...reduce cheating? I mean, what's the worst thing that could happen to you if you get caught cheating now? You get kicked, then it's off to the next server to prove how 1337 j00 4r3. But in the future, getting caught cheating could cost you a buck or two! Not much, no, but it does sort of rule out hopping from one server to another when each one is costing you a couple of dollars...
AndyP wrote two months ago that he'd been arrested for vandalism after one Halloween mischief night when he was sixteen. An online tracking agency dug up the arrest -- even though it was a misdeanor offense, was supposed to be kept sealed, and had happened a decade earlier. "I was turned down because my company was working on a government project and we all needed a moderate security clearance. I never got it sorted out, because it was technically true. But jeez, it was a spray-painting incident. I guess in certain quarters, I'm unemployable for the rest of my life."
I'm pretty damned sure that they laws in the US mirror those here regarding juve offences- ie, it's sealed untill you die. From everybody. Can't AndiP sue somebody over this? I'm not for frivolous lawsuits, but this just isn't fair. Your life until you're 18 is supposed to be getting all the mischief and spray-painting out of your system, so you can enter the world as an adult...
My biggest beef with man is there's no way to get it up unless you already know what command/program you need to start. What if I need info on my webserver but don't know it's called httpd? It's not even called httpd on all bloody systems anyway...
King oath poor driver quality... I was beside myself with joy when I discovered that I could change resolution in quake 2 or even (heaven fordid) alt-tab out of it without hanging my box when I switched to nvidia a coupld of years ago.
And don't tell me it's changed- I got the newest drivers for my brother's voodoo, and they still can't disconnect from the net while playing a game or the popup window brings down the whole computer cause it's essentially an alt-tab.
Neon is out of the gamut of emitted light- as long as you can see your monitor in the dark, it will never display neons- Howevwer, it's quite likely that a 64bpp scanner/filesystem combo could pick it up, you just couldn't see it in photoshop:)
Here's a question - Can neon be printed in the cmyk gamut? It seems to be quite small compared to what's capable of reflecting light.... Perhaps a better system of printing should be invented?
Every time a w3b d3$1ng3r uses a proprietary extension, the world becomes a little more homogenous and a demon earns his wings, because he has prevented price/performance selection from happening.
So what you're saying basically is that my clients, and in turn their customers should not have what they want, because the W3C doesn't like some tags, or doesn't give a standard for the functionality customers want?
Fuck that. Wake up, the W3C aren't in charge any more, they haven't been for a long time. Their validator still complains if I have a bgcolor="foo" in a table. They need to get off their high horse and try implementing things people actually want in the standards if they want somebody to give a shit.
Although usually you die within 15 minutes of consuming the fugu if prepared incorrectly, if the toxin is in a small enough dose, your heart and breathing rate will slow down as to be undectable for a few hours to a few days, and then you recover. There was a movie about this, some stupid thing, but suprisingly accurate of their portrayal of the effects of a minute amount of tetradotoxin.
Also, in some islands where exists the zombie cults (where the zombie idea originated), they have what's known as "zombie potion". This, among other weird ingredients contains puffer fish, which can (don't know ho often tho) result in the person "dying", and then "coming back to life" a day or two later, and believing themselves to be zombies, and under the power of the shaman who created them.
Bet ya'll didn't know that! Unless of course it's on the links, I didn't bother to read 'em, like most/.'ers.
The law, as far as I can see it, states that you have to give them your passwords, or your guilty (well that's the short of it)... So what's the bloody point?
Every intel processor from the ppro/p2 (and some late p1s i think) have 4mb and 2mb paging options (as opposed to the default 4k) allowing access to the extra (36 bit) address bus, and much more than 4g of ram.

I have to admit, I'm more than a little worried about Nintendo.
I wouldn't be. Nobody would argue that Miyamoto isn't the Carmack of consoles, and they do have arguably two of the biggest games of all time.
I (and millions like me) will buy a Gamecube over a PSX2 for one reason, and one reason only, and that reason is Zelda. The N64 was hardly a flop, either.
Also, I propose that the reason the PS is much bigger than the 64 is not because of the cartridge vs cd issue at all, but rather one of marketing. To joe 6-pack (of pepsi max), owning a nintendo is just something to play 007 on- but a playstation, now that's cool, you can get tony hawk's, and the x games games. Playstation was on telly every 20 minutes, it's in movies, "everybody's got 'em, i need one"...
Given the basicly evil alignment of the Sony corp, and they're microsoft-worthy success due to marketing, I'm rather suprised they're loved by the mob here at slashdot.
That's a maze with 4 degrees of freedom, not a 4d maze. Remember the big thing about descent- it offered 6 degrees of freedom, but it wasn't a 6d game.... No I'm afraid this is simply a 3d maze.
Quake 3 has no bump mapping, at least not on my geforce, and I'm pretty sure not on anything else.
And what you remember from unreal is called micro-textures. Unreal supports micro and macro textures, microtextures to add detail when you're up close so you don't notice the blurring effect of filtering, and macrotextures are applied when you see a surface from a distance, to reduce repeating of for example rock textures on distant walls.
Now this isn't one of those "give the money to hungry african kids" posts, I'm asking a genuine question:
Why do we need this crap, will finding a Higgs-Boson (or whatever) further mankind in any way? What are they hoping to actually achieve with all this? Anybody know of any real applications for this other than "because it's there"?
No, they won't. It's too entrenched now, what with all the computer systems and all, and frankly, I think America as a whole is just too damned arrogant to change. Americans seem to love doing things almost the same... Weird TV formats, The emperial system (even the empire has given up on it), and the like...
Meanwhile, I'm still hanging for my chance to get out of the country I love and go to the states where the government is working _quite_ so hard to fuck up the lives of all tech workers:)
King oath, I've had it up to here with this crap. The thing is, especially with win2k, there's no bloody difference, a trained professional can keep one up and running, the difference being that there's more idiots claiming to be able to do NT than there are idiots claiming to be able to do Unix, it's no harder, no more work to create a stable secure box in fucking NT....
Sure buddy. Microsoft bought internet explorer 2 (well some of it) and their dialup software for ie for win31.... Have you used ie2? Get an nt4 v1 install and give it a go. I'd be suprised if ie2 and ie3/4/5 share more than 30 lines of code outside of standard ms crap that all programs from redmond would share.
