If you drop your watch in the grand canyon, do you think you'd ever find it?
Yeah, and pretty easily no less, because the alarm would go off.
Of course, the probe's not making ANY sound (supposedly), which is of course the entire problem...
That's why the IPod made it. Apple survived the slashdotting...
Tech marketing groups should really start considering the slashdot effect. I mean, a good quarter of our articles are basically ripped out of an electronics catalog anyways... a lot of people come here to see new techy-s***.
Further, thanks to Ogg Vorbis' open-source nature, there is a DRM'd version of Ogg Vorbis available. However I don't feel like doing the small amount of work required to fetch the link for that rediculous crap.
I'm captivated by your campaign. If you tell us what you intend to do to get Ogg Vorbis to all the poor youths in america, I just might vote for you in 2004...
Then fix it, easy:%s/Keith luggage pool of broadcasting corporations/Packard/
Core team of XFree86 separates on David H. Dawes, one the founder of the XFree86-Projekts for the development of a free x-server and present president of the company, which cares for the project, communicated in a Posting on the mailing list XFree86 Developer that the core team of the project will dissolve. Also on the Website from XFree86 meanwhile a short note with the announcement appeared. It is pleased that the majority core of the team its suggestion agreed, writes Dawes. This represents an acknowledgement of the fact that the core team does not represent no more the active, experienced and adept developers. Also it was no more place, at which technical discussions would have taken place. So far there are no further data, who is to resume the tasks, which the core team had actually taken over. In addition above all the supervision belonged over the general development of the project -- which probably the board OF Directors and/or the project responsible persons could carry out with XFree86, Inc.. David Dawes had supplied itself however already lately with some fellow combatants violent arguments, which led also to the door of individual project participants. Thus separated only in October Cygwin/XFree86 von XFree86.org. And Keith Packard, over several years member of the XFree86-Kerntruppe, criticized for example already for a long time the development as too slow-acting and too closed -- and in March from the core team was excluded. Luggage pool of broadcasting corporations opened a new branch of development with Freedesktop/X server and supports the project Xouvert, in order to make a faster integration possible of new techniques and advancement (jk/c't)
Don't hesitate to substitute an automated translators guess with your own intuition. You might not be right, but you're likely closer to accurate.
Even if the BS about humans being capable of interpriting a mere 40 FPS, unless graphics card manufacturers discovered a way to sync the frames timing with your nervous system ( I don't think they've done this yet, actually I don't think they will... at all ), then you NEED additional frames. We see an approximate 40 FPS (according to some sources). Which makes that a bare MINIMUM for acceptable frame rates on displays.
I suppose......personally I only played The Matrix on it once on my brother's to see how well it worked (pretty good). But I haven't even tested the functionality on my own PS2 since I acquired it.
However, I did appreciate the increased capacity (and thus a greater number of potential media including levels to play) that the DVD capability provided for my games.
PS2's specs killed the dreamcast because consoles are released on a much larger time table. New MP3 players come out all the time. They're far closer to commodity hardware than gaming consoles are, thus, someone's not going to wait more than a few months for this ipod to materialize before they go out and buy from a different manufacturer.
Just probably not in the manner that the gaming industry would expect, or at least, not in a manner suitable for such a dangerous economic venture.
I would LOVE to have home entertainment "modules." And essentially, we already have many things I would like. Home-built PVRs are very real and successful. Consumers are enjoying them, and I have my own plans to build one in the near future. What I would LOVE is a component, or set of components, that would allow me to play PS2 games on such a box though. It would be nice if there was a PCI card/SCSI device which I could put on my motherboard. Once installed it would be configured to use the on-board DVD-Rom. They might even want to provide a USB component which would allow PS2 controllers to be plugged in.
I guess my point is that I wouldn't spend $3000, $2000, or even $1000 on a home-theater uber-device with everything built in. But under the x86 modular upgrading capabilities the initial cost would suddenly become justified in my mind, as I wouldn't have to buy a new $1000 device every 3 years, but upgrade the ones I feel require upgrades.
...could I get your opinion on something else we heard when the attacks were first being reported?
I heard, that SCO's ISP was contacted for information regarding the attack, and that this contact was the first they had heard of any DoS happeneing to SCO that day.
Used to be, everyone used Netscape. Somehow they all managed to acquire the software for free online. Then IE happened. Everyone uninstalled Netscape for good reasons. Now Netscape is better once again... but... EVERYONE FORGOT HOW TO INSTALL NETSCAPE!
Seriously, no trolling, I mean it. I made the switch from Windows to Linux after seeing ME being a step back from 98 and XP being not much better. Now I know why I end up in an argument with every other web designer in the group!
I was already interested in free software and was using mozilla for browsing, at the time I preferred web-based e-mail to clients. And since I've always been abreast of pop-ups and suspicious attachments I just wasn't suffering the same fate everyone else was. (Honestly, when they told me what happened to them on 98 SE I swore to myself they were lying).
As long as you didn't mind dealing with software/hardware arguing with each other, 98 was a positive experience for someone in what I now know is a pretty unique position.
Slashdot Mirror
Is a pegan, anything like a vegan?
...or code-genie...
...or vim...
...or ANYTHING THAT SUPPORTS EREGEXes OR PREGEXes!
Seriously, their excuse is lame.
Not Safe For Work!
Well, I mean, unless you're on windows. Then I guess it's just redundant.

Yes to the first... ...and the second.

To me, classical means priceless, and beyond age.
Oy. They're not Anti-US. They're Anti-Mainstream-US-Society.
Foreigners love me, but then I don't exactly act like the rest of you.
Definately. I mean... put Samus in a fight with Lara Croft... seriously...
Yeah, I think we know who comes out on top. And it aint the busty bitch, it's the _armored_ bitch.
I'm captivated by your campaign. If you tell us what you intend to do to get Ogg Vorbis to all the poor youths in america, I just might vote for you in 2004...
But then they'd have to come up with so many more obscure Star Wars references...

Uhm... Vorbis is ready, I don't think the overall media project is...

No, I'm afraid that's just a monorail.
It's just made to look very futuristic. The cars resemble old mag-lev concept art.

What do you think?
Its biggest use?
Really fancy about pages.
You're not the problem though.

That explains it!

What an eye opener.
You mean this is the right-leaning slash? Woah! I have to check out backslashdot.org!
Hell, while we're at it, let's make Taco's dream come true: Let's buy LNUX!
Hell yeah, we'll slashdot VA Software! Noone thinks we can but we're slashdotters damn't!
