No, a large portion of the people posting are just making shit up. They have NO idea what they are talking about and neither do the mods who mod them up.
It used to be you could have a somewhat decent tech discussion on/., not anymore.
Second, Windows has won lots of awards, that doesn't mean it is good. Flash ONLY sites go against the basis of the web, with out flash installed it doesn't look like I could get ANY info on your film.
You made a movie that basicly says it's OK to deface other people property and you don't understand why people old enought to own property don't like it? I know there is more to it than that, but that awful flash site you have makes it difficult to use your site for more than 3 minutes.
Listen you lying piece of shit. (see, I can insult people to) I said they CAN ban you, not that they will. I understand that you are about 13 and think that calling someone a liar makes you cool or something, but it doesn't. And, if the change is so simple, why didn't the devs point out you could turn off the movies from the GUI? A lot of people on stratics said the only way to remove the movies is to del those files.
Posted on Wednesday, June 9, 2004, 5:27 PM EDT by Lady Malynn (GeneralNews) Here's a tip on how to remove the introduction movie. This tip was identified previously by our very smart discussion forum participants!
delete or rename the.bik files in the music subdirectory
Binky (Community Manager, All Things Ultima) had this advise about modifying the.bik files to remove the movie.
The ability to not be able to bypass the Origin and EA logo screens was a mandate passed down by the EA legal department. This is something that needs to be in place when we ship the products in order to comply with copyright and trademark laws. We cannot support, endorse, or condone methods to bypass these screens and any modification of the game files could result in the inability for our technical support department to assist in situations where the end user may experience errors.
So essentially, any posts telling people how to bypass the logo movies would fall under the "Unsupported System Configuration" area and not be viewed as an exploit.
Just note, if less than honest players decide to abuse this feature I will turn this into an exploit in no time flat. =)
This is the same EA that just made it IMPOSSIBLE to bypass the 15 second startup movies that play every time you start up Ultima Online. There is a way to disable them, but they can ban your account for making unauthorized mods if you use it.
That is a case, not a computer. The person/corp building the computer is responsible for ensuring it follows the correct specs. Notice how no large companies sell complete systems like that?

Moore's Law/morz law/ prov. The observation that the logic density of silicon integrated circuits has closely followed the curve (bits per square inch) = 2^(t - 1962) where t is time in years; that is, the amount of information storable on a given amount of silicon has roughly doubled every year since the technology was invented. This relation, first uttered in 1964 by semiconductor engineer Gordon Moore (who co-founded Intel four years later) held until the late 1970s, at which point the doubling period slowed to 18 months. The doubling period remained at that value through time of writing (late 1999). Moore's Law is apparently self-fulfilling. The implication is that somebody, somewhere is going to be able to build a better chip than you if you rest on your laurels, so you'd better start pushing hard on the problem. See also
No, it's cost based. The newer drives fail more in their later years so they reduced the length of the warranty. If they had faith in their product and it lasted a long time, it would cost them next to nothing to have 3 year warranty.

I REALLY miss the old /. where people knew what the hell they where talking about.
The dir synopsis appears to be pro graffiti, IMO.

Notice how it says unsuported? IOW you may not be able to get support if you do this and are violating the UO TOS, which can get you banned.

And that is why one does NOT let programmers make HW decisions by themselves ;->
Why, did kuro5hin.org close? :->
vi = editor
emacs = os
Why are you comparing them to each others?
Ladder? Mine just takes the house apart till he get what he wants. ;->
Perhaps you should keep things out of reach of your 3 year old? ;->
Perhaps if your site and idea didn't look like a PERFECT way to pump and dump stocks you would get more VC interest.
Your site looks like a SEC investigation waiting to happen.
It's doesn't take all that, just use an AM radio.
That is a case, not a computer. The person/corp building the computer is responsible for ensuring it follows the correct specs. Notice how no large companies sell complete systems like that?
That thing doesn't look like it has ANY RF shielding. Bet the FCC and the people who live around him love it. :->

Moore's Law has NOTHING to do with CPU speed.

Why?
No, it's cost based. The newer drives fail more in their later years so they reduced the length of the warranty. If they had faith in their product and it lasted a long time, it would cost them next to nothing to have 3 year warranty.
