EULA In Games
·
· Score: 1
Even more interesting...most games will run perfectly fine on a Win9x system without actually installing them (just copying over the directory from an already installed version on somebody elses computer)..so while technically the person who originally installed the game is bound by the EULA, what about the six generations down the road of RAR files popping up on warez sites?
Better yet, shine a red light in one eye but not the other for a minute then look at the same object one eye at a time. Is that object simultaneously 2 shades of the same color?
that's not subjectiveness, that's just fucking with the optical mechanisms that make you're eyeballs work...
that's streching the technical definition of mutant a bit. yes, you could use it to say what you are trying to say, but keep in mind that use of the term "mutant" has to be made in reference to a given population. so if you said that you're population is every living organism that ever existed, then yes, we're all mutants, but you haven't really acclompished much by that statement...
well, yes it is, because there is some genetic instruction there that triggers the suppression of the 6th digit. if a mutation disrupted that suppression signal, then you'd get your 6 digits. Determining whether something is mutant or not is a relative comparison to the population at large; if "normal" genetic code triggers the suppression of the 6th digit, then lack of that suppression would be considered mutant.
Keep in mind, that the article stated that in order to find these women, they looked for mothers who's -children- were colorblind, not their fathers. If it was just a case of inheritance, then they should be able to trace these types of traits both ways (descendents and ancestors). A mutation, however, would only go one way (or at least until you hit the generation with the original mutation)
according to the strict scientific definition, genetic mutation involves a physical change in DNA structure caused by some external (or possibly randomness) influence. For instance, if you have a bacteria with a genetic sequence of ATTG that gets exposed to UV radiation and is changed to ATTA, you've got a mutant. Just the fact that you have a physical manifestation of a genetic trait that neither of your parents do doesn't make you a mutant; that's just basic genetic dominance/recessiveness
I've seen the following on Cinemax (their "action" dedicated channel, on digital cable/satallit), Encore/Starz: Action, IFC, and the Sundance channel:
Vampire Hunter D
Ninja Scroll
Golgo 13: Queen Bee
Grave of the Fireflies
A Wind Named Amnesia
Blue Seed
Dominion: Tank Police
Ghost in the Shell
Granted, none of these (except the Cinemax) are available unless you have some type of digital TV feed (cable or satallite), but all of these were uncut and uncensored...
What about capcom's Resident Evil seris? The games are almost movielike... It would be interesting to see them in the big screen... altho it'd probably be a disappointment.:-)
Final Fantasy IV (in Japan) was released in the US on the SNES as Final Fantasy II. Final Fantasy VI (in Japan) was released as Final Fantasy III on the SNES in the US. To further the confusion, they recently rereleased FFV (which was never released in the US on SNES) and FF6 for Playstation, preserving their original numbering. It wasn't until FF7 for the PSX that they resynchronized the numbering.
BTW, FF1 was released for the NES but FF2 and FF3 (japanese numbering) were never released in the US at all (although this may soon change with Bandai's Wonderswan)
not as long as we continue to develope new techniques in medical science that save the life of those who would otherwise be killed off as part of the natural selection process
As I recall, one of the initial concerns (and I certainly think that this is a legitimate concern) that the Seti@Home folks had with releasing their source was that if/when these distributed computing projects started taking on the air of a competition (which they have), the availability of source code would make cheating that much more tempting. If you're depending on the return of data for serious scientific research, you don't want some script kiddie monkeying around with your results just so Team 31337 can pull into the lead...
Windows does have a tendency to install multiple devices on the same IRQ - that alone probably accounts for a good percentage of problems. (w2k is actually worse than 98 at this in my experience)
Windows 2000 (and WindowsME, for what its worth) will use ACPI (if your motherboard supports it). I don't know all the technical specifications of ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), but it does make things look like they're all sharing the same IRQ (on my box almost everything on my device manager is on IRQ 11).
you're right, but this is even more sinister than if they had violated the law in the broadcast of the mp3 streams. the fact that they were caught for making the original rips of the CDs to their servers as mp3s opens up the can of worms of the legality of -anybody- ripping CDs that they own to their hard drive as mp3s
HDTV is not the same thing as DTV. HDTV is the new specification(s) for things such as picture resolution, scan lines, etc. DTV is just a new way of sending any TV signal (either Standard Definition or High Definition) over the airwaves. DTV is what the FCC has mandated must be in place over the airwaves by 2006, which means that people will still be able to watch stuff on their old television sets, but they will no longer be able to receive a signal over the airwaves without a digital receiver/converter box.
So really, there are four possible combinations (excluding cable, satelite, etc): HDTV over analog airwaves, HDTV over digital airwaves, SDTV over analog airwaves, or SDTV over digital airwaves. The only thing that, according to FCC mandates, must be in place by 2006 is that last one; Standard Definition TV over digital airwaves.

Not to take sides here, but Sony is hardly "Microsoft's lapdogs"; especially with the PS2 vs. Xbox war looming on the horizon.

They are, and it will

No, they have not mandated HDTV by 2006; they have mandated DTV by 2006, which is standard NTCS definition TV transmitted digitally instead of analog.
I believe that the Value card also lacks the S/PDIF optical digital speaker output
Ummm...this is MPEG-4, the next generation video compression cocec, not MPEG-1:Audio Layer 3 (MP3)
