I have the lastest 1.0-3xxx drivers from nvidia and I can run quake 3 etc etc properly. However this demo refuses to run, saying it needs Xig-Nonstandard something or other. Is my card too old?
what do u mean "a pity about the rugby?" . NZ just won the world sevens and womens world cup. In addition the all blacks won all their games in europe (unlike the aussies) and a new zealand team just won the super 12. Nz rugby is on the up and up. Just watch us clean sweep the tri nations and the world cup on aussie soil.
If we were looking at teraforming the surface of mars then kickstarting the greeenhouse effect would be much easier if we used other chemicals such as methane and CFCs. These chemicals are much much more effective at trapping heat than C02 pound for pound.
Singapore, which touts itself as the e-capital of asia came very close to banning internet cafes and in particular half - life due to the "violent nature" of the games.
Officially the government cited "incidents" where gangs would resolve their problems with a game of counterstrike rather than a good old fashioned fist fights as the reason for banning (temporarily) internet cafes
However the rumored reason is that an official high in the ministry of education had a son who was performing badly at school (school is very very important here) and blamed the poor grades on time spent playing half life. After going to confront the owner of the internet cafe his son frequented, a shouting match ensured in which the official declared that he would ban internet cafes and half - life. Sure enough it happened soon after. Thats how the cookie crumbles in a one party state
I personally think this movie is excellent - do not miss it. However make sure you read Mark Bowen's book for more history than the movie has time to convey. But I have one nitpick
THEY NEVER MENTION THE COMBAT JACK
In the book all of the rangers are obsessed with having the wierdess jack. So during the middle of one firefight when some of the troopers are nuts from the shell shock one of them whips out his trouser snake and starts going for it. Hence the combat jack. Now you know why army guys are a bit nuts
Look at the guy that posted this story. His nick is SickKiwi which tells me that this guy is a New Zealander. Rural new zealand is not full of rednecks, in fact im willing to bet that new zealand farmers are some of the most technologically advanced and intelligent farmers in the world.
Most dairy farmers I know have 4 year argriculture degrees. Market conditions demand that they be smart-New Zealand's position means that shipping costs are high so produce has to be top notch to sell overseas.
Case in point, my cousin uses a farm management program which contains a map generated for sat photographs that allows him to see grass growth rates, possible sheep density etc. It even schedules farm tasks so that workers can be called in just in time. How did he learn this program-? Free training from the NZ government. Its worth it
"Is the way to finally break the main dilemma of the hydrogen economy? (That it takes more energy to make the hydrogen than you gain in using it.)"
Unfortunately in the real world it is impossible to make hydrogen from water that holds more potential energy thany you put in. There are always inefficencies in the conversion process, and this process is likely to lose a lot of the solar energy in transmission through the atmosphere. The thing about hydrogen that people forget is that it is just a store for energy that has to be "charged" as it were by separating it from water, rather than a energy source in itself like traditional fossil fuels. However this hydrogen conversion system is better than most in that the energy source for the conversion process is largely free.
Kerry Packer likes to claim he is the true blue australian tycoon, unlike his rival Rupert Murdoch.
However what this nutcase is proposing here is nothing short of ecological genocide. If large predators escape from this "park" you can kiss goodbye all of the rare and beautiful marsupial animals that inhabit his "home". If he really wants to preserve african wildlife, he can do it much more easily by offering to fund the anti poaching forces in tanzania and kenya, as well as solving rural african poverty that means many in poorer outlying areas must hunt for bushmeat which goes for a high price in Nairobi. Perhaps a biology and a reality lesson is in order Mr. Packer?
Currently its $348 million US, which is about the TOC of a nuclear reactor of the same capacity
Throw in credits from carbon trading, valuable research into the technology, bragging rights and the ability
to wean australia's fossil fuel dependant economy off foreign oil (australia is the world's worst polluter per captia) this is a very very good deal. Go Aussie!
No worries mate- moving to a 2.4 kernel is dead simple if you do not
want to compile a new kernel.
In debian you just run apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.xx. Edit lilo or grub, edit
the module config in/etc and your good to go. Five minutes tops.
Don't like the new kernel? Just apt-get remove it!
no worries mate.
I too live in with my SO and she doesn't put out as much as I would like.
Its just an analogy to point out the hypocrisy of regulating porn like this
I doubt there is anyone in this position
Perhaps the money would be better spent on extremely rapid rocket counter battery fire, like improving the MLRS system so that it has longer range and is response time is improved. I doubt an enemy will bother shelling US troops if they know that a rain of rockets will be landing on their head before their first shell hits the ground
While this may never make it past professional paintball leugues I would imagine that it would be snaped up by riot police the world over.
Its got everything they could need if it was covered in plexi-glass. Not only is it fast for getting the hell out of dodge, but the fill the paintballs with a peppery liquid and you have the ultimate crowd repellent. Basically an awesome and mobile extention on current paintball based crowd control weapons. Coming to a WTO meeting near you!
Ive only played paint ball a couple of times and so this question goes out to any paintball experts.
How could you use a beast like this in a game? At what point does it become "disabled." ? Obviously this ATV is pretty darn cool but I don't see how it could be used in a game situation without making the odds against "infantry" grossly unfair. Anyone care to elaborate?
Perhaps the best solution may require some creative programing in addition to hardware. If cost is no object you should be able to afford a couple of terabytes of disk storage. Divide this into two areas - one which stores compressed (tar.gz, or bz2) video and one which stores uncompressed video. Also you have want a large ram disk of about 10 GB or so (up to you). I assume you will be looking at recent footage most often. Store this in the ram disk. After it becomes a few hours old, move it (uncompressed) to the first disk area. After it becomes a few days old, compress it and move it the the second disk area.(a heavy duty perl script could take care of this) This solution should take care of poor read times for often used data.
If you liked this story on physical hacking I suggest a trip to infiltration.com. It contains guides and how-to like articles for sneaking into hotels, exploring hospital, derelict buildings and the like. Excellent reading for the armchair sneaker
Mandrake 7.2 used to rely on Xfree-xfs font server to serve up fonts instead of using the font path options in xfreeconfig to just let the server get on with its business. Unfortunately this package was buggy and seemed to fall over after 3/4 months of use. This is a common problem as many usenet postings will attest. Has this been fixed? And is kde2.1.1 built with antialiasing and a working freetype? the cooker rpms for freetype seem also to be broke
Asteroids are next to useless as weapon.
Firstly it will take months to devise "fire solution" which is useless in terms of a hairtrigger engagement. The element of surprise is completely lost when your craft take of to rendevous with the asteroid, and all it would take to shut down your plan is a quick nuclear strike by the opposing side. Thirdly the path of your asteroid has to be so precise if you want it to hit an exact target at an exact time, and you won't get that kind of accuracy with nuclear blasts. All in all it makes a pretty poor weapon

No joke guys. Python is where its at. If your feeling jaded bout computing at all, python will make you feel like a little kid at christmas

Preach it brother. Ellison is gonna learn that nz grit is more valuable than money

You gotta admit this is the ultimate in stupidity - I can have sex
24 hrs a day whenever I want, but I can't watch others between a
certain time. WTF?

hopefully paintballers in your area use biodigradable ammunition. If they don't they should be punished

nothing like
package A requires package B. install package B. package B requires package A.
in many ways packaging is so annoying that compiling from source is so much easier
