Yes, 2D games had great stories: "The princess has been kidnapped, save her by bashing bricks with your head", "Some evil guy tries to take control of the city, kick the asses of his minions, then kick his ass"
It doesn't really matter if it runs at 30 fps or at 130 fps. Of course the latter looks smoother, but just as long the fps is almost constant, it doesn't bother much. A game at 15 fps is still pretty playable if the framerate stays the same, and doesn't jump from 150 to 30 to 3 to 60 fps.

Maybe so, but unfortunalely that stuff behind the link was not music, or else I am composing a piece right now, called "the 20 second wait".
Well, as the processors are getting hotter, the heatsinks are getting bigger. Bigger means heavier. Heavier heatsinks and a big number of people using them mean that those poor retaining clips will fail on someone. And to my understanding it is not always all that clear that the heatsink is attached securely.
And also the fan might fail. If that happens when no-one is watching, the results could be one fried processor, maybe even a fried mobo. Just today at work a collague's fan failed just after he left. He booted the machine before leaving and for some reason the cpu fan stopped. Another worker noticed the strange smell coming from the machine, and we quickly turned it off. The machine seems to work still, though. So we were lucky today...
For me, The Sims has the same problem that every other "Sim" game has had: It's fun to first build up what ever you are building as normal, then fuxx0r it up. Or in the case of The Sims, just trying to figure out how lousy living conditions are good enough.
Anyway, the point is that at least I get bored with the games before long, because there is no real objective. It's a fun "toy program" that you can play with for a while, but maintaining "growth" always becomes too much of a hassle at some point.
It always will. The point is that you also move the extra heat away from whatever it is you are cooling.
Your processor might run at 70 degrees celsius without cooling, you put the coolchip against it, and the processor will be at, say, 40 degrees, while the hot side of the coolchip will be at, for example, 120 degrees.
You know what I think is the strongest form of copy protection? The shrinkwrap around the CDRs. I takes me longer to open the case than it takes to burn the cd once it is out.

Hasn't this been proved already? What's wrong with those older proofs? Like the atomic clock in the airplane and GPS satellites?
One expression that is abused on Slashdot far too often, is ^H^H^H^H^H.
I hope they break that...
Clue-free as in beer or clue-free as in speech?

Is does that mean 17 and 19 square-inch?
I get tired really quickly of having my ass fragged on the net by some 14 year-old who runs circles around me.
Not to mention that when you do manage to kill someone, they start whining "cheater, wallhack, <weapon>whore!!"

They release about 10% of their energy as light, so it's pretty far from "all".

So you are saying that the flourescent bulbs that have an power rating of 15W are dimmer than the 60W incandescent bulbs? That is interesting.
There is this thing called gravity, you know.

HTH HAND

They will have all the credits that they need to polute two to three times more per capita.
So does Finland, 76% forest compared to 54% of Canada. Sweden has 68%, Brazil 58%, Congo 77%, USA 30%(CIA world factbook)
I thing Thorvald takes his role much too lightly.
What role?

Linux is not a religion.
Welcome to capitalism.
There's your niche, go earn top dollar.
Does it mean crappy cd-burners can't get faster?
Even though they fail to burn cds, they must not spin fast enough for them to disintegrate.
*rimshot*
Gattaca: good.
eXistenZ: shit.
Like I have said before, the director cheated, and the plot basicly was "it was all a dream." eXistenZ sucks.

A secret isn't the same thing as a spoiler. And some people avoid official sites of tv series and movies because they might contain spoilers.
Too bad the processor isn't the biggest powerhog. The thing has an LCD and a hard drive.
