Aren't there other ways for young authors to get their start now? I know someone who wrote vampire novels and couldn't get a publisher so she just released them for cheap on Amazon's marketplace. They did well and now she's a millionaire with multiple publishing deals.
I'm not sure how popular the Sci-Fi magazines are but just getting your books out there on markets as eBooks and selling them cheaper than well established writers seems like it might be an even better way to get recognized.
Your lack of knowledge in this post is an obvious fail... The point would be for full screen video using multimonitor setups with "NVIDIA surround" or AMD "Eyefinity".
It simulates having one higher resolution screen using multiple monitors. The problem is you have bezels, 1 ultra high resolution screen would solve that.
Apple Cinema displays have the quality of displays sold 5 years ago while being sold as if they are 5 years ahead of their time.
I prefer ViewSonic displays. They always have a model or two with bleeding edge performance for gaming as well as having top end image quality. The price is usually reasonable too. I have been buying them since they came out with the first LCD with 2 ms response time and buy a new one whenever there is a significant improvement. I have six now, all running off the same machine. The latest I bought was their 24" 120hz 3D LED model. I went to a LAN recently and sat right next to someone with the newest Dell 27" and the quality was good but not as good as the ViewSonic. Out of all their monitors I've bought I haven't had 1 dead pixel yet either.
27" is too big for what I want and that really isn't near the resolution I want either. Also some may think the Dell quality is good but it really isn't up to par with what I want.
I would be willing to pay $800 for a 4x180p 24" 120hz screen. I figure it would be worth 4 $200 screens. Maybe the market just isn't there for screens like that, but it doesn't seem to stop video card makers from putting out $2k cards so I'm still a little surprised there aren't any monitors like that out there.
I don't understand why they don't already have these, the technology exists for pixel density that high. Just make a 4x1080p monitor that has 4 inputs. Everyone with the Nvidia/ATI multiscreen setups will gobble them up.
What "simplistic solutions"? If you ever actually listen to Ron Paul his solutions aren't simple day one drop all of this solutions. They consist of gentle phasing out of such things as better solutions fill their place.
You should try reading and listening to the original source (Ron Paul) instead of CNN, ABC, and Fox News.
I have all LEDs in my living room now. You can get really good ones on amazon for about $15 with lifetime warranties. The philips one has a normal slightly yellow color which is okay the other ones I have have the pure white color which I like better. There are a lot of options online. You don't need to buy from GE.
It is nice to see some good competition for the Unreal Engine, although I think UE has the edge over CryENGINE. And when it comes to performance, the Grand Canyon.
But it is really great to see multiple amazing engines people can make games for for free and distribute for free, or even sell for minimal licensing fees. These engines are aspiring game developers' dreams come true.
They did this with the game America's Army and Unreal Engine 2.X. I'm not sure if that upgraded to UE3 yet. The engine is free if you aren't selling anything (and dirt cheap if you are) and it is basically the best game engine out there.
I've never heard of an employer asking this before. Do they try to save money buy using it as an alternative background check or something? Asking for someone's password seems ridiculous.
Wrong! It takes several minutes for super computers to do the super advanced triangulation math and sound affects associated with it. And if they hang up before the calculations are done the data is lost forever!
You know they have really nice free programs for managing and converting all formats of e-books and uploading them to your e-reader of choice. Calibre is a nice one. I use it with my nook simple touch, which I prefer over the kindle touch.
Yeah really. At work I have 2 low end 19" 1280x1024 resoultion monitors connected to my machine whereas at home I have 7 good monitors and can be much more productive.
Passing laws for big businesses and not letting anyone know the details? Why would he be doing that? Obviously it is corruption. Put this man in prison.
I have yet to see one example of code with algorithms so complex that can't be named well enough to make comments redundant. I challenge you to give an example because I can guarantee the code is just poorly written.
For some reason people on slashdot are super anti anyone that says comments are bad. Even though comments are bad. They add extra junk to sift through and should be completely redundant if you are naming things properly. If you need a comment your functions and variables are not named well enough and don't explain what the code is doing. When your code isn't named well enough and you have comments when you do go to refactor or change things you have to change both the name of the function or variable and the comment, but you only change one and the code and comments become confusing. If you don't understand this through years of programming experience you can always read books. "Clean Code" by Robert C. Martin explains it quite well.

Eventually you'll learn not to RTFA.
They probably meant after you unplug it and plug it back in.

How about call it a "rolling stop" instead of a "California stop" as if people from California are special or something.
The school bus stop sign is so kids can walk across the street without getting run over. You're supposed to stop form both sides.

I got sick of getting them wrong all the time. I finally just downloaded a browser plug-in to do them for me.
