really? I keep on hearing stories of Japanese people coming to the US to buy electronics since Japanese companies significantly reduce the prices on some of those things before exporting it here, I guess "dumping" on the market is what it's called...
Erm, G5 is based on POWER4, and now that IBM has POWER5 shipping, its perfectly reasonable to speculate on the next generation POWER5 derivative to replace the 970 chip, which IBM/Apple may choose to dub as G6 -_-' All IBM has to do is decrease the Gate-Oxide layer, throw on Alti-Vec, and voila (hehe, not that simple with all the bridge designs and such, but you get the idea)
Um, I am under the impression that there was a recent court ruling which stated that instant messaging logs, without expressed consent of the party that sent it, cannot be kept. So Employeers are now going to make people sign agreements saying "we have the right to monitor your IMs"?!?
The MyHDTV MDP-100 and the newer MDP-120 from MIT are some of the best solutions on the market thus far. It's only useful to review the new ATI tuner against MDP-120. Once AIW-HDTV X800xt or whatever comes out, I might be interested...
it's just a matter of time before academic papers are generated by GAs, and whoever think of it first will have a endless supply of funding at the expense of other guys:-P
in which world does letters follow numbers? did your mommy teach you to count ABCD after 6789? or did your elementary school teacher told you so? The most common ways to associate them are the two ways I specified, and my reply was an "extension" of what he said. The reason I called him an ass is that his joke was stupid.
unfortunately you do not recognize my sarcasm...practice my friend, practice makes perfect. At least somebody recognizes amusement when he read it.
If I recall, some grad-students somewhere did a (thesis?) paper on E = mc^2 recently (within the last year or so), stating that it's off by some factor which they derived... dunno where you'll have luck finding it, but it should be somewhere on the shelves of your local university library.
last I checked, A doesn't follow 9, : does (on the ascii table), unless you want to do Hex, where X is nowhere to be found. (since you want to be an ass)
more like needs major work. I'm willing to bet that my Win XP isn't the only machine that this build won't even launch on!!! 2 nights ago, I got the latest nightly build for 0.9 and had the same problem you described. When I d/l the new version and ran the exe, I just get the hourglass mouse cursor continuously and the program comes in and out of the task manager, so I can't even terminate it w/o log-out! Time to go back to 0.8 until they get this little-bitty-bit problem fixed!
*sound like Wakko* "Time for another good idea, bad idea. good idea: post PDF online to save time bad idea: have the PDF get/."

Oh, and another thought regarding auto-patches... First, you can ALWAYS give user a choice to turn the damn feature off instead of incessantly debating on it's usefulness. Second, at big corporate sites, updates are examed by IT first, then issued, so plenty of problems will still be there even if auto-patch is implemented.
unless u put in a new engine in the Civic, it's not going to out perform a Farrari!!! along the same token, if you oc the hell out of the P2, it's not going to out perform the P4 (not that I think P4 is a good chip)
Point is, best thing to do is a little bit of research for the best performance/price ratio and go from there. About a year ago, I built a Barton 2500+ with G4Ti4800, 1GB of PC2700 RAM (Kingston), 4x DVD+-RW, WD1200JB for under $1k, and it's still a descently good system a year later, with good upgrade potential. (Which i'm not going to really bother with...probably in another year or two, I'll build a PCI-Express based system when the technology matures a bit) Applying the same analogies to cars, I'm eyeing for the Infinity G35 stick-shift. For $3-5k less than the BMW325i, I get comparable performance. Then again, I hear BMW3s are getting new engines and design soon, so we'll see... It's about what make sense, and the extremes are either for the filthy rich, or the pure hobbist.
Saikano and Macross Zero are the two outstanding ones from post 1998...you can maybe throw in Wolf's Rain, Niea Under 7, and that one with all the girls and thier cute little angle wings (forgot the name 'cuz everyone told me to watch it, but I didn't get around to). Oh, and I liked The Cat Returns better than Spirited Away. Otherwise, I don't like the fact that CLAMP became so mainstream since MKR (CCS in particular. X and Chobits were alrite), and Gainax to some extend after Eva (Mahoromatic I was reasonably good, II was just "another sequel". Kare Kano...no comment)
Then again, if you look pre-1998, what was good? Eva, Bebop, Now and Then Here and There, Jin Roh, Gainax movies (as always), Macross Plus OVA, Lain was all I can think of...
what's wrong with 130bpm songs? have u even tried Exotic Ethnic? A lot of the "slow" 9 and 10 footers have a ton of 1/2, 1/4, even 1/8 steps, making 100bpm songs 200/400/800 bpm effectively. (Survivor Maxx is what? 330 at 1/2 steps? try beating that w/o bar-raping) point is to slowly improve and play at the hardest difficulty...the faster the songs, the less coordination required, and more it's based on reflexes, and vice versa.
While I was waiting around for my interview at Intel to start, I picked up one of those "semiconductor" magazines lying around and laid eyes on something I can't figure out how they can easily resolve.
At 65nm, the problem of quantum tunneling begins to take effect. The Oxide thickness is only 10nm, which means that the gate suffers more from quantum tunneling (leakage current) than the source-drain. Also, assuming you don't have a Gate voltage, the voltage difference between Source-Drain can cause an inversion layer to form at the Drain to exacerbate the current leakage between source-drain.
With that said, anyone got a clue why this submersion may resolve the problem or any other possible solutions?
They don't need to. As someone mentioned before, China's majority market is still VCDs, and if EVD player plays DVDs and sell for 120-160RMB cheaper, (~US$15-20) there will be 0% marketshare for DVD players. You probably haven't been to south-east Asia where defacto-standard encodings are everywhere, and supported by everyone's home player except those outside of Asia... If they can grab India market, that'll account for what? 40% of world's population? Who cares 'bout the rest of the world...
It's not 'bout being stubborn, it's 'bout not having all the useful features of OS 9 built-into OS X. Don't mean to be a troll, but if you are a Linux user, chances are, you are used to an OS that's just an "OS" and not have as much "features", so changing to OS X is a move to make life easier...that is if you use M$ Office etc.
But for OS 9 users, Apple took away pop-up folders, which is MUCH more useful than the dock AND Launcher. Apple took away control-strip, which I still miss after almost a year of OS X. Apple took away spring-loaded folders until Jaguar. Apple took away Laser-Writer 8, so now you HAVE to know the printer IP when on the LAN. Have you tried to copy the content of a data DVD to the Mac? It's on par with maybe a 1x DVD-ROM...and the list goes on. Oh yeah, let's not forget that OS X.1's monitor driver doesn't support my ViewSonic! So I was forced to stick with OS 9 on my desktop 'til this summer, when I tried X.1.5 after re-formatting my hd, and it finally worked... There are numerous programs that are still OS 9 only, especially profession-specific ones.
I appreciate many of the things in OS X, but there are times where I wish I didn't have to deal with some of the extra "features" and get the useability of OS 9 back...
Anyone own the original DVD released in Japan? Does it include English translation on it? if so, where can I get it? I recently watched the DVD rips w/subtitles...it was great! It's the most imaginative piece from Miyazaki. Still though, Nausicca is the #1 all time Ghibli fav for me, followed by Porco Rosso.
Can you point me to the technical papers that states iPod uses a hardware mp3 decoder? To my understanding, Apple states that the iPod can handle multiple audio formats with a simple firmware upgrades, which suggests to me that it uses software for mp3 and other forms of decoding. (When building my MP3 player for an EE class project, one of the TAs did a CPU cycle count and found that MP3 decoding can be done on an 9Mhz 80188 chip, along with a basic UI.)
Given that you don't really need to reboot OS X except once a week, and the memory management system is really well done, why not just leave QT running all the time? saves the trouble of waiting for it to launch as well.
Hmm...Office X sales are lagging...I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that Office X Upgrade was on back-order for over a month at most major software retailers after it's initial release. It might also have a certain amount of influence on upgrading to OS X...just maybe...
As for iChat/MSN Messenger...There are MUCH better alternatives out there...I use Fire, which handles ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, IRC, and Jabber. MSN Messenger was the first thing that I deleted after installing Office X...
Ahh, the wonder of college dorms... 2 years ago, someone came across a derivation of tetris called sextris...where you put guys and girls together in certain positions...one of my favoriate implementations of the game! (did i mention moaning sounds?)

The company formerly known as Bungie never wrote games for CISC before (until one day, they decided to port over older games like Marathon to Wintel)
