Well, if you could somehow make your mass negative, wouldn't you be able to go faster than light? I'm honestly curious. I'm not a physicist, but would it ever be possible to have negative mass, even theoretically?
Detroit is similar in many ways to Beirut... gunfire, explosions, and slums. So I guess yeah, it is kinda like a foreign country. Can we give Detroit to Canada?
Maybe not for consumers yet, but it is on their small business store. HP has a model listed too, but it only has Intel Graphics Accelerator chip using shared RAM, so probably won't be good for Vista. Dells at least has an NVidia offering that is decent, a 256MB GeForce Go 7800.
Well, without being able to share an html or other file, how the heck would the web work? Why do I picture the people at the RIAA as similar to the two guys in the Guinness commercial coming up with stupid ideas and yelling, "BRILLIANT!!" Morons.
I don't think it is a matter of Diebold using this excuse because they really think it is theirs to own, I'd bet it has more to do with the head of Diebold promising to deliver Ohio to Bush before the last presedential election. If someone could go into the files and see that they don't match the reported outcome, that whole company would have more problems than people asking to see the files. I bet the GOP supports their decision to withhold the files for this very reason as well. If it turns out that Bush really didn't win Ohio, imagine the fallout...
Just FYI, But the PS2 has USB ports right under the controller ports that accept various USB devices, including keyboards and mice. Not all games support them, but ones that do (Red Faction comes to mind) are very nice and much the same (usually) as playing on a PC.
"power" is for powerpc, the chip that ran them. The i series don't have "power" in the name so don't need a rename. I bet the G5 replacement will just be "Mac Pro". That makes things easy, huh? iBook/MacBook Pro iMac/Mac Pro.
It was Konfabulator 3 months ago, then it was Yahoo! Widgets, and now it is Yahoo! Dashboard? Are they trying to confuse people? I wonder if they'll have problems with Apple for using "Dahsboard".
If Final Fantasy XI is as good as X was, i'd save your money if I were you. I personally think the franchise has been going downhill in terms of fun since FFVII. That game was great. Since then, you haven't had much control over the progression of the game, it has been all about going from A to B to C, with no exploration in between. Very linear, which IMHO is not what a good RPG should be. At that point it just becomes a scripted sequence of battles.
What Dubya has confessed to doing is clearly a violation of the laws that he swore to defend.
That's all well and good, but you can swear to defend anything, it doesn't mean you have to. What if he doesn't? With this right-wing government we have in place, who is going to do anything? The Shrub administration would just pull some strings and make up some story about you to make the public think you're not credible. It doesn't have to be true, the public will believe just about anything. If you want to know what W really thinks about the constitution he swore to uphold, take a gander at this report:
"I don't give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."
"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."
"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"
Personally, I think the only thing that would make the situation better since we can't rely on the other branches to impeach this fucknut, is someone running a high-velocity slug through his head. Actually, better make it his heart, I'm not convinced there is anything in his head.
According to the breaking news banner on CNN, it has been bumped down to a 1 month extension, not 6. I'm guessing it is just so they can renew the debate once recess is over.
Hardware RAID, 2 CD-ROM drive bays, TV Tuner (optional), subwoofer, DVI, remote control, the works. And all in a compact 12.5 pound package! Ok, it is big but won't blind your eyes like the one above.
Holy crap, batman, any of these SLI/Crossfire modes will need quite a robust power supply. Even at idle in those configurations they'll pull about 150W, but when in max use can draw over 400W of power! I guess playing high-end games these days also comes with a big hit to your electric bill. Cripes! People might need to get a second job just to play games.
I am actually curious if anyone has any of these infected CDs if there is anything on the CD case or the liner notes that make any mention of the possibility that software will be installed on a computer if used on a PC, or if they even have the compact disc logo anywhere on it. Can anyone confirm?
P.S., I would NOT advise putting it in your computer to see if there is anything on the CD, unless of course you happen to be running some other OS besides Windows or Mac (as I think some sort of kernel mod can be installed by some of these CDs, though it it more difficult to get it installed than on windows).
I wonder how this will play out if a minor buys one of the broken CDs, puts it in their parents computer and it gets taken over. As (at least in the US) minors cannot agree to contracts, I'm thinking the EULA cannot legally be agreed to by them. Since their EULA installs the rootkit on yes or no answers, this turns out to be illegal on so many levels. So much for buying Sony ever again, they make decent TVs, it is a shame that one of their divisions has to make such a bad image for the whole company.
Ok, so a right click, click, then double-click:) Still easier than having to reformat and reinstall windows because my computer has become a zombie. If this were IE, being tied into the OS as it is, a crash of your browser is far more likely to have other effects on other running processes.
If this only crashes Firefox, how is it an "exploit"? I tend to use "exploit" as something that an attacker can use to their advantage to do something malicious. This is just an annoyance to have to move my poor cursor back to the icon and issue an oh-so-painful double-click.
If microsoft needed help with brand recognition, I could see how it would help them. However, just about everyone has heard of microsoft these days, so it can only hurt their image, not help. Small companies benefit from bad press more than large established ones.
Would this be useful to reduce the computations needed for the SETI@Home folks too? Seems they have a bit of data to sort through... Hell, genetic enginering too. Look for useful patterns in hundreds of DNA strands.
Why does the front page of slashdot seem to be just a rehash of yesterday's articles linked off of fark? It used to be the other way around, but I guess the times they are a-changin'. At least the comment threads are a bit more civilized here, the only boobs are linked in the politics (and SCO) sections.

Is their website running on an iPod? If so, i'd take it off the list now :)

How about some SATA benchmarks? PATA is good, but I suspect things will be much improved with SATA and NCQ. Does anyone have any links?
Dude, that is the very reason they have the "Post Anonymously" checkbox... TMI.

That still leaves 40% as standard broadcast. When I look at my cable listing, the networks aren't 40% of the channels. I'd say they're doing ok.
