I know that they specifically say that you should never go flying less than 12 hours before you take a plane ride (even a small cesna), I know that they specifically say that you should never go flying less than 12 hours before you take a plane ride (even a small cesna)
It would probably involve readinging the instruction manual that comes with the jacket, as skill similar to reading the article.
The jacket has a switch in the sleeve you have to hit to turn it on. The idea is to only turn it on when you feel threatened, not to leave it running 24/7.
No, because ATI did a much worse job of cheating. Nvidia got a 24% boost out of some of the benchmarks while the best ATI could do was a measly 8%. This clearly shows that ATI must cheat harder if they want to keep up with Nvidia.
I see you didn't read the article. Nvidia is actually detecting 3dmark and substituting in more efficent renderers and dropping the back buffer clearing at certain points to get higher FPS scores.
Something else that may shock you: it appears that ATI is doing the same thing, although to a much lesser extent.
"Financial Damage" is a tough thing to define though. Some companies will claim millions of dollars lost to recover systems that have been hacked. How much actual financial damage did Kevin Mitnick cause?

BitTorrent Guide

· Score: 1
Maybe because Bittorrent scales well? Whenever I fire up my Gnutella client, not only can I never find what I'm looking for (whereas Animesuki is a godsend), but my connection gets flooded with search requests and whatnot. Also, about 50% of the time when I try to actually download something on Gnutella, it turns out to not actually be there. The Unix clients sucked hard for a long long time too (how long did it take to get something with a gui and upload support?). Quite frankly Gnutella seemed like a dead end to me. Far too many leeches and not enough content. Bittorrent's automatic sharing of the files you're downloading and good anti-leech protection means you always get good transfer speeds on those big popular files.
Isn't it called the Internet 2? This is pretty much exactly what you're calling for, a high bandwidth network that is nice and elitist so you can feel superior when you're using it. Plus they don't allow the kind of advertising you see on the original Internet.
Wouldn't it be easier to rename the benchmark and rerun it? If they get the same symptoms, then I'd be inclined to say it's a real bug in either the drivers, card, or benchmark itself. If the effect doesn't happen (and you get lower framerate), then I'd definatly call it a hack. Unless they're being really clever, it is unlikely that NVidia is doing any particular search in the binary itself, since these guys were running a nonstandard version of the benchmark.
Dunno about ATI. They seem to hold onto the OEM marketshare pretty tightly. I can't count how many crappy ATI cards we have in these Dells at work. The Radeon may be a nice card, but I sure hope it doesn't have the driver issues our Mach64 and Rage128 machines have.
Fun fact: Did you know that if you set the resolution and bit depth too high on the old Mach64 chips, you can actually run the card out of internal bandwidth for blitting? The result is black horizontal lines flickering on the screen when you scroll or move windows around. It's an interesting effect to say the least.
On the other hand, with every new video card or CPU review on slashdot, we hear a chorus of "why bother? Nobody can even use the power of a $400 system!" so that harmonizes nicely with "Doom3 is unrealistic! It requires too much computer!" The only time things are REALLY wrong is when there aren't people moaning on both sides of the issue.
This overly-long paragraph could be reduced to: Slashdot posters like to complain.
About 20 years is the best you can do in CS right now, in which case robots are an excellent thing to be working on. Welcome to reality...
Wow, 20 years seems like a long time for a CS project. It would be like someone starting a CS project in 1983 (a year before the introduction of the first Macintosh!) that had payoffs today. The computer world has changed a lot in the intervening years. On the other hand, imagine what you could do with computers 10000 (give or take) times faster than today's machines (assuming Moore's law remains in effect).
Just what the DVD medium needs, more freaking standards. Heck, last time I went into my local WorstBuy to pick up a pack of DVD-RW media (only wanted a couple) all they had was rows and rows of DVW+R discs and tons of empty shelf space for the DVD-R stuff. Does this mean we're going to have to start choosing between multiple Blue standards as well? Is anybody else tired of having multiple (completely identical feature wise) discs to choose from? Is this not lunacy?
That didn't save the site where you had to own the CD to get the songs, why do you think it will work for Apple?

TiVo Basic

· Score: 4, Funny
I always thought Tivo should make a 30 second TV spot with a very annoying background noise and jarring images, then in the last few seconds say: If you had Tivo you could have fast forwarded this.
You may have heard of this nifty new technology called "compression" that allows you to get more effective data transfer out of a link. 10:1 compression on video is pretty trivial these days, which means you'd only need 175Mbps for that resolution (although you'd probably drop it down to 24 bit color).
I wouldn't be surprised if the house had lousy wiring. It was about 30 years old and cheaply built at the time. It was also primarily a college residence, so the tenants had not done a very good job of keeping the place in shape.
Zone alarm may provide good protection, but it's far from a great product.
There's no way to prevent it from spitting up gobs of annoying dialog boxes. This is especially annoying when you're playing some 3D game and zone alarm tries to put up a box on the screen asking you to allow it to go online.
It is a pig. It takes 5 minutes or more to boot on my laptop, and is by far the last component ready when I boot up my machine
The interface needs work. It's hard for me to find just about everything in it, from the access logs, to the application table, to the network table, etc...
It is not good about remembering your settings unless you shut it down normally. If the only time you leave windows is when you crash, be prepared to tell Zone Alarm that Mozilla is allowed to access the internet all over again. I've actually gone and run every network application I could think of, then rebooted just so I wouldn't have to tell Zone Alarm about it again.
Those are just the annoyances I could think of off the top of my head. I probably wouldn't run it (I'm behind a BSD firewall at home anyway) except that the IT department insists on it (it's my work machine).
Why yes, I think you've hit on something here. YOu'd better patent it. Call it: Method for using a multistage rocket motor to achieve orbit. I'll be nobody has ever thought of that before.

Strangely though, many of the companies on the RIAA and MPAA are Japanese companies.
What about when you add the download statistics for Trillian and the like for ICQ?
Of course then you'll get back to 100 new emails, 10 voice messages, and several "action items" that'll keep you busy for quite some time.

I have never seen that work as advertised, and some people claim that it can even destabilize your system.
