Weren't blue lasers supposed to be part of the original DVD spec in the very beginning? 27GB per disc or something like that? Now they basically said, hey! instead of making the discs store more data, we're just gonna compress the hell out of it (it will look like total SH**, completely ruining the whole point of HIGH DEFINITION!!).
Does anyone else think they're just digging a whole here in delaying a larger capacity format?
Well I found the background for the codename 'Banias' which ties into the mention that it's being developed in Israel. But I couldn't find a damn thing about the codename 'Prescott'. Anyone? Could it be really referring to the British deputy prime minister?
Banias, formerly Caesarea Philippi, is the Arabic name for the Hellenistic city of Paneas whose name derives from Pan, the Greek god of herds and shepherds. His cult was observed in a large cave at the foot of Mount Hermon, where a source of the River Jordan emerges.
Pepperdine University has conducted digs in the area that have unearthed parts of a palace from Herod Agrippa II. Modern-day Banias is located in Israel, where the Intel design team for the new chip is based. The company typically codenames its chips after geographical features.
Check out FSGS, it's available for windows and linux and works great. I tested it at a lan party, we played 4 or 5 8-player starcraft games with it on the local LAN using TCP/IP!! (NO MORE IPX!!!).
3. It's sent To: a special purpose address within a couple of days of creating that address. (So I can post to newsgroups with addresses like jb10202 which will be valid for a couple of days for replies only)
I use these guys and I never get spam, the rare ocasion I do, I know who leaked it/sold it... or where it was harvested from.
1. The mail claims to be From someone I have pre-approved. 2. It's from a mailing list I've registered with.
4. The email contains a special approval code to bypass the checking.
The way you describe it make's sense. It's almost like a stateful firewal for email. Block all incoming, with certain exceptions. Allow all outgoing. Allow the responses to those back in.
Hmm. Perhaps my SMTP server should keep track of who I send email to, so it can automatically accept the replies and block the others. There'd be problems with that of course, since replies don't always come from the same address. But it's an idea to play with.
This program does a nice job. Back when this case was actually started it was very easy to nuke IE and and have very light and clean OS, despite microsoft's claims that it was part of the core os (as if it was implemented in the kernel.. ha!)
Now it seems as of Win2K SP2, IEEradictor no longer works. I'm sure thats just due to changes in the way IE is added in, and with a little work probably could be made to work again. But I think this case is in regards to Windows 95, back when microsoft got on the warpath for browser dominance

Wrong key-generator. Thats the older one that spits out one of five keys. The second one posted is the one that does a brute-force search of the keyspace.
Does anyone else get a hard-on when they look at stuff like http://www.mosix.org/pics/index.html this?? OMG. I wish I had 40 boxes in my basement to do my evil bidding. Mwhahaha...
The current highest-end I think is 5 Megapixels. There are actually 15 Million individual sensors on that camera. Now each one can record the exact color individually, so thoretically, we should see cameras with this Foveon sensor, at least 10+ Megapixel for higher end.
When the parts get cheaper, this means price drops across the board for current resolutions, because to get 3MP of image data, you no longer need 9 million sensors, just 3 =).
I'm glad I haven't bothered to upgrade from my Olympus D400Z yet. 1280x960 now, maybe 3000x2000 tomorrow !!!
What I do is set my keyword search url to Google's "I'm feeling lucky", and enable keyword searching.
..so typing any one word, product name, etc, will 75-80% of the time get me to the website I want. If not,I go back and do a regular google search. I wish there was a way to go to the highest rank result *AND* still show the list in sidebar. (that way if the top ranked site isnt quite what you wanted you could just look at the next few really quickly.
The 'y'-down thing only works if you've typed it before;-)
*cough* It's a java applet... VERY nicely done (go check out www.kaon.com for more). They say right on the page "no plugin required". This is an excellent example of what java is capable of. I wish It more places
Then there was Windows 3.11 (3.1 was so buggy it was quickly replaced by a much needed upgrade version; I doubt anyone here actually used Win 3.1 proper). Then 95 and the (usable, if unstable) upgrades for that.
Acutally 3.1 was around for a while, but IIRC, 3.1 did not have a native TCP/IP stack. My first internet and modem ISP experiences were with 3.1 and I used it for the better part of a year. Windows 3.11 (or commonly known as Windows for Workgroups or WfWg) added more support for networking and filesharing, and added a native TCP/IP stack (previously microsoft only supplied NetBEUI and IPX).
The whole point of NAT is to obscure and hide the internals of the network, the outside only sees ONE computer. The only possible thing they can look for are signatures (like all connections coming from a source port in the 60,000's range -- Linux defaults to this for ipchains IIRC), but these are adjustable of course, and in no way are proof of NAT being used.
Let these two behemoths duke it out while open source initiatives quietly outflank them both
It IS open source... well Netscape 6.2 at least... it's an open source browser. It's based almost entirely on mozilla.org code ( www.mozilla.org ) with a few Netscape tweaks.

It works for westwood games too (Red Alert, etc).

Dude, get a newer build. AFAIC, none of the problems you listed are issues anymore.
In that case, the source to ANYTHING microsoft has written should do the trick ;)
Duh.

This little Gem from the 80's is just great!
yeah, here it is:
3d labs proposes opengl 2.0
and some other ones for perspective:
OpenGL Article 1
Open GL Article 2
Wasn't there supposed to be some great new version of Open GL to take on Direct X? I guess that'll never happen though.
