Oh your god! 92% more FPS than ATI's current flagship! Both in HL2 and in Quake 4! "Only" 54% better 3Dmark06 score though. This card is crazy;P I wish I could afford a truck full of these. Or maybe just one. Hmm and a new CPU... And more RAM... And some huge disks in RAID-5... Damn.
Oh man. Heroes. It keeps me on the edge of my seat! So very promising and exciting! I wish I could bend space/time and watch all episodes right away! I tried, but popped a vein in my forehead:P heheh
Thanks man! I just started using it recently. You have to get used to it, but I really like it! Especially that if you allow a site to run javascript, no external javascript from, say, advertizers get run:) Very cool add-on!
Was that link supposed to crash my firefox? Nothing happened using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061025 BonEcho/2.0 (mmoy CE K8C-X01)...
I think google should just buy the utube.com domain from them (they're willing to sell). They gotta be willing to pay a little more than normal though:P Universal Tube is small fry too, making just about 15 million US$ per year. Anyway, utube is a better domain than youtube;P
What about SED-TVs? (Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display) They've been on their way for a long time, and how it looks like they're about ready... 100.000:1 contrast ratio, 1ms refresh-ratio, 450 nits:-) Check out SED-TV-reviews and some info from HDTV-solutions... It's interesting stuff - I've head the image described as very lifelike and just floating in the air:) Using less power than LCDs and with only 10% degradation in 60.000 hours. It's basically a flat-CRT, as far as I understand it...
Cable Internet speeds reach 4 mbps download/1 mbps upload, albeit at a princely sum of 594 kroners ($101). DSL, with speeds of 4 mbps download/256 kbps upload, costs a little less, at 429 kroners ($73). "[DSL] with 8 mbps download/1 mbps upload is also possible, but not really provided to private users yet," says Vanglo.
You can get ADSL2+ in [some parts of] Denmark. You can get 10 Mbps/512 Kbps for 299 DKK (~52 US$) or 20 Mbps/512 Kbps for 499 DKK (~86 US$), and that includes free telephony...
I'm "stuck" with what my employer wants to pay for, which for the moment is 4096 Kbps/512 Kbps, which is not bad at all. I'd love to get 20 Mbps down though;)
Actually small children can have at least half of their brain removed and still function normally in later life. It's pretty amazing! I once read about a man who had had to take a brain scan. The scan revealed that the only brain tissue he had, only covered the inner surface of his skull, apparently he was born like that, and he functioned normally. Of course I cannot find any documentation about it now, but the link I've provided describes a "normal" procedure. It can cure rare epeleptic disorders and other things. Mind boggling;)
Why isn't Visual Studio going toe-to-toe with Eclipse?
Seriously. I am not being sarcastic or obnoxious (you may interpret it that way, if you're a FOSS-zealot), but Visual Studio 2005 is without comparison. Eclipse is stone age compared to Visual Studio. A while ago (pre-Visual Studio 2003), MS didn't have a decent IDE. Borland had the best IDE around, but like it or not, VS2k3 changed that and with VS2k5, noone, not even Borland, came close. I'm not particularly happy about it, but it *is* the best and coolest IDE around.
Besides, I agree 100% with some of the previous comments here. This is rediculous. It's only worthy of a very poor web-comic, and it's not even that funny. It's vaguely informative for people who've lived in a cave the last 15 years, but that's it.
Completely agree on all except the HDDs, what have you got against the 2x160GB in RAID0? A striped array gives the best performance in this case... It halves your MTBF though, and if one disk crashes, all is lost.
I know it was written in jest - But there are those OSS-people that actually use that as an argument. Suppose one of them want to use OpenOffice.org - I seriously doubt that they have audited every single line of code before compiling and installing. Hell I doubt if they even superficially breezed through the code. They are just trolls;-)
You're being silly. Why would you want to have your computer on for 366 days in a row? *Especially* a laptop. I turn my computer off every day. You know, it saves power. I just hope that Vista is as stable as XP is. My machine never crashes:-)
Slashdot Mirror
Red Hat
Google
Novell (hmmm?)
They are all solid, and all "good to open source", in some way.
I dont understand, what risks?
See? (:D)
Also, I forgot to write that NoScript has nothing to do with it, since the 'sploit doesn't use javascript at all.
How? The proof-of-concept worked for me, and I use NoScript! And no, I didn't allow the site.

There's not much info in the articles...

I've heard it as "640K ought to be enough for anybody." and he denies having said anything like that ;)
And then I googled it, and fould several methods to make a solid state gyroscope... Nice! :-D
Solid state gyroscope. Yeeees. Please wear this nice white coat. What? Yes, I know the arms are twisted to hug yourself. ;-)
Actually the gyroscopes doesn't affect the balance, they're used as sensors (well, in that way they do affect balance)...
How about that :)

This google search reveals lots more info on hemisperectomy.

No... actually it was posted on Slashdot
Dude, didn't you read what he wrote? I'll copy/paste for your benefit:
This belongs on webcomic or something.
'Nuff said.

He is running DirectX 10, but the Dx10-specific parts are software emulated, since there are no graphics adapters that support Dx10 yet.
Maybe you mean NVIDIA? ;P
I've been an ATI-man for a long time, but right now I'd choose an NVIDIA card.
