Otakon always holds its conventions in Baltimore Inner Harbor, just off the waterfront. This would be nifty for running portable netcams and updating weblogs/fan pages with details about fanmade works and cosplay.
I mean, if you're going to geek, geek out fully, right?
'S3 Graphics is back with a new chip, dubbed DeltaChrome, which looks like it might just be strong enough to become a player in the mid-range consumer graphics market.'
Yeah! Just like the S3 ViRGE! And the ViRGE GX2! And the Savage! And the Savage4! And the Savage2000!
Seriously...they've said the same *damn* thing every time. The only inroads this chipset *might* make would be in low-cost laptops, where S3 already had a sizeable market until the GeForce 2 Go and Radeon Mobility started kicking butt.
This in direct contrast to the GameSpy editorial Slashdot linked to two weeks ago.
I guess it's not hard to figure out where some of that $25M in capital went...
For reference, Steve didn't note it in this article, but he and Kyle have run a previous "insight" into the mystery behind Infinium Labs, and when he called the Big Cheeze to ask him about the non-existent offices, the guy threatened to press charges against Kyle.
I think I have a way of sharing music while avoiding legal action. The client should work like this:
1) Request a file
2) Ask "Is bit #0 a 1"
3) Get a response, write the appropriate bit to a disk (or buffer).
4) Repeat for the other 9238472093847 bits.
What's to stop PTAs from banding together their members, having them filing claims the settlement as private users, only to donate the equipment to the schools? The schools (in theory) get more money, and the citizens get a nice tax break.
Why are you mad at UbiSoft? They're just the publisher, not the actual people doing the work of creating the game right? Like when Myst was originally made, broderbrun was the publisher. It was 2 guys in their garage that actually made the game.
Ubi Soft is not just the publisher, but it is also the company *commissioning* the development of the game.
Just as it isn't up to Valve to decide to make a Mac port of Half-Life, it's not up to Uru's developer to make a Mac port. Ubi is calling the shots. So, I think the parent poster has a right to bitch at Ubi.
By the way - The Miller brothers pretty much signed away the franchise during the development of Myst III. One of them (Robin, I think) is still a "consultant" on the series, but they're both pretty much out of the picture now.
Or, if it becomes something that isn't "user-preference", something else to hack out of the BIOS flashes. Hooray for JMP!
Let's just hope that they're not packed in installer executeables that contain internal checksums to verify that the executeable hasn't been tampered with...
Oh...and it should also be noted that since ABC News is carrying a copy of the story and is currently getting hammered by Slashdot, the original story is up on the TechTV website.
It should be noted that they're only carrying show notes, and that the interview with John Carmack was actually carried out by TechTV's Tech Live, and was run last night at 8 PM EST, and again twice this morning.
It's absolutely *not* related, since it's in Dallas, but I'd like to point out that QuakeCon 2K3 started up at approximately the same that the power in NY and elsewhere went out.
Guess those 60000W PSUs might be a *bit* excessive, eh?:-)
It's all well and good that you're tired of SCO articles, but this one is *highly* important...Important enough, I think, that the editors could "override" your Caldera selection.
The GPL is being formally challenged in court. I fail to see how that *couldn't* be "News for Nerds" or "Stuff that Matters". This affects *everyone* here, and hundreds of millions of people that don't read/. . The future of Free Software is contingent on the outcome of this allegation.
Do you think you stand a chance against Arnold? If so, why?
Pundits would be quick to point out that "obviously, he'd not run if he didn't think he had a chance"...but I doubt that ~130 miscellaneous people really think they have a chance against Arnold, or even Gary Coleman. Gary Coleman even said he doesn't expect to win, and that he supports Arnold.
A crappy situation to be in, for sure...but I wonder if you should have wiped the box? I'd have contacted the FBI, and then locked the box up until they could send for it. It's possible that the malware could've been traced to a childporn ring, or, at the very least, lead to the breakup/shutdown of some childporn sites.
Sure, it may have inconvenienced the office, but I think a higher purpose could've been served here.
At the very least, you could make a disk image to give them, instead of the full computer...and then restored the box for the client. If it was just connecting on a Novell network (and still successfully getting the material), then it's unlikely that the malware was tied to any particular hardware (eg - Pr0n dialer), so they could've installed it on a generic box in their own lab.
Microsoft Excel sports this functionality with a scroll wheel. Scrolling the wheel zooms you in and out of the spreadsheet, which helps you get to particular cells very quickly.
Valve's Hammer Editor does the same thing. I used this extensively, as it was almost the only way to navigate levels efficiently.
Considering the scope and ramifications of UCITA-like bills that had been pushed through in other states, I find it odd that this didn't make front-page news. It's clearly great news, and something we can all breathe a little easier about hearing.
Additionally, Slashdot didn't post anything about Senator Hollings announcing his retirement next year, which is also very good news for the/. community. Surely we can find room to insert this between the SCO stories, right?
I think Taco screwed up the newspost. It should read "What this means is that government can consider IBM's Linux solutions when making purchasing decisions. IBM got the highest rating possible."
It hasn't been five minutes since I posted this comment and I've already figured out what the problem is.
In order to set up the language support, you must go to View -> Character Coding -> Customize..., and add the language support you want for browser rendering. This is *not* at all what the popup message indicates, and seems like something that needs to be present in Preferences as well, and more clearly labelled. If a person is likely to be using a web browser in more than one language, then they'll probably want to configure all the language options all at once, so there's no sense in putting them in two separate places in the application.
So, kudos to Moz for a lightweight multi-language browser, but demerits for making it counter-intuitive to configure.
Some of the new features include Composer enhancements, Chatzilla logging, multiple tab window closing confirmation, and quicksearch support in about:config.
Oh thank Dog.
This is my only gripe about tabbed browsing, as it makes life annoying for people who are switching over from IE and haven't used a tabbed browser before. I can't count the number of times I've absent-mindedly clicked on the closing X in the window bar as opposed to the lower X for the tabs...
Now, if only they could fix the issue with multi-language support in Moz 1.4 Win32. Every time I go to a Japanese website I get a notification telling me that I need to install a language pack, but so far as I can tell, I've done this. The popup doesn't say exactly where to go to configure this in Preferences, and as far as I can tell, I've done set it up already (Preferences -> Navigator -> Languages), and it's not doing anything. So, either the language support is broken, or the instructions/setup procedure are non-intuitive.
Dynamix did port the original TIM plus TEMIM to Windows, and released it on CD. Generally speaking, the speed is manageable. Last time I played it was on a P2-400 laptop running WinNT. You might want to keep an eye out for that, or, if you come up empty, reply to this post and I'll see about setting you up.

Why no Slashdot articles about the GP32 and all the development efforts on that system?
Maybe because everyone would bitch about dupes?

Concentrating on the work of Scott McLoud it also mentions geek favourites Dilbert and The Matrix, among others.
Is this an unintentional spelling error of Scott's last name, or an intentional jab at what some people think of his ideals?
Your ideas intrigue me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
