It also bugs me when people say "an historic" instead of simply "a historic," as in "that's quite a historic event." (Try saying it out loud both ways.)
But language is an evolving invention of the people and not a set of rules defended by an elite crackerjack force of grammar gnomes. Although it pains me to say it, I believe "it's" has now become an acceptable way to write the possesive of "it," for example, given that nearly everyone does it.

I'm afraid I have to agree. Back when I worked in an office, a Win2k system would regularly give a BSoD with atirage.dll as the offender.
My wife's snazzy new Inspiron laptop has ATI video on it. Just this morning it BSoD'd on WinXP with ati3d2ag.dll as the culprit. And this isn't doing any 3D, nifty transparency, or anything that'd stress any decent driver software.
Call me a troll, but anyone who says ATI doesn't suck works for ATI.

Yes, I'm trolling. You would too, if you had to deal with Oracle on a daily basis---contractual obligations, you see. (Where's my MySQL when you need it?)
With the current political climate, your best bet is to do absolutely nothing. People are arrested for expressing opinions, others are denied due process for free speech, and still others are deemed terrorists for even the slightest questioning of a government's actions. Corporations mandate what can and cannot be done and are happily funded by a more sheepish and numbed people, armed with a more sheepish and willing set of so-called representatives.
Do nothing. Sure, you can pat yourself on the back for your ingenuity, but file your discoveries away in your mind. The world cannot tolerate them now.
From the article: Those distances were verified on the spot by contest staff using GPS coordinates and a verbal encryption scheme at both the base camp location and at the field location.

I have to wonder why so many people are concerned about noise in an HTPC.
My HTPC has a 6 drive RAID array and 9 cooling fans with just under a terabyte of storage. It runs fairly cool for all it does (HDTV decoding and recording, media library, analog video capture, MP3 serving). Yet you can't hear it at all in the home theater.
Why? Because it's in another room. Seriously folks, just stick your HTPC in a closet and run long cables. Even at 75 feet, 1080i HDTV carried over component video looks amazingly sharp.
My (first) senior year as an undergraduate double BS major (computer science and technical communication) saw me wasting more time than ever before instead of finishing that damn Pascal compiler for CS423 (Compiler Construction).
I was inspired by two things: (1) the health-related pamphlet from the university's nurse's office about how important sleep was, and (2) a friend from the (then) Hong Kong who seemed to be wide awake at 3am while I was conking out.
I ended up shifting my schedule to avoid most social interaction outside of class. Yes, this will make you a generally unavailable outcast. You might be lucky enough (as I was) to be fairly friendly with a large number of people; your subsequent abscnece will make you more so.
The trick: Go to be around 5pm. Wake around 1am.
It's pretty easy to start; just stay up late one night. Go to bed when finally exhausted. Wake up at your usual time, then you'll be tired early in the evening. Set your alarm for 1am, and go to sleep. Around 1am, you'll feel a bit groggy, but by day number 2, you're already on the schedule.
It's absolutely amazing how much you can get done when there's no one else to talk to. Really. I'd talk to my partner in the compiler project on where he'd left off, and he'd wander off to sleep. Then I'd take over and code up a thousand brilliant, wide-awake LOC. By the end of the semester, our compiler passed every test case the professor threw at it.
I kept with this "anti-social" schedule through the remaining three semesters of my senior year and got my two BS degrees (not a double major) with highest honors. It works.
You want to get stuff done? Drop the social life, shift your schedule, and work your butt off from 1am on.
Sensational headline, don't you think Timothy?
Swiss Researchers [i]exploited[/i] a password flaw?
I guess you could argue they [i]exploited[/i] it in order to publish their research results, as much as a planetary scientist exploits images of Mars to publish a new theory on subsurface water.
It's nice to see a consumer product support timeshifting of HDTV material. Along with a plethora of HDTV programming, this might be a nice step towards making widespread availability a reality.
Myself, I ended up building my own, centered around the MyHD card and a RAID array with about a terabyte of available storage. Music, movies, and HDTV. Technology's wonderful!
The name's too long. DragonFlyBSD? Come on! I'm not even sure where to capitalize the letters! It's bad enough the "OpenBSD" is as long as "FreeBSD", but spoken it's an extra syllable. I'll stick with NetBSD. Yeah. Nice and short!

So much for Nvidia cashing in on Xbox chips.
And, so much for ATI crashing on Xbox chips.
