The nice thing (for governments) is that hardly anyone would know what the messages were about even if we could see them, and anyone translating them differently than the government can just be labeled terrorist.
How can you ever know the truth with these things?
Wow i hate to think of just how bad the USA beer must be if you prefer our exported water with a bit of color and CO2 added that much!
fortunately we have beer as well:)
one important warning with dutch beer.. never drink oranjeboom, your hangover will start before you finish the first glass, and it doesn't taste that good either.
Ehm nope, simple market stuff, if they would go for more and are easier to make, everyone would just make female chars to sell. assuming there is any market for male chars, the price difference will be in the effort to make one. there may be many more female chars for sale though (sounds so cheap):D
Well, i haven't been able to read most of the article yet, but i think the difference is they only tested with 32 bit windows, where the opteron can't use it's extra registers etc.
..to me, what's the use? to avoid missing the emails that were false positives, you have to go through the rejected mails, so you see the spam anyway, may as well have it in my inbox, saves me switching folders. or am i missing something here?
it handles those the american way, however that's not the whole story. the court actually looks at what seems reasonable (to the dutch court) for the situation, so if you are going to use information on a website for commercial activities, you ask if you are allowed first (and would have found the EULA).
where for those click through EULAs they might well rule that since everyone knows you get nowhere without clicking on i agree, so it is reasonable that you didn't actually read it! (hasn't been in court yey afaik)
If they can figure out how DNA actually works, those should be easy to fix, just because they're not directly looking at those problems doesn't mean it can't help.
Indeed, so I bought the two DVD set today, and I will buy the other one when it gets out. I want the 30 minutes extra, but I also want to be able to see the movie without having to change DVD, so I'll need both versions, and everybody wins (I have the extra footage and a one DVD movie, and they get lots of money).
You seem to asume the old stuff takes lots of space on the CPU die, adding 64 bit only added 5% to the die space (or so AMD said when they started), so i'd expect the old 16 bit stuff to take less then that. Removing it would not help you much.
i always though it was silly how things were lost in startrek when a transmission fails, 'it's digital, the source must still be there!'
guess they were right after all, we seem to move to a situation where only one copy of a digital file can exist, with the exception of publishers who somehow will be able to make a copy.
sure there is a bottleneck it's the HDD speed, it isn't even close to saturating ATA100, in fact ATA66 would be enough.

where are they? where are we! according to this theory all inteligent life must colonise at top speed, although we reached earth orbit decades ago, no people (permanently) live there yet, we reached the moon a bit later, no people live there yet, we could have gotten to mars by now... noone even bothered to go there yet. Maybe the urge to colonise is not as big as previously thought, which would explain why we don't see aliens here, they just didn't want to leave the home planet.
not all that long, at the current useage rate of the currently known amount of uranium, we'll be out of it in 65 years see http://www.iaea.or.at/worldatom/Press/P_release/20 00/prn2600.shtml, if everyone switches to nuclear power, it'll probably be more like 30 years or less, the article mentions that they expect there is enough to go on for 300 years, but they said that more oil would be found as well, doesn't seem to happen lately (no significant amounts anyway)
Indeed, in fact, I work on embedded systems, and C++ is something we're only starting to think about, for now it's all C, and i expect that will stay for another few years, don't expect.NET as main programming language used for the software in your phone/TV anytime soon. (except interactive digital TV's but those are based on java instead)
Only if you are really, really careful, I remember reading an article that said people would live (on average) for about 650 years if there were no diseases or aging at all, because people would die in accidents (if they don't change the way they drive etc).
Still... much better than the less than 100 years we have now.
PS no i don't have a reference for this, it's been years since i read it.

i'd think the cables block the airflow, rather than start it??
oh, but they can!
:)
keep trying
This has always been the theory, but i haven't seen any significant speedup since the 60's
or if there was, it never made the headlines
and in english there is this article as well http://pcworld.idg.com.au/index.php?id=1652243086& fp=2&fpid=1
Because this dutch article says sony won: http://www.automatiseringsgids.nl/news/default.asp ?nwsId=24072
not really, linux for instance was ported to the emulated x86-64 long before the first x86-64 cpu existed :)

female chars get given all kinds of stuff, so it is easier to get them to the same level, they should be cheaper! and wow, they are, what a surprise.

Or imagine never making something new and exciting because someone might try to destroy it... don't let the terrorists win!

The Netherlands do just fine, thanks. Below sea level for a few centuries now.

Isn't Elite the first 3D game? It's the first i ever saw anyway
