While what you're saying may be true (I haven't read the book in awhile), it's definitely the case that everyone involved in spaceflight in the book went through cryogenic freezing. Voyages still took a long time, and it was necessary to "sleep" so that they weren't old or dead by the time they arrived at their destination.
Have you seen some of the Unreal 2 screenshots? They depict full landscapes with rolling hills, trees, etc. I can see 3D card makers scrambling to keep up.
No kidding. What ever happened to *story lines* like Doom, Duke Nukem, Unreal (the original first person version) and Half Life? Hell, even Quake 2 had some atmosphere, unlike Quake 3.
People make a similar mistake in regard to repetitive strain injuries (RSI). Usually it's something like, "I don't have any (whatever) and I use the computer all the time!" What they fail to notice, though, is different body types, attitudes (e.g. type A personality), and so on, all influence the potential for RSI.
As far as I know, AGP video cards have the capability of using system RAM for graphics needs. If this new PCI doesn't support that, the AGP may stick around.
The thing about hate about Slashdot is the hypocrisy. When you submit a comment it says something like, "Don't like what you submitted? You should have hit the Preview button." Then they act as if everything's peachy when they post the same news story twice. And not just once in awhile. This has been happening a lot lately. Duh, use a "preview button", Malda et al.
Agreed. The original post confused correlation with causation. Just because MS happened to come out with Win 98 around the time doesn't mean MS was responsible for MP3's popularity.
When I plug in boxes on campus, the NICs always "blink like mad," even when the main system is off. It must be staying current with the network for some reason.

Uh, no one said science had to be your version of "productive." See, there's this thing called curiousity...
This is not insightful. It's crap.

Good way to reply to the clueless troll.
Crap, I must have missed those since I'm running Web Washer.
more academic then useful
I mean, I know this guy just did the "only CS courses" route at college, but I swear... is it so fucking hard? THAN!

You're oodly doodly welcome!
I second that.

The Internet's sole purpose is to get porn and bomb making plans into the hands of children
Porn making plans? "Insert slot A into tab B..."

Brother is transfering files on napster, but sister wants to use the computer to check her email and use her Web browser bookmarks.
At the same time, Father wants to load up HotTeenSex.com, and Mother wants to install memory-resident spyware so she can catch Father in the act.
I find it just a weeee bit ironic that a "visual comparison" article doesn't have any pictures.
What you didn't know (until now) is that everyone in the world is an alien except you. That's why we all act so... peculiar.
Kevin is the thing you fear most: an educated black man!
Is multitasking more efficient? Shifting mental gears costs time, especially when shifting to less familiar tasks
No, it's called carelessness.
Honestly, how hard is it to check the past X posts before posting a story? Yeesh. Just imagine if real journalists did this.
Every host had seven posts. Every post has seven flames. Every flame had seven lines. Hosts, posts, flames, lines, how many trolling on Slashdot?

Naw, man, White Hats should make their counter-virus install the ultimate patch:
