Put our user agent and tarnish our reputation because we slack at work, horror! PS, the statistic you refer too will probably be collected when you(if) you fill out the registration, you know, where you say what computers you have running what. They have those registrations for a reason (well a few reasons) and one of them is to collect statistics (DUH)!
It can use more energy in the short run (system=the car) and still be more efficient in the big picture. If all that energy you put into it was pruduced from solor/wind/hydro power, or even mass produced combustion, then you are having far less impact.
I also question filtering the outgoing air, why not the incoming? unless there is a point with negative pressure in the exaust, and sucking stuff in the outpipe is bad.
correct, a contract is not valid if you give away your right to sue. Of course if your severence package is paid over time, your best not to rip up the contract. You benifit from the contract too, therefore you don't want to cry foul. If something does go wrong though, you can sue and they cannot stop you.
My friend just got that. We used to rent it years ago and spent the time since then looking to buy it. It was probably a 3 year project to find the actual cartridge at a good price (not a full time search though). I loved that game.
I remember the game, but not the name. At least the one I played. You could go to the cathedral and pray to the gods. If your prayer was owen citadel you got mad loot.
Contractions were sure as hell not allowed in my school, except for maybe like one essey a year that was informal. I always lumped english into spoken and written catagories. For spoken it had to SOUND good, and written it had to be correct. For IM am lumped as a sub spoken catagory, it didn;t even nead to sound good it it got the message across in less typing.
I am a very slow typer.
What you end up with is people who really want to learn morally justifiing it and not getting caught because they don't sell mass distribute. I mean the market of the situation allows kids like you and I to grey area legally (I mean it was educational purposes after all) and get the software. Without making it technically legal in any cases you make it harder for loopholes. Either way I think that this guy that they have here was not doing it for educational purposes, but was doing it for kicks. Like the transvestite, or the 8 year old smoking a cigarette. Also I am pretty sure that when I was a kid (8 years ago) most of the stuf was already available for free (through open source, and before I even heard of that there were free command line assemblers from borland I think, but deffinatly from someone.)
Of course I still do pirate stuff everynow and again, mostly giving games to my friend that likes them but won't buy them, I do nead someone to play with after all. Also I download a game everynow and again (with a modem none the less) mostly for bragging rights (It takes a good 3 days of work), actually I only pirated one game that I never went out and baught since Duke Nukem 3d (wich I never did buy).
Maybe you nead to qualify what you mean by commercial, because I spent quite a few hundred dollors on software under the age of 18. If I could have legally not paid I don't think anybody would have bennifitted (actually I would probably have been too stoned all day to even use the free stuff). Why should kids get software for free? why not college students? why not adults?
Exactly what I did. Sloket and celeron 1 gig on Ebay 89.00, 128 MB ram, like really cheap. Geforce 2 TI 40 ish on Ebay. Myh machine now works on everything I throw at it on max setting. I got upgraded for WarCraft III, but I really didnt nead to, the Beta had hella high requirments compared to the fully optimized release. I had a PII 450 slotted CPU 96 MB PC 100 RAM Matrox G400 16 MB Graphics card.
The army game was struggling, and now it runs better then our brand new DELL P4 2 Ghz machine with a Gforce 4 MX. I mean that is sad that they would cripple the mid range machines that badly with the crappy graphics card.
At the University I go to they give you a generous 2GB/day before they crack down, but it is explicitly stated that your net access is for school. You can get your limit increased if you can demonstrate a nead. The university could easily change that 2GB restriction to around 100MB and there really is no breach of contract. Of course, maybe where you go they say that you can have unlimmited access to the internet for personal stuff in the contract, but I somehow doubt it.
CD's are dirt cheap to make, and what really shocks me about the price is two things.
The first is that tapes still cost less then CD's, with very small quantities made, and a cost increase to the companies that is almost an order of magnitude.
The second is that cheap DVD's are cheaper the cheap CDs. Why the hell are old movies in the bargin bin 2 for 10 dollors, and semi old ones 10 to dollors each.
I got Blazing Saddles for 8.99. A CD from that era would still cost me 14.00 at the same store.
Why? is the MPAA really that much easier to deal with then the RIAA?
Don't get your panties in a bunch, if you really are running up2date you are not vulnerable. The people NOT running up2date are the problems, they are the ones getting ranted at. Not you.
That seams to be the exact reason they are deleying it, from the/. front page (and no deeper research). If they think they can tweak a bit more of high performance out of the XP, why doom it to low end prematurly? I mean if I ran the company I would do the same thing, actually I might keep the XP where it is and then release the Hammer as a cut above with the whatever those wierd Intel things are, then drop it to the PC market as soon as I got all I could out of the XP. Though what they are doing is at least reasonable.
Wouldn't this line "Typical lab prints don't seem to store much more than 200-250 pixels for each inch." from your linked article seam to support my premise that a 300 dpi image is going to give you a print as good as a photo? so you can't store as much data in a 300 dpi image as you can in a 35mm negative, you both are going to give you similar resaults, printed high res at home, or from the 1 hour photo. Also as your article says that the 1440 dpi is a single drop of one color of ink, and not a pixel.
I pulled the 200 dpi out of my ass, I admit it, and I was wrong about the grain from the film, but still, the grain in your average print is 200 dpi, as stated in your article, so it is safe to assume that for taking and printing your photos 200 dpi is enough.
The 600 dpi you list for a file would be better then a high quality photolab gets off of your precious 35mm film.
If you have a good clean image at 300 dpi you will not notice the difference at all. Where I work we do fine art reproductions of paintings on an epson 1440 dpi printer. The 2 by 3 foot scanner we use is only 150 dpi. The image foes not suffer. The higher dpi on the printer helps it with color blending, especialy certain yellow/gold/orange tones get wierd pixels of blue throughout them, that nearly go away when printed at (not from) higher resolutions. The grandparent to this post is totally correct, and you are wrong, it does not matter for photos one bit. Your grain on an indoor film at 5 x 7 is going to be around 200 dpi anyway.
I think the problem is that people are realy fucking dumb. We just baught a Lexmark multifunction POS. It comes with the most awful photo editing program I have seen period. It is like a weaker photoshop with no dumbing down. I tell my step Mom that she should get something like Photo Delux, which I think is awsome for people that don;y know what they are doing (My Grandmother has down good restorations with it, and never once asked for help). Well, apperently if the software costs more then 25 dollors it is "expensive". All I am thinking is "how the hell do you expect to pay 130 dollors after rebate for a scanner and a printer when a scanner alone is usually around 80 at least and a printer there too". Obviously corners are cut, the cheapest thing is usually the cheapest.
My point is that people think that they $100 for a printer that the company has already got 100 of their dollors, why is ink so expensive. But they buy a $250 PS2 and games hover around $50+ each for a long long time. Games on my computer very quickly drop to 40 and 30 dollors, and that is where I play most games because of that, I don't want a large chunk of what I pay going to the hardware company for hardwre I already baught.
I also have a Dream Cast, I naught it last X-Mass beacuse games were 15 to 30 dollors. For printing I go to Kinkos.
So more then just knoppix can autodetect beautifully and seamlessly, great. Why can't I do make autoconfig for my kernel then? That would be the totaqlly kick as thing to have happen IMHO. The fact that more then just knoppix got this down tells me it should be a trivial task.
I guess you illustrated my point really, I should have said internet connect computer is not a good venue, not just computer but still my point isn't that people don't want to pay so much, it's that what they are getting is not worth anything period. When I want music at the airport I don't want it on my laptop period, I want my laptop closed incase I have to move for one reason or another. I will take my music from a 50 dollor Diskman that can fit in my pocket, or a 100 dollor MP3 player that is even smaller. rather then deal with the pain in the ass that is opening and closing a laptop in an area filled with random people that I don't really trust.
In exchange for not recording you can stream anything whenever you want. I would personally pay for non recordable cable if I could do that, even if I was forced to sit through reasonable quantities of advertising. The problem with this is that the computer is not the optimum place to play music, nor watch TV. I wouldn't pay shit to have any cable at my computer, nor music.
If a program can pick what modules to load, I would imagine i could pick what to compile into the kernel if you had a check box that said no modules. Autodetect does not mean no user intervention. If you can give someone instructions on what to pick based on their hardware, the configuration can do the same by scanning and picking, and asking questions for what can't be scanned. And a checkbox, this is a high load server is so much harder to implement then Low latency?
Nobody wants to force you to use autodetect, they just want the option to do it. It might take you less then a minute, but it takes me closer to 30. And I have had positive expierience with autodetection in Linux, so why force me to go through and configure everything on my own? I don't use Linux because I can configure the kernel, I use it inspight of the fact that I must do so.

It is also playing in Philadelphia at the Ritz east, quite a few shows daily too.

And in most cities loud stereos are illegal. Whats your point?
