They should take digital photos of the theives and put them in embarressing and gruesom settings during the game. Maybe even make it so the player has to vaporize each thief....that would be FUN!!
Would it be possible to create a web browser than runs as a java applet within IE? I'm thinking...port Mozilla to Java....create an applet. Then Let people with IE only systems go to the applet page and execute the Mozilla Java application and BAM! They're running Mozilla (or some browser) without installing it.
It's hilarious watching people pee their pants about a product that MAY NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY. Did'nt the founders of google say that gmail is being TESTED. It just does not occur to people that they may not ever deploy it in production....for reasons completely different than all the hair pulling that people are doing.
If we are going to start passing laws against "possible products" why don't we go into the research labs of Microsoft or Orcale or Sun or RedHat or whomever....write down all the things we object to and then pass laws to restrict their development. THEN we'll all be safe and secure! Riiiight
Wait until it comes out...then bitch and moan, but to do so while it's in development is goofy. Ideas (even bad ones) are routinely batted around inside places like google and other companies. Just because you see them in alpha or beta does not MEAN you are going to see them in the final.
Just because Microsoft says you cannot sue them does not mean your lawyer can't walk down to the courthouse and file a suit ANYWAY. Now the Microsoft Lawyer can hold his breath at the preliminary hearing all he wants complaining that the defendant is not allowed to be in the courtroom, but the judge can still rule that the plaintiff has valid grounds for a suit.
I can sue you for ANYTHING....including wearing a bad shirt, it may just be thrown out of court...or may NOT.
The point about Gattaca was the fact that all they were doing was taking the statistics out of the selection process...no direct manipulation of genes were being done.
What happend in that film could start happing today!
I've read all the high rated "funny" and "interesting" comments thus far.
It's amazing how people are ready to take a hard dump on the movie before it's even released. It's even more amazing how people take one word "surfing" out of a press release or news report and negative fantasize until they are blue in the face like somebody who is REALLY constipated.
But the fact of the matter is.....just about every one of them will be at the theater within 2 weeks of release, ready to pay their 7-10 bucks (or equivelant currency) to see it.
Maybe their expectations will be so low that they might actually like it.
Historically every time RedHat distros have jumped major kernel releases the train wreck after the release took a couple of months to iron itself out. I'd recommend to anybody who wants to use FC 2 (and don't want to deal with the odd kernel problems) wait 2 to 4 months before doing an install. That way the major kinks will be ironed out.
I did'nt want to upgrade my servers from RH 9 to Rh Enterprise, so I waited until LAST week to install FC 1.
It's hilarious that people ACTUALLY thought I'm doing this...
Now it IS feasable....
I suppose you could do 1) Internal modem and then try to use other modems via USB...but how would you power them?....I thought I'd get a "funny" rating!
On a serious note.... I HAVE done PPP multilink using a uunet account at home when I moved into a new house and was waiting on the installation of my cable modem. I bound three phone lines together.
Latency sucked! Often it took multiple tries because each modem had to be connected to a modem bank that was on the same router. AND I was charged triple...a connect time for each modem connected.
Was it worth it...probably not...was it cool to see it work. Yep!
I'm getting decent speeds by taking three airphones (three seat wide section) and using a uunet dialup account to bind all three together using ppp multilink. I just charge the airtime back to my company!
I tried to use more phones from the passengers seats infront and behind me....but the cords are too short! DAMN!!
Read the article before posting. That way you don't shoot yourself in the foot when making a statement about what an application can or cannot do...
>> From the Article... And unlike pure Web applications, the new software is designed to be used offline, so mobile users on laptops or handheld devices can connect, quickly access applications and disconnect to work offline. When they connect, the Workplace software synchronizes their work with server-based applications
The prices were decent, still too high on itunes. Now they are going to jack it up!?? Looks like I'll be going back to buying used CD's again. Or how bout the local library!
I've asked this question a couple of times on usenet but could never really get an answer.
Lets say I want to restrict Gnutella, or Emule, or Gnutella 2 to Internet2 traffic only and my local university or lab peers with both networks. Is there a way that I can restrict the application (Shareaza for example) to only Internet2 connected sites without breaking access for other software (like web browsing) to the regular internet?

Any thoughts?
The article states that you need over 5 Mb/s to stream DVD quality video to consumers. Sure...if you are using Mpeg-2...
I've used the VideoLan player to stream a 3 Mb/s Xvid + 5.1 Surround AC3 stream with little or no buffering directly to my cable modem.
It works, and it's as good as DVD. Most cable modems are capable of at least 2.5 Mb/s. The only problem is network conjestion.
Can anybody give an update on what the thinking inside the BSD community on the Xfree86 vx X.org is? Do they plan on changing or staying with Xfree86?
Just make sure that the meal you buy....is the ONLY meal of the day. Cause the caloric count is just about all you'd need!
Ironically.....I'm eating a double cheeseburger from Micky D's as I type this.
Just think....
McDonalds could outfit all of their trucks with used French Fry Oil...and then evertime you saw one pass you'd smell that wonderful French Fry Aroma!
Seriously......They COULD do this!
Shame on all you troll trashing naysayers that automatically ASSumed that SpecOps was just a ripoff /Scam company!
I'm willing to admit that in the end it still may be a scam. BUT I'm also willing to wait and see before passing judgement! Are you?

IANAL....BUT....in the U.S.

Dear Valve,
You should Hire this guy for your promo department. He could make case mods and VALVE could hold contests to win the systems!
The point about Gattaca was the fact that all they were doing was taking the statistics out of the selection process...no direct manipulation of genes were being done.
What happend in that film could start happing today!
Those who hated THX1138 probabaly hated films like Gattaca as well. Which I thought, like THX1138 had some interesting "deep" overtones as well.
If you want a popcorn and soda movie...go see one. Just because you hate movies that make you think does not mean they are bad!

Regardless of the kinks, Fedora IS a cool distro!
Well....
I hate to say it, but if they want a quick fix for ratings. Just add more sex appeal like they did with voyager.
Contrary to many trekkers snearing at the idea. I LIKE the idea of adding gratuitous sex to the series!
HAHAHA

Then phrase your question to ask something specific instead of asking a question the article answers.
You said "What happens if the network is down"
The article says
"the new software is designed to be used offline"
offline = no network.....or the software is designed to be designed to be used with no network.
I don't debate that it does not answer your more specific question.
Bah...

So you are saying that a graphics card could be good for something like seti@home? Or am I completely wrong?
Solution:
a: Check the local library for your CD. If it's not there...go to step B.
b: Buy used CD's
c: When you are done "listening" to your used CD(s), donate them to their local library.
Pretty soon the Library will have a decent collection for everybody!
The prices were decent, still too high on itunes. Now they are going to jack it up!?? Looks like I'll be going back to buying used CD's again. Or how bout the local library!
If I took the job, could I sub-contract it to my little brother and just give him a small cut? Then I could sit back and watch the $$$ roll in!
The other peer to peer apps will not restrict you to I2 sites ONLY.
If you could restrict the other Peer to Peer apps to I2 only, it would keep commercial internet peers that are slow from impacting your downloads.
