Babies born in winter are a result of springtime mating. This would suggest that their parents are fraught more with biological factors such as instinct than intelligence. Or, like my wife and I, both above 130 IQ, just had a lot of sex during spring break. That resulted in our beautiful, healthy, and intelligent boy being born in January of 2008.
yep, since the police hold no jurisdiction on the Internet, there is no possibility of someone being caused harm by someone claiming to be someone else.
if you put a bunch of people in a room together and ask them to play a game, that's called a lan party.
If there's no multiplay aka (social aspects) then it would be pretty boring pretty quick.
Games were always plot and gameplay driven. Then the japanese started making random gameplay simulators and the graphics were a toddler feast and people who had no attention span anyway started playing them and thought they were fun because those people lacked the higher brain function to realize that performing a mundane task over and over with catchy music is still a waste of time.
Then the Internet allowed netplay. That was the social aspect of the game. Geeks and well, geeks played for hours a night.
When technology started catching up and Carmack made games into something badass, more people wanted to play. When G4 started up, mainstream started catching on and that's when the corporate fat cats decided to exploit it. Now for developers, games are just like movies are for actors. It's like Favreau said to Affleck: First you make the money picture, then you make the art picture. Well now it's the same for games. Only, the games that are art are a bit lacking these days. For me, 90% of a game is plot.

Toyota should buy Paice for pennies and then their patent will be owned by Toyota.
Simple.
If you think about it, physx works on all 8 series and up.
That's a $30 card for physx support. I wonder if I can do this since I have a spare x16 port on my machine.
I don't really know if this will work though.
All these advances in speed and yet consumer ISPs can't seem to offer more than 6Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up for less than $70 a month.
If Internet bandwidth were like hard drives, we would have passed the $1/Mbps mark last year. Instead, it's still $30/Mbps.
What are these companies doing with these multiple Tbps backbones right now if consumers are being bottle-necked on purpose?
Google was right to defend its policy. I hope they appeal to the 9th circuit court.
The bank was clearly on the wrong side.
I can only wonder if this user suffered monetary damages due to his email being deactivated.
I hope this judge gets censured. This is clearly an abuse of power and an abuse of process.
Luckily, the user can sue the bank for abuse of process.

Don't they have penicillin in Chicago? really? This guy died from studying the plague and it didn't occur to him to get some antibiotics?

Any opinion is protected by the first amendment.
If the police are trying to silence opinion, that's all the more reason for allowing it.
These tactics are applied in Iran and North Korea. And now, apparently Austin, TX.

when you put it that way, it sounds like rush-hour traffic
When I first heard of this many months ago, I thought, dumbest idea ever!
Now, especially after seeing their site and watching the intro vid, it dawned on me how amazing this could be.
IF, and big IF, they can get a great handle on latency issues both visually and control latency, this could be bigger than xbox360 or ps3 or PC games.
This is what the cloud is for. Since all games are run in a data center, multiplayer lag is non-existant. It's like all players are local.
I am really hoping I get to try out the beta. This could change the entire gaming industry.
right, then how did they adjust dishonesty?
They just adjusted from 11.3% to 16.3%
Where did they get this 5% of people lie on surveys figure?
so then, if you take 16.3% and plug it in...
192/1176 * 18.3M ~=3M
that's still far less than 7 million people. The ath don't madd up! ;p
These voting systems are all built on microsoft access database applications.
There isn't even a presumption of security on these machines. They are designed to be able to steal elections.
The prosecutors in the case are arguing that the city's computer systems are more valuable than human life?
If that's the case, then yes, certainly the bail is appropriate.
If not, then the bail is entirely inappropriate.
that would be four billion dollars to those of us who speak human!
Imagine if they spent that cash on development instead?
gamers don't need TV commercials.
Madden and other crap franchises are the bulk of the ad budget.
The cable industry thinks this is a victory. It is for them, it's a huge loss for consumers.
Cable companies aren't forced to enhance their infrastructure to handle the extra subscribers, so consumers get lower quality service.
The subscriber cap was meant to preserve the quality of service for consumers. Now there is no recourse.
The stimulus bill that was passed requires any firm getting stimulus money for infrastructure upgrades, to follow the FCC's net neutrality tenets.

both these nics are supposed to have this functionality.
I happen to provide outsourced IT services and administer servers remotely.
My clients place the utmost trust in me. I provide the services all myself.
I guess it would be different if there were a large company involved.
Placing your trust in a company with remote administration is sometimes a good idea and usually a bad idea.
If it's really that important, give your outsourced admin an office in your building. Make him work from your site.
If you find you can't justify the costs of keeping him on-site, you should probably hire your own IT director who can either do it all.
I have been a prime member of amazon.com since they introduced the program.
If murdoch starts demanding other sorts of information to boost his other businesses, I say they buy his shares back.
Murdoch is no good for business in the 21st century.
If he was, they'd all be profitable.

They're attending a security convention with id cards that can be read from their pockets.
It's a good thing they didn't have rfid credit cards.
If it can be done, it will be done.
the battery manufacturer and apple.
their battery doesn't last long enough under load.
Apple's mac book doesn't keep the battery cool enough under load.
