Well... you know that 10^60 means that RSA checksums could be easily cracked and 10^70 is the number of elementary particles in the universe. Can NEVER get that amount of memory
Never say never. Perhaps at some point in the future we'll be able to convert a few parallel universes into Quantum-Ram just to finally crack GO:-)
I don't really consider myself a hardcore gamer in the conventional sense of the word(too much in EVE online), but 64 gigs sounds like plenty for the OS and whatever games you happen to be playing at the moment. Just keep your files and other software on a different drive.
I'm sorry, you consider verbal abuse to be a valid excuse for tasing? I work in a callcenter, if I had to go out and hit people everytime they resort to verbal abuse I'd never get any work done. Maybe callcenters need to hire rent-a-cops as well.
Perhaps. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed GTA: San Andreas. Not because of all the Hot Coffee crap, but because it was a game I had fun playing. Cruising around town with that weird old rockstation on the radio(and Axl Rose on the mike) and just checking out the scenery. Most of the missions were so completely over the top that it was more funny than violent. Money well spent, in my opinion.
Every bloody time a big company gets discussed on/. this story pops up. Making money does not necessarily equate to having to do evil. Not actually being evil might earn less money on one side, but you have to spend a lot less on PR spin on the other. Treating and paying your employees properly might cost more short-term, but having to train an entire crew every 3 months because people start looking at the job ads 5 minutes after they start on their first day doesn't do wonders for your budget, let alone quality, either.
The article you link to is interesting, and offers a certain insight, but if this is truly the law in all of the US of A there's a lot of companies in deep trouble.
Just something to think about: how is making socially responsible business choices somehow wrong, yet giving some athlete a pile of money to wear your name on his shirt somehow right? If you do it properly, both will expose your company to potential customers.
Just say you're doing the right thing purely for reasons of public image and file it under the PR budget.
And the amount of force exerted on the other boat would only be, oh, slightly less than the one on your own....so it'll only work if you're in the lead already and you're pretending it's really a propulsion unit:-)
It was more or less random IIRC. How is that going to solve the issue of users's favorite features not always being at the top anyhow? The point is that the user is not the brightest bulb.
You'd be amazed at the number of people in this world that aren't. They're still the users/customers/whatever we're catering to.
That's like saying that NAMBLA isn't for child molestation, they're just for letting men and little boys choose for themselves whether or not they're going to have sex. Not the government, not the church, not the parents, but the people who are ultimately involved in man-boy love.
Which is exactly the same thing, because a young boy is equally capable of making said decision as a pregnant woman is about making hers, right?
On the other hand, if these are the kind of arguments the pro-livers have to settle for these days things are looking up I guess.
Need? No, I don't need it. But I do enjoy gaming and at some point DirectX 10 will become a necessity for some games. Release DirectX 10 for XP and I'll probably stick with it for another 5 years.
Though I disagree with having any such law, if the Chinese wanted to reduce population pressure then what they could of done would of been to allow one boy and one girl per family.
And your solution for the second child being of the same gender as the first would have been? Forced abortion?
Not to mention that if there's 1 country in europe known for its willingness to buy the latest and greatest tech gadgets, it's Germany. From my experience in callcenters I'd say the Germans are on average a lot more tech-savvy than their neighbours...and thus far more inclined to actually keep track of this kind of news and act on it.
Are you referring to IRC the chat protocol, or DCC, the protocol used, among other things, to transfer large files between 2 individuals? Strictly speaking the 2 are pretty separate. The only thing that happens on irc itself is the initial connection between the 2.
In any case, a decent IRCD supports both SSLD and the ability to accept connections outside the 6667-6670 range(8080 works nicely), so no worries quite yet;-)

I believe it was in Men at Arms, in fact.

Most people would not mind paying more, if they can use the PC as reliably as they use the VCR.
So you're saying they're willing to pay for a screensaver that flashes 12:00 all day long? Sounds like a business opportunity.

Screw Karma...
Eerste, ehmmm, post?

Well, obviously. Judaism only requires Masonry, whereas Christianity requires Writing and all that. Don't even get me started on Islam.

Ok, a guy called Dr. Brilliant with a goatee...where did they find this guy, and does he own any white cats?
Any good loot?

Decide you're perfectly capable of blowing yourselves up and retire? Win-win!
Only if you always make sure there's a towel in the boot.
True. In fact, half the time it IS other music with an extra beat.
So create it somewhere in a country that doesn't give a rat's ass about the feelings of the NZ parliament?

Smarter than everyone else or just smarter than Americans? Because if it's the latter it'd be a lot like debating on the internet.
Fuck you!
I won't do what you tell me?
