    If you go Golf Club, Football, Baseball Bat, Soccer Ball, etc...., probably far more frequently than they kill each other with guns.

  2. Re:Encrypted swap file on High Definition DVD · · Score: 1

    Ultimately, you can just output the video to a low resolution flat panel, and use a very high resolution digital video camera to re-record it. If you afterprocess it properly, there should be exactly zero quality loss.

  3. Re:Don't think of running a debugger on High Definition DVD · · Score: 1

    There's always a work around, for example you could do something silly like reducing your RAM to 32 megs and then putting your swap file on one of those "two IDE cable" disks and then read the pixel data out of the swap file using another computer.

    Then it's still feeding pixel data to the display driver, where it's in RAM, where it can be snooped.

    Requesting that someone not speak because their stupidity offends me is far from censoring them.

    I'm suprised you managed to figure out how to do it to begin with.

    Say it's a cable with tensile strength X. Say that the walker can exert 500X force with it's hydrolics.

    Now, note the direction that the walker has to push in order to break the cables, and note the direction the hydrolics are actually set up to push.

    This is a simple case of leverage, the cable wins.

    If you're going to try to randomly repeat what smart people once said, at least try to get it right.

    Remember the tuna sandwich rule: When you eat a tuna sandwich, you profit in energy. If this wasn't true, people would die of starvation eating tuna sandwiches.

    Umm... If in building a building, it is built such that a couple of kicks will make it fall down, it's not the kicker who should get his ass kicked.

    Until Linux is the most commonly used operating system out there you won't see the level of peripheral compatibility you seem to want.

    A new Dell laptop *will not go out the door at Dell* until every single feature they want to advertise it has works fine with Windows. Linux developers then have to play catch up figuring out what versions of what hardware Dell decided to include *this* time and tweaking the drivers to work with that. Unless the laptop *comes with Linux on it* or Dell claims that all the features work with Linux, you can't be suprised when random wireless hardware X doesn't work well with Linux.
