Wrong! If you don't go watch the movie, the MPAA will assume that you have watched a bootleg copy at home, thereby enforcing their belief that DRM needs to be implemented.
Povray is the equivalent of Bryce and Poser in the real world of 3d modelling. Povray doesnt even come close to the new closed-source renderers available today such as Brazil, VRay and Final Render. Hell, it wont even compare to the industry workhorses such as Mental Ray and PRman.
Exactly. All I see this program as being capable of doing is translating the Maya geometry and shaders into the Renderman REYES based geometry and shaders. MTOR already does this, and anyone that usually buys PRman (Pixar's implementation of the Renderman standard), will also get MTOR. Besides, the really cool effects on LOTR where done using Radiosity and global illumination, which at the moment is not supported by the Renderman standard.
The article said that 67% of Korean HOUSEHOLDS are connected to broadband, not 67% of Korean Internet USERS. That means that 67% of the homes are wired with broadband. The actual percentage of population of people who have access to broadband is therefore much higher than 67% since Households usually constitute more than a single person.
YES!!! The sole source of someone's intellect is in what type of computer they use. I think it is about time that we abolish Sat's and instead allow entrance into college based on what operating system you use. Using windows? Sorry buddy, it's off to McDonalds to flip burgers for you. Using a Mac? Congratulations sir, and welcome to Harvard University. Ofcourse, the superiority of Unix means that all linux users are exempt from going to college and will instead be given a PhD automatically.
Seriously man, your choice of operating system has nothing to do with your level of intellect. Are you going to condemn all the 3d artists at Blizzard who use 3dmax (a windows only program) as being stupid just because they use windows?

Actually, Office 2k and XP allow you to entirely rearrange your drop down menus, icons and toolbars. And it is easily done by draggng and dropping where you want the commands. You can even change the icon pictures if you are so inclined.
I guess call wasnt exactly the right word to use. Infact, now that I think of it, an automated system would work much better. You just log in to a website with your account & credit card info and they will automatically adjust your limit.
Sympatico here in Canada is implementing a 5gig upload/download limit. I think they will charge $8 for every extra gig that you download. While I am not opposed to a transfer limit, why don't the broadband providers limit our download rate once we reach our transfer limits.
E.g. If I download 5 gigs by the middle of June, the broadband provider can reduce my speed to 10k/bs a second until the beginning of next month. If I want to download more, then I can just call them up and ask for a higher transfer limit, which I will obviously pay for.
The sentence is poorly written, but all that the reporter is trying to say is that the software that allows regular people to add to Cyc's database is only available on Linux.
Um, if you go to the apple menu, there is a command to automatically shutdown. If that is too much of a hassle, you can make a script to shutdown and bind it to any key you like. Just use the following command:
The problem is that it business users (who obviously pay more for their access) have also had their organization fields co-opted by Roadrunner. As you said, it is very difficult to look professional when your postings state that you are from roadrunner.
Here is a great bootleg, although you may be violating the dmca if you do download it;)

Stolen from some website: Remove Windows Messenger Contributed by Claus Bruun and many others It seems that a lot of people are interested in removing Windows Messenger for some reason, though I strongly recommend against this: In Windows XP, Windows Messenger will be the hub of your connection to the.NET world, and now that this feature is part of Windows, I think we're going to see a lot of.NET Passport-enabled Web sites appearing as well. But if you can't stand the little app, there are a couple of ways to get rid of it, and ensure that it doesn't pop up every time you boot into XP.
If you'd like Windows Messenger to show up in the list of programs you can add and remove from Windows, navigate to C:\WINDOWS\inf (substituting the correct drive letter for your version of Windows) and open sysoc.inf (see the previous tip for more information about this file). You'll see a line that reads:
