I dont even belive it would be possible using current weapory it to hit an asteroid from far enough away to stand any chance of saving us. Plus they'd spend so long forming commities with sub commited with working groups to look at the problem we'd all be dead by the time they reported back with their suggestions and drafts anyway
X has a lot of apps for it... people bitch about the lack ok apps for linux, but X actualy has a supprisingly large number when you think about it.
And I think what the parent was trying to say was would it be possible to rewrite the X client libraries so that they map all of the X11 protocol to whatever protocol picoGUI uses, so there is no emultation in picoGUI anywhere, but X apps can still run through the modified X client libraries
Thats the huge problem.. who gets to desite if a site is or isnt suitable for kids? My parents genuinely belive that Harry Potter is evil, and wont let my sister see the new film at the cinema with her friends. What about factual sites about world war II and the holocaust, because im sure some 5 year olds would find that distressing, whilst a 10 year old wouldnt, and they're both in the target audience of this domain
Its good enough for your data now, but for how long exactly? Moore's Law looks like its going to hold for the forseable future (still), so it wont be long before the 109 bit version becomes trivial and the 163 bit is doable in a reasonable time frame
Fortunatly here in the UK AFAK this doesnt happen (yet) or is very hush hush still.. It strikes me as remarkably ironic that on the one hand there is all this anti-communist/anti-china propoganda and yet we're heading towards an orwellian future more than they are.
Actualy I think this is a good thing.. the more ludicrous patents like this the more general public are likely to realise how plain wrong the patent system as it stands is (eg: swinging sideways on swings, genes etc..)
Without things like this there is no way Joe Public will ever realise anything is wrong
This would be incredibly useful in situations with LCD projectors projecting from behind the screen, so everything has to be mirrored for it to appear correct to people viewing it from the front
"...but the fact that average people can take a sound scientific principle and turn it into something physical for a handful of bills is wonderful"
Erm... the average person can't work a VCR let alone build a cyclotron... hell they probalby think a cyclotron is one of those exercise bikes from the shopping channel.
I think it depends on the genre personally. For Sci-fi films cg is generaly good. For horror films, etc CG just doesnt scare me as much at all compared to phsycological effects... CG has it's place, but is no substitue for good actors and directors
"The spokesman did say that customers who aren't happy about getting the CDs can send them back so the company can recycle them." So what about all of us lot who arent customers, but are annoyed??? And what stops them from sending the CD on again instead of recycling it which is inefficiant?

I hope they had offsite backup of anything important :-)

We should go one step furthur and have Open source porn I think actualy... mmm

Im still trying to work out how you actualy enable it at the moment though.
...compile every program down to a SINGLE instruction, designed in hardware to do whatever that program does.
:-)
Q: "Why is your code full of bugs Mr Jones?"
A: "Don't blame me its a harware issue"
For once developers could say that and still be telling the truth

Is it still not possible to get hardware acceleration working with an iBook and linux? cos last time I checked it wasnt

Dude its a pc. Its in a pumpkin, its halloween and most importantly its just COOL and wacky.
Forget latency.. what about packet loss, DDoS attacks and corrupted data???? That could be very very nasty :-)
So Does this cover the win 2k SP3 agreement then? Im not a legal expert by any means, but from what you've said it does sound rather like it would

Yet again "anti-cheat" technology that just serves to infuriate real games, and is easily bypassed/defeated by the cheaters themselves

I've deffintalty seen that error somewehere else since, but I cant rember where. Anybody care to enlighten me?
Also of interestError message hall of shame
Doest that make microsoft terrorists, and Australia justified in attacking/nuking/flattening them?

Actualy I think another company (which versign owns a partial share in) will be running the database end of things so it probably isnt a problem...
Everyone knows wallhacks are for cheating loosers with no skillz :-)
from my experiance pirated stuff is the most likely to have viruses when you download it.
