Ehmm.. The MPEG-4 container format IS Quicktime, it has nothing to do the video encoding though. It is just the container format of choice, so it is not "like Quicktime", it is "Quicktime", and this has nothing to do with H.264, you could embed VP8 into Quicktime if you so desired.
Diplomacy seems kind of limited. I miss the old diplomacy screen that shows all the plusses and minuses enemies have toward you. I think there's something missing here. Overall, a very good game. It's nice to see that they didn't make another shit game like their latest Colonization attempt.
What I am hearing you and other say is: It is a good game, but it has room for expansion...;)
Sigh.. Just like civiv. The question is now to buy it at first or second expansion
Like when MSNBC did a 15 minute story about a "white gun-toting man" who is "probably racist" and "fearful of a black president"? They were later caught doctoring the video. (The gun man was Black and definitely not racist.) Is that the kind of manufacturing you're talking about?
Yes, exactly like that.
But It sounds like you are using a confirmation of what the GP is saying as an argument against him. Perhaps you should read it again, and try embrasing the message of rationality Stewart is trying to promote.
It does say that, but the videos have one person only moving his arms and walking, while the other is moving all parts of his body. It doesn't look like they have looked into anyone who actually follows any school of dance, and they are analysing the video differently than I do.
Economy of movement is still a good idea for a good dancer, and pulling off entertaining your dancepartner and looking good yourself, while moving very little is not easy. This is why many dance-school teachers men to keep their upperbody and head still and moving the rest of the body. This looks both like good dancing and gives off alpha male presence.
What they have established is who is considered a better dancer. I doubt anyone finds a blue figure "attractive" so they a judging who is the better dancer.
In real life the guy who moves the least is considered more attractive but a poor dancer. The reason is that the less you can get away with moving while dancing the more it will look like the girl is dancing "for you" and not "with you", demonstrating you have values worth fighting for even if you are a terrible dancer.
Or maybe he came to Sweden thinking swedish girls were easy and promiscious, like they are supposed to be according to american TV, and while living in Stockholm he was wondering why all the girls seemed so prudish and boring. If he thought everybody were having sex all the time, except him, and thought all he needed was to be me direct and not take no for answer - Well then, that would explain the rape charges.
Hint: Scandinavian girls are wild when they travel, at home and especially swedish girls at home and _especially_ swedish girls from stockholm at home in stockholm are very boring and very prudish. If you want to hook up with Swedish girls, go to Greece, stay clear of Sweden and especially Stockholm. Or if going to Scandinavia go to Finland or Denmark.
No, that's money, not cash. The problem is that "7.7 billions dollars in money" sounds stupid because it reveals quite obviously that "in money" is redundant. Because this sounds stupid the journalists replace "in money" with "in cash" meaning "in money", which is just as stupid, but also happens to be wrong. Since dollars default to being "in money", removing the words would make everything okay, but not sound nearly as cool, because "in cash" just sounds cool(*)
(*) I will gladly admit that 7.7 billion dollars in cash would be really cool, but also really really impractical and stupid.
Re:Wow, Intel jumps the shark

Intel Buys McAfee
·
· Score: 2, Informative
WTF are they thinking. Granted they're sitting on a pile of cash, but this is silly. If I were an INTC shareholder I would be pretty pissed off. If they were looking for something to do with the cash, they should have just paid out a nice dividend.
I would suggest putting it in a bank. What are they? Scrooge McDuck?
Ehmm.. it is just that 7.7 billion dollars in cash is highly unpractical. I mean how much space does it take up?? How heavy would it be? and how are they going to distribute it? Much more likely is that it is NOT cash, but just a mistake in the summary trying to convey that Intel is buying and not merging with McAfee.
The idea that doctors are routinely getting off their heads on "coke and hookers" at the drug company's expense has zero grounding in reality.
He said they were paid. That is completely unbelievable because it is illegal and can be traced. Your suggestion of coke and hookers on the other hand is much more believable, and since the parent poster didn't mention that idea, where did it come from?
I'm sorry, but having worked quite extensively for the NHS in the past, a family almost entirely consistening of medics (2 aunts, 2 uncles, my father, my sister) and plenty friends who are medics *and* drug reps
Ahh, I guess that explains it. And here I thought doctors were only bribed by thinly disguised reeducation-programs to expensive holiday resorts.
My adult test for ADHD is sex. As long as I have a 'task' which is her pleasure. I'm all into it. I'm concentrating on something. There is however, no such thing as relaxing. Because as soon as I'm told to 'relax' and it's my turn, ADHD kicks in. "Ooh MyTurn.This feels good, hrm I wonder what that car sound was, cars I wonder where I parked my car, oh yeah in the garage next to that BMW, I wonder if I could get a free test ride. shiat losing erection, she looks like it's her, think sexy thoughts think sexy thoughts. Hrm, last time I had sex, that was last weekend, last weekend oh that was before I went to work, work I wonder if that simulation was finished running, crap I have a meeting on Monday, Monday that's labor day, no work labor day, labor day, stupid unions, probably the only thing they've ever given us, union contract expiring at work".
That is a very interesting observation, though I am still inclined to just stick with my original hypothesis: That blow jobs just blow!
We are discussing ADHD. For ADHD it is a depressant. For people who don't suffer from ADHD it is a stimulant. When used against insomnia it is a stimulant, when abused illegally it is stimulant. If you suffer from ADHD it is NOT a stimulant.
Btw. You are getting on very deep water when talking about reuptake inhibitors, because Ritalin is also a reuptake inhibitor, it just inhibits a different hormone than SSRI.
Commercially available automatic gearing degrades performance with 25% (for an average driver, much more for a good one). There is no reason a professional drivers would volunteer to waste that much performance just so they can rest one foot while driving. The automatics have only reentered professional racing due to new more complex engine and gear types, that are harder for a human but easier for a computer to control.
Yeah. A news aggregator. We used to call that a web log, because it was log of news or stories on the web. Later web log became weblog and then just blog.
Slashdot is a blog, in fact it is one of the very first blogs, and for many years was in fact the biggest blog on the web.
You can still solve NP problems, just not in polynomial time. There ARE solutions to travelling salesman, just not fast ones...
As long as you use only two dimensions and a standard metric, the traveling salesman problem is often solvable in polynomial time; but that is not really the issue here: The general form of the TSP problem is NP, even if any practical application of the problem can be solved faster. Similar to how sorting numbers using bucket or radix-sort only takes linear time, even though the theoretical limit for sorting is O(n*log(n)).
The way I see it, the real world often has convenient constraints, that can be exploited to solve problems faster.
What the hell would "tax" a video card with GalCiv 2?
The same as in these very simple SC2 scenes. GC2 was using some very simple animated effects using the shaders. The animations was not frame-rate capped and shaders was apparently not protected against overheating in tight loops. The problem was fixed first by Stardock by introducing a frame-rate cap and much later by nvidia themselves in their drivers.

It later mentions using 128Mbyte just for level 1 cache, so that would be around 1024 cores.
Because it lacks the phone parts! It isn't an enlarged iPhone. It is a huge iTouch, it doesn't have the phone hard- or software.
No, not this one. This only counts as a rape in Norway.

and Kopete. In fact are there any linux chat clients that doesn't already support this?
I suspect the Californian roadway system gets a substantial taxpayer subsidy.
In fact I suspect all the American roadway system are not only subsidized, but 100% public... What kind of social communist crap is that?!
Buses going 100-200 mph??
I like the way you think! Though I still think trains are more cost efficient to accelerate and run at high speeds
Hint: you were almost right: buses have obsoleted trams, not trains
