Because with proper encoding, a 2-CD rip will look as good as the original ("as good" meaning virtually indestinguishable).
Simply not true. Any scene with highly detailed motion will show the deficiencies of these codecs. Besides, DVD format is a RELEASE format, and it is a known fact that you don't reencode a release format without loss and artifacts. SVCD's look pretty good, but everyone is trading DVD-R these days anyway. the various reencodes that appear later are for the punters, as mentioned in TFA. Transferring an entire DVD is small potatoes these days.
somehow I copied only the resource forks of 6 gigs of data. I ended up with a bunch of empty files. This was screwing around with 'ditto' in terminal, which attempts to handle the resource fork for hostile filesystems (FAT, NTFS, etc) since 'cp' doesn't. That almost applies here.;)
I have given up McDonalds and Microsoft for lent, but what doesn't matter are consumers.
Businesses are locked in, by office and windows. Even mac users (in the business world) are locked in by Microsoft Office. As a desktop support guy, I do my part (tell them to use safari, use mozilla, use firefox), but I have to say the lock in is really in the minds of the drones. When I ask if they have heard of firefox, its a browser they say, what is a 'browser?' You see, to almost everyone non tech Explorer = Internet or AOL = Internet. Presentations = Powerpoint, Number Stuff = Excel, Writing = Word. End of story.
It has been an interesting year for me, I started as a mac and unix admin that had barely used windows for anything but playing Doom in 1995, and then Q3A and Unreal Tournament in 1998-9. I gave up windows again as the mac and unix stuff started getting heavy again with the release of os x. I was happy in my production shop with SGI server, and studio of macs, there were more than enough MCSE's on staff to look at or talk me through windows stuff (usually it was just click here click there check the box, hit apply, then restart the appletalk service, hit apply, etc.) So then a merger comes and I decide to hit the road. At this new job they tell me I will be doing mostly macs, but it is a novell environment with mostly windows on the non creative side. Little did I know that they would sniff me out as an adept and within 6 months I'm a full blown pc admin.
Most days just looking at a mac or 2 and 10 or 11 PC's the rest of the day. We rolled out XP and I don't know what the hell these people do, but every day I have to reimage a machine that has spyware adware or viruses. It really is crazy, because if you just know a little bit you can avoid these things completely, I'm assuming most of these people got exploited through IE vulns because we don't use outlook and they are all reading their spammy wormy trojany webmail through IE. Often when I run spybot or adaware I find upwards of 600 objects, not to mention BHO's. The story is always the same, I don't know how it got there, I don't do any dubious browsing, etc.. When I find this many things I call it a wrap and wipe the machine with a new image. Its just not worth it to try and track down every little sharp shard that is buried in the bizarre PC filesystem and registry when the home is already on a network drive, and you can wipe it clean in 30 minutes or less.
As soon as our hundreds of custom apps are all certified in sp2 we will start rolling that out. If I have 1 less virus or spy/adware call a day because of it, It will be a good thing.
Not a bad idea...but what's with the whole "this isn't the real garment, the real one has a pocket. click here to request a real picture" stuff...
from the site: Actual garment has left breast pocket with interior pen-tab.
Somehow I don't think a shirt with built in pocket protector thingy would look quite as stylish (not that it doesn't already look like something from JC Penny or Montgomery Wards).
And where do I click to get a picture of "Jim" without a shirt?
this is the internet. finding shirtless "Jims" should be no problem.
I want to recognize the nerd factor at work here, but lets face it, every red blooded american boy and lots of girls love to play video games (dont mean to exclude the other 6 continents, sorry). Playing against people that you know and in the same room is just fuking fun, geeks or no geeks. If you can get the non nerd types to buy in , then even better ! I live in NYC and have lots of friends with kids, and let me tell you, white black, puerto rican, asian, all of these kids love games. It doesn't have to be a nerd out. A halo party like the parent mentioned would still be more fun than playing at home alone. Also, if you can do it for a small cover and have drinks and snacks for sale, it is still cheaper than going to a pay per hour joint.
Believe it or not there are people who enjoy working on such tasks.

Man, I have been a mac admin for years now, and it is hard to imagine anyone falling in love with any iteration of an iBook. They have all pretty much sucked starting with the "I work at a dotcom" clamshell to the notoriously underpowered white "scratch me" g3 ibooks, to the new "Tupperware" Edition G4. The powerbooks are a different story though, we fight over them at work. We have had a lot of probs with 12" PB's tho, with one that was declared 'unrepairable' after a 6 month stint at a repair shop. I'd love an ultra durable powerbook, something along the lines of the panasonic toughbook concept, where they drop tested it from 36" on every side, corner and edge. In the real world these things get dropped, spilled on, and generally abused.
yeah, yours is better and funnier. He should step down immediately !
****FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE****
Longtime Slashdot.org member Ligur (453963) has been selected to replace Assistant U.S. Attorneey Greg Nyhus. Nyhus, although promising, proved unable to form relevent analogies in meetings with the press. Ligur, although not formally trained in law (a condition known as IANAL) is highly knowledgeable in general subjects, has excellent karma, and is frequently moderated to +5 funny.
Nethack also worked on SO MANY platforms, I heard about it on a bbs, and was able to download a copy for my atari ST. I also had a shell account at work that I compiled it on (we had vt 100 terminals on our desk back then). I looked on the downloads page, and there are unofficial versions for things like a psion and zaurus, and official versions for dos, all windows releases, atari, amiga, os/2, mac, windows ce, and linux. People will port it to any platform. Back then it was the best dungeon game you could play, and once you are hooked on it there is no turning back. I had never played a game that seemed so simple (kill bad things, get treasure, escape) that could become so complex. My nethack buddy always compared it to chess, in that you have to try to think ahead always. Do you really want to drink that unidentified potion in the gnomish mines and risk hallucination ? etc etc..
Nethack players are used to the rest of the world 'not getting it', but we love showing the door to newbies, knowing that there is a certain kind of nerd that lives for things like this.
Funny story, one of the network administrators was at my desktop helping me with something, and I had to explain the Nethack icon on my desktop to her... I saw she was looking at it very nervously....muahahahahaha
Your anecdotal evidence is compelling, but I doubt you update macs in your environment even the week they are released.
I know the cracky feeling of wanting to install updates when they come out, I am exactly like that. We need to be extremely careful with updates on the floor though. Imagine, this update is being released 2 weeks from the close of Q4, what If all of a sudden quark had problems, or someone with admin access installed it and wiped out a Firewire drive with hires art on it. I know, backup of the backup of the backup, but these things happen. I helped a guy today who had the sole copy of lots of things on his powerbook, and his filesystem had been corrupted for probably weeks. There were overlapped files even though journaling was on, and the data in question was pitches for multi million dollar accounts, Our production studio is still on 10.3.3 because the studio manager had one hiccup on a 10.3.4 system update related to server access.
I am less concerned with doing point releases on the floor unless they can solve a problem that has actually occurred more than once in my environment.
Absolutely. The recording industry needs to get off of their collective ass. While they have wasted a decade hemming and hawing about how to control, encrypt and restrict an entire ad hoc global network has arisen to encode and distribute content via digital means. We can never watch TV shows when they are on anymore. We download arrested development, and when the DVD came out we bought that. MPAA and RIAA need to wake up and kick start digital distribution, or it will just be more of the same for years to come. The people want it and have done it themselves despite the illegalities. You can't encrypt, you can't restrict, your business model is in shambles, now is the time to rebuild.
I used to play q3a and unreal tournament every day at work, and became addicted to playing with other 'real people', so much so that playing against a computer isn't much fun for me anymore. The problem that I ( and many others ) had was that after 1/2 hour of ultra fast high twitch factor action, I was completely ready to HURL, and felt physically ill. I started playing bzflag because it is the same concept (fps) but the action is more slowed down and calculated, and the feeling of wanting to barf is gone. other pluses for me are a higher maturity level in the community, and just a great sense of community overall that I don't find on the mega games when I go online. I have been playing with some of the same players for years now. There are also several servers with active admins that keep them clean for children, no cursing, abuse, etc. and they also police cheaters and teamkillers. Gameplay is totally addictive, but obviously it isn't for everyone. This is why I like it.
What if they choke uploads completely and just leech, it is possible you know. You will still get the 'charity' packets even though you aren't uploading.
evil drunknjew said: before i got one, i actually had dreams about killing or seriously maiming people for their ipods.... so i bought one, before my dreams had a chance ot come true
May I suggest you lay off the Doom 3 and other FPS games for a while? Oh, and if you wanted one THAT bad, you could have just done the free ipod spam in your sig here like all of the other hypocrites.
I kept my email from 1989-1995, when I actually enjoyed email, subscribed to email lists such as risks, funky-music, and ran the so-deep house music mailing list. I had all of my (text only) email carefully sorted and organized by careful use of filters. I recently ran across these files (not that big on a megabyte scale, since attachments were rare back then) and read them over. It horrified me almost as much as googling my old usenet posts. The majority of the email that I saved was useless, only a few artist discographies were useful, and comp-risks has been archived elsewhere as have most mailing lists, so why bother. The only revelation I had was no wonder I got burned out on email, I used to devote so much time and attention to it (pre www, email and usenet were the interesting parts of the internet). Deleting this pile of crap was like lifting a brick off of my shoulder, why would I ever want to go back and read old email? There is nothing to be re-learned or unlearned or whatever. It takes much more time and energy to store and move these files around over the years than to select everything that is 1 year old and delete it in one fell swoop.
The non-nerd types in my office think they are going to need all of their business communication 2 years later, and even use email as a primitive file server, saving every rev. of the powerpoint deck that they are working on and emailing back and forth with someone. These people have scoffed at a 400 Megabyte limit on email boxes. For them it is truly an extra step to delete things, because they have to save the attachment which they are sure they will need (yeah right) then delete the email. I have only seen 4 or 5 users out of hundreds that keep their inbox below 50 items. More often people have ~2000 emails in their inbox around here.
I think its safe to say either you didn't rtfa, or you misunderstood it wildly. Either way, you completely missed the point here. There is nothing to 'hack', this is an old school RPG, a la Dungeons and Dragons.
You think you've got problems, Im the son of a christian scientist and a jew, and married a black catholic woman. My daughter wanted to see a picture of Heaven to see if she would like it.
Anyway, see my reply to the other person that didn't know what the christian science monitor was or what it stood for. Christian Science is just another religion, FYI, and pretty decent people if not a little strange.
Okay, "My Iron Lung" does your experience include doing research about things you know absolutely nothing about before opening your piehole on a public forum? Christian Science is not a "Science institute founded by Christians", rather it is an actual religion (wacky as THEY ALL may be) founded by a woman named Mary Baker Eddy. The Monitor's sole religious presence is a single article in each issue.
I quote from Wikipedia, full article text follows: The Christian Science Monitor is an international daily newspaper published Monday through Friday. It was founded in 1908 by Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Church of Christ, Scientist. The paper relies primarily on its own reporters in bureaus in eleven countries around the world, for the most part church members, though decreasingly so in recent decades.
Despite its name, the Monitor was not established to be a religious-themed paper, nor does it seek to directly promote the church's doctrine. A daily religious article however has appeared in every issue of the Monitor since its founding, reportedly at Eddy's direct request. Eddy also specifically provided for the inclusion of "Christian Science" in the paper's name, over the initial opposition of some of her advisors, who thought it would not go over well with a secular readership. The paper's inception was in part her response to the infamous yellow journalism of her day. Shortly after Eddy's Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures was published, the book's popularity caught the attention of Joseph Pulitzer. Eddy was 86 years old at the height of her popularity and wealth, when Pulitzer launched a campaign to wrest control of Eddy's estate from her through the attentions of his newspaper, the New York World. He eventually persuaded disaffected former friends and her one son to sue for control of her estate. The World harassed Eddy with prolonged controversy to force the case to court, where the "Next Friends Suit" was eventually dismissed. Eddy gave the Monitor the mission "to injure no man, but to bless all mankind." Pulitzer went on to endow the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for journalism, which the Monitor subsequently went on to win seven times.

I hope this helps frame rates with bzflag on my 450 mhz chassis with transplanted 500 mhz g4 cpu and ATI Radeon I pulled from some other machine.
Cuz now I am playing in 640 x 480 low detail mode for the true old school gaming experience.
Um, yeah.
