I guess we then have to rise up, put the politicians to the sword, and burn their property, while taking adequate precausions to safeguard the conformerity with the idea that their life and property is sanctosant.
Civilization used half an hour for the AI-turns on the huge map, not to mention it was only released a year after the PC version. I bought a PC instead of upgrading my Amiga 500+ exactly because there wasn't an Amiga version for a long time. When it finally arrived I was happy that I had a machine with much more processing power. The 22 disk version of Monkey Island II was also a hint that Amiga wouldn't last.
Err no, it doesn't. The BIOS isn't some seperate autonomous entity running in the background on some special CPU reserved for it - its just a bunch of routines the OS can call if it wants. And no modern OS does - they all have their own 32/64 bit driv
Yes it does. Like GP, you would have been right 10 years ago, but this is not 10 years ago! Nowadays we have a thing called ACPI which is are interpreted instructions served by the BIOS to the OS on how to access system hardware. System drivers usually just includes detection of the hardware, names of the procedures to call, and BIOS bug-fixes.
Because good speakers are two wires and a magnet. They are not electronic devices, they are electric. To make the cut-off the amplifier would need to know how much the speaker can output, but since anywhere near the breaking point is dead obvious to a listener it is usually redundant.
I've talked with ALSA developers that said that per-sink mixing should be possible to implement with dmix (but that is apparently much more work than writing a complete sound daemon!).
It is possible. Technically it is just a matter of configuration. In a reality it is harder using ALSA because it is not standard behavior like with PA, so application support is minimal. Phonon has similar mixing though in the API, if I remember correctly kmix just isn't using it yet because kmix prefers to access ALSA directly.
The idea is great. PulseAudio is an excellent solution for networked audio and thin unix clients. Now the problem is the people and the distros installing it by default on a desktop where it is utterly useless. No matter how close to bug-free it is, it is an unneeded source of bugs in that case.
ah, yes, i heard about plasma. the general consensus is that whilst the developers creating widgets are extremely competent, and having a lot of fun and doing fantastic creative work, the actual core of plasma is... strained.
As a developer I can tell you the opposite. The core is quite good, but good plasmoids are still missing.
plus, also, remember: KDE is based on QT. QT is nowhere near as powerful as DOM / browser technology, requiring code to be written in c++ to workaround its limitations. bottom line: Browser engines such as Trident, Webkit and XULrunner absolutely piss all over "desktop" widget sets for flexibility, reach and maturity
Are you being sarcastic are you retarded? Qt and KDE for that matter includes webbrowsing technology, so by any logic they can do anything possible using webtechologies and more. Try checking out current Qt documentation.
I wonder if some even explicitly choose copyright infringement sources simply to get spy and malware disabled versions of certain applications.
I do, but they are not copyright infringement sources. If I already own a license, they are simply enhanced methods of distribution or a convinient malware-cleansing caching proxy.
He travelled around the world and spoke to muslim leaders telling them the US does not consider them their enemy. He travelled to his european allies and told them they were still valued allies? What has happened to your short term memory? Obama was also heavily critized for his trip by the right wing, so even if you only watch Fox News you couldn't have missed it. This happened in the first month of his presidency and what got him nominated and later the award.
I live in a country with socialized medicine. All my prescriptions state the purchase price, and none of them have any number other than that. I'm curious where you are that they give you a receipt that doesn't match what you pay. What's the drug? Perhaps someone else who gets it in the US could say what it costs there.
In Denmark receipts state the normal price. It also state the current state-coverage. This is needed because government coverage starts at 0% and moves up 85% depending on your medical expenses. Btw, the receipt also state how much of the remainder will be covered by your private insurance. Very informative, and quite scary when you are on an expensive drug.
Exactly, and you also need your own repository to host your own packages for custom apps, so that your custom apps will have the correct dependencies and upgrade smoothly in Debian. This completely invalidates the concern of auto-pruning. Not that I ever activate auto-pruning, it is not run automatically and requires the administrator to put it into cron himself if he wants it done.
Yes - charging shipping to pass along a variable, customer dependent charge is outrageous!
If it is many times higher than the customer dependent charge. Yes, then it is outrageous.
To tell if it is too high, compare the average fee for shipping a DVD to $1. If the fee is higher, then it too high, if it is lower, it is probably right.
On unix longs does have the size of a pointer (at least on 32 and 64bit systems). If I remember correctly though, a long is only 32bit on 64bit windows. This is the real problem. A very broken way microsoft tried to fix something very simple (oh my god, my long is too big?).

None of those have anything to do with the audioserver. Could be done anywhere else, and ASFAIK they are.

It it includes the linux kernel, they are probably also using the standard linux user-level API also known as GNU lib C.
Being in love with another PC is just so awkward, unless ofcourse it is played by a nice girl, but girl players are just so rare.
In that case the babysitter calls the cinema and ask them to fetch you. Old school tech rules!
I agree, I prefer my love-interests to be NPC's too.
The Wiii?

LEGO would be a good thing. If only the things they reconfigured made sense or had relevance.
So you are the one releasing giant tranquilizing bugs into the jungle?

Actually it is an extra $15. The $7 is for additional content. The DLC that you get by buying the game "the right way" costs $15 otherwise.

Because 100km is nice round number that lose its meaning when converted to outdated units.
The alternative is hiring competent middle managers that doesn't judge ideas based on presentation?
I know it is unlikely by we can all dream can't we?
