  1. Re:I'll play devil's advocate on Apple History At folklore.org · · Score: 1

    No, the first people to build a PC clone copied the primitive hardware and put a copied ROM in it. Ohh, the golden days of 9x% IBM compatible computers

    A second to load? You must not use anything remotely complex. And "doing things for the user whether they ask to or not" is definitely Microsofts motto - No, I don't want to fucking select the whole word.

    One more thing: Most people use Windows apps in Maximized mode. Now the menu is on top of the screen - almost, there is still the window's title bar above.

    Urrm, yeah, that's why all OSs that need more than one mouse button still require you to use keyboard/mouse-click combinations.

  6. Re:Hmm... on Avalanches Simulated With 500,000 Ping-Pong Balls · · Score: 2, Insightful

    First of all, look at what this post quotes from the site. The problem with avalanches (for the simulator) is that they are made up of a) snow (fluffy ice crystals) and b) air. They don't act like simple fluids.

    AFAIK CDBaby artists have been in the iTunes Music Store for some months now.

  8. Re:The RIAA really doesn't make a lot money on Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets · · Score: 1

    No, the gaming industry has always been very much like the record industry. In the early days it was quite common that the game programmers (most games were done by only one person) hardly got a cent even from top selling games, even the stars of the trade. And today we have international megacorps (who are often also in the record and film business) that hire and fire developers however they please, and force them to write movie tie-ins and sequels.

    What a nasty thing to say about RIAA members, you wanted to say.

  12. Re:I guess the home market rules... on Intel to Increase Stages in Prescott · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the Intel compiler does everything it can to prevent or delay branches, but the old 20-stage P4 already taxes that ability close to its limits.

    Exactly. 7.5 was only slightly more stable than Windows 95.

    The German TV show for kids "Sendung mit der Maus" once filmed popcorn with a high-speed camera. Maybe you can find that on P2P (search for either "Sendung..." or "Sachgeschichten"). You could buy it on this tape, but that's Euro 15.90 and in PAL.

    His own private means? What the hell are you talking about? Check them by hand against every publication ever made? Can you give any evidence for your claim that this company steals IP rights?

    You are a typical modern-day American: paranoid, lazy, and you want everything for free - just not work. And if you can't get that, you sue. TANSTAAFL.

    BTW, how is your little story about Communism different from McCarthy-inspired Anti-Communism?

    Sure. They just deny it ever happened, and that it wasn't that bad after all, and that what XXX did was much worth, and that it was for their best, and look over there a dog with a pointy tail...

    No, they probably did so because they didn't have the right to do it themselves. BTW this is not only about the assignment being checked, but also about the assignment being put into the database for others to be checked against.

    One more thing: Let's assume that the Professor did cheat on one or more of his assignments. Even then he had to spend days searching for something to copy and then spend hours copying it, probably learning at least a bit of the subject in the process. The students today have to use Google for 3 minutes, and can go back to downloading porn from Kazaa again.
