bleh, why on earth do sites zip movie files!? IT DOES NOTHING. zip'ing this movie took it from 21,016kb to 20,400kb, an amazing 600k difference for the inconvinience of having to unzip and not being able to play partial / stream.

Repeat after me, power != volts. You can have a 1 volt source putting out 100 watts of power (1 volt * 100 amps = 100 watts) while you can have a 100 volt source put out 1 watt of power (100 volts * 10 milliamps = 1 watt). Saying simply anything less that 48 volts is ok is insane as I can't think of anything whatsoever that takes a wallwart for > 48v so next to nothing that uses a wallwart would need to be certified.
I was going to comment on how utterly horrid your site's colors were, and then I realized that those are SCO's colors so it makes sense that they make me want to vomit.
The NwN team, of course, has been fantastic in their Linux support.
Really? I seem to remember them saying how they couldn't release it for months because they had to rewrite the audio engine, only to have it pointed out for them that the audio engine was already ported and there for the taking. I also seem to remember waiting months for it to come out at all. I must say that the version they have out now isn't bad, and it's nice that they're releasing windows and linux patches pretty much in sync, but they couldn't have done a *lot* better job to start with.
Wow, that really is an amazing picture. And you're right, it must be a single shot since there's a large frame around it (reminds me of old slides). Then again it almost certainly was taken by some spy plane / satelite with some camera that no one lowely as us will ever come close to even seeing.
(oh, and somehow my combination of X 4.3 and KView from CVS very much died when I tried to resize my view to 50%, but it did load.)
From what I'm reading it seems that if you simply connect to Kazzaa you get kicked, doesn't even bother checking what you're doing. I can't wait untill they start doing this for BitTorrent. Because we all know that anything that can be used for something illegal has nopossiblelegaluse
One thing that sticks out: watch your passwords! I think I read that the debian hacks were due to compromised passwords and the kernel hack was due to a compormised password. I guess it's both a good thing (software's secure so you have to social engineer) and a bad thing (social engineering will always work).
NOTE: "Matrix Revolutions" has been digitally remastered for IMAX Theaters using the IMAX DMR conversion, a process that take a 35mm film print and outputs it to true 70mm size and resolution. The only other films before this to get the DMR conversion were "Apollo 13," "Star Wars: Episode II" and "Matrix Reloaded." Any other Hollywood live-action films shown in the past on IMAX Screens were blown-up 35mm prints, and were not sanctioned by IMAX Corporation as "an IMAX Experience." For more on IMAX DMR, scroll down to link to a series of related articles.
I used to think that. I now have a stack of 4 Intellimouse Explorers (the ones with 5 buttons, cost $50 when they first came out). Bought 2, both died after about a year, got 2 RMAs from Microsoft, both died after a few months, bought 2 re-branded Logitechs for $15 a pop, lasted over a year.
Good point, but since when did amazon become a freely available library for everyone to use/abuse? Groups have always yelled about libraries but they have been tolerated because only one person can ever use a book at one time, and it was bought in the first place. Here you have lots of people looking at lots of books that were never paid for in any way.
Sounds similar to how half the things you buy have a warning on it that says "this has been found by the State of California to be a carcinogen" or something like that. Once everything that you use is classified as carcinogenic you really start to ignore it.
The question is - will the drive perform despite having only 2mb of cache, and running at 5400 rpm?
Because you know...if I have a 300gb hard drive I am OBVIOUSLY using it to run my games off of. Get real, this is for backing up mp3s or videos to. Or if you're a profesional doing video editing that needs insane space you get two of these and RAID them together and poof, they're already faster than a single 7200 rpm HD.
What type of logging have you managed? I've tried to log before but it either gives me nothing, or it spews WAY too much information (like very file seek or something). All I want is basically the same thing that apache gives: when, who, and what.
The delay makes perfect sense. First of all if the hackers got to the code and were able to check it out, they probably also were able to change some code. Who wants to be the first to run HL2 special BackOrifice edition? Also released with the code was the code to their new Stream DRM system. It's been noted that in the past month (even before the code was released online, but after it was stolen) there have been a half dozen Stream updates. Finally they probably are going to do their best to make sure the source as it is released now has as little do to as possible and is as incompatable as possible with the shipping game.
Do you fail to remember that DivX = Windows Media?? Remember back in the days of DivX 3.11a when it was just the Windows Media codec hacked to be usable in an AVI file instead of only ASFs and to give some more options. If you play an ASF using mplayer, this is the codec it uses: [ffdivx] vfm:ffmpeg (FFmpeg DivX;-) (MS MPEG-4 v3))

a) n isn't equal to anything
b) that's not recursive, that's an infinite loop
c) try:
void a() {
cout "Gotta love recursive jokes";
a();
}

Unfortunately, it's kind of hard to use the Chewbacca defense when you're the one suing.

nice sig...sure it freaks the hell out of n00bs =)
And you know, this is just more justification for MPAA's ban on screeners. I mean, that's a full DVD every couple of seconds.
