Exactly, as well current temperature increases for the last hundred years have only been between.2 to 1C depending upon who you ask (different studies factor in urban heat effect (the extra heat of concrete and such) differently) So we have quite a long time until we have to worry about another 3C for a while.
I find it hard to formulate any principled rule that would call TiVO's developments non-obvious but NPT's blackberry patent obvious.
One major difference in my mind.. TiVo created the idea of a harddrive as a replacement for the VCR, and NPT created the idea for email from a handheld device. Both semi novel ideas, but ideas others have thought of before. TiVo created a great product that implemented this idea in a truly novel way that created MANY copyers. NPT created an idea and sat on it.
But you have to admit delaying Vista is really a good idea from a sales perspective. They are still selling XP license as well as 2003 license for servers. Hell many people are just now moving to 2003. There is almost no marketting reason selling a new version would net them much more income. What they really need is something drastically improved from XP. Of course they are currently scraping features to get it out the door.. Its not like they are losing money while it waits. The PS3 on the other hand is something they need to get out the door, BUT they are still selling PS2 games as well so its not exactly something they should be rushing either.
Yep, in situations like this its generally a matter of how do these people differ from the people that it worked on. As all of apples machines are pretty much the same, it either boils down 1. an error during the bootcamp install like the power going out or some kinda of hardware failure. 2. Differences in the windows installation.
No its just that windows installer is notorius for messing with dual boot programs. I'm guessing as this was designed for a specific version of windows its possible people installed a slighly different version of windows (like one of those dell disk or someting) that did something slightly different enough to throw off the bootloader.
Of course, its still blizzards land, so you really can't say anything. You should take your speach somewhere else. Now in a game like second life where you buy land. I guess theoretically it would be a different legal standard wouldn't it?
Oh people just like to complain. There are VERY FEW Apple/intel machines out there in the first place. Most are bleeding edge users to begin with. As the Apple/Intel machines are pretty much new, few people have any data to worry about, so most probably didn't make a backup. A few people rushed the job didn't read the instructions. And now realize their grocery list they made last week is gone.
OHH the data is still there my friend.. Good luck getting to it. This is probably a problem of the windows installer doing something weird and not boot camp itself.
Yes, but there are unreasanable people who want to offer new tech, and unreasonable people who want to hinder technology, and reasonable people who really don't care and just want their media.
sorry to inform you but omgwtfbbq has been demoted the new specification requires you to use the full syntax. ombwtfbbq is now omgwtfbbqip (IP meaning its ponies)
I believe all US banks currently have to provide this info and do on a regular basis. This is simply another issue of paypal not offically being a bank and the debate over the "privacy" of their users as if they arn't a bank because of this issue.
Yea a rootkit could just interupt your going to a website like your bank and display false SSL info even. There is really nothing a rootkit can't do, why would you use it to interupt emails.
Yes but as pointed out elsewhere, it could have been a secondary causation. Playing violent games leads to temporary increases in stress/hormone levels, increases in hormones levels causes peoples perception to change.. Primary causation is almost impossible to prove unless the test was hours later, and I doupt it was.
Two things I would have liked to see. 1. A pre-test to compare each persons responces before gaming (they probably did this) 2. A physical activity control group.
As we all know playing these games do cause temporary aldrinaline and testotarone (spellling???) increases. These test were preformed immediently after playing and as such the results could have been related. Would have enjoyed seeing a group sent out to play football, or even just run track. I bet you would see similar responces..
Very true. Though some consumers want higher quality and medium prices.. And you know what.. They go somewhere else than walmart. Believe it or not, its not entirly walmarts fault that the average consumer has only a short supply of cash (blame that on the credit card companies:) Sadly many consumers are fooled into believing they will get a high quality product that will last them many years from walmart. But that is a matter of consumer education. Sure one would hope that consumers were provided with clear indications as to the quality and comparitive prices of all products. But we don't live in a perfect capitolistic utopia...
I would do obscene things for something on the level of say Quake, but with a light gun for my firing (and view independant of gun).
Quote from an Moz La Punk article. "Unlike other FPS games, which tie the camera and aiming together, Red Steel's camera follows your aim with a slight delay. If, for example, you point to the edge of the screen, the camera will turn to re-center on your view after a second. later
- According to lead game designer Oriola, it takes roughly three seconds to turn completely around around in most console shooters, while it takes about one-quarter second in a PC game. In Red Stel, it takes one second.
Ignoring the obvious discrepancy between one second to turn around and one second to turn at all. This sounds basically like an edge scroll system. Which would be annoying to me if there is more than a 1/8th second lag. But we'll see.
Yes, but the question is if you remove the commericals yourself, and watch the show yourself. Is it illigal??? Of course redistributing the show is illigal, as distributing the program to rip out the commericals is illigal (DMCA).
They are probably thinking its Area 51. Which it would be without the ability to freely move around. But this appears to have full control. We won't know how expansive the control of your character is of course untill we see the final game.

like selling CS for HL1 in stores when it was free online.
The CS box in stores came with a license for HL1 as well.

Just curious if you'd explain what WaveFront analysis and IntraLase are?

I'm betting there are some cases of both.

moronic.. still no way to delete the your slashdot bookmarks. But then again, there is no whay to edit a submission. So what else would one expect.
I have the utmost respect for the programmers of Starforce as it is a creative solution to a widespread problem
just out of curiosity as I havn't had to deal with starforce and can't find any real information.. Just what was this creative solution.
Yes, and just like google you can't delete bookmarks either..
Yes, but there are unreasanable people who want to offer new tech, and unreasonable people who want to hinder technology, and reasonable people who really don't care and just want their media.

The crates are RFID tagged not the individual packages.. Its not that hard to buy a handful of RFID tags is it?
HEHE bully is listed as expected on October 2005..
