I can't speak for the ISO's, but the MD5SUM is identical to the one that's been appearing on the mirrors in the last few days. GPG signature checks out aswell.
The closer an object is to the galactic center, the more orbits it will complete in a given timeframe. So stars, even very near stars, will drift away fairly quickly.
The exceptions are objects that share the exact same orbital path of our Sun (I would imagine this is rare), or objects that orbit eachother -- like planets, or binary star systems. Those will stay together while orbiting the galactic center.
It was removed from UT, UT2003 and Q3 a few months after each was released. This means D3 will probably still have the cd-check but it may eventually be removed like in Q3. It's interesting to note that the Linux version of UT2004 does not have this 'feature' while the Windows one does.
Your right tho, they shouldn't do it at all. It doesn't accomplish anything. If people are going to copy it, they'll find a way. Myself and everyone I know usually have to install cracks or patches just to play our legally bought games without having to keep bring out the disks. Sometimes the CD checks are so badly writtin that even with the disks we cannot play them - so we *have* to install the patchs.
The old Panasonic CF-41 (a 486 based laptop) has a sleep function that works perfectly with any OS. I'm not sure how it works, but it works really well. Because of it, my 486 laptop's uptime is now better than my server.
Anyone here know if/when this will be avaliable in the UK? Sharp UK seems a bit reluctant to sell the Zaurus range here, with the 5500 being the only one I ever seen on sale here - and only for a short while. I managed to get one just before they discontinued it.
I've been looking forward to getting this new one ever since I read the review of the beta model! 640x480 on a PDA? Nice!
If your using Mozilla, right click on that image and 'View Image'. For some bizarre reason they rescale the image in the HTML and it really kills the fonts.
Unless your browser has smooth scaling! Wasn't Mozilla suppost to have added that a while back?
Linux still has some huge, gaping holes--holes that Windows plugged almost a decade ago
Microsoft didn't plug these holes, well not all of them anyway. The soundcard manufacturers did. They had to, or nobody would buy the card. Perhaps in the very early days MS made a few to try and make Win95 more bearable.
Seriously tho, c'mon Slashdot!. Even a simple banner!

That's a really low frequency. Is it a concidence that it's wavelength is the almost the same as the circumference of the Earth? Or is that the whole reason it works?
I remember reading that there was a frequency you could tune to and listen to 'all the lightning all over the world'. Anyone know what the frequency is?
Is their bandwidth savings worth the hoops they make their customers jump through?
They don't do it for the saving, they do it because most browsers will try to play a.MOV file in the browser window when you click on it. Putting it in a ZIP means the browser will download it.
Sure they save a huge big 1Mb, and you get a file integrity check thrown in for free!
Funny you should mention that, I was watching Sci-Fi's Dune movie last night and I'm sure the same room with the same people got destroyed about three times.
And those painted backdrops... the paintbrush marks where clearly visible!

MPEG-4 is as open as MP3. That's open in the 'pay the patent owners for the right to make an encoder/player' sense.

I hope you never see the Listerine Tooth Fairy advert. I can't seem to find a picture, but imagine a 'dodgy geezer' tooth fairy from London.

After sixty years of rocketry, the things still barely work
Barely work? You've been watching to many Road Runner cartoons.

Don't forget the Lunar eclipse on 4th of May!
Not quite as special but definitly more dramatic!
Would make an excellent movie!

Next we need to find the ancient alien spacecraft that crashed on Mars
Tip for future explorers if your on this mission: If you name is Kane, don't go into the ship.
Just take off, and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
should be shelved until the problems on Earth are dealt with
If we wait for that, we'll never learn anything about our universe except how imperfect humans are.

Been there. Done that.
Yea, but that reduced the audience to slaves aswell. Hopefully this won't.
