This is where I messed up and killed my iPod mini, I forgot to check and I pushed with all my might, ripping the ribbon cable off of the male connector. Oops.
That has got to be the most painful sounding innuendo ever.
Yes, but like the power ranger toys, they'd 'upgrade' all the hardware every three months so you'd need a completely different set of interlocking parts to keep up with the tv show.
Our lovely graphics card industry wouldn't dare do that to us!
Palms use SRAM though, not DRAM. SRAM is much less expensive and uses much less power, since it doesn't have to eat power every cycle to refresh itself. I don't remember the figures, but DRAM uses much more power than SRAM, by some ridiculous amount.
>However. In Matrix 2 and 3 everything smelled like CG. I was getting tired with the Neo CG character in all the battle shots.
I'm not sure about you, but I was getting more tired of the real Neo character in the normal shots. I'm pretty sure CG Neo showed more facial expression.
Interestingly, UltraHLE's source was leaked and made available on the internet, so that's not entirely true.
Note that there was a first source leak was a dissasembly, but the second one was clearly workable and real. A group is working on it too for pc, but not sure how it is, haven't tested it.. http://www.ultrahle2064.com
Someone has ported it to the XBOX, which means that they ported it to directX. I suppose you could backport it in reverse yet again, if you really wanted to run it, but there are other emulators around, such as the excellent Project64.
Uh huh. Since the ngage has no graphical chips, it has to handle video calculations in software. The GBA uses an extremely advanced 2d video processor. If it were as simple as emulating the CPU, we'd have seen GBA emulators that run on everything from toasters to smart watches. As it is, even PocketPCs cannot emulate the GBA at any respectable speed, and they are packing much more processing power than the ngage.
If a 400mhz ARM chip can't handle the job, you're right, a 104mhz chip will do just fine.
The NGage has a ARM based chip that's 104mhz. Emulation requires at least, at the very least, triple the processing power of the original platform. Add in the fact that a 700mhz computer barely runs GBA emulation in windows, I call bullshit on your GBA emulator. A GB emulator exists, and runs fine, yes, but there's no way in hell you'll get a GBA game running smoothly on Ngage.
Don't spread misinformation, the ngage has no chance of running GBA, escpecially not with the GBA's specialized graphics chips.
As for firmware hacking via software, that requires that you open the box and solder two pads to each other to enable writing to the bios.
It is not as simple as "enter once, run anytime". First of all, games running off the DVD do NOT boot from the hard drive at all. They have a fully self contained system in there. An xbox can boot and "play" without a hard drive properly formatted in it.
Next, running unsigned code requires that you run a signed program with a specific bug to get into 'unsigned mode' that expires when you reboot. Since you cannot sign your virus, your virus cannot run on reboot.
xbox live is also carefully controlled and sends out signed code. Sneaking in unsigned code is nearly impossible. Further, it's useless, as it won't run. The only boxes vulnerable to viruses would be mod chipped boxes.
Supposing that one uses the xbox font hack, the software only boot solution to implement a virus, it gets immediately detected on xbox live and banned as well. Live has mod detection. Even if the virus auto installed the font hack, etc, the only way to get it in is manually overflowing an existing program, which means, you know what you are doing. There's nearly NO way to get unintended code into these systems.
As for vulnerabilities for windows and directx, that is patently false, as all the overflows that we've used to get in, so to speak, were not in either of those. The xbox is a perfect example of the difficulty of getting a virus into a trusted computing system, one of the actual selling points of TCA.
Incorrect, and troll. You can save, open, render, do anything but export to retail maya. What they want to prevent is people doing massive amounts of work on learning maya, then suddenly go corporate and buying one license, and rendering on that.
MEL, the built in scripting engine, has the save access disabled as well.
Interestingly, a fun number to compare against is SETI@Home's array power, which is approximately 15 teraflops. [See the SETI@Home FAQ]
Although they don't run Linpack, and therefore can't be considered on Top500 the same way, it's still cool to know that SETI would still place second on the supercomputing list. Back in 2001, they were averaging a very large number of teraflops as well, (>10TF) the figure is on the internet somewhere. In 2001, that was greater than the top three supercomputing sites combined.
It would be interesting to see the power of the Seti array using today's processors.. which are arugably far faster than 2001's, despite the short amount of time.
Still, SETI outperforms this mac cluster, although it's obvious that SETI's distribution model is clearly not usable for the same problems that need to be solved.

Well, batteries are batteries. Rechargable lithiums are much more volatile than the Alkalines you speak about, so don't worry alot. The danger with lithiums is that they can explode at "low" temperatures.
Your alkalines maybe will leak, but no ba-boom, unless you set them on fire.
He's not joking, the damn thing crashes like crazy, ALOT. It isn't exactly stable, and did indeed crash frequently on non nVidia cards. ATI owners everywhere know about the instability in the toolset, inability to open the console without crashing, and the lack of vertex shaders working.
Perhaps you should read information, or check outside, before assuming that everyone elses experiences are the same as your own.

Actually, you can indeed do this with a lot of particle accelerators and nuclear fusion. You can also do it with lead.
Unfortunately, the end result is extremely expensive, and in case you intend to give it to your honey-honey, highly radioactive.
The alchemists will be jealous, but after handling it for a while, also very dead.

Ah, that explains the whole thing. The british must have used a bad keygen.
No, but I bet it would go faster if you gave it a Type-R sticker and an exhast the size of a cantalopue.
