these devices will carry a "Powered by nVidia" sticker and I seriously doubt that nVidia would allow manufacturers to use these chips and disable the features.
We know that nVidia prefers a unified driver structure. I doubt they'd make special drivers for certain devices.
didn't those subscribers sign up for unlimited usage?
someone's getting sued.
Someone has to challenge the legality of the "terms subject to change without notice" clause. This essentially is not a contract if its terms can change.
but most of them don't. There are congressmen who are simply industry shills. Or, congresswhores as I like to call them.
#1 on the list? Howard Berman.
Though mostly to blame are all of congress who passes legislation written by industry lobbyists.
It's happening now. Industries are lobbying congress to pass legislation which protects their business model, no matter how outdated it is.
This, according to Mussolini, is fascism. I agree. Corporations have become the government. They are in government only to protect and enforce being profitable.
If they aren't profitable, they break the law. And much like Darth Sidious, they will "Make it legal!"
As far as I'm concerned, some industries have gone way too far and are in gross violation of the constitution. The oil companies are all in collusion to fix prices. Since all we know about market economies says competition should be driving prices lower at some point.
The media industry buys senators and representatives off so they pass bills for them.
Corporations are anti-citizen. They are letting the American economy stagnate by investing in foreign nations. When you pay salaries to foreign workers, that money doesn't re-enter the American economy. It enters foreign economies. But it always trickles to the top. I think congress should mandate a law that states that "No employee of a corporation may make more than 10 times what the lowest paid employee makes". This would go a long way towards increasing the profits of corporations. Once executives stop making million dollar bonuses, that money can go back into the company.
If the CEO wants a raise, everyone gets a raise. If that's possible, it's because the whole company is extremely profitable. If not, the CEO shouldn't benefit for not producing results.
Since ubisoft owns the assassin's creed franchise, I'd love to see the new Prince of Persia games use that engine, world, and dynamic.
AC is a seriously revolutionary game. It's the first of its kind to use the mechanics of those platform type games in a 3d setting so fluidly that it feels extremely natural.
Now that I think of it, it's what POP really always should have been. So, I hope they take the franchise there.
AC is definitely in my top 5 favorite games of all time. POP, while a lot of fun, should aspire to become like AC.
Thank you for just getting us. Thank you for steam. Thank you for the bad-ass games. Thank you for understanding your demographic. Thank you for supplying the demand. Thank you for adapting. Thank you for providing metrics. Thank you for convincing other publishers to use steam. I really like this cloud system. It makes playing games on other computers accessible and easy. Go to a gaming cafe and continue your SP games at will. All games should be released over steam.
We're avid steam users.
The system is near perfect. I think you should add a secondary logon system. IMHO, vac needs an appeals system.
I installed vista business on my machine as a test. It failed miserably. I must assume you are running basic on-board hardware? It ran on my high end hardware for 3 hours before it bluescreened on me while surfing the net. Then it would not boot again. I had to run my xp install and run chkdsk on that drive before it would boot again. Not quite good enough.
That being said, all of my internet downloads of drivers and applications like the 3dmark vantage I just bought took forever because the new TCP/IP implementation doesn't quite work right. On a computer and Internet connection that routinely downloads at over 500KBps in xp, I could barely get 80KBps from US server and only european servers allowed more than 200KBps.
That being said, Vista's so-called security is just a big joke. I can't access my user profile, but a software install from the Internet can! There are 2 levels of access higher than administrator, neither of which you can access!
Vista falls so far below the mark, you are either paid by microsoft to post stuff like this, (with the inconspicuous Linux/AIX comment thrown in) or you are completely ignorant.
the FBI had spent $500 Million for these sort of upgrades. If verizon only cost them $2.9 million, and the other carriers cost only slightly more, where's the other $475 million dollars?

Could be good, but how do we get there to collect the eezo?
some suit will see the light and cancel this turd in utero.
I will definitely be getting one of these tegra powered devices.
Hopefully, a phone. And, hopefully it won't cost $400.
really, a smart phone with that chipset should only cost about $200.
with 1080p tv/video and gaming.
entirely agreed. Media defender is violating federal computer security laws. The DOJ should sue them into submission.
but most of them don't. There are congressmen who are simply industry shills. Or, congresswhores as I like to call them.

the first of the series was "Prince of Persia" published in 1989 by Jordan Mechner.
Sands of Time was a next generation title based on the original game.
what laws did they break?
They lied about who they were. network solutions gave them access.
as far as I can see, all they did was lie. is that against the law?
network solutions should be held accountable.

no more ridiculous than using 420 in your nickname!
The half-baked idiot telling me to read eh?
Virtual Machine!!!!!! DUH!
PDA drop-off zone eh? more like the PDA search zone. They plan on searching through all the devices for incriminating evidence obtained illegally.
I think the Brits should fight back and take back their country from big brother.
the problem comes in typing on the crappy little keypads.
but a nokia 8xx series tablet should take care of that for you.
I personally use a nokia n80ie. It's tough to type on, but it has wifi.
When I bought my new dell inspiron 1520 notebook, I got XP.
so maybe 99.9999999999%

I think you're just ignorant.
wtf is "they seems to"?
yeah, I was just thinking this as I read it.
can your eyes see one billionth of a gram?
mine can't
w00t. The EULA is toast.
just because your contract wasn't negotiated properly, doesn't mean you should whine and get more.
You got paid more for one gig than I've made my entire life. quit your fucking whining. You big fat douche.
encrypted thumb drive.
use truecrypt and create an encrypted file on a thumb drive. then if it gets lost, no one can retrieve it.
Google give you a place to enter literally all of your private medical information. maybe this isn't such a good idea.
since the information should be private, why would you voluntarily give that information out?
There doesn't seem to be any purpose to the site other than collecting your personal information.

we know where the real theft is. forcing someone to pay thirteen thousand times its value is theft.
