And it can go farther. Who needs the pedal, have triggers, think regex for chords. As the processor senses each trigger it launches effects on each individual string.
I too always use the http download. My guess why it goes faster, is that I think people are bandwidth throttling their ftp connections and not their http connects.
Nor does being able to write directly to the network card hardware. It isn't the API that is the problem. Black box programming shouldn't hide any important details from you. Any special cases should be noted, as well as performance data if that is critical to your application. Blindly dropping data into a call without knowing that the call was designed to a certain spec is bad design.
It isn't the APIs fault someone is misusing it. It sounds like what you are saying is that black box programming of APIs lowers the bar so that less knowledgeable programmers can access that higher functionality? That has nothing to do with black box programming. You could easily say that C code is too easy too create and it allows those programmers that don't understand the subtle nuances of ASM to make programs that might potentially be malicious or unintentionally damaging. To take it to an extreme, maybe we shouldn't let grandma's use email, they may unintentionally open an email virus. There will always be bad people out there, obfuscating the system to stop them and hindering legitimate users is much worse than what they do.
Not to nitpick, but they say it has a one million bit key. What that really means is kinda moot since we know little about the algorithm (at least from the article). I wonder how big the signatures are from a key that clocks in at almost one megabyte.
He did say that Nvidia is rendering at a higher precision than ATI when in ARB2. This should mean that the colors are more accurate in the Nvidia render. My guess anyhow is that the ARB2 path on NV30 will quickly move towards the speed of the NV30 path. You know Nvidia driver devs will be highly optimizing for Doom III performance.
Seems to me the shader limits are more important than the ARB2 path. Nvidia can probaly get the ARB2 speeds up, with driver optimization. I can't imagine the limits on shader instructions can easily be remedied. Anyone know how this will affect the ATI? Can it swap in more instructions at a performance loss (Or no loss) or can it just not run the shader if it goes over the instruction limit? In other words does Carmack make large shader programs that ATI can't run or run slower or does he cap the shaders at ATI's limit and get simpler shader programs for both cards?
I wouldn't plan on seeing a Half Life 2 XBox exclusive. Since Vivendi only owns the publisher, I doubt that they can make the requirement that it goes XBox only. Second Valve should know that mods sold a huge number of the around 3 million cds that were purchased. That won't happen for a console. Lastly going XBox exclusive will mean they have to use XBox Live for online support. Now head to Valve and read about Steam. My guess is that Valve is looking to become their own publisher and possibly for others. Don't get me wrong, I love my PC, PS2 and XBox.
Come now, someone should be able to figure out how to programmatically submit a search to http://www.titantv.com/ttv/programming/Search/ Sear chContent.asp parse the results and download the.tvpi files for each show.
http://www.titantv.com is an excellent online program guide and it has a convenient downloadable data file for shows. I don't know if they cover Bermuda, however. There is also http://www.digiguide.com, but I have not really used the service.
Spam E-mail is considerably different than junk mail. It is a matter of volume. At home I receive maybe 5-15 pieces of junk mail. My home e-mail address on the other hand gets between 100-250 pieces of junk email every weekday (I have had this e-mail address for quite some time, but I don't feel I should have to change it to reduce my spam.) This is making it difficult for me to spot legitimate e-mail from non-whitelisted people. Depending on the subject the spam uses, I may have to take a look to see if it is legitimate. This ends taking some time, that I would have preferred to use doing something constructive.
I took a look at the TCPA and TPM faqs and from the looks of it, the trusted computing features can be turned off so it functions like my current system? Am I mistaken that Linux could run with out having to be signed? And Apps running under Linux could be programmed to use the TCPA certificate?
It is pretty simple. Mount the camera so it has a constant view of the field. The table they were using had a black field. Now a white ball should stand out like a sore thumb on that field. Do a search for roughly white pixels from each bitmap sent. Now you know where the ball is. If it enters a certain area you have designated as the goal you add a score. The only time I really see it as being a problem is on extremely fast hits where the ball bounces back out and I think you could come up with a ball tracking system that could solve that.
The SETI screensaver may be an extreme example, if you leave it running 24x7 without putting your monitor into powersaving mode. I tend to believe that burn-in is not the problem it once was. However, I think alot of the problem has been 'solved' by the gui. In old terminal based systems the same exact text always sat at the exact same spot. Now with Windows and other graphical interfaces only have a small area that is static and that is frequently covered by other windows and moved about the screen. Now you putting up SETI, without having the computer put the monitor in powersave mode definitely sounds like it would cause some burn in.
People do sell software with source included, but it is still closed source.
If you want the code to be open, where anyone can legally use without paying for the source, then you get back to the support and customization business model.
I would not make an issue out of this. You know that it uses excessive bandwidth that could possibly impair legitimate academic pursuits. Presumably this was done, because the network was not performing adequately or was costing more than it should. The block was placed to most likely reduce the current cost or in place of spending extra for more bandwidth. Would you want to place Kazaa access over say funding to a school club. Save your efforts for a more academically appropriate endeavour.
Paying tuition doesn't give a student carte blanche to use college facilities and services. I wouldn't expect internet access, unless in a contract between the college and the student guarantees it.
Unfortunately, it is mentioned. On the tech specs reduced speed when running under battery is listed as footnote 2.
As a consumer, we do need to do some research as to what we are buying. Should Dell more prominently display the information listed in the footnotes of the tech specs page, probably.
She is talking about the contestants. What she is saying is that the US teams are more able to ham it up to make it interesting. My read of the statement took it to mean that generally the Brits would quietly work, while the Americans would provide some bravado. Not that we as Americans watch tv better than Brits.
As long as the employer has notified the employee that they monitor email, it is completely legal under the Human Rights Act.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/957460.stm http://www.itsecurity.com/papers/morgancole1.htm Seems it's about the same in the UK, as is here. In other words tell them that you monitor the e-mail and you can read all of it.

You are right. I had that figure, then it slipped my mind when I got around to posting.

All he needed was a webcam and he could have made a much more sophisticated system. Could have kept track of a lot more data.
