Give it up already. I mean once you pass 60fps you really don't need any more power since most games get boring before you notice the sub-pixel accuracies your new GeForce 1800x [running at a cool 1.5Ghz] etc....
I mean can you picture this in a copororate world? Yes sir, we need the new Intel processors for our medical lab. Why? Well sir they get 200 FPS in Quake3.
ok its not over two years but is going on quite some time now. [since october 2001 according to io.com].
I really think/. should have checked up the source of the story first. And that the devkit's are not about ripping ROMs but actually writing your own GBA programs...
Stupid anal audiophiles. Can't you just play music as a background task in your mind? I mean I play my small collection of mp3s [around 3k] all the time, kinda like the radio. I don't really pay much attention to the songs let alone how much gibbs phenonemon I can hear...
For the record, stop whining. Get a life. Or at least learn how to use a decent MP3 codec then stop whining.
At 192kbps most MP3s [re: all I've heard] sound just like the CD on my amplified computer speakers [altec lansing 60w system, sounds cool]. Sure definately if you spend the 150k on a sound studio you can buy a 50$ SACD. For the 99% of the rest of us we will either ignore CD's or just buy cheaper ones.
Not entirely true about the competition. My friends first computer was an IBM 80286, his second was a Mac LC475 [the slim one that is flat ]....
In the early days of IBM style PC's [e.g. anything non-mac] many people strayed from the IBM line of thinking to MacOS simply because GUIs are better...
Problem is your causing more work for an already over-taxed PTO.
There are legitimate claims for patents [it happens!] but this "lets dillute the roads" method is just going to make it harder for the PTO to validate claims and in the end either the PTO will blow up [too much stuff inside the building it will have to give sooner or later] or the PTO will use *automated* rubber stamps!
Then we will see patents on methods of delivering oxygen to the blood stream via a semi-permeable membrane and a network of tubules [e.g. the lungs!]
Can I stick double-sided tape on the back of it, and hope it picks up some of the other junk in my mailbox?
hehehehehe, I doubt it. Mostly the rules exist to prevent fraud, e.g. you can't open the package cuz what is to stop you from faking the addresses then having it RTS'shipped for free or something.
Probably some other reasons but since I was only a cashier lacky they didn't tell me.
While I generally don't approve of violence in any form I have to agree here. I get a contant barrage of not only spam [mostly from korea] but also tons of stupid klez viruses.
I personally think that stupid non-informed users should have their rights to use computers taken away. They did it to Mitnick why not to others?
I mean if you get behind the wheel of a car and drive GTA3 style you get your license taken away. Why isn't reckless behaviour with a network connection punishable in the same spirit?
Um, no. In canada guns/rifles must be properly stored that means locked ammo, trigger locked firearms, etc..
You cannot just leave a loaded.38 under your pillow or something like that.
I have nothing against gun ownership, provided the owners are responsible and don't adopt your "shit happens why bother protecting ourselves" attitude like yours.
You know, I would be seriously pissed if some guy broke into my house, stole my rifle, used it to shoot and kill a cop, and the police arrested me for owning the murder weapon.
Not to crack out my anti-gun rhetoric but if anyone can just waltz into your house and steal a fully functional and loaded gun/rifle then you seriously ought to re-think your storage accomodations.
Problem is on both sides of the coins. The consumers were/still are so eager to get their own terrabit/sec connection and the ISPs are all too greedy to advertise what they are actually capable of providing.
The very fact that this amino acid was overlooked for so long suggests that it's direct importance to our lives is negligible; it's relevance is more about filling the final gaps in an overall picture.
That is assuming of course that our current picture is accurate. Don't forget that for the most part our understanding in science is not based on absolutely insoluable facts yet simply the available facts at the time.
While this AA may not be a huge player I wouldn't simply dismiss new discoveries based on that line of thinking.

Why is Quake the benchmark of a good processor? Maybe computers can do something other than cache intense graphics?
Gah.

devkitadv is a GCC port for the GBA which has been around for OVER TWO YEARS.
Flash carts from www.visoly.com have been around for about the same.
Get with the times.

Yeah, but how many people will use that feature anyways?

True, however, this isn't Microsoft, it's Redhat, and they're not a monopoly.
Technically MSFT wasn't a monopoly in the beginning either. They had IBM DOS, OS/2 and MacOS [finder, whatever] to compete with in the early days.
Who knows, perhaps 10 years from now we will be RH bashers instead?
Tom
Actually I am a computer nerd, but not a geek, personally biting the head off a chicken would scare me.
Tom
I'm probably the most pragmatic bitch with a cause in town. However, when I watched Ep. II I actually got swept up into it.
All in all its just entertainment, it was fun and I hope they keep making them.

um, isn't the l33t-speak for lasor l4x0r where xor sounds like "zore"

In canada [I worked at a postal outlet] if you change the configuration of the package [which includes opening it] then you cannot RTS it.
As you originally said the best remedy is to write RTMF or RTS it

The web server is the "paper" that stuff is published on. The publisher is the person that uses that "paper" to put their material on public show
If you are gonna act all growed-up and use analogies at least get them right. The correct analogies are this
the clients screen => paper
the web server => courier
the html creator => author
So in this case MSFT is just the courier they didn't actually make the content.
You are probably thinking of TV stations where they are liable but most times what you see on TV was produced by that station originally anyways!
The same baton-wielding people you trust to defend your city, I think they are called the "police".
