I need to probably seriously set up a development environment to examine this, but it seems that there are probably some pretty serious program ineffencies, if throwing a processor upgrade at the problem decreases the time 14x, as the article seemed to indicate.
It's like when I added 2,457 files to a VLC play list. It took 55 minutes to complete the operation. I immediatly downloaded the VLC code, and went looking through it...
It loops, while(1), through a piece of code that is commented "/* Change this, it is extremely slow */", or some such. The moment I have a C/C++ Linux development environment functioning, I am going to fix that, if it hasn't been already, as well as looking into the SVN problem.
I am pretty frustrated with Subversion, and all I do is manage a few pieces of source code with it. It's always farking my things up, it seems. Well, at least once a month or two, I'm mucking around with the internals of the repository to fix crap that svn did.
...EAX doesn't work in Vista, and Creative says it probably never will.. so, serious gaming audio is pretty much SOL until DX10 audio supporting stuff comes out. If. ever.
A 6200 is considered absolute garbage by current standards. Note that these reviewers consider the X1650, which is at least somewhat better than a 6200, as "unusable".
Unless you're happy sticking to old-time video resolutions, a 6200 is worthless. I know, I'm using one right now. We're equipped here with the following video on computers that I'm responsible for:
NV 7600GS NV 6200 NV 6150 Mobile ATI 9600 ATI 9550 ATI 7000 (computer not used for 3d at all, but I couldn't find anything cheaper than $20 when I needed a video card for it)
You're sitting in the room where someone has just fired a gun, and missed, injured, or killed someone in the room with you (or missed or injured yourself). You have a gun. What do you do?
http://www.mcsm.org/kennesaw.html/ Kennesaw, Georgia I think is the oldest continuous one. I'm searching for the one I just read about passing a week or three back...
In the early days of this country, especially during the Westward expansion, the majority of people carried guns. Strangely, the majority of people still managed to not get themselves killed because of it.
And, of course, there are places where gun ownership is mandatory. At least two cities in the U.S. that I have heard of recently, as well as (Switzerland? Sweden? both?)...
There are a few cities in the U.S., where gun ownership is mandatory.
They haven't been cut down to a handful of citizens remaining in those cities, yet.
What stops this, is that many people don't -want- to own a gun. I support -everyone-'s right to carry. If -everyone- were able to carry, then anyone who is not willing to risk their own life when they attack somene, is just plain not going to do it.
What about that Japanese guy that killed 30 people with a single-shot rifle, and a couple of swords?
Close enough?
Find a situation where there has been someone starting to shoot up a place, and if there was someone there that had a gun, they didn't end up using it. I dare you.
Of course, had there been any armed people within the areas that he went nuts in, he would've had a much lower bodycount, as his would've been amongst the first few.
People should be able to defend themself from their assailants, and if their assailants have guns, then you can't expect them to defend themselves with knives.
You should check your drive in another machine, to see if it works properly. HP dv6000 here works perfectly booting from a whole host of USB devices.
This guy probably was screwing around and set his BIOS password, or one of his friends was screwing around and did it, and now he's trying to setup some gigantic conspiracy theory.
Once you had everything pretty well pumped up, though (literally), and the training missions in (I still haven't passed flight training, I had to download someone's saved game to get past that.. although I did do ALL the other flight missions.. flying through those damn circles is just impossible for me.. also makes playing the MTA Race impossible for me, because I seem to be the only person who plays it that can't fly worth a damn), and got the hell out of the shit jobs at the beginning, the game got a LOT better.
I almost gave up on SA towards the end of the first third, and then once I got into the second city, the game became sweet again.. then it started introducing characters from GTA3 and VC, and it was awesome. But, the first part absolutely sucked.
You could definitely get in the Dodo and fly it around. I've seen people do it. Never got that far in the first GTA3 game, though, I always got lost once the second island opened up:(
This sounds really interesting, although their web site is a little lacking on non-techie details. (not that I don't enjoy the techie details, but there's little information on exactly what it does, and how to get it to do cool stuff) So, I downloaded it, and whenever I run it, my computer instantly reboots.
I think neither of these projects "get it". The weapons are horrible, especially so in Warsow. Actually worse than in the original Unreal game, and man those weapons -suck-. The movement is -bizarre-, in both of them, I had to crank sensitivity over 120 before they were close to a 75 setting in Quake 1/2/3. I don't know how anyone on earth could ever play with the default 3 or even the slider max at 20...
Aside from some insane graphical improvements for their respective engines, these games -blow-.
No, the BEST thing that could happen to the Linux community is a coherent, powerful, and not totally resource hungry unified environment, as well as a unified software installation system.

Also, SVN doesn't -have- a way to rollback.
Halo licks balls. Only id and 3d Realms have ever made FPS games worth playing. I doubt that anyone else ever will.
...for 300+ cameras.
IE, it's kinda generic. Like the freaking MOUSE driver.
Not exactly a giant deal, someone wrote a driver.
Well, here's the only time to get rid of these within my county, all year:
? id=1720
http://www.canton-mi.org/press/2007_gen_press.asp
Already passed, too. And it was 40 miles away from where I live.
Next county over does pickups of this kinda stuff every week, but looking at 50-60 miles minimum to get rid of it.
...then they'd all increase their rates by 30-50%, netting them the same income for a 30% less output.
BRILLIANT!

Do you have any idea how many people are around you -every day- that carry?
No?
Didn't think so.

Exactly how many years would it take for Apple to get hardware support for a wide range of devices?
That's a huge advantage to the mostly closed-box principle.

The likeliness of either happening is probably rapidly approaching 0.

I do that with any TV that is on a blue screen or black screen .. wether it be the video channel, or just covering up for lack of signal.
12 of them at Blockbuster today when I walked in, their video had stopped playing. I wanted to scream.
How many black eyes and split lips and head-bumps did you incur during these experiments?
