I looked through the code, it is not doing any form of hooking of system calls into the GPU to be directly called without it being known. What it does do is call out to the GPU to xor specific strings into a buffer stores on the GPU to hide it's log file. As far as I can tell, the syscall[x].syscall_func is simply a pointer to a GPU function to call which only has access to GPU memory. this is why in each of the "hooked" functions it has to transfer the data to be handled into the GPU. I don't see anything where direct memory access of the CPU is occurring by the GPU without there being a transfer from CPU to GPU.
Except even if the toolbar is disabled it still installs and enables the toolbar in Firefox. It also auto-enables the toolbar upon a new installation of Firefox if Firefox was not previously installed.
Gullwing doors are great. I own a delorean and here are a few things I've noticed. One, I don't have to worry about how close someone parks, I only need 11 inches to open the door. Two, if it is raining, the door tends to keep my seat more dry and myself as there is less movement out of the way of the door to get around and in as you would do with a normal door.
With the engine being mounted in the mid to rear end, you have a firewall that would get pushed into the flat of your back if you are against it assuming hit from behind. Having a head on collision the delorean's front will crumple as it is just empty storage space. Current cars the engine get's shoved into the firewall which then has a chance to crumple the footwell area that your feet are in.
It is sad that two cars, both with designs to benefit people, have either been destroyed or had their reputation destroyed so no-one would contemplate building anything that even looks like it or has safety features.
I'm sure others can point out even more similarities and benefits.
We have more women with more of a bust due to all of the female hormones floating around in what we eat (think about large breast meat on chicken) and in the plastics everything is wrapped in.
Actually, memcpy in and of itself is slow. Hand writing your own asm version of memcpy using extended cpu functions is a lot faster as memcpy itself is usually kept basic enough to work on any cpu, including the older cpu's without MMX, SSE, etc.
Someone correct my numbers if I'm wrong but Wii Fit has roughly 13.9m sales total at a cost of about $90 per game plus balance board so $1.2b. I'll ignore Wii Sports as it comes with every Wii. If Guitar Hero is being measured to include the hardware addons, I'm only seeing roughly 4.2m across the Wii, 360, and PS3 total. That means $238 per sale of Guitar Hero. These numbers are based off of vgchartz's website for total sales (seen on the expanded weekly chart).
If they want to include hardware with a game then maybe all Wii purchases were actually to purchase Wii Sports to a tune of 40.9m sales at $250 a sale so $10.2b.
The company I work for deals with getting medications to patients in nursing homes. If there is a bug it means I stay up and work until the bug is solved. It does not matter if it is 1am that I get a call about a software flaw. I'm up and awake until the bug is resolved so that we do not kill a patient by giving them the wrong drug.
That you are paying a doctor quite a bit of money for an operation due to their expertice and yet they do not know how to remove their tools? Auto mechanics seem to know how to keep from leaving a wrench inside the engine that they had in pieces.
Maybe I would be better off going to the auto mechanic for major surgery.
I currently do Visual Basic 6 programming on large machinary. With it we drive customized hardware and require millisecond timing. A basic idea, we have 5 seperate areas of the system that all have to interact with each other. 3 of the sections have 8 stations that are independant of each other and fire every 2 seconds.
We are migrating to Visual Basic.NET. Of course this was all done by my boss who only knows Visual Basic. We are even directly controlling printers outside of the windows printer queue via a class I personally wrote in Visual Basic.
With my 10 years of programming knowledge ranging from low level assembly to C++ game development, I have learned that Visual Basic allows for quick application development for business applications.
However, Visual Basic has progressed over the years from what it use to be. It use to be slow, cumbersome, and a pain. Now between CPU speed increases and Visual Basic actually being mostly compiled, you do not see a difference. The only time I find that VB is unsuitable and unable to perform a task is when you need the last little drop out of the CPU. Most applications do not require this. I can slap a screen together and have new data showing on the screen faster in VB than going thru the complexity of C++.
Combine VB with Windows API's, which you use anyways in C and C++, and you have just as much control. I know.NET has made such API access more difficult but at the same time.NET has introduced all of the nice things from C++ like overloading functions, virtual classes, class inheritance and instancing, and polymorphism.
Running latest versions of apache, proftpd, bind (chroot'd), and postfix. I figure I must be doing something right if it is still up after 6 years without any successful attacks. Considering all the automated worms today and automated port scanning for weak systems.

I'm still on Potato. It's been stable and online for the last 6 years (as I recall upgrading to potato from slink). Give me a good reason to upgrade being this is my web/mail/dns/ftp box.
Even if it does release, due to all of the hype, it will have to out perform every game on the market both graphically and in the story. If it fails to do that, it will flop very quickly. What is the point of developing a game this long if you can not even out do the current market?
People are talking about optical fiber and think of it as it is now. What about fiber inside the CPU core, or inside of cameras. This would allow for even smaller electronics and taking up even less room.
High $70k salaries in the western side of the US where cost of living is high. Over on the south/east side, it is around $50k average. However the burn-out rate for the game industry seems to be around 5 years due to the large number of hours. But why get paid $70k a year when you work 60 hour weeks (or more)? You actually make less per hour than someone working $50k salary at 40 hours a week.
Hmm, 16 hours to get power back onto the computer. Living in Florida and having a power outage during a hurricane can result in a 24 hour power loss (or longer). I think I'll pass on such a setup. Much rather have a fast solid state drive that keeps it's data.
I was involved in fixes for a group of software for Y2K, up to the night before. The company I worked for at the time developed software for handling when medications are given to patients in hospitals, and charging the right amount to insurance. We covered very large facilities all over the US. Had we not updated the software, it would have never allowed patients to get their medication, and billing would have been screwed up out the ying yang.
If you were in the hospital right after Y2K, be glad that a group of us worked overtime and literally up to the last minute to get all the corrections done and all the sites remotely updated.
One thing that exit polls do not take into account are absentee ballots. Florida gets a number of ballots from the military due to the MacDill Air Force base, which in the past has gone republican.
In the 2000 election, exit polls were a mess, but it was also found that people would lie about the exit poll for fun resulting in bad numbers also. Last time, Florida was called earily while the panhandle of florida was still open and voting (different timezone). The result was alot of people leaving the polls assuming their vote did not account resulting in an even closer race in 2000.
I would never trust exit polling. Between how much it will shift based on which county, even which polling area you are at, and people are not always truthful with polls. I could get a poll showing a landslide for Bush in California. I just have to go ask at a poll area known to be highly Republican. I can not poll all the areas.
For a site with linux in it's url, it seems very negative against linux and has taken SCO's side in the past. Is such a story really news worthy coming from LinuxWorld?
Of course I am not even going into all the legal disputes, including the two orders by the judge for sco to comply and point to the lines they claim infringe (which they claim publicly to have, and they should have before bringing a lawsuit if they wish to get anywhere).
The other fact is that more companies seem to be moving towards "Software Engineer" compared to a computer programmer. I've worked for a few companies now and each of them was labelling all the programmers as engineers. It seems to sound as if you were more important because you are an engineer instead of a programmer but doing the same job.
It seems that one business or another owns every member of Congress, "We the people" is now "We the corporations" as far as representation in Congress goes.
An issue is that a corporation is seen as a legal entity, just as a human is. So by law, a corporation is a person, and the person with the most money is the one that is listened to.
The real issue is that people get in and out of the car and dont grab ahold of the car, or some other object to ground themselves before grabbing the nozzle. This is when the static electricity gets released and becoems dangerous.
This is also why women are the leading cause to the fires, as they get in and out to do something. None of the fires, according to MythBusters, are started by older people, as older people will grab the car to get out, or stand there the whole time holding the handle to the pump causing them to stay grounded.
What you must realize is that the same scientific way of determining age has been questioned about how accurate it is due to known ages being way off during tests.
In reality, science is just theory, it if works, it works, but, if your core test for the theory is flawed, then so is all your other proof.
Here is the fun part, if you watch the first movie, you'll notice the tail pipes are missing. It also has an odd sound when it starts up, as if something electrical turned on. It was suppose to have a nuclear engine in it.
They then did the 3rd movie, and needed a way to have the car break down, so the combustion engine came back.
