Who in the world needs to tote 60 gigs of MP3's around? So they're telling me the average kid which is really the target group here keeps over 12,000 songs? (5 Meg average at 128k) That's over 923 cd's if the average was 13 songs per cd.
Who in their right mind is going to try to sort through all that mess in the first place. And how much do their parents make that this person would own that many Cd's. Not to mention the passing fad's of songs and such managing that reguardless of the software application used would be a bigger nightmare.
It would make sense that it would contain maybe the space for 20 cd's of current stuff you actually listen to. And only if it could understand me talking to it cause I'm not going blind and getting carpal tunnel just to find my copy of Hotel California buried in the thing.
Seriously any company willing to market products as worthless as this deserves me selling all of the stock I own of them.
Make it sensible and cheap sub 100 and then you have a killer app. Otherwise you just have the latest tech toy for the rich.
Trus me on this once you play in multiplayer mode you're gonna be addicted to it. I also think it's a great PvP game for kids also since it's bloodless and very fun. Plus it's very good for the mouse eye co-ordination!
Not often you come across something as good as this.
Why not change to a fetch method instead of a delivery method. The Qmail author has some sort of writeup on it though I wouldnt do it justice to write about it right now since it's been a few months since reading it.
I swear by these boards.. I've got the Leadtek KNCR18D-PRO with 1 gig of ram and the ATI 9700 Pro 128mb card.. the gig of ram is in 2 PC2700 333mhz in dual DDR mode which is the equivalent 666Mhz (evil) of processing godness.
The only other enhancement I did now is putting in a 120 Gig WD Caviar Special Edition with the 8mb buffer which is supposed to outclass 10k SCSI drives.
I can afford Intel but I'll support diversity in the industry and stick with AMD processors. It's cheaper in the long run becuase to make 1gig jumps in processor speed is about 1/3 it is to do on Intel chips.. And that's not including the expensive memory if it's still a RAMBUS chipset.
With the AMD Opteron releasing soon for the Desktop market and within a few years we'll have PCI Express Serial ATA that will hopefully be approaching the gigabit level and newer optical storage mediums the normal bus will not be standard anymore. PCI Express and AMD"s Hypertransport will definately eliminate the need for it.
But finally PC's will largely be as fast as the processor and can keep up with it or maybe even give it a run for it's money.
Hopefully now programmers when converting to 64bit code will program efficiently so computing will actually show a difference.
This definately would fall under the same category of a tempest type system where you're still picking up a private camera system or monitor of something else.
Think there's a associated federal law about this.
I would have to think this one cause many times you think someone said something you'd normally see in the game. Our guild's Monarch had actually once said in a grocery store near easter when his wife said "Look a 3 foot chocolate easter bunny" and he replied "Wonder if it's hollow?"
If anyone played the game they'd know our favorite hated monsters that had hollow damage that ignored any spells whatsoever. Hated by all mages!
Wonder if I could just tell my email server to only accept encrypted connections from trusted sources to stop spam. This would definately work for seperate corporate mailservers that need to connect to eachother across the internet eliminating the need to maintain them on a private network.
One of the main desktop adoption barriers to Linux is gaming. Would it be harder to develop a openDX standard to rival DirectX or lobby MS to release the sourcecode so it can be ported to Linux/Mac.
Do you think MS would be against it or would they see the light at the end of the tunnel for MSGameStudios getting greater market penetration when their games can be ported to any PC or Console platform?
These tactics have been around in the industry for way too long. I had a roomate that used to make money off these cramming punks by telling them he had a better deal from X company and they'd give him 100 dollars to switch plus pay the switching fees and such. And he'd play all sides.
I guess they couldnt benchmark anything using 64 Bit Linux Distro's. I could swear Mandrake just released one and I'm sure with some begging a good site could get a beta of UT or something.
Jessica was contracted to Turbinegames [website] by the Themis Group [press release] where she is helping bring that game around.
It's interesting in that one chapter in the story says more programmers wont make it go faster becuase AFAIK Asheron's Call 2 the game she's bringing around has only 3 coders working full time on the game in production. It's even to the point that one of the leading websites AC2 Warcry the site manager quit out of disgust of the game's lack of vision into the "Elder" game. While the Site Manager says he still plays the game it's not the only other game with the same issues. It's a too common occurance in many new games and presents a challenge to all future game developers to not have these mistakes.
I guess the old site manager must be a progressive customer. He wants more content!
I was a contactor for Verizon Wireless, they kept me on for over a year and a half before a layoff but they also employ the same tactics. Our emails are in the form of username_ and our badges while not blaze orage they hav NON-Employee in big bold letters on the front.
We also dont get any discounts or are invited to any company events. Even the emails about it emphasize that contractors are not allow.
Basically if I was transmitting a email with a.pdf file to another scientist to verify my cold fusion experiment then this company by my agreement to their TOS would automatically have claim to my works.
Though in the US they'd have to prove that they did it first which in that case they woulnt be able to.
I recall one paper mentioning that a asteroid contains more rare metals than anything that has been mined off the face of the earth in the history of mankind.
Warcry Networks is in early phases of a Massive Online Multiplyer gaming site to represent the linux gaming community. I've read this site and hopefully I'll be able to link to a lot of their stuff as it applies to the linux gaming community.
If you remember correctly the pencil trick AMD has their own ways of preventing overclocking the CPU itself. But nothing prevents you from overclocking the motherboard.
I believe Intel probably has a function in the chip that will take whatever frequency that's given it and just convert it to the rated speed. Sort of a down converter. You can still OC the motherboard for extra performance I suppose.

Man let me tell you his beer fund was funded
Now if they ported DX over to Linux I'd be happy that way maybe more companies could port games and even MS Game Studios would profit.
Nagasaki hmmm
What kind of halflife will the PS3's have?

It's called WineX made by Transmeta I believe or transgaming not sure which.
