In the post, http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=23793&cid=2566 678, I mentioned on what does the Internet Privacy Law have in relation with the DCMA. Yet I just found this on a website just a few short minutes ago...
If you are affiliated with any government organization, anti-piracy organization or any other related group you are not permited to proceed to the following webpages or access any of the files on this webserve. (Affiliation includes but is not limited to: Employees and former Employees.) If you continue you are not agreeing to these terms and you are violating code 431.322.12 of the Internet Privacy Act signed by President Bill Clinton, 1995. Meaning you revoke the righ to threaten/prosecute any person(s) affiliated with this website. Thank you.
Since Quake III Arena is multi-threaded, would it be possible to run it on some sort of cluster? If not, or if there is, is there any other game that is capable of playing on a cluster?
Mind you, it would need a fair bit of bandwidth I'd bet.
Morpheus is basically the same thing as Kazaa (it's in the same network), but Morpheus allows you to download >128 Kbit MP3s. As and added bonus, there is no spyware in Morpheus.
Then is this the worst they'll do? Now, I know blowing up planes or crashing them into buildings is quite horrific, yet I thought, if this is a terrorist attack, they'd go further? Not that I am striking fear into you guys, but maybe they would have done something like releasing Small Pox (that isn't an unlikely scenerio by the way).
Also, do you think that they missed their target? Crashing into Queens is pretty bad, yet I don't think there was an intention to crash there and I beleive there was an intention to crash somewhere else.
What I am trying to say here is that if Microsoft wants to show the best graphics quality that this console pulls off, they should spend the extra money and use LCD screens instead of CRT Screens as LCD screens usually show better quality in most cases. It is quite obvious that most homes in the United States still use CRT-based televisions, yet in order to sell these consoles you must make sure you can show the best that the console can do. A CRT television limits that.

See something here? Microsoft's XBox demo units use CRT TVs! How is one supposed to see the awesome graphics quality of their product? If you have taken a look at PS2, they used small LCD screens for their PS2 demo units and the quality is QUITE awesome. I kind of got discouraged to even consider buying an XBox after seeing this as Microsoft makes more money per second than Sony does in a month. If anything, they should have used Computer Monitors instead of these not-so-good-looking-quality Televisin screens.
Correction sir, Canada holds the highest percentage of broadband users in the world. Korea comes second, Austrailia third, and then the United States.:)
This sort of reminds me of the experiment where a guy in the US Military went up in a balloon about arround the same height and then parachutted down from that height. In the process, the guy actually lost a glove yet his hand managed to survive along with himself.
Though, I wouldn't even attempt to go that high in anything unless it had wings and an engine (with the exception of the Space Shuttle;)).
A fly could do a better job actually. With a fly, it can attach itself to the ceiling, wall, floor, or whatever and you wouldn't notice it. With a cockroach, you can easily see it and want to stomp it.
As long as the radio control works though, if not the then the fly is at risk for being swatted because it will either be in control of it's self, go out of control, or it will drop and be noticed.
Today we're seeing robots the size of pennies, that may be the next form of espionage in the next few decades. Heck, we may even make smaller "nano-bots" that can attach itself to the person who is under survailence.
This also reminds me of the bionic insects I have seen in various magazines such as Popular Science. Cats were only the beginning I will state again.
How about Anon posters can only post after a story has been up on slashdot for a specific ammount of time? That would cutdown on trolls and such. Maybe those with negative karma should fall into that catagory too.
If I am not incorrect, didn't the CIA or some other US government agency request that an inquiry into such OSes as FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, or Linux be taken into consideration as an OS structure rather than Microsoft Windows?
My Information Technology 12 class may take a few students, most likely me, to COMDEX in Vancouver BC, Canada which isn't too far away. I wonder if they'll accept Student ID? As it contains a picture and name.
We all know that the United States government went back in time and nuked the fuck out of them to make this war much easier for them.
The US is capable of time travel, believe it or not. Why else have we never seen Alien space craft land anywhere? Because the United States went into the past and blew the ship up.
Microsoft proves again that we shouldn't be signing up for their passport even though it is "secure" and none of your information can be taken from it. Well, what just happened here? Microsoft?
DVDs can hold audio, video, and software. CDs can do the same thing (CD Audio, Video CD, ISO 9660). If the DVD is intended to be a movie, it is a movie. It is no different than if a CD is intended to be a audio disc.
If that wasn't the case, then only LaserDiscs could be movies and Mini-discs could be only audio.

You just summed up my thoughts exactly. Its almost the same as the Mac vs. Windows war.
The bill that became law in 1995 (signed by Bill Clinton). What role does it play in the DCMA era? Is the law still valid?
:/
I am canadian, I don't follow american law too much.
What will it look like exactly? The current HP logo with the Compaq logo on the right?
IE:
[HP] Compaq

That is, if it is an act of terrorism.

I'll bet her family members use P2P...

Isn't this basically what Bochs and VMWare are capable of?
Isn't it not that good? I have had problems with it and found that it ran better under Direct3D. I have heard from others that it wasn't goo either.

It would be kind of ironic if the convention centre explodes after a BSOD occurs during this "BIG demo."

Mon francais c'est terrible. Je parle langue preféré anglais. Parle-tu anglais?
No offense dude, but attacking one's english skills is sort of weak. I think he meant "I need to clean up the dirty page handling".
