2) I understand Christianity very very well, I was brought up in a family that pressed it into my skull as a child and have had long in depth conversations with college educated Born Again Christians.
3) Your unquestioning faith in the intangible is what frightens me.
Star Trek was really Roddenbery's (sp?) attempt to create a new positive future social utopia for mankind. With all the dismal futures science fiction has conceived, I for one am glad that there has been at least one gem standing on the side of optimism. Not to say I don't enjoy a good dystopia, but you wouldn't want to *only* have that particular view.
My reaction isn't to your Church, your Christian God, nor anything else you mention here. I'm simply offering a garish contrast to your inanely hopeful preaching. If you had been epousing views about the magnificence of Hare Krishna more people would understand why what you said was so frightening. It's only because the majority are within the fold of Christianity already that none object to your ranting. Frankly, this is what gives me more respect for the Jewish faith than popular American Christianity. They have the decency to refrain from incessantly trying to offer immediate salvation those who wander by into their conversations.
What? So I should cower and refuse to express my opinion, or posting as art, for fear of retrobution by the Christian masses? My constitutional rights aside, morally I'd be opposed to anyone proslytizing on a public forum for technology no matter what their personal religious (or anti- or non-religious) cause. I came to read the beginning relevant portion and was disturbed by the writers need to press his opinion into my face. My reply was simply a creative attempt to shock and grab attention to this.
Americans do play quite a bit of FPS and strategy games, but you must realize that they are drawing conclusions from a pool of Counter-strike players and not from the general populace. Additionally, the majority of Americans don't play computer games because of the many headaches involved with system requirements, patching, and overall price of computer systems, and so most prefer to purchase an easier to understand video game console to play their games. It's hard to argue with the ease of just plugging the disc into the slot and hitting power, but I guess since most Americans have difficulty operating a VCR even that must be tough for some people.
As for sports games, that is a very complicated issue that involves history, the replacement of religion for personal hope, ability to ease into large group associations with peers despite backgrounds, and many other considerations.
Please... people aren't suing the makers of picket fences for giving children epileptic seizures as a car drives by it, so why are they attacking video game makers? This is ridiculous... Next thing you know people with red-green color blindness are going to be suing city and state governments for picking red and green for stop-light colors (red-green color blindness means you cannot differentiate between the two colors).
This was somewhat relevant and interesting until I hit the last paragraph. The rank fumes of triteness smacked me in the face and I recoiled in horror. In fact, if you replace every instance of "Christ" and "Jesus" with your favorite Hindu god/goddess you will see how ridiculous the message is. "Yea, believe unto me you flock of sheep; for you have the brains of peas and I will tend to your ignorance with the most mollifying rhetoric you have ever experienced."
I think this was taken from OSNews because they have the same misleading info there... The announcement should have been for "store pre-orders" and nothing else...
Yeah, that's an interesting question. Microsoft says it's only for AMD x86-64 chips, but I have the same curiosity as Sentosus of whether the Intel IA-32e (bleh) will be able to run it... From what Linus and the others were saying on the thread from Kernel.org, it would seem that MS may just need to change a few things here and there when they get a hold of how the architecture is different. So the conclusion may be that "not yet" is the answer...
Considering the bandwidth mostly comes from the users on the torrent, I'd hardly call it "hard work." That said, I wouldn't disagree with not directly linking torrents. Which is why my link is actually to a page, which shows a banner, etc before popping up the download link.
According to the documentation for the kX Project drivers for emu10k based boards (including the Soundblaster Live!) they offer a front/rear switch because the front speakers are using technology that has greater noise (lower SNR). Just switching from that to any other board with a decent SNR would be an improvement. It's nice to see that some Soundstorm solutions are decent, because my personal experience with AC'97 in the SNR department (and crosstalk interference) has been pretty dismal. At decent volumes driven by the AC'97 output line-out there is quite a bit more hiss on the line than even my SB Live!.
Where's the video playing 80GB iPOD that encodes into Quicktime/MPEG4 on the fly off several input types, handles plugins for any software based encoder you want, comes with changeable faceplates...
Handling math isn't too far off from compiler design, you are just interpreting syntax and semantics and manipulating symbols in an intelligent manner. In the field of Artificial Intelligence they have developed something called Prolog which lets you create a database information engine that can figure out posed questions from rule set manipulation. They have used this for many things, such as verifying a proof, or finding an alternate way to prove the same thing, and even as so far as to find new mathematical identities.

1) That was my point about the Jewish faith.
2) I understand Christianity very very well, I was brought up in a family that pressed it into my skull as a child and have had long in depth conversations with college educated Born Again Christians.

The commissioner was also inducted into the Guinness Book of Record's new category of "Geekiest Man Alive."
... are they going to be booking tickets for the comedy performance of RMS singing "Hackers you'll be free"?!
You'd think the state DMV would crack the whip on them...

Did you consider the scenario in which you only have a single room, such as a studio apartment?
BTW- I'm not being rude, just terse. I thought your other suggestions were helpful.

Did you read the question? He said he couldn't move the computer.
Amen. Lord knows the Mac scene could use a few shots in the arm.

You mean Firefox?
Looks like a space got stuck in there, just erase it (between the k and i in painkiller subdirectory in the URL) to fix it.
(first FP ever! wow)
I've tried the GameTab torrents before and have had more success with the 3DGamers seeds.

Yeah. Definitely punch him in the groin.

Bastard. Utter bastard. :(
Durr... Pentium 4 is 32-bit... I thought the hard limit for memory addressing would be 4 gigabytes?

I thought that was built into one of the Office suite apps...
