today the problem is not the processing power but the lame interrupt architecture enforced by current BIOSes. so activity can cause popping like you get in lots of integrated sound and video cards.
newer chipsets can't solve it either.
That is the main thing I am hoping for when the new BIOSes finally hit. Screw DRM.
It takes a continual stand by endorsing and using OpenGL in their games. If it was not for id, all games would be Done in Microsoft's Direct3D by now.
I think 1 stand is enough for 1 company. Someone else is going to have to make the sound stand. And yes, that means it aint gonna happen.
Its so obviously idiotic. Video cards are booming because they do NOT encumber software in this way. Each time they tried, they got furious backlash, and their products failed. Glide, and NVIDIA had some proprietary junk IIRC.
Creative is just dumb. And i have to lol that this is a video patent not an audio one...
You wont make much money in the stock market if you keep expecting the investors to behave logically.
The price does matter. That is why you see things on store shelves $9.99 as opposed to 10.00, which is really a small difference.
You just have to ask what does google think it will gain with such a large opening price? They could have gone for a smaller price simply by floating more shares.
Think of Canada as another state. Except that while they tax you in Canada, they actually seem to do something with the tax dollars besides 'defence' spending.
I can say for certain that many do use keys. The keys are for accessing certain operations such as downloading new code into the module, or accessing things like odometer resetting, etc. But for general diagnostics, you do not need the key.
in the US they never needed keys because each OEM used totally different communication systems and nobody could communicate with it let alone comprehend what it was saying. But since the somewhat standardization that is taking place on the comm protocols, more encryption and keys are being introduced.
This shows that AMD is becoming more solid of a company, and are not pushing the envelop as much. In stead opting to make a little cash. Which in turn allows intel to resort to their old ways.
I agree with all you say except, a consistent foot on the gas is not necessarily a good thing.
Pressing the gas pedal increases the usage of gas, whether or not that increase results in an acceleration. The simply key is to optimize the result of pressing the gas pedal, and how agressively you try to maintain your speed.
Give your car more gas when it can use it, and less when it can not. This is the same thing the transmission is trying to accomplish.
i.e. going faster and slower if you are on hills will be more efficient than maintaining a consistent speed.
No its pretty unreasonable. The reason people first bought Atari systems was because they didn't have to put in a quarter for each play. Then people realized that computers could play the same games, but also get lots of other important things done.
So why should anyone expect a person owning a PC to pay for each play of a video game. We optimized that out long ago.
And I have not found too many places where you can actually buy music online. most allow you to rent it in their custom formats. Just a fancy DIVX without a timeout.
Yea, Amazon's position is rediculously lame. Toys R Us didn't pick good toys? Yea, they been around so very long and they can't pick good toys to Amazon's standards.
Plus so often those immigrant 'nurses' would be considered doctors in their native land:P
Nevertheless I understand the fundamental complaint that doctors couldn't give a 8hit less. You really have to manage your own health care because _most_ doctors suck. The're basically like teachers. When you find a good one, hold on for dear life.
From experience, one can not have two different dialects of the same language and maintain seperation. When one is pushed to speak from his heart, he will drift into the dialect he is most comfortable and familiar with. It may not play well with speakers of the other dialect.
According to a source close to the project, internal Microsoft figures suggest that only 10 per cent of PlayStation 2 purchasers were interested in the console's ability to play titles developed for the original PlayStation.
I bet they asked people who already owned the system. Of course there not interested because its there...Lets see how they react when you offer to take it away.
I think this is one of those surveys whose wording can sway the target audience.
and change it at a moment's notice (unlike personal domains). Say what? I can have 1000s of email addresses if it like at my personal domain. And I can change the email addresses as often as I see fit. Plus One is available for my mother, sister, and everyone else I know and care to offer an email address.
Besides, your gonna need to change addresses at least every 2 years, maybe sooner.

Its not quite urban legend considering they have a cable channel dedicated to old game shows and they show it at least once a week.
No, it was not so rehearsed as "That'd be the butt, Bob."
It was a simply "The but?" It was obvious that she couldn't think of a better answer.
I think your post deserves to be modded up cause its the first thing I thought of when I saw the slashdot topic.

The more common occurance is the company that promises not to enforce their patent, sells their patent. Or goes out of business.
The new company never made such a promise, and further, they bought the patent with the expectation to enforce it for profit.
We dont expect MS to go out of business, but they could loose interest and sell the patent at any time.
What if the cost of living was close to 40% less?

I agree with the court. Enforce the law to the fullest. That is the only way people will see it for what it is.
I totally agree.
If I steal something that is worth $5 or if you monopolize me into paying $5 more for something than it is worth, there is no difference.
And as to ARM, i though that was a type of processor, lol. Yea they are huge.

well java2 was actually version 1.2, so why not java5 from version 1.5?

Wasn't this always expected. When you put all your eggs in 1 basket, its much easier to carry, but also much easier to steal.
M$ now has only a single set of people to influence in order to rule the whole European continent. And of course this does not just apply to M$...

amazon's about to get waxed.

Yes its totally beautiful.
Now lets see the do not mail list...
Fat chance the put the axe on something that is bringing the USPTO $$$
The problem should be obvious.
Right now spamming hurts ISPs so they are our biggest allies in the fight against it.
This proposal would make spam profitable to ISPs.
They would become our biggest enemies.
becoming partners rather than tools
We don't even consider our current spouses this way let alone a robot...
Tool!

I was wondering why they specifically said "skin." I think we have our answer...
If Google releases the code they almost guarantee 1000s of new search engines popping up. Which guarantees none of them will ever be noticed.
Sounds like a smart decision. A lot cheaper than trying to sue competition into oblivion. Someone inside of Google is actually thinking.

I think the bigger question is; Exactly what data is myuid storing!? normally one does not have data associated with his user ID.
Unless they are hoping to track the sites you logon to. Which typically only results in 'targeted' marketing...
