I also created a movies section, and have created various Tech-like sections. I would not be surprised at all if google monitors the most common custom sections and adds them to the primary interface, expect to see movies up there soon!
FOSS is great. They can do any or all of the above. I could fork my own version of Mozilla or Firefox right now if I felt that my development process was superior to that of the existing community. I dont see why there is such a big debate here. Do it, see how many developers flow to each side, work from there.
The problem here comes when paypal negative-izes your balance, and someone you havent warned yet sends you money. The money goes poof. I lost two auction site accounts (due to 'fraud') because of this.
* Wow, a button this is... MORE OBVIOUSLY, a button! Alright!
As opposed to windows, where buttons can appear as anything from buttons to underlined text to borderless free-form images to completely unmarked text.

This guy is taking part in two GDC sessions this week. The first one, "Why Isn't the Game Industry Making Interactive Stories," is scheduled for Thursday at 2:30pm PST, while the second one, "Burning Down the House: Game Developers Rant" is slated for Friday, also at 2:30pm PST. GDC is currently under way at the Moscone Convention Center in central San Francisco.
How about solving problems of radioactive waste disposal
How about applying comprehensive cost/benefit analyses?
ok. since nuclear waste will not decay in the forseeable lifetime of our civilization, the "cost" of nuclear power is infinite. therefore the benefit/cost ratio is zero.
renewables
What is renewable that nuclear/coal/gas-turbine/petroleum are not? Answer: nothing, unless you apply a double standard. Applying a single standard, solar is no more renwable than nuclear, coal, gas-turbine, or petroleum. Applying a single standard, solar is no more sustainable than nuclear, coal, gas-turbine, or petroleum.
you do not have to apply a double standard, you simply have to set a reasonable standard. perhaps a million years? solar power will still be producing the same output at the same rate a million years from now. nuclear, coal, gas, and petroleum will all be long gone in a few thousand. the cost of maintaining the plants is similar for every solution (and decreases under an economy of scale), so is moot.
No, the individual retains all of their rights. They simply do not GAIN any rights. If you allow a corporation of 1000 people to vote in an election, for instance, then every member of that corporation now gets 1.001 votes (their vote, plus 1/1000th of the corporations vote assuming the corporation votes its members wishes) compared to a normal citizens 1.000 votes.
Of course they can. But then other airlines could compete (on good grounds, both of privacy and convenience) by not requiring it. The problem here is that supposedly the government requires them to require ID, presumably in order to get their 'airline license' or whatever.
That is just it. Paypal *IS* verified and bonded. And they dont have to give you the hardware. I guarantee there will be a way to interface this new system with paypal's existing 'instant payment notification' system, and they submit the payments with your own hacked-together hardware.
in the month it takes for the complaints to come in you will have already withdrawn the money from your completely anonymous paypal account (who i am sure will have the cash to convince visa to give them access to this system) and be long gone.
have you turned off the default DRI extension? turned on RENDER extension? the nvidia drive RENDER option? im talking silky smooth, whole window per-pixel updates as fast as i can move my mouse (100+ "FPS").
What the other replier said. I can do alpha blending and smooth resizing in *SOFTWARE* on a machine slower than that. You have multiple problems, not the least of which is probably that your desktop isnt accelerated (i believe you need to enable the XRender extension? not sure, not my forte, i followed the instructions in the nvidia README and things 'just worked')
This method is known as cross stitching, and its pretty easy to find software to plan it out. If you plan to do it on a smaller scale you might want to consider techniques for producing stitches that look the same (no ugly lines) from both sides, which about quadruples the stitch planning complexity.
I bought the game from my local GameStop 2 weeks ago, and the friend that I gave my guest pass to just got his copy from our local Hastings where they have about 20 copies on the shelves.
I get 20-25 FPS in windows and 25-30 in linux. Both drop when I enter a new zone, then come back up to normal over the course of about a monite. I guess I should note that I have a GF FX 5500 256MB with minimal graphical options turned on and play in windowed mode most of the time.
Thats the really sad part. Very shortly, most likely with the release of Longhorn, Linux is going to have better windows compatibility than windows does! There are already windows games that cant or wont run in 'modern' win32 platforms, which run just fine under cedega. This problem is going to get worse (or better, depending on your perspective) the longer windows continues to develop.

grandfather clause. It is sad that they have to rush this to implementation just to beat the legislation out the door.
wtf is MxO? I consider myself somewhat versed in the realm of MMOGs and I have never encountered that particular acronym.

I would like to counter this with a link to http://www.admuncher.com which is transparent and more featureful, imho.

The saddest part of this comment is that evvk probably thinks the "bad" zooming in the all-CG battle scenes is also bad camera work :)
But your recording *IS* for "Quality Assurance Purposes". You are assuring the judge that their quality sucks.

hell yeah. times two. i loved both of these games, and still play dark legions under dosbox with an emulated null modem connection on my LAN.
