I too doubt that it actually exists. The oh so authorative website on the quality of pirated movies, www.vcdquality.com, has not reported anything about TTT.
10MB per month? I have a download meter and am able to monotor how much I download and upload while keeping great stats about it. Even on the lowest days when I dont explicitly download any files and just do simple web browsing and checking, checking my e-mail, ect... I go over 10MB with no effort. When I was on 56kbps a year ago I would not doubt that I went over 10MB per month.
The scientists who suggest this are just being impatient and have forgoten the basic fact that evolution takes a long time. It seems that what they set out to do was view visible changes that can be called evolution and then found none. In order to make their work seem justified they decided to come to the conclusion that evolution has stopped and they are no longer failures for not finding anything but heroes for discovering this "fact".
I am not entirely sure about this but I think it is Gary Kasperov who is currently believed to be the better player. Feel free to let me know if I am wrong.
Are you sure you meant "Deep Thought"? That is the supercomputer built in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Although that would be an interesting computer to play chess against, I believe the computer you meant to refer to was "Deep Blue", the computer which Kasperov played against.
Zero Space Tuner? BinaryAccelerator? BitPerfect? TunerAccelerator?
I quite agree with you. With all these fancy(bot not really impressive) names you think that they must have some working code already. 12 months for an interface to that code? Or maybe they just have something that currenctly only works in very select cases that they hope will eventually work on a more broad range. If not, they already will have gotten a significant investment by then.
How about after using pi the first time and obtaining a position where the sequence occurs in pi, use pie again to search for that new sequence. Eventually you may reach a sequence within pi that is shorter than the original data. Once completed store the new sequence along with the number of iterations of finding a number then taking the coresponding sequence within pi.
I think this could work although not garaunteed to compress everything and the fact that it can take a very long time to search through the digits of pi.
Who is it that decides on the winners of this contest?
Personaly I dont think either the winner or runner up were really worthy of winning by comparison to some other entries. The winner looks like they simply took one SPAM e-mail and ocasionaly replaced a noun with the word "penis". The runner up just repeated the same phrase over and over again with one irregularity near the middle. I think neither of these took much creativity and that the win could have gone to a more worthy poem.
MAX PAYNE.
I know it wasnt true "first person" but it was close enough. That crosshair was often invisible because it was so small. Just a single pixel on the screen.... Who's idea was that??
The letters are Elvish but the actual language is from Mordor. Meaning that you can read it if you can read elvish script but will not be able to understand it unless you understand the language it is writen in. An example of this would be any language using the standard 26 letter alphabet. You may be able to read and pronounce what something says but not understand it because it is in a different language.
Gigabit for uplink is generaly enough unless you are running a huge network. Each 'node' of computers will run at 100baseT and communicate with the server at that speed for a total of a gigabit from all the nodes combined.
I personaly think that the storm trooper helmet will reach a much higher price than the light saber. Simply because the helmet is from one of the originals that have essentially become classics. The light saber will be expensive but not as high because episode 1 was not as popular as the original 3.
MHz is not the problem. To have low bandwidth and high quality a decent precessor is required. My complaint would be that the optimizations arent being done for AMD processors as well. If they want to make a truly succesful product it will need to be optimized for both and as a result, vastly increase the number of people who can and will take advantage of it.
The reason they are commonly associated with the second edition rules is that the second edition rule set lasted so long. They still have claim over the third edition rule set as well.
At least you had the brains to post that as anonymous COWARD. They have just as much right to speak german as you do to speak english. Secondly, you are blaming something that started in Germany that is long over on the people who live there now. Just because someone speaks german does not mean they supported WW2. It doesnt even mean that they are german. Austria and Switzerland are two more german speaking contries yet the people there are not germans.
You dont think it's contrived? I hate to say this but it is a TV show written by people called writers who are contriving the whole thing. I know you are going to argue the point that it doesnt quite follow what was portrayed in the previous star trek shows. Guess what... They were contrived too. There is no harm done in being slightly original for this incarnation of star trek.
That would only be a darwain award if he did not actually make it to space. If he did make it I would not consider the way he killed himself stupid at all. He managed to get into space as somewhat of an amature. That is no small acomplishment.
I still tend to agree with you just becasue it is so funny yet also true.
Ok, so this hypotheical "David, Michael, Cathy and Andrea" site might get more hits than they wanted. If they were not intending to sell something then they probably dont actually care about the number of hits that they get. In all likeliness the site is a free site hosted by geocities or some other similar service. In this case it would be considerate of them to use DMCA as a nonword for the meta tag but they would have no responsibility to actually place it as one.
For the sites who are trying to gain buisness through the web, they usualy like the extra hits because it creates potential customers. Or at least someone who might happen to mention something they saw to another potential customer.
This sounds like a good plan but i dont think anyone would be willing to risk having their page show up lower in a search when someone was intending to find it. Plus anyone that finds the page in a search by accident is just a new potential customer.
You didn't really make to much sense there. You went from bit coming from the first two letters of binary and the last letter of digit and then you said that terd comes from the first three letters of ternary and the first letter of digit. Basicaly, your conclusion was not actually based on any known fact remaining true.

Why wasnt it ever released in IMAX then? And why is this the first time I have *ever* heard this mentioned.

From what I have read, this sounds quite amusing. Unfortunately it has been /.ed. Anyone have any links to a mirror of some sort?

You make a good point. I didnt really think about that. I suppose that would have to be based on specific cases.
