It wasn't revolutionary, it wasn't convenient, and it wasn't useful. Fact of the matter is that it was unintuitive, difficult to use, and duplicated functionality - poorly - of apps we use that already do their jobs well.
No matter how big your TV, it's almost a certainty that 3x low res monitors would have more visual real-estate. More pixels.
You see more, you literally get a larger field of view.
You have a significant advantage if your resolution is higher and the game supports enhanced FOV. No TV, no matter how good, or no display no matter how big, can show you more.
This is just like trying to fight religion. Religious intolerance breeds violence, just like social intolerance breeds violence.
The intolerance of the gaming culture is what wounds society. Not the games or gaming culture itself. When you oppress a persons' culture, you get violence.
I've had my iPhone 3G since release day. I've generally been very happy with the service that I get from AT&T.
The first few months, I kept 3G service off and kept to the edge network because there were major issues with the 3G service bouncing on and off. The constant switching from 3G to Edge would severely drain the phone's battery. After that first period of time, there was a marked improvement in signal strength throughout the city. Within Manhattan, I have no problems with 3G service for making phone calls. I can't even remember the last time I lost a call.
Unfortunately, for me the iPhone is a lot less about having a phone, and more about having a little internet device that's always connected. Having full signal strength does not equate to being able to use 3G data, or fast 3G data speeds. There are many times that I've got full signal strength, but can not use the internet because of the poor signal to noise ratio. Poor SnR is something that anyone, on any carrier will experience within a heavily populated, dense, and electrified city.
Do some Google searches on every carrier in every major city and you will find that there are a LOT of unhappy people regardless of the service they have.
Quick searches of their course listings show that they all teach Verilog as an after thought. Many classes that mention Verilog in their course descriptions are actually listed as VHDL classes and don't mention Verilog at all in the course title. The most apt description of the mentality is: 'this is the good way to do it, but there are others that do it this way.'
Personally, at Columbia we were taught VHDL as a virtue of our professors being from IBM and having written the actual spice software.
I find that a large part of my programming experience deals with VM images.
SSD's kick serious butt for VM's. So if you're a serious programmer that works with multiple environments - go for the performance and just back your stuff up daily.
The writer neglects to mention that peltiers add their own heat load GREATER than their energy consumption, and that means you need additional cooling. Even if the devices themselves ran cooler, you would need a significantly larger dissipation device to handle the load which is now CPU + Peltiers, instead of just CPU.
Overclockers have been using peltiers bigger than the entire cores of CPU's to create a temperature delta below ambient for years. This is nothing new, just someone attempting to capitalize on a known effect.
To run a peltier you generally have to do the following: 1. Insulate your motherboard and CPU against condensation because peltiers typically drop your core temperature below ambient. 2. Provide a separate power supply JUST to power the peltier, because they typically need in excess of 200W to reliably cool a modern cpu 3. Add surface area to the final cooling point(radiators or heatsinks) to handle the added load of 200W+ to the cooling loop introduced by the peltier itself. This usually results in requiring a method of transport for the heat because no element that sits directly on top of a CPU could get big enough(you'd exceed the weight tolerances of the PCB materials). 4. Add significant temperature monitoring because when a peltier fails, or becomes overrun by heat, they become reverse pumps and will fry your processors faster than you can pull the plug from your PC to save it.
If you are actually in a position to be doing interviews. You should know the direction your company is headed, the technologies used, and the common issues you have internally.
The right questions and answers are truely ONLY applicable to your own site. Nobody on/. should be able to tell you what to look for, because we don't know the actual situation.
So the general complaint with people who do not like swap files is that they are slow. Instead of eliminating the need for a swap, why not just bring your swap up to speed with a ramdisk?
There are two out that I know of. One by Aspacia, and one by Gigabyte. Both of which require external power sources, but connect directly via SATA, or through the PCI bus! You end up with a 'disk' the size of the modules you placed on the ramdisk card, and viola! Stick your swap file or partition on that disk and you now have a swap operating at the saturation point of whatever bus it is connected to.
Anyone ever think they're trying to dump them all before everyone realizes -r -rw are better? I wouldn't put it past dell, I work at the Columbia Journalism IT department, and we've seen this type of dump by Dell in the past.
Just an FYI, the boys in Japan have had a 5+ghz stable p4 since March. http://son.t-next.com/ THG likes to say they do everything first, when in fact their p4 wasn't even stable at 5ghz. only 4.7ghz. And yes. It is excessive. -Zoson

Many people have beaten WOW several times since it was released. As soon as a new content patch comes out, he'll no longer have beaten the game.
Lets go kill Onyxia! -> done -> MC Released.
Lets go kill Ragnaros! -> done -> BWL released.
Lets go beat BWL! -> done -> AQ released.
Lets go beat AQ! -> done -> Naxx released.
This is nothing new, and not really an accomplishment at all.
And then you were promptly fired for writing FUD.
Nobody believes a word you say. You lost all credibility long ago.
It's just a shame the inquirer has not removed your negative, blatantly biased garbage.
nVidia has published an official response.

Get a bike.
You can drive around the circumference of the island in about 2 hours. Enjoy paradise before you're whisked away to college and never get to go back.

Headache solved.
Any video on YouTube can be forced to play back in 'high quality' mode. To do this simply add &fmt=18 to the end of the video's URL.
Of course none of this will help you if the recording is a lego rendition of what actually happened.
Remove all power cables.
You'll NEVER have a problem again!
Really!
On a more serious note.
