metamod your ass some day. In closing, if there's a double sided DVD then it's more than possible to have a double sided CD-R. Ass.
We are asking them to give the GNU Project credit for the GNU operating system.
FINE! I hereby give GNU credit on their operating system GNU/HURD. This argument is so moot, I can use gnu tools on Windows with cygwin, and on bsd with the linux compatability layer, does this mean that I use GNU/Windows and GNU/BSDOS?
FSF Needs to properly remove their heads from their asses, focuse a little less on politics and start a little more focus on the actual programs. Let's face it, all the infighting of the FREE/OPEN software is what keeps companies like MS happy.
MS-Guy-1:Ohhh no, the linux community is starting to gain more of the market share!
MS-Guy-2It's okay, just send an anonymous email to stallman mentioning that people are still calling it linux and not GNU/Linux, that oughta throw um off for a few months. And while you're at it, write an review of both KDE and Gnome, just make sure they're exactly the same but change the names around respectively. Finally make mention of Vi is better than Emacs.
... This time when setting up the soundstage, add a little color, hell maybe even have them pixar guys whip up a couple of "aliens"... because we all know that going to the moon and aliens are part of a governmental conspiracy... And that the moon is just part of a "Death Star" with a giant "Laser"... next you'll tell me there's plans to go to mars, I would argue that mars doesn't even exist!
This doesn't seem like the best of ideas. I mean dropping something so heavy from such a height isn't exactly rocket science. I realize it's out in the desert, but that doesn't neccessarily mean that someone won't be sitting there on the ground watching a car crash into them.
Anyone else think that dropping a bus with 40 people is just asking for trouble?? Unless they're looking to rip the roof off of it, there's to many what if's to make this even remotely safe. Might just as well make parachutes for the people optional as well.
Is this like the semi-finals season for the darwin awards and I just wasn't looking?
You make mention of the 70's and the time of wonderfulness when only the really technical people knew what a com-poo-ter was. Well you make mention of these wonderful times on a forum on slashdot, where the hell do you think you'd be able to post if it wasn't for every Tom Dick and Harry out there buying a computer.
Now as far as personal computing goes, why the hell should YOU care what I do with my computer? If I'm making illegal copies of movies or anything else, that's my business (and that of the authorities who arrest me...) not yours. You can stay in your little happy utopic world where everyone bows to you because you have a fancy calculator.
Personal computing has brought prices down and great advancemence in software and hardware. I am completely impressed with the entire way that the computing industry has turned out in the past 20 years and look forward to the next 20. As far as hardware based DRM, why would this be a benifit. It would be like buying a piece of hardware that is purposefully disabled... Ex, you go to the store and buy a NEW gun. This gun has the ability to be loaded, but will not actually fire a bullet, instead it just makes a loud bang. Now this is because of course of the large amount of violent crimes being done with guns today and is just for the safety of everyone around us. Would it fly? Hell no... because people buy guns to do with what they want and most gun owners don't like people telling them what to do, hence the whole them having a gun factor.
Anyways, if you liked the 70's so much, TOUGH it's over and times are constantly changing, get over it.
Personally I don't see a need to switch to 2.0 yet. My site runs just fine on 1.x series. I know there are improvements and benifits to switching, but the work required to switch doesn't seem neccessary to me right now. I think the more new servers that pop up will start with the 2.x series of apache, but I'm quite sure there are sites similiar to mine that are doing just fine with the 1.x series servers.
My main question is, what would it matter if sites weren't using apache 2.0, isn't it enough that open source software is being used??
Okay after taking a look at the latest gnome beta's, it doesn't get to play with the big kids for right now. I find it absolutely amazing to see where the GUI has come in the last 5 years. Does anyone else remember when a 3D button or smooth corner window was something that was only seen in science fiction movies?
Which one is the best? I wouldn't know I use all 3 and I really like all of them, well I like Mac OSX and KDE3 a little better because they're a tad more customizeable, but with a little tweak XP and other tools it's all a matter of time before you feel at home with your box.
The one thing that they are all missing is one very simple thing. Not everyone runs at 1200x1600 resolution. None of these new GUI's look good in 800x600. When the menu bar takes up 10% - 20% of your window then you really have problems. Win98 and MacOS 9 took low resolution into account and put less crap on the screen. I definantelly think that enlightenment and blackbox have the right idea about how to appeal to the entire market.
But how does Linux and MacOSX make it possible for me to have my enlightenment or blackbox directly on top of the core OS? Simple they use standard tools and binary compatability, Linux and BSD. Windows however just plain sucks at anything less that 1024x768, but also windows XP's minimum requirements are a Geforce2 and like 512 megs of ram too, so windows assumes you also went out and barfed out another $300 for a monitor.
I prefer Linux, but I don't mind Mac OSX and I get by using windows XP. All-in-all they are all starting to share a common theme. "Be appealing to the eye and place the common tasks within easy reach, with as little fluff as possible."
Well I'm using a GeForce4 2GO right now on my Satellite 5005, and well it seems to perform just like your average geforce 3 mx. While I'm used to an ATI rage mobility, the drive support for both windows and linux sucks. ATI is known for making really nice cards, but doing really shitty with driver support. nVidia makes chips and when the manufacturer of the card dies out, that's okay nVidia will jump in and give you their drivers. I have YET to see that from ATI. While I think competition is a wonderful thing, after getting a TNT a long while ago and watching the performance of this toshiba laptop (don't get me wrong even though it doesn't benchmark like a Geforce 4 TI, it still holds its own), I think that it will take quite a bit to take me away from nVidia.
Well think about how pissed the martians must be. We keep crashing things into their planet and the things never seem to work right, except for that rover thingie that left tiremarks on everything... sheesh.
Okay well anyone who's not familiar with what the voyager project is, or you just want a quick nostalgic recap.
Here is a RM stream that has a nice little highschool science class feel to it, but is still very informative.
But I don't get why we keep in contact with the Voyager satellites, everyone knows we'll just lose contact anyways... (Ref: Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
Don't get me wrong here, but after reading comments on the whole article I have come to a simple conclusion. NOT EVERYONE IS SUPPOSED TO WORK IN THE TECH INDUSTRY.
I'm not saying what you're doing isn't important for society, but I think what is really getting my goat on this entire thing is that people think that they are better than the jobs they hold. Obviously you see that what you're doing is good for both you and for those you help at your job, but someone telling me that they'd like a more simplier life in the food industry??
I'd like a tech person to do three jobs with three different bosses for a week. Where getting $6.00/hr is "good" pay... and an average work week is 60 hours and that is working 60 hours, not sitting on your ass in front of a computer. It's a lifestyle like that which made me decide that I wanted to be in the tech industry. There's no such thing as conferences and meetings in the food industry, if you get one of them... you've either messed up really bad or done something really good.
1.) Write a check to yourself...
2.) Deposit the check...
3.) Repeat until rich...
HUH?? Since when can you just give yourself money??? or since when can a company buy itself??? And this is actually holding up in court?
Basically I'm seeing what I would like to NOT call a trend. Where company execs are becoming increasingly more and more greedy, to the point that the economony is taking a huge hit right now. Wouldn't it be ironic if something like this was happening at Microsoft??

Computer Science students rejoiced as they would now be learning real computer languages!!
