The post you are replying to says nothing about the *screen size* as 1024x1024. He says the textures are often 1024x1024. Textures are generally created as one large file with a large sheet of related textures. The file is often 1024x1024. Why? You have to texture in 3D. This means even the texture's parts not visible still are loaded. So if your screen is 1024x1024, it takes up 1MB of VRAM to render in 2d, and a lot more RAM and VRAM for 3D because you have to texture more than one face at once.
Two points:
(1). Ever seen an LCD tv? The LCD viewing angle is a thing of the past.
(2). Ever seen a front lit screen? They work in the sun and the dark. People whine about uneven lighting but I don't think its bad. And they have 180 degree viewing without additional technology like a TFT/backlit LCD.
OK...But a lot of the point of the parent was that if the dance act(which was very sexual) was shown and the nipple was not no one would have complained. I find the context more offensive than the actual nipple. People have bodies, you know. I just find it offensive when they behave in a very sexual manner on live broadcast TV that is popular amongst children.

Apple has this same problem. They tried to convince schools to use Macs years ago so that kids would want one. The problem is many Macs at any given school are too old for OS X, so the schools keep OS 9 on all the systems. Clearly, OS X is better than OS 9(memory management, anyone?) but many kids(who apple tried to target 5-6 years ago) now think Macs suck because the ones they are exposed to DO suck.
Of course, microsoft has the same feature when you have Transcriber installed on a pocket PC. Scrawl notes, press convert, notes turn to text. Go figure. I wonder what other "innovations" they are going to patent?
The Air Hockey table worked better for the purpose of this research. A swimming pool simulated weightlesness (the most unfamiliar factor to humans in space). The Air Hockey table simulates frictionlessness(the big factor in moving things in space). Thus the air hockey table is better for robotic manueverabilty, the swimming pool the best for human purposes.
I'm sorry, but shooting at TNT has as much risk as shooting at a tin can. TNT does not detonate from shock or flame. It must be detonated by an electrical impulse. This is why blasting areas prohibit talking on a cell phone etc. Most dynamite these days is TNT and will explode from electrical implulse, not shock etc.
Yes, however, it would be very effective to write a worm that infects a certain number of systems successfully than formats. Or worse, it could delete all data on all network drives and the user's home folder. This way the virus writer get all the data off but still have the system to infect others. I am also borrowing from virii. They have a dormant period where they infect others, then they take action on the host.
Hmm... so why have no recent worms done anything other than reboot systems? Any backdoor installed was NEVER USED. All they have done is caused damage by downtime, not data loss etc.
If worms were written by gangs, they would DO SOMTHING WITH IT. Which they haven't. Thus the 17-year-old explanation.
Yes, but there is an easy solution: have signs where RFID tags are read. This way stores will have their tags, and privacy zealots will have their way. Prehaps the tags could be encrypted in stores, wharehouse, etc. so that you need to be the originating company to read the tag(eg. cookies read by originating domain only).
So-I don't really care if someone knows that I'm wearing shoes from Bob's Shoes. I also don't care if people know where I have been recently. If they REALLY care, they could follow me anyway. My experience is only people with something to hide care if people know what they do in PUBLIC. I would be angry if someone monitored me at home, but when I am in PUBLIC, I assume that my actions are monitored(and I don't care).
Or you could just use the C# compiler from the.NET framework 1.1. The command is %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\csc.exe . You specify the output file name with/OUT:
EVERY sound card I have ever used with linux(Old ISA SoundBlaster, EMU10K1 SB Live!, ESS Maestro) has worked "out of the box." It's video cards I don't like. The only distro I have found that supports my video card(Radeon 9800) with 3D easily is Gentoo. I know this is ATI's fault for not allowing the drivers to be shipped, but why can't other distros make it is easy as Gentoo("emerge ati-drivers")?
Yes, there are more germs on a door or fridge handle, but how dangerous are these germs? Most of the ones on a fridge are pretty harmless(which is why you're not dead). Digestive enzymes, bacteria from your digestive system(e. coli, anyone?), etc. have a much higher chance of harming you than most of the bacteria on door handles. I would rather have 11,000 harmless germs per square inch than 50 smallpox per sdquare inch.

Last time I checked 2.54 == 2.540000 So why the Actually? It helps to read the subject of yor own post before you press submit :-)

Yeah, so does every other app on the planet that handles text. One click->move cursor, two->select word, three->select paragraph.
time.nist.gov and time-b.nist.gov have no such reequest and give accurate time(Atomic Clock).

Hello? If you bothered to look there is a version of Windous Media Player 9 for Mac OS X(a bit of a misnomer). It just doesn't play DRMed files.

If you had bothered to read the article, and not just look at the pretty pictures, you would know that it will be backwards compatable.
