What? Almost every star trek battle happens in 3D Space. Spock even mentiones it in The Wrath of Khan: Khan supposedly fought from a 2D point of view, so Kirk lowered the ship, and got behind them.
For the other battles, you see fly-by's almost every time where they fly over and hit the hull, fly under and hit the bottom or some other random point.
That episode you were talking about happens in Enterprise for sure, but they made a 3 dimensional net around a certain point to find a cloaked ship.
Actually, Microsoft advises against those coolerpacks on the back since they put a heavier load on the powerbrick and adds stress to the cooling fans inside.
If your Xbox died, you send it in for warranty, bet your ass that they are going to refuse to provide it if they find signs of that cooler brick.
I'm quite fond of my xbox though, it's a tough little machine. The thing got soaked in water TWICE (window open while it rained), and even has given me a red ring (but not the famous RROD), but still functions quite nicely, although it's a first generation box and makes so much noise that I have to crank up my stereo.
But the field of view of a camera is a lot bigger then that of a single laser beam.
You still have to point that tiny dot at something moving very fast.
Abbey Road wasn't designed as an album, it's the last breath of the Beatles, a series of left-overs all compiled into one grand finale (with the second side mixed into one lengthy piece). Sure, it turned out well, but if you're looking for an album designed as an album instead of a series of songs, the best attempt from the Beatles was Sgt Peppers, but they even failed at that since they abandoned the idea after the intro, outro and With a little help from my friends, or Let it Be, which also failed as a concept.
Nothing against the Beatles though, they make great music, but that was not the best example you could have chosen.
There is also the difference in media players.
My HTPC is equipped with intel graphics and a dualcore atom. It struggles with 720p under VLC, but it's smooth sailing under Media Player Classic (under Windows XP). I guess if I overclock the graphics card it could run 1080p too, but haven't tested it since my monitor goes to 1440x900.
Except this is a whole new kind of lag. Most FPS games still allow you to move your camera around locally, so you can see around with only the delay generated by your local machine (low fps etc). With OnLive, even that will lag (since everything you see or hear is generated by the server instead of the client).
Now you lead shots by pointing your camera ahead of the target, with these server-based games, you will have to aim without sight, and fire blindly before your screen updates.
Rotate it 90 degrees, so you can hold it like a book, with your thumb on the arrow keys for scrolling. Works fine with me. The intel chipset drivers on XP (in the EEE series) can rotate the screen at driver level, and I'm sure most linux distro's support that option aswell.
That is because cat6 is twisted pair, thus cancelling out any EM static, but most cables have shielding anyways that connect to ground, so most noise is filtered out. That does not count for cheap VGA or unbalanced audio cables.
Try holding up something amplified (electric guitar) next to a power cord or computer, you'd be amazed how much noise is generated by those things.
My Asus EEE 901 flashes fine from a USB flash drive. Just make sure you have an empty FAT-16 flashdrive with a file on it that the bios expects (in this case, 901.rom), and hit f-something during boot.
What happened is that I have two seagate 250 GB harddrives (one PATA, one SATA), along with 2 maxtor 500 GB Sata drives.
Windows Setup then formatted my PATA drive and installed windows on it, while I wanted it to install on the SATA drive. No way to tell which is which in windows setup. Also disconnecting before setup and reconnecting them afterwards gives weird side-effects (eg: Primary drive being D:), which makes installing stuff such a chore (especially for installers expecting Windows, Documents and Settings and Program Files residing on C:).
You'll need the $100 a year developer subscription if you want to play/test your stuff on the real hardware, or play 'unpublished' games, and it's severely locked down (Much like running homebrew on the PS3).
Still, just the piece of kit an indie developer needs: Cheap development environment, easy distributing to a system with a huge install base.
That was the case with all the westwood games up till Command and Conquer Generals.
The game was devided between two sides, each disc had one sides campaign on it (with all the movies and whatnot) and if you wanted a two player lan game, each person just used one of the discs.
Great memories of endless nights of red alert skirmishes.
For that matter, why should the media player have to reindex the second there's a change made?
And that's the reason I never bought an iPod (along with the fact that I absolutley hate itunes, pretty much started when it installed one time while installing quicktime, overriding all my mime-type associations for music and video files in windows. My creative Zen only needs to rebuild its index if it hard-crashes (as in, you have to push the reset button to boot it), which happens like once a year. It acts as a removable drive, or syncs perfectly with winamp or the bloat creative suite.
As far as indexing files, try The Godfather, it can move files about, rename them, tag them using gracenote and generate playlists. It keeps my music organisation tidy: music\artist\year - album\artist - album - track - title.mp3.

Ghostbusters?
You mean a
GUI in Visual Basic?
One that can track IP's perhaps?
There was FreeSCI, but I don't know how well that works. Seems it merged with ScummVM, and seeing their compatibility page, most games should work.
If all that fails, you could try dosbox. I remember running space quest 4 a while ago, and it went quite well.
How many times have you seen cars fly across 3 lanes of traffic to get to an exit?
If you're in France, try driving on the roundabout where the Arc du Triomphe is located.
10 lane roundabout, and it's total madness.

Are we measuring now in US gallons or UK gallons?
Try doing that to your primary drive.

Good job, now you've nullified your moderation.

No, it goes more like >:( when you wipe the wrong partition/disk.
Stupid windows installer listing PATA drives before SATA drives.
http://localhost/conf/wifi ?
They could even stick it in a bookmark.
Then how do you call "files" on a flash medium?
Addendum: Only goes for downloading in the Netherlands. Uploading (eg: distributing) is still illegal for copyrighted works.
You could keep using windows XP for the next 70 years (assuming you could find compatible hardware), and it wouldn't get any worse.
For what does Windows Update exist then?
