microsoft was succesful because they care for *selling* a product rather than selling a *product*. that's why they wanted to sell their toy of an OS while IBM wanted to continue development. first to market first to resell their own product with a different paintjob. microsoft is succesful because that is what they targeted. selling. if they wanted to make great programs they would harvest every cutting edge algorithm relative to computing known to mankind .
Then again... if i go over and explain the situation to them (explain what to do to secure it etc) maybe afterwards they will listen if i politely ask them to mind others with their noise (music, scooter, yells)
They rob me of quiet and peace. i never make noise. They gun their 50cc twostroke scooters at 2am. i spent 100 bux (70 euros give or take) to fix my car's muffler so it is SILENT where they PAY to make them louder. they toss their garbage wherever they like. i try to recycle. the rest of the apartment block is drenched in tobaccosmoke stench. when/if i smoke i make sure to neutralize the smoke.

In fact, during my tests, I dropped the nano several times, deliberately, from a height of about 3 feet, and it didn't miss a beat. I also wore it around my neck on the lanyard during a couple of hours of pounding treadmill exercise, and it never skipped or froze.
I have a KT880 chipset mobo, with 512MB of 400MHz ram at CL2, with an athlon xp mobile cpu running at 8.5x200 = 1.7GHz ( stock 14x100 geez). A Geforce fx5700le 128MB (stock 225/400) oc'ed to 475/475 (yes, that is more than twice the core clock. rock stable. at 500/500 doom3 crashes.)
WHY can't i run the timedemo demo1 usecache "benchmark" with: projectile lights, shadows, turboshadows, ultrashadow, optimized shadows all set to 1 usecache, 128MB cache, etcetcetc but without AF without AA without vsync (just to see what the card can do), 640x480 also i set the NV20 renderer path (because D3 autoselects ARB2 which looks like SHIT and is VARY SLOWAR) at over 26fps?!?! the hell? i always get 26 and it's not just that, it's that in action (imp throws fireball. i use projectile lights but even with that disabled i gain *1* fps more. and even that is debatable.) i can't get higher than 12!! this is ridiculous! i can play any other game i can remember off the top of my head at 1024x768 with 8xAF at 30fps *STEADY* with FULL FSCKING DETAIL (nfs:u, max payne2, painkiller, etc)
my friend has an 2800+ barton core (Stock) on nF2U chipset 1GB of 333MHz CL2.5 mem dual channeled Ti4200 64MB stock and he gets 36fps with the same game settings as me?!?
oh and setting 4xAF on the timedemo benchmark lost me *2* fps (went from something like 25 to 23.3)
can the limit REALLY be the CPU?!?! Can it be that doom3 detects my card as a 64M one? (wtf? even windows, which i don't trust to tell me the free space i have on my hard drive reports the vidmem correctly, and doom3 detects it wrong?) and WTF is with the 60Hz *monitor* refresh lock?!?! FUCK YOU carmack! my fucking eyes hurt! what does your physics engine tic (WTF?!? hardcoded timesteps!?!) have ANYTHING to do with the monitor refresh?! in EVERY SINGLE OTHER GAME i have played in my life on my pc i have either 100Hz (SVGA) or 120Hz (VGA) refresh rate! (IRRELEVANT what the fps are. i want a steady image.)
(p.s. latest drivers, blah blah win XP home DX9b no progs running )
hibernation means dumping physical ram (if you are to optimise for speed you might as well dump only the part that's used... no need to dump unused mem) to a file on a hard drive (which does not need power to retain data) and prepares the bootloader to do whatever it is necessary.
in short, you can very well dissassemble the entire pc in turn it inside out, whatever. The next time you power it on it will go on from where you left it. It could do some preparation to bring the machine to a hibernation-ready state, i dunno... hibernating in the middle of my game renders my system unbootable the next time...(xp)
but don't change the HW configuration. I don'tthink that would be a safe thing to do.

you can't possibly expect proper coffee when you (try to) brew it at 140oF
pay the price
not a hero, unless you die
there are others, pick whichever sounds awesomer to you

First, you can make good iced coffee using cold extraction.
and then... warm it in the microwaves?
the whole deal with that case is absurd.
you should take care of what you order.
if someone put his eye out with his fork do we sue the restaurant?
180F is 80C it's not even acceptable for brewing coffee.
140 is lukewarm. i take baths in water hotter than that.

I installed the beta, enabled jit in about:config for both options, and i get the same performance in the raytracer here http://mark.webster.googlepages.com/jsrt-anim.html

what gives?

What remains to be seen is whether HL2 will have realistic shadows like D3.
the shadowing is what makes D3 worthwhile and it is the gift carmack has given to the gaming world.
mad props to him
i run my athlon xp 1600+ (1.4GHz) laptop WITHOUT a fan.
yessir... a fanless athlon xp.
have clocked it down to 300MHz with cpumsr...
