Unreal (Tournament, II, Championship, Tournament 2003/2004, Tournament 3) Gears of War 1 till 3 And before that (DOS era), a buttload of shareware games.
Owning a Wii doesn't say you're using it. I've seen my fair share of Nintendo Wii's gathering dust at friends places, only to be used when there is a party going on.
>Charities involving third-world countries (sorry, "developing nations") may be a particularly grateful bunch, even for old equipment.
Charities involving third-world countries usually results in dumping lots of toxic stuff into places that don't have the resources to clean it up properly. Seriously, they are better off with you hauling that stuff to a recycling center instead of having it shipped over there. Computers contain a lot of hazardous stuff, and when they are done with it, just dump it somewhere, instead of properly disposing it in a safe place.
* User requests page which has flash object, with the parameters of the video and a string containing some unique ID for the advertiser. * Flash object asynchronously fetches the video object, and contacts the ad server for some text and an image. * Adblock plus sees the request for the ad server, block it, while flash waits for the adserver, and times out. * User sees video, but no advertisement.
I think google does an excellent job of providing a graceful timeout, so the user isn't waiting for some random adserver that is broken, like on so many sites (including slashdot, thank god for the advertisement disable feature). I guess I should disable the ads on youtube, but most of the money goes to all the record labels for people using "their" music, and they suing everybody in sight.
No, Fission involves the process of heavy (unstable, usually something like Uranium) element decaying into a lighter element and some radiation, where the radiation is used to generate electricity. This is a proper fusion reactor, as it uses electricity to join (light, usually some form of hydrogen, be it H2 or H3) atoms together, releasing neutrons in the process from which you can generate electricity.
Problem with fusion reactors is that the input (electricity used to join the atoms) is usually bigger then the output, so it's not viable yet as a power source, but when it is figured out, you have a clean power source that uses light elements to produce slightly heavier elements with no radioactive by-products.
The earlier models (at least mine did, spring 06) scratched discs even when stationary. Then again, my Xbox went wrong at about any component, including a broken harddisk (it clicks when you insert it, xbox refuses to boot when its inserted with an e68, now using a 16GB flash drive as harddisk), a red ring of death that appeared about 3 years ago, and went away about three months later, and it scratched my Halo 3 disk for no obvious reason at all (standing vertically on a shock-free cabinet). Also produces graphic artifacts sometimes when its > 20 degrees Celcius (general garbage in rendertargets, models being drawn where some vertices are at random places), so that has something to indicate that the cooling isn't all that great. Along with that that the xbox in combination with my TV consume more then 350 Watts.
Then again, I bought it from a friend for cheap, and the only things I really do with it is dick around in GTA4, so I'm not too worried if this thing goes tits up, since then I can replace it with one of those new ones, which has HDMI, is smaller, uses less space, uses less power and has more room on its harddrive.
Also, I like right-clicking on the back button so that I can skip those stupid pages who decide that it needs to autoreload as the entire frame if something like google image search iframes a page.
I have: Cable modem, router, another switch since we have >4 devices with ethernet sockets, cable->telefone/data splitter, digital television reciever and analog television amplifier because the incoming signal is crap.
I've measured about 80-90 watts of usage when everything is on standby, let alone being on and active! Also, at night the whole room (it's in the living room behind a TV) is lit up like a christmas tree, since every device got a minimum of 3 leds.
I was an internet at some random software company for 6 months, and it helps when maximizing windows, stupid pop-up boxes appearing everywhere and just helps with sorting windows, even on uneven monitors. I run it myself on a 1680x1050 monitor next to a 1280x1024 monitor, and it really helps with stupid dialog boxes.
Actually, I was fine with watching on South Park studios. Except for the fact that fullscreen display was borked because flash would hang, it was fine.
But they stopped posting the episodes after 201 (dutch affliate for southparkstudios), found out how the RSS reader in utorrent works, and now enjoy it in higher quality then the flash player, have it sooner (the flash player always lagged a couple of days behind). Now I have a couple of shows that I only have access to in SD (Top Gear on the BBC2), or not at all (Stargate Universe).
Now my advice for those who die, (Taxman!) Declare the pennies on your eyes, (Taxman!) ‘Cause I’m the Taxman, Yeah, I’m the Taxman. And you’re working for no-one but me, (Taxman).
Halo 3 can be stormed through in coop in about 7 hours, and thats on legendary (or herioc, whatever the highest level is).
More games should offer 3-4 player coop on one or two systems, since its so much more fun playing as a team (and occasionally melee-ing your teammate from behind) then playing alone. Multi-single player?
Are you using uTorrent and its encryption protocol? If so, do you allow legacy connections?
I too saw a decrease in torrent throughput (UPC cable internet, 25/4 mbit), but when I disabled legacy (unencrypted torrents) and forced encryption everything went back to regular speeds.
At least one of your customers is retarded for allowing internet access to a Point of Sale machine, and if they didn't, why have antivirus? The POS network should be shielded from any external networks, either by VPN or hardwire. Point of Sale machines are for sales, not for browsing youtube for cat videos. It should be invisible to users that it is a Windows, Linux or OSX machine.
Slashdot Mirror
Epic Megagames, released for example:
Unreal (Tournament, II, Championship, Tournament 2003/2004, Tournament 3)
Gears of War 1 till 3
And before that (DOS era), a buttload of shareware games.
Next to that, the Unreal engine, which is the basis for a huge chunk of all 3D games released from 2000 till now.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unreal_Engine_games
Publisher wise, not huge, but they really sped up 3D development with their 3D engines.

Depends on hardcore of a monk he/(she?) is, and what kind of state you're in.
If you're a hobo, he will probably help you, if you're a thief, he will kick your ass with rad monk martial art skills (in self defense of course).

Ah come on, does none of the mods ever played lemmings, saw he screwed up and pressed the nuke button?
How hard can it be?
I think it works like this:
* User requests page which has flash object, with the parameters of the video and a string containing some unique ID for the advertiser.
* Flash object asynchronously fetches the video object, and contacts the ad server for some text and an image.
* Adblock plus sees the request for the ad server, block it, while flash waits for the adserver, and times out.
* User sees video, but no advertisement.

so the user isn't waiting for some random adserver that is broken, like on so many sites (including slashdot, thank god for the advertisement disable feature).

Heat produces thermal radiation, so as radiation I meant both heat and gamma particles, but your explanation is more clear.
No, Fission involves the process of heavy (unstable, usually something like Uranium) element decaying into a lighter element and some radiation, where the radiation is used to generate electricity.
This is a proper fusion reactor, as it uses electricity to join (light, usually some form of hydrogen, be it H2 or H3) atoms together, releasing neutrons in the process from which you can generate electricity.

Adblock Plus takes care of these, haven't seen one ever on my desktop/laptops.

My alt key is broken, you insensitive clod!

Only 3 boxes?

Get your boss to get some licenses to this:

I think the P4 has a nuclear fusion core embedded into it.
Temperatures of 100 oC with the stock cooler? NO PROBLEM!
Halo modding: Requires 3dsmax.
That's a big investement. Then again, I started out modding halo, and now i'm following game design/programming classes.
You're putting the emphasis wrong.

You should try going to Europe.
We got (uncovered) tits in billboard ads!
That would fail hard in the case of virtual servers or one host serving multiple domains relying on the host portion of the header of a http request.

Blah.
One hour of Top Gear on BBC2 : 1 hour
One hour of Top Gear on Veronica (dutch TV channel) : 1 hour 35 minutes.
No wonder I watch only about 2 hours of TV each week. I can remember when the standard used to be around 10-12 minutes of advertisements per hour...
