it infects ELF files, it isn't just a program that has to be run seperate. putting your code into someone else's executable does make you a virus. viruses were a big deal when people would run programs off of a floppy disk and infect other people's computers; trojans are much more important now-a-days.
you will likely find the sound output to be pretty poor quality, the sound chips in these cheap devices usually aren't sufficient for in input to a stereo. they only have to be able to drive one small mono speaker adaquately to be considered acceptable to the manufacturer.
i'm not saying it will certainly be bad, but it is something to look out for.
putting the disk in the thin client makes no sense, he's just got to network that sucker. a big slow drive in a seperate machine and ethernet in the terminal would be way cheaper, too.

so you're just in it for the homoeroticism?
sure it may not be as intimate at the big ones, but i'm sure you can still find a cute guy.
you are poorly informed, companies aren't allowed to take away your freedom of speech that easily. especially not in germany, all they have to do is stand up to this and they will win in court.
for a developing country software piracy is a good solution. intellectual property acknowledgements are only useful when between nations that are near equal economically. there is no reason to recognise intellectual property when all it does is keep your country from improving its lot and making the quality of life better. the issue at hand is in the same vein as the inability of developing african nations to buy drugs used as AIDS treatments.
you're so clueless it's scary, the other guy is 100% right. goodwill is pointless to a company unless other people know about it. an executive DOES have the duty to maximise the profit for shareholders, and that is the sole purpose they are hired for. a corporation is all about spending someone else's money in a way to make them more money in return, the executives have no right to piss away other people's money. the investors can donate to charity on their if they feel inclined, but there is no reason at all they should be at the mercy of what "philanthopists" (theives in this case) choose to do with thier investment.
reiserfs was having some data loss problems for a while and it scared the shit out of people, that's about the worst problem a fs can have. it's how i heard a silly joke "It's all fun and games until somebody loses and i-node"
but really xfs has had many years in full deployment at sgi, in response to the original poster, who was for some reason rated a troll. i'm the troll here:) (well not in this post)
just check argv[0] which will probably be at a semi-fixed offset. drivers run in the same address space as the program that runs them, all they have to do is look in the early allocated memory to see what's there. they could also get the process list for the system and look for quake there. it probably is even more trivial than that, the drivers actually probably get passed all the data they need in thier initialization,.
that's no solution at all. the drivers could just as easily check a dozen other things like resolving symbols, included dlls, binary size, symbol positioning/offsets, start-up sequence, etc. there is simply no reason a person should have to reverse engineer drivers just to do a fair benchmark having the same features used on different cards.
there is starting to be a little precidence with optimized drivers, recently AMD released a patch to fix the CPU detection in a video encoding program commonly used in cpu benchmarks. the program was just checking for sse compatibility on intel cpus and amd just made it so they would check it on amd cpus as well. most reviewers were quite worried at the time about whether things like that would become common, but ran with it because they considered it as something that allowed a better cpu comparison since it compared chips using the same feature set.
what ati did is vastly different, they tone down texture quality if the game you are playing is quake3, even if you specify high quality textures in game. blocking how the programmers intended something to display in order to make yourself stand higher in benchmarks really IS cheating.

i wish i had my penis in your ear.
but if you figure in the extra $100 for making it jesus' head you're back at the same figure. damn.
haha, you're so kooky.
i like your style.
i claim this first post for jesus, my lord and saviour, all hail the king
you shoould get a ribeye, that's what jesus would have had if he didn't live in judea.
it's hard to ignore GTA3, it's only the best selling Playstation 2 game.
yeah, he's the fp master.
wasting time, 20 seconds
yay
you really should start a tally
yeah, it really sounds like the latter option.
100 would be a fuck-tonne.
you have any idea of your count? i've seen you get more than just a couple.

that one really cracked me up.
my counter non-troll... why run linux when you can run windows 2000?
infogames are the only ones with the authority to initiate a cease and desist. lawyers are used for counsel and representation.

anyone know if there are any similar pictures somewhere that are high enough resolution to actually tell what is being photographed?
please link 'em if you got 'em.
