Ultima Underworld was released a couple of months earlier than Wolfenstein 3D, and was technically superior to Wolfenstein's engine (in some ways surpassing Doom's engine too). The frame rate isn't too impressive though...
With the lack of decent games (especially those that are playable under linux or wine) recently, I found myself digging out Diablo 2 and Baldur's Gate 2 to play.
Waiting on Diablo 3 and the new Monkey Island though
Btrfs (B-tree FS or "Butter FS"[1][2]) is a copy-on-write file system for Linux announced by Oracle in 2007 and published under the GNU General Public License (GPL).[3] It originated as a response to the ZFS filesystem and is expected to be free of many of the limitations that other Linux filesystems currently have.
A possible merge? Or the possible death of one or the other?
Cameras aren't so much of a problem, because it is pretty much obvious to anyone around what it is used for. Whereas with a camera phones, you can be pretending to be SMSing while discretely taking a shot of someone else while in a changing room.
Still a noob, but I've been doing a little research about DSLRs. Thinking of buying second hand, a Nikon D80 and a 18-105mm VR lens. Am I making a mistake?
Add dedicated hardware to an embedded system just so that it can perform hashing? Given a choice between the above and picking a hash function that can run decently on the 32 bit processors like ARM, MIPS and x86, I highly doubt the first option will be chosen.
Nvidia never lost the performance crown. AMD did not even bothered to compete with Nvidia for performance at the high end. Read this excellent article.
What AMD did with the RV770 series was to totally pwn everything below the super high end. When the 4870 was released at $299, it was generally worse than GTX280, but it easily beat the GTX260 which was priced at $399. When the 4850 was released at $199, it easily matched the 9800GTX which was priced at $249

Nevertheless, at least one Apple employee will be fired.
The rest got off the hook by having "Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire" in their playlists

How does regenerative braking work in the high seas?
void vote(int candidate)
{
switch (candidate)
{
case GEORGE_BUSH:
totalVotes[GEORGE_BUSH] ++;
case AL_GORE:
totalVotes[AL_GORE] ++;
break;
}
}
Additions just aren't so simple anymore in concurrent computing. The obvious way to do addition in gcc c would be:
totalVotes[candidate]++;
but this will totally screw up the vote count, whereas
__sync_add_and_fetch(&totalVotes[candidate], 1);
gets it right.
Probably the same way using:
totalVotes[candidate]++;
screws up.. whereas
__sync_add_and_fetch(&totalVotes[candidate], 1);
gets it right.

Water: 4.186 J/cm^3/K
Air: 0.001297 J/cm^3/K
3227 is closer to 3000 than 4000 I guess.. but at least he got the right orders of magnitude
You must be new here.
Hint: it starts with P and ends with N
It's called the Irene Demova virus, right?

...die by the patents.
So I went to CADIE's favourite places, and noticed Redmond, WA.
Hmm... clicked on it, and...
WTF?! CADIE RICKROLLED ME!!
KDE gave birth to the KHTML, no one ever heard of KHTML outside of the small town called KDE where he was borne.
Apple adopted KHTML, renamed him to Webkit and made him a world wide poster child.
Better?

I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.

To encourage car owners to scrap cars before 10 years, we have
1. Road tax increases for cars > 10 years old
2. Rebates for cars unregistered before 10 years
The majority of the cars on the roads here are 10 years old. Cars unregistered are either scrapped or exported to another country for resale.
Thanks for all the good advice on the thread. :/

Between Minesweeper and Tetris, I can see why Tetris helps with Post Traumatic Stress better than Minesweeper.
I don't get it :(
