CDRW with the divx are phisically floating around the campus but... I've seen it @ the cinema last Friday (Italian launch), will go tomorrow to see the english speaking version and will most definitely grab a DVD when it comes out... Matrix on divx is like a steak fillet cooked in a microwave; a waste.
Rather than socialism, what's dragging EU economy down the drain is US$ 20% devaluation. You've developed massive overcapacity and chock-full warehouses; unilaterally devaluating the dollar is essentially pulling us out of business.

UBL was a lavishly funded friendly when he was 'freedom fighting' with the mujaheddin... too bad he turned out to be a terrorist like the other lot; but then it was the reds to play the role of the bad dudes.

BTW... when Saddam was fighting iranians he was US's best freind; do you beleive the asshole fought them with slingshots? I even have a nice jpg documenting Rumsfeld shaking hands with the bastard (this is strictly speaking a private enterprise initiative but undoubtedly some state support & evaluation was provided). Next time you want to comment on something try to avoid bitchy fox-addict texan redneck comments unless you don't want to sound ridiculous and pointless

I'm afraid an answer could be that Zion is another Matrix humming along to contain the unrecoverable. I personally hate such a perspective (I never liked Kafka either) but the spoon Neo receives in Zion makes me very suspicious...
-The human/battery/enerty thing (humans can live for years with a mostly dead brain in real life and support a body just fine - why the elaborate Matrix just to keep the mind going when it is unecessary?) Answer: You can't have the movie otherwise.
The whole battery thing stinks badly of executive interference; when the Matrix was just another scifi film that could have crashed 'n burned into late night cable-tv filler someone might have chosen to 'de-nerdify' some bits and stick a shameless plug fur duracell. The whole matrix shouts parallel computing and machines exploiting human for processing power but the more 'consumer-friendly' message was chosen instead. This iteration I think the Watchos had their hands free to stuff the turkey as they pleased thus this new Matrix: DragonBall-esque, RPG, hidden detail ridden anime comic... If Revolutions will be any good it will confirm that Matrix was just a No.0, and the real stuff is R/R.
Totally agree. The recursive matrix crap would catch on with cheap nasdaq executives who chime away at fractals, big bang loop etc, thinking they have a superior intelligence just because they read that sciam colourful diagram. Bah, the parent is right, Zion serves the purpouse of garbage collecting. I'm a bit worried though: Neo is special because he doesn't play by the Matrix API but unplugged he's just flesh & blood. How can he interface and destroy the machines? I'm wary about this...
You'd be surprised how much ethinc musical genres across europe and the middleast have in common. The rythm patterns also have loads in common with tribal rituals from other continents. There's a common instinctual layer in our music that hasn't changed since humans dwelled caves so why sould it happen in the Matrix future?

Well, isn't it time you ran the software update tool? There are a couple of vulns in Jaguar cured in recent updates that require a reboot so you really should plug to a lan and go for it;-)
I was told (I'm not a CS) that the microkernel concept came into being for this reason. Such a kernel is an orchestra of separate processes each managing one resource. When one fails a low level 'init' respawns it warning the other which one crashed. The system is still complex and vulnerable to domino effects but restricts a flaky driver from trying to 'kill the idle thread' (a linux panic message) and messing with other system resources. Like in hardware, sw complexity grows exponentially to the number of variables so partitioning does limit the effort required to master it. Example: RNS arithmetic hardware. A set of 4 parallel 8 bit adders will do the work; if the overhead of the i/o decoders is small this system is much faster and leaner than a full scale 32 bit adder.
Yo cool, I want my car designed like this! It could easily do with a lighter brake system and even manage to shave another 20 Km/h max speed. Is it worth it? Oh shure, it's what consumers want right?
you know, people here in Italy are really rave on DVDs. These are even sold at newspaper shops ( It. 'giornalaio') while the audio CDs are only available in less ubiquitous stores. Paradoxically, in my opinion, these video products are even more massmarket crap than the CDs are. Infact they are seasonal products as two months after a film goes off the siver screen, it pops up @ rentals and in a couple of months more it's everywhere, ready for replacement in just another bunch of weeks. So, back on topic, once consumers clear their pockets of their diposable income for DVDs there's no more left for CDs. Mind you, good music still sells (for me at least) but just as in the past people hoarded music to show off (perhaps just to their onanistic self) a new HiFi, today is game for DVDs to expound the virtues of the new Home Cinema. RIAA should ask damages to the MPAA as the latter's business model il drying up the former's revenue stream...

Well, isn't it time you ran the software update tool? There are a couple of vulns in Jaguar cured in recent updates that require a reboot so you really should plug to a lan and go for it ;-)
I was told (I'm not a CS) that the microkernel concept came into being for this reason. Such a kernel is an orchestra of separate processes each managing one resource. When one fails a low level 'init' respawns it warning the other which one crashed. The system is still complex and vulnerable to domino effects but restricts a flaky driver from trying to 'kill the idle thread' (a linux panic message) and messing with other system resources.

Yo cool, I want my car designed like this! It could easily do with a lighter brake system and even manage to shave another 20 Km/h max speed. Is it worth it? Oh shure, it's what consumers want right?
all caps is an nntp pet peeve and you (notice the lo caps... I'm not flaming you ;-) are asking me to go html? Huh?
you know, people here in Italy are really rave on DVDs. These are even sold at newspaper shops ( It. 'giornalaio') while the audio CDs are only available in less ubiquitous stores. Paradoxically, in my opinion, these video products are even more massmarket crap than the CDs are. Infact they are seasonal products as two months after a film goes off the siver screen, it pops up @ rentals and in a couple of months more it's everywhere, ready for replacement in just another bunch of weeks.
