Do you know how annoying it is to browse around and have to scale every fscking webpage so it's readable from a distance (using a HTPC with a lower DPI setting so that I can see stuff from a distance).
I've noticed my gear changes to be much smoother since I started playing Life for Speed, to the point that a passenger in the back seat commented on the car having a "smooth automatic transmission" while I was driving stick.
I have an Audigy 4 pro (I think you mean that, since you talk about the breakout box, the regular audigy 4 is just a re branded audigy 2 without the box), and I'm really wanting to switch to Linux for audio recording (since no ASIO is necessary), but I'm hesitant since:
1) The drivers on XP are shoddy already (It always takes me a couple of tries to get it all working), so the drivers under Linux are okay? and 2) I can't find good recording software that supports recording 6 simultaneous channels at a time. I'm pretty happy with my XP setup (ASIO2 + cubase 5 works wonderful) but I'd really like to move to linux since XP support is fading out, and I'm not interested in Windows 7. plus 3) How will it work with the heaps of VSTi's I have.
Also, what's currently the best distro for recording and editing music, both audio and midi through VSTi's.
If you connected to a multiplayer game with a known pirated serial, your base would randomly explode mid-game. Was always funny to see if you're playing online, and suddenly you won because the other players base was gone.
1) A combination of automatic smoothing groups and a planar UVW map (in other words: lazy modelling) 2) A joystick. I hope not the one out of his pants.
Meh, my atom 330+GMA950 combo can play most 720p and 1080p content fine, yet for some reason has trouble with this version of Fight Club. It's 720p H.264, yet stutters like there is no tomorrow, while the CPU load is around 30%. It's even worse now with this codec installed, since it tries to offload from the CPU to the almost non-existant GPU.
Wish I've waited a couple more months and got something with an ION chipset.
Things that I think it's great at is Intellisense (sort-of autocompletion), its code formatter (although that can get in the way sometimes) and its debug tools. Currently doing some development in C# under Visual Studio 2008, but my java work is done in Netbeans.
You really feel that Netbeans is developed in java and is slow and everything, and it's just refreshing to work in VS again.
ISP's have no reason to listen to music industry lobbiests. They want to keep the maximum amount of money rolling in while spending the least on the actual infrastructure. Bittorrent, usenet and other P2P services consume a lot of bandwidth, with a relative small fraction of the subscribers using it (Pretty much the 20% of the users generating 80% of the traffic 'law'). They decrease the load on the network by throttling those users.
Other P2P networks also give network problems (lots of packages flooding the backbones), so they throttle those as well. Microsoft should be ready to pay a lot to not let their DRM'd P2P channels throttled.
Indeed, when I first got my Wii I had WiiConnect24 on, with my gamecube on top of it (I removed it when playing a game). Eventually the thing got so hot that one of the foot pegs melted inward. Connected Nintendo for the problem and they said that I should send it in for repairs when I experienced any defects or trouble since it was only a cosmetic defect.
This happened a couple weeks after launch, the Wii still works great, although I have placed it now vertically and with WiiConnect24 disabled.
That is what happened with the Anonymous attack on the Time poll, with the 'penis' attack.
They looked at both words, see which one was the least readable, fill in the good one and fill in 'penis' for the second one, in the hopes of poisoning the database so that they only have to enter the first word correctly.
Would be kind of amusing to see a couple of books showing up on Google Books with the word 'penis' randomly inserted in pages where reCaptcha was used.
And the capacitor is there to keep the current going for the time the voltage is around 0V. This isn't really a problem for incandescent light bulbs since they after-glow for the time there is no voltage on the bulb, so you get a consistent glow. This is not the case with CFL's as they only marginally afterglow, and even worse with LEDs since they don't glow at all when the power is cut.
Without it: Normal lightbulb: pretty consistent light CFL: 50hz or 60hz flicker LED: 25hz or 30hz flicker (without rectifier).
No wonder people get headaches from standing around in CFL's all the time.
Yeah. I think (not exactly sure, my combination math is a bit rusty) that all image sets of 32x32 for 16 bit colour would give you (2^16)^(32x32), which is out of the range of most normal calculators, let alone find a storage bank big enough to hold that massive amount of data.

Only for the current domain.

"put the bricked one inside the box, then return it as defective"
That's fraud, also, I think they print the serial of the PS3 on the receipt so they wont match when returning it.

But imagine a BSOD at 1080p! Hi-def kernel panics!
We're entering into a new era of error processing!
No, they blame the loss of sales on piracy and add more draconian DRM.
Or Dutchlantis.
The word "Copyright" has no legal meaning here, so we can just copy/download as we see fit.
Distributing is another matter though, so no uploading, and it's illegal to download software without a license either.
How much is that in Volkswagen Beetle terms?
Same thing with Red Alert 2,

Only if the laser and the targeting sensor are on the same position. Otherwise, the farther you go, the more inaccurate it will be.

I think most people have that option if they don't go "OBAMA NIGGER" etc.
Still, checking that box breaks the layout even more, so I'll just rely on adblock te remove all the garbage.
I find that pretty odd since our galaxy is only about 100.000 lightyears in diameter (on the flat side, it's only about 3.000 lightyears thick).

ATI doesn't want to release drivers to notebook users.
There is an app for that!

That modifies the regular Catalyst suite so it doesn't go "Eh you don't have a compatible card in your system".

Except Apple (or any other generic online music store)

Windows NT was released in mid '93, so if they kept parts of it in their current codebase of XP, then yes, it has parts that are 12 to 15 years old.
