But is the source digital material for the film the same resolution as all the various projectors used in digital theaters? Perhaps Lucas did all the editing and transfer in higher resolution than the digital projection?
I don't think this works. When I got my own cable modem, I pulled the plug from the company-supplied modem and plugged the cable into my new modem. Nada. It wasn't until I called the cable company and told them the (cable-side) MAC for the new modem that it started working.
But what about a "mod" that just plugs in to the game port, like the DVD player adapter? That would seem ideal. Just plug it in, then boot your distro.
My guess is that the riser slot has both sets of signals available, and which user slot you get depends upon which riser card you plug in. That is: plug in the PCI riser, get a PCI slot. Plug in a AGP riser, get an AGP slot. They should reword the above to say "AGP riser that fits in place of a PCI slot."
Actually, I think I like where this is going. I'm hoping that Microsoft licensing terms become so universally oppressive that people (and institutions and corporations) start waking up and smelling the coffee. Then, finally, we might see some real action taken against Microsoft. Such as people starting to use alternatives...
But on the other hand, movies can be more convincing and can do more to blur the line between fantasy and reality. In a movie, you're watching real people do what appears to be real violence. This can be much more convincing than the artificial depictions of violence by artificial-looking characters in video games.
I think it would be easier for an unreasonable person to think "I saw someone do this in a movie, so it must be okay" rather than "I did this in a video game, so it must be okay."
This is, of course, just an opinion. I'm not trying to express any opinions about what movies or video games should or should not depict.
Yup. If you're poor, your typical biggest worry is "will I have enough money?" If you're rich like this guy is, his biggest worry might be "I hope that no one I cheated is going to kill me today". Maybe not that, exactly, but you get the picture.
When I first looked at that link, I wasn't too impressed. Then I noticed that that box has an AGP slot! Awesome! Someone further down below provides this link to what looks like the same box: http://www.american-media.com/
For public transportation to work, the city has to have the right structure. There has to be a small set of concentrated areas that people move among. The problem with most cities is that they are too spread out, and there aren't any centers of concentration to connect with any rail systems. This is usually because most cities aren't planned; they're just grown by short-sighted developers for the most part.
I looked around the site and couldn't quite understand how the cars would switch from the main track to the loading/unloading track, or from one track to another for routing. The ideas are interesting, but somehow don't seem fully baked.
It looks like they were off by a decimal place for the "100" figure. It should be 10 human genomes/sec for the transfer rate. This works out if you do the proportion for 224:80 to 27:x.
For many purposes, it wouldn't matter if the card self-destructed too easily. It's a small matter to replace a few cards that customers have accidentally destroyed. It's a big matter to replace every single card because the security has been undermined.
This is fantastic! This is much more interesting than the headliner story! It's not just a picture of a Lego coaster, it's a whole experience! I'd recommend you check it out if you haven't seen it yet.
Hmm, I thought everyone knew you could use a permanent marker to write on glass. Okay, perhaps not everyone, but anyone with enough sense to try things that are likely to work. Oh, and a paintbrush works well too.
I'm actually interested in seeing as little of LILO as possible. I already get too many time-wasting boot screens (a couple from the motherboard BIOS, one from the SCSI card, one from the stupid ethernet card, etc.).
If you want to make booting more user-friendly, then I'd suggest eliminating the scrolling boot messages for device drivers and such and try to see if there is a way to consolidate these messages into a non-scrolling status screen. Who's supposed to be able to read those messages as they fly by? I mean, sure, it's nice to have the log available to diagnose problems, but I think it was a great advancement to standardize the reports into a color-coded OK/not-OK system like we have now (with Red Hat, at least), and we should go a step further and allow the device driver boot status to be represented graphically, in some meaningful, ergonomic, extendable fashion. And maybe even stylish.

Maybe it's an apartment number and not a street address. Or perhaps they live on a circle (or other construction with houses only on one side).

>...phone-line?
Oh, this new model uses an ethernet connection, not a phone line. I guess that means making a firewall for your PVR.
Okay, here's the hacks we need:
1. Hack the PVR to avoid updating itself to the new spyware. Can you just unplug it from the phone-line?
2. Make an emulator that allows any garden-variety PC to transmit bogus or interesting programming info back to SonicBlue.

Send the author a comment.
I think the statement refers to anything that occurred AFTER the Voodoo 1. And the author also probably just had visual impact in mind.
It was 9 million pixels total, not 9 million squared. I think the resolution was quad 1920x1080 or thereabouts.
So I've seen some articles that insist the game is spelled "Asteriods", not "Asteroids". Which is it? Or are there two different games?

I wonder how things would be if we didn't have such "infinite" room in our landfills.
America, where stuff is so plentiful we have to throw away a lot of it before it ever gets used.
And many PC's don't have any of those things. These PC's are called "legacy free". Most all those things are replaced by USB.
