I played UT on a 300 MHZ celeron with a tnt1 and had no problems whatsoever. (it was usually clocked to 464, but after I zapped the motherboard, I had to run it at 300 on the replacement part). It ran at a steady 30-40 fps. It was fast enough to always be fluid. Except for when I ran a few 3rd party maps.
Trust me, the single player version isn't worth worth waiting and isn't worth paying for. Just 10 or 12 hours of bland, generic fps. Good graphics through most of it, but nothing really memorable in terms of gameplay or story. And their fantasy style enemies suck hard (half the game - about 4 hours worth - was fighting zombies instead of nazis. And don't even get me started on those stupid electric torsos.)
from what I understand, there's a lump of tissue in the brain that generally atrophies at around 2 years old. It's the part that helps infants with visual processing in the prelingual stages of life, and usually it just kind of "goes away." I've read of correlations between that tissue remainig and children being diagnosed with forms of autism. (I don't remember where. It might have been mentioned somewhere on the web or in Temple Grandin's book "Thinking in Pictures") Nobody really knows why that tissue remains, though. Might be genetic, might be due to certain vaccinations, or something not even thought of yet.
anyway, that would lead me to believe it's not a reproducable chemical state but an actual difference in the neural interconnectivity that leads to an autistic state of mind, hence my belief that it is an evolutionary process.
When they tested castle bravo, they were expecting a 2-3 megaton yield. When they actually detonated it, they got a 10-12 megaton blast. Sometimes when developing under unknown circumstances, the goal can be overshot. Those who are unable to exist in society are selected out. We who are left, are left because we are flexible enough to blend in. to see me on the street, you wouldn't know I'm different at all.
Society is the abberation, not us. Society should conform to nature, not we to they. Yes, I am one like the article describes. And when it comes to academia, I simply perform. Learning takes about 1/10 the effort for me than it does for my neurotypical friends. In a world quickly changing to favor technology, it is people like me who will shape humanity within the next few centuries. We are a force against the consumeration and against the domestication of the human species. Perhaps this is even the beginning of a split somewhat like races in Welles' Time Machine.
I recall a Miss Mary Emily Cummins with a university address in a newsgroup I frequented several years back.

I have fraunhofer to thank for most of mine. In addition to encrypting, it reduces the transmission time for the desired data, meaning I only have to stick my neck out for about a tenth the time I would otherwise.

Strong Atheism is hypocritical, and Agnosticism seems more of a cop-out than a philosophical standpoint.
How can you honestly say any one of them is any more intellectually honest than the others? They all imply an honest answer to a question with no evidence in any direction. Moreover, how is it that having faith in no deity is hypocritical? Faith can be held without reverence to anything supernatural. I hold a certain amount of faith in my friends when I rely on their advice. That doesn't mean I believe my friends are gods. since I hold faith in my friends, who are but mere people, does that mean I am hipocritical for not trusting strangers on the streets?

heh. I just happened to see an old episode of friends the other night where ross's lesian wife was getting married to her lover.

I disagree. It looks like the thumbs should be over the buttons and the wrists would go in a straight line from the hand to the elbow, with the four fingers wrapped around the back of the 'horns' and the bottom tie piece turning just below the pinky fingers. Of course, I'd have to hold one to say for sure. Couldn't be much worse than the n64, though. I can't use those more than about 20 minutes without my hands cramping up. the dreamcast was much better, but the angle on the handles was about 20-30 too narrow. If the madcatz controller had smooth plastic buttons, a stronger return spirng in the stick, and a square plus-directional pad, it would have been perfect. (incedientally, as it is, the d-pad and rubberized buttons make it unusable)
It doesn't have to include the Sorenson codec, or any codec for that matter. It's an emulator. It'll run plugins for Netscape for Windows on Linux. Apple will be distributing the codec.
the term www is not synonymous with the internet, which is the global military network you've described. The web was designed as an easy way to share information and be able to link to related documents easily, originally between scientists, but eventually also between private parties.
If I had to come up with some sort martial analogy, I'd say it's most like suing a gun company after someone gets killed by womeone else weilding a stolen firearm. There'd be more of a case against whomever the firearm was stolen from (e.g. they should have been more careful in their storage and security), but that's still a lark given that the responsibility is in the hands of the of the one pulling the trigger.
but IMHO, the whole gun company analogy is ridiculous and probably thought by some overly obsessant about firearms ownership issues. A much better analogy, I think, would be to compare this to someone suing GM after sustaining damage from a third party speeding in a corvette. IOW, trying to blame the maker of something for the irresponsible use a subsequent owner/possessor.

hmm... I never saw anything along those lines in my TOS. I didn't sign it anyway. The installation oafs were dumb enough to let it slide.
It spreads through TCP/IP transmissions on port 80. By making use of this exploit, the worm is able to send itself as a TCP/IP stream directly to the its victims, which in turn scans the web for other systems to infect. Once infected, this viral code checks for the existence of C:\notworm. If the file C:\notworm is present the worm stops seeking other machines to infect.
perhaps http://infectedser/scripts/root.exe?/c+md%20c:\not worm as an automated response to requests for default.ida?

I liked going up against snipers. I had no trouble using the sound and muzzle flash to locate them. That lightning thing sounds kinda lame. =(

I've read that extremely large doses of vitamin B can actually help to crack the shell that most autistics live in.
I don't know if that can be done.
