I can't tell if you're being a troll, an evo bio fanboy, or are just mis-informed about anthropology. ever hear of Physical Anthropology? Louis Leake and his family? the Lucy fossil? I'm a cultural anthropologist, but not all anthropology is cultural.
What you saw was a projector not a hologram. I'd find the link but I'm too lazy. There's a major difference between projecting a keyboard onto a surface with a red laser, and projecting a 3d hologram.
yeah, my parents. got my dad a 21" monitor for fathers day so he could have a larger desktop, and he sets the resolution to 800x600. goddamn. I feel like the icons are going to fall over and squish me when I'm using the thing.
not to brag, but I went to one of the top ranked schools in the country. most people there were just cruising by, (myself included sadly) and most of the professors didn't care about their subjects. college has turned into grades 13-16 and it's depressing.
non-compete and right-to-work has nothing to do with this. I live in PA which is a right to work state. All that really means is that your current or former company can't prevent you from taking another job regardless of what you've signed, IF your other option would be not working.
This guy released code which was created using Nullsoft resources (brainpower, cpu power, company time) and released it under the name of the company. They have every right to rescind that release. The only real issue here is the GPL question, if it's released under GPL can it be pulled back?
He has a job he's choosing to leave, anything he signed in terms of a non-compete is very valid and in place, as he has a perfectly good job he's choosing to leave.
(ianal, but I have just gone through an ordeal with a non-compete and learned a lot.)
lol no, was just looking for alternate input devices. one handed keyboards mostly. most sites lump all such devices onto one page, so I'd seen it somewhere in there.
edit things? you mean change the color? woot! hold me back, I might melt my credit card! fuck off, or post with an account. I have no reason to believe that you're anything other than a there.com employee trying to hype your sad, sad product.
I was in on the beta test for There. (yeah, who wasn't.) The entire premise of the 'game' is that you pay the company a monthy fee to play, and then you put real money into the company's bank account in exchange for a certain amount of "ThereBucks" which you can use to buy crap in their fake world. The engine is crappy, the interface is worse, the premise is flawed and expensive, and the game is based around trying to look cool. You can't edit anything in the world, you can't create anything, you can just buy stuff. it's like a virtual mall.
Then again, maybe I'm just bitter because i heard it was going to be like the Metaverse in Snowcrash.
Ok slashies. 3DMark 2001 measures performance for directx 7 and 8 hardware platforms. 3DMark 2003 was built from the ground up to measure performance for directx9 platforms, it is not DESIGNED to be a broad range benchmark. it isn't meant to give good scores to your computer that does what you need it to.
It's a high end performance measurement tool, which UNLESS USED IN THE PROPER CONTEXT gives you useless measurements.
Sorry for the pissiness, but jeeze. for geeks who claim to love specialized tools and hate bloat, this is the perfect tool. it does one thing specifically and doesn't throw in the kitchen sink, or support for ancestral hardware.
They aren't microsoft, they're fully supporting 3DMark 2001 for the platforms that it was designed for.
Slashdot Mirror
this would be Bush's first veto.
but web apps are a freakin headache for support, BECAUSE of their ability to run on anything.
jack of all trades, master of none.
Can you tell I work at a helpdesk? heh.
also at mini-itx.com,

Data on this NEO's future return trips from the nasa site (http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/risk/2003qq47.html):
Date: 2078-03-22.19
Distance in earth radius from center of earth: 0.11
Chance that it won't hit: 0.000
I REALLY HOPE that there's some new measurements coming out soon...

;o)

Physical anthropologists do it in the dirt.

Instead of drawing attention to our differences we should be emphasizing what we have in common.
Yeah!
Cause since when has using direct comparisons for determining
the best method for a process worked for anyone?
yeah, my parents.
got my dad a 21" monitor for fathers day so he could have a larger desktop, and he sets the resolution to 800x600.
goddamn.

I like chernobyl. nothing like having your boot sector ripped apart, and it even wrote over some BIOSes iirc.
Very interesting considering Walmart just setup a similar program.
While it may be a BS patent, it's nice to see a large corporation get screwed by a patent for once.
only in a right-to-work state, and even then there's provisos, addendums... a few quid pro quos...

It's been around for a few years now.
I remember seeing them quite some time ago when I was looking for alternate input methods for wearable computing.
I know I'm not the only person out there building a new computer in a few months for the launch of doom3.
but you have to pay for anything better than 8kb/sec quality.
ouch.
yeah it's free, but it's free crap.
i just set my router to block any requests for doubleclick, microsoft, and any other craptacular domains out there.
^_^
does that mean no one should run a web server?
It sure means that MY hosting providers shouldn't be...

I'll hush now.
we should totally be open to listening to alternative points of view, but is an open source conference really the proper venue for it?
