LOL, I was wondering what was going on in that pic of him! I assumed he was dropping a log into his Deskchair-let , you know those combo toilet / desk chairs for those hardcore computer users, so you don't have to get up.
Now if only they had 4 buttons instead of just A and B..
What about the "L" and "R" buttons?
I like my "old style" GBA, alot more comfortable, and is it that hard to find a light to play it near? I haven't done the mod only because I haven't had the need to.
Sure 3dMark is OK for a rough idea of your graphics throughput, but like you said some take it wayyyyy to seriously. Unfortunately, the testing methods you propose (albeit rational) aren't quite sexy enough to sell cards. And certainly unquotable for the magazine ads

I know you meant 3D apps, but these cards are used for 2D as well and seems to get overlooked in that arena at times.
....Which is probably why they are writing an story on it, tech-savvy or not, these things have the potential to screw-up your workplace, so any knowledge the reader can get on it is better than none. It may be dumbed down, but thats fine as long as the point gets across. I don't suspect they'll do a line by line assembler overview:)
As far as the code itself,(I was one of the "geeks" who read it right after it was made public), I never get tired of the drive that people who just want to cause havoc have. When you look thru the code and realize that all that damage can be done with a few meer Kb's and be completely memory resident(no tracks), you just have to chuckle in spite of yourself, all the CPU power in the world can be smacked hard by a wee bit of code. Ain't that life?:D
Verizon's in a no-win situation, if they give the info, they'll lose customers.....if they don't,well, litigation would most likely be on the horizon, and they don't wanna be the poster child for "why you(corporations) don't mess with the DMCA/RIAA/MPAA"
The real question is, which is the lesser of the two evils?
poor guy....I mean last years model??*snort* Shameful!
Given that an epidemic of illegal downloading is threatening the livelihoods of artists, songwriters and tens of thousands of other recording industry workers who bring music to the public
Epidemic? Gotta love that spin....If the artists weren't getting bent over by the RIAA in the first place, it'd be even less of an issue.
I've yet to hear of any artists or workers that are pan-handling or have become squeegee people....In other news the RIAA states that file-sharing is causing the sky to fall and the world to flatten!
Methinks Verizon will lose many a customer over this.
LOL, I'm not gonna debate the state the Dow with you, I meant not so much the math, but the attitude,confidence.....
IBM's announcement certainly cast a pall over things, since it reminds investors of the nasty days of last year when many companies were being investigated for accounting scandals and corporate malfeasance. The fact that IBM announced the probe is sobering," Scott Kuensell, managing director of Brandywine Asset Management, which oversees assets of $9 billion.
I agree that this will not be a big deal, though and SEC probes are not that uncommon
Its truly pathetic. You are truly pathetic. George Lucas, in my estimation, is a genious. He has managed to pull bits and pieces of mythology and form it into a cohesive and compelling universe that has enchanted millions for nearly 30 years! Lets see any of you do that, you little twerps.
Ahhhhh.....yes, the Joseph Campbell "myth".
Funny, back when it was all happening EP4,5,6 (or the first three movies) ol' Georgie wasn't talking about parallels to the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Odyssey et.al. Hell he used to laugh at anyone who dared say "Jedi"-ism is a religion of sorts.
Fast forward a bit, J.Campbell sees some parallels in SW to his area of expertese so far, makes Luke fit the heroes journey and Voila! Lucas is a genius and meant it all along. Riiiiiiight J.Campbell lends his "scholarly"-ness to the franchise and in some ways attempts to legititimize it as a work of fine art, in turn J.Campbell sees all of his works fly off the bookshelves due to the fanboy-rush who now know who he is.
As I was reading your post I Imagined it as a Get your war ON! comic
But the only flaw with your scenario is that the WMD-searcher needs the economy to get better, this IBM thing is slamming the DOW, which in turn hurts the economy and investor confidence
Lucas , you have to give him credit for more -or-less starting(or refining) the whole mass-merchandising thing, but its so spun out of control and just tired
This scam may have nothing to do with him, but its unlikely.
How many more "new editions" of Episode 1-5 releases are we gonna see after 6 comes out on DVD....with new,new,new deleted never before seen footage or something.
But, if you're willing to pay, thats your loss...
besides, Star Wars was cool when I was a kid, yeah the effects are slick, but the movies themselves are truly pretty weak, even the old ones, but again I was a KID then.
...ok...as tempting as it is to jump all over the obvious Sims references/jokes I'll say the guy must have some creativity. I mean its not like anyone can write for FOX, right?
*rimshot*
Alright it wasn't that easy to resist making a joke, but really, I'm sure he could drum up a decent show, anyone see any of the "MY Robot"?
Its unclear whether they are just in development or are available somewhere. The only skepticism I have is that there is such severe CRAP on TV now anyway, why would FOX of all networks signup something truly against whats "hot" right now? (ie. Joe-masked-millionaire-secret-anna-osbournes-frien ds-season-82-F-list-celebrity-hoedown)
.......and its been known that they don't like us poking around their planet, damn, last time that Marvin guy was trying to get us with "an earth shattering KABOOM!"
I think the aftermath of an untagged sarcastic remark is even funnier than the punchline.
So true!
Problem is, here in the US of A things are a bit wacky right now with the economy in the shitter, crazy ass tax reform plans, Patriot Act and the like, a recent war against an "imminent threat" where 2 months later of occupation we've yet to find 1 single gram of WMD agents, or have yet to get Saddam OR Osama (remember him?)"dead or alive", so many end up being, how to say it nicely, "over-sensitive"
That being the case, sad as it is, still should not curb the use of fine sarcasm! With us second guessing the use of sarcasm......well then, the terrorists already WON!
Same here, but no powerslides for me:), but after years of the classic games and heavy FPS games I can tell that I can follow things in my peripheral vision and anticipate where they're moving, I've been lucky in 12 years of driving I've only had 1 accident (which was due to new driver cockiness)...now that I said that I probably just screwed my streak:D
Nothing is funnier than watching an aggressive driver "juke" in and out of traffic, noly to end up right next to you at the next traffic light
I hear their next patch improves on this already impressive security, it shorts your power supply causing the PC to turn off, you can't get much more secure than that!
the AC post below yours had it about right....some poor schmuck makes the grave mistake of trying to be helpful on Slashdot, who is then systemically tore apart by anal nit pickers "doesn't work on my machine..." , so instead of them finding out for themselves why it's not working on their machine, they continue to berate the original poster as if he just posted the most heinous error.
I agree with you that it is shitty that MS plays around with stuff like that and that you have to munge around to get answers....
....and on a side note, I have heard of a fly marrying a bumblebee:)
Any other windows" includes variants that have a completely different architecture from NT5. Your suggestion is prima facie absurd.
I'll assume you're talking the win98 msconfig?
Gasp!!, it does work, sure you won't be editing config.sys and autoexec.bat (since its not there), but yes, it will work. It appears your suggestion is prima facie-ier absurd:D

Either way, fiber would probably help him out.

The RIAA are now the equivalent of the bullies who take lunch money, classy!

At least thats how I see it.... :p
