the leaked Doom 3 Alpha was optimized and intended for use only with the ati card at the E3 show. The final version will run much better on a nvidia card.
You seem to contradict yourself in that post. You say the government must ensure crimes against person and/or property are not committed. Stopping people who are going to crash planes into buildings by keeping them off the plane would do just that.
I see no reason why online shopping should be taxed any differently than catalog shopping. IIRC, taxes are charged on in-state sales only. States that wish to tax differently than this should also look into taxing catalog sales.
The real question is whether or not people would buy a CD that was restricted. Sure, no one wants it, but will people skip over buying CDs which are copyprotected?
These copies of Windows XP you see pirated are an edition released for large businesses so they would not have to do win xp verification for thousands of computers, not the result of hackers.
Many of these companies are probobally scared by computer piracy and think that releasing games onto consoles will make their games sell more. After all it is a bit harder to copy console games.
My school has a great compromise: It throttles all the ports for things like Kazaa, etc, to something like 5-10 kbps. Good enough for mp3s, keeps the bandwidth down for other uses.
Not only would you have shitty sounding music, but if you share any of your oggs people who download them get a bad impression of ogg. Think of the children!!!!!
Electric cars are not the wave of the future. Has anyone ever seen an electric car that could compare to a gasoline car in terms of range and acceleration? Imagine being in cold weather with the radio and the heat on. Anyway, all electric cars do is move the pollution from a mobile vehicle to a stationary powerplant.
Bad move? People will buy movies in a new format, selling more players and movies than if they had stuck with DVD. Seems like a good move for their interests
The reason they keep doing it despite the tiny response level is that you can spam thousands and thousands of people for very little money. If they spam 3,000 people and only 1/2% respond, they still come out on top because it costs basically nothing to send out the ads.
However, the plural of catus is cacti, and the plural of octopus is octopi. (Actually it can be cactuses or octopuses, either is correct according to www.dictionary.com)

Honestly, unless they all did this, no one would rent from the rental companies that ticketed speeders.

But those body parts containing the chips can also be stolen!!!

If you're rich, you can be eccentric. If you are poor, you're just crazy. :)

I'm still disappointed and waiting for my nuclear powered vacuum cleaner.

I am very interested to see how high-end processor sales are affected by the release of Doom III or Unreal 2.

I dont think most people download things that they haven't heard, unless you get word of mouth going on p2p chats. Still a good idea though.

You can get a check card that deducts money from your account. The limit would be the account balance, which could be billions for some.
Kind of interesting to wonder if this will ever become standard with disk sizes constantly increasing...
For the majority of users though, 9/10 of that functionality is not used or even realized.
Well.. One less reason I have to boot to Windows
Well, think about a 350 pound person running. They would be able to stop reasonably fast, so why not a segway?
The fact that they have to mention that the research is non weapons makes me skeptical to begin with..
