web standards? no browser has given me more greif by completely changing the layout of a page which every other common browsr in every common OS displays perfectly fine. Not to mention all the 'made for IE' pages that look like shit in every other browser.
IE is going to have to work damn hard to get rid of that reputation amoungst developers
after all the slating given to china over censorship, it would be interesting to be able to browse from behind such a filter and see how much it would affect the surfing of a typical westoner
if all you want is 720P flash, pretty much anything on the market will do. My wifes laptop with a C2D T2080 @ 1.73GHz manages it fine. when comparing it against other desktop processors of similar performance on here: (http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=Intel+T2080+%40+1.73GHz), and then looking it up on ebuyer.com, suggests that a £40 proccesor is fine for 720p flash.
over 50% of black holes in the western hemisphere are clinically obese. It's though that the high availability and low cost of stars is to blame. Ejection of gas is one of the many unfortunate side-effects.
yes it scanned the computer, but it was looking for programs not illegal files. It was used to make sure that each computer accessing the network had all the 'neccecery' security software installed. While understandable it was somewhat annoying when it required windows updates that didnt work very well through the restictie firewall you were put behind until you passed the security check. It was something you downloaded and ran once per term. It didnt actually require and install and wasnt needed beyond that (might be used more depending on the exact policy of your college).
As some have pointed out, linux/mac is the answer if you really dont want it on your computer. The.exe obviously wont run outside of windows, so anyone running linux/mac was waved through security for the duration with no real checks atall. Infact a few of my friends would dual boot MS/linux and use linux to be waved through the security then revert to MS when they were through
its both. Servers need both speed and storage. And alot of consumers, especially gamers want both. Plenty of people can fill up a hard drive with films, photos, music etc... yet want their applications and system to be resposive. Ive hear more and more of people using an SSD for their system for performance, and keeping a 'traditional' hard drive for mass storage. Having both says to me that they are just waiting for the costs to come down such that performance and storage are available on a single drive again
because you can only afford to EOL a still very popular product when you are near-monopolistic enough to be able to force people to buy the more expensive alternative.
there is a huge difference between nuclear material for civilian use, and weapons grade stuff. Even if some terrorists were able to get a-hold of civilian nuclear material they probably wouldnt be able to make a nuke. Having said that, a dirty bomb requires no expertese atall
Then dont play it. Dont watch the trailors, dont read the reviews. And definatly dont re-play the originals. It's the only way to prevent the nostalgia from being tainted.
1-if the firmware makes your current version of hardware better, you're less likely to buy a PSP V2
2-custom firmware and other software could be used to add free software to the console (either legitimate free, or pirated paid stuff) which could mean they arnt getting royalties from games/etc being sold for the PSP
i have gotten much more enjoyment out of games i have paid for. I spent longer playing them, enjoyed playing them more, got more involved in them etc... when compared to games i have pirated. I put this down (atleast in part) to that having paid for it ill stick with it longer, 'ive paid for it so i better play it...', so i play it a little longer, get through the couple of boring bits and so just enjoy it more. Sure there have been games ive pirated that i got as involved in as ones ive purchased, but as a proportion of the total number of games, its much less.
to provide 1TW for 1 year would require about a cubic meter of water based on the proton proton chain. ~25MeV per 6 hydrogens, means 75000 moles of water at 50% efficieny to produce 1TWyr, 0.018kg/mole means about a 1000kg ballpark. Wiki lists global power consumption at about 15TW, so even if you allow much lower efficay, and energy costs to extract hydrogen from the water etc, its concievable that your local swimming pool could power the world for a couple of years
when you are busy trying to defend against the most advanced crackers around, and whatever complex tools they are using, its probably easy to overlook the simpler stuff
no, because you can simulate the normal faliure rate, and so send 1kB of steganographised data per 1MB of real data (on average). While this isnt a particularly high rate, it means that you can send a few kB of text to your friend when it seems you are just sending some photos of your holiday/party/whatever. A few kB of text sounds like a pretty reasonable amound of information to be sending, especially if compressed first.

we're not sure what we'll do with eight different GPU options
yeah because theres hardly any options in the desktop market...

well, atleast it will be cheaper than SSS's

that'll probably work fine for the lay-man, but will having an encrypted hard drive count as evidence of illegal activity

so... less than 60 watts?
i beleive a change in TOS/contract that changed the ammount you can be billed should typically excuse you from any early termination fees, see point 3 in this article: http://consumerist.com/272305/6-ways-to-cancel-any-cellphone-so-you-can-get-an-iphone
two ways i imagine:
1-if the firmware makes your current version of hardware better, you're less likely to buy a PSP V2
2-custom firmware and other software could be used to add free software to the console (either legitimate free, or pirated paid stuff) which could mean they arnt getting royalties from games/etc being sold for the PSP
it's a much bigger deal if you drop your laptop when you are on the shitter

maybe they were after RIAA sized multiples of damages
but to buy an '09 Hummer in a few years will be much cheaper, the same as your analogy that a card like this will be cheaper in a few years

is it just me that thought it was a shame this ended, it managed to remain funny to the end
3Gb/s = 375MB/s a typical HDD should be easily capable of a third of that. So high end SSD's can probably beat 375MB/s, if not now then soon
