No, the voodoo 3 was both 2d/3d. It was the first of their cards that wasn't 3d only. (well, in the main line. I think there was a variant of 1 or 2 that was less powerful but also did 2d. Not sure about that though. )
Maybe. I'm not an expert, but I've been on and off SSRIs at times. My actual experience is that they help get me to normal, and they reduce the need for them. This doesn't work for everyone, but there is the idea out there that changing your mood will naturally change your natural brain Chemistry. It needs the meds and therapy together work, and has for me to a degree. (that doesn't always work for sure, people do need them forever, and in my case I've gone back and forth between needing them and not twice in the last 10 years). So, I guess yes, you can be dependent on them if that doesn't work, but they are probably harmless. (probably, screwing with brain chem is scary to me, despite taking them)
There are lots of things people need to take a pill for everyday.
Did you try? I'm not saying I figured out the Reg Key to do it myself, but a quick Google search will tell you how to turn on the Win7 interface on the Developer Preview. There are even several tools that will switch it back and forth for you.
You find different fun. And, really, having done both and grown older at the same time, both have an effect. I'm not married anymore, and I have custody of my kids. They are getting older, about to lose one to going off to college. If I had all the time in the world back to me, which I may in a few years, I don't see me doing what I did back in the day. Right now, once in a while (about 1/year) a game occupies me a lot for a while. I don't ever see going back to when it did all the time.
Yes, they do. It's just almost always a given that they will get it. If Johnson hadn't dropped out of the 1968 race, it's very likely he would not have won the Democratic Nomination.
I saw quite a few people pointing out that there were problems with other ISPs without reading too far into the comments on the last story. And initially I, like others, had no doubt reading the summary that it was true. I was wrong, and stopped worrying about it.
Did you read the article? (or course not.) It points out a very good example where having a CLI to do a job is vastly superior to a GUI. That's not always true, but there are plenty of examples. That said, I prefer the command line for anything, so I'm biased.
One can't copyright one's existence, and thereby prevent, say, a biography, a news report, or tabloid coverage.
But what if you write an autobiography? Are you not then a character in your own book, making other biographies a derivative work?
No. I suppose maybe, if the other biographies were completely based off the autobiography. Even then though, it doesn't work. If they copy word for word it's a copyright violation. Being a non-fiction work, there's really no way to argue derivativeness. In fiction, you can run into using problems using characters and setting. Not in a biography.
It's like saying the first person to write about anything owns any right to write about it.
But, they don't always arise out of a new way of *thinking*. I'd say more often than not they don't. Java, Ruby, C++...most popular object-oriented languages, came well after that new way of thinking was around. (C++ may not be a great example. It was kinda new then).
But still, a language is just syntax (plus quirks), Yes, you need to understand the paradigm too, but after that, what language matters very little.
Not that I'm 100% sure, but in X everything displaying on the screen is a child process to the server in some way. It's probably not that simple since, thinking about it, remote apps would be completely different, but from experience they don't like losing their display. Regardless, it's probably very built into how X Window works, and was designed to. I'm not sure it could be fixed without going to something completely different, and that has yet to work out.
During, yes. But not at OS/2's release in 1987, which is what I was replying to. The few in your list that did exist I would question being "viable" as a desktop OS. At the time, anyway. And I say that w/o having used them back then, and all are UNIX or a clone, essentially. Since I run a Linux-based OS 90% of the time as my Desktop OS, I'm probably wrong about "2", not about there being more now though.
There were very few viable desktop operating systems back then to choose from.
You think there are more "viable" desktop operating systems available today than back when OS/2 was released?
Are you sure?
Per platform, I would say yes. Especially on the "PC". There was DOS and OS/2. There are way more than 2 "viable" desktop operating systems now. Necessarily popular, maybe not, but they are all there.
I know nothing at all about Anonet at this point, but what they are saying is valid. It's not up to any ONE person, or a specific group to decide what people allow to be hosted using their machines. This is good, I think. Speaking for myself, I'm extremely open minded, and would not censor just about anything. Kiddie Porn would be a huge exception. Images of rape in general as well. But, ideas and opinions, no.
The only difference is the books being released under Jordan's names were done using his notes, and by his wishes. These were books he would have wrote himself.
Which is why this is so wrong. Finishing the WoT posthumously was completely Jordon's wish. He planned for it. And, this is completely different. It's like Jordon had finished, then 40 years after he did, 17 years after his death, the estate decided to let someone add on to it.
I would love to have seen more stories in the WoT universe. Jordon hinted a while back he may have written some in the future. However, beyond finishing the "last" book, which so far is being done very well, I really don't want to see other author's touching it.
The Ada requirement was waivered out of existance nearly as soon as it was introduced. I've been a programmer in the AF for 11+ years and haven't touched Ada since Tech School back in '97. (I've spent the vast majority of my career programming in JOVIAL. We're upgrading to C++/JAVA sometime in the next decade....maybe. Been saying that for years.)
Actually all you need is an XP CD to fix this. I've stupidly killed grub installing a new kernel (don't ask how, i'm still not sure) and made the system unbootable. To get a working system back quickly, I just loaded up XP's setup and fixed it in the Emergency console. Now, knowing there is an emergency console, and that the command "fixmbr" (I think) will reinstall XP's boot loader is probably still beyond most people, but still. You don't need to be so savy as to have a Linux Live CD laying around.
Well, the thing with this issue apparently is.11 only fixes a bug introduced by a botched patch in.10 which was only released 4 days ago. Odds are, people who don't have auto updates enabled and don't update often probably wouldn't have been running.10 anyway. The story is completely pointless. (though, in my case, Firefox never told me there was an update, and I only noticed last night when I started it up and it installed something, but still.......)
good point.....realized after my post just below your's that the summary above was wrong.....people really do post w/o reading the article. (like I didn't know that....)
No, or at least I don't see that at all. I agree with the GP. The article doesn't expound enough on the GPL, but I think the simple explanation of it is accurate and doesn't confer the conotation you imply........I'm really not sure how this is bad, other than maybe being simplistic........
I was wondering about that.....was going to reply to an earlier post that Steam should do like Nintendo does with the VC, you enter everything every time. Then I remembered Steam does do that. It's easy to forget tho.....steam doesn't fail to connect in the middle of a transaction often. It's a good thing, but annoys the hell out of me with the VC sometimes.
(and Steam and the VC are the only online CC purchases i've made in years.....i usually avoid it.)

It does happen. "Every time" or even frequently, I haven't seen. I get it about 2-3 times a year, it's a little annoying, but not a big deal.
Duke 3D was not fully 3D. It was basically the same "2.5D" of other early FPS's. It was a very advanced 2.5D Engine, but it wasn't fully 3D.
Didn't that use (poorly) digitized photos though? This doesn't do well with that sort of thing. It's a fun thought though.

You summed up my thoughts exactly. (but you worded it better on the post I didn't make)
This may not be illegal, but it's definitely questionable. "Settle with us, or we may sue you"....

Wish I had Mod points. Love that post. Hard to pick between Funny and Insightful. Made me laugh first, but after that it's the latter.
