You're totally right Loco... my bad.
My brain must be fried from midterms and no sleep...
I was totally thinking of Super Mario World.
I should've realized I was wrong when I looked through the posts and no one else noticed it..
This guy has the worst job ever...
Boss: Hey Jones, put this superglue on your hand and touch stuff...
Guy: It works..
Boss: Hmm... works too well... we don't like it!
I'm talking massive spam... I know that posting an email to USENET is asking for it... but I haven't been able to find a website that provides an easy way to sign people that I don't like up for spam.
I'm usually left entering emails in those stupide CNET registration things and checking all the spams off the list.
When is RIAA gonna realise that aliens are broadcasting radio signals free of charge and start collecting royalty fees on all of the signals ever processed by SETI@Home?

It's really nice that they are providing poster size prints for download...
Most other places would give you a small thumbnail and ask you to pay for the full size version.
These one's are pretty cool: http://astroboy.gsfc.nasa.gov/earthasart/images/gr eenland_hires.jpg

After finishing the Macarena at the Diablo sing-along, one mother whispers that today is the sixth birthday of David Warneke, a camp volunteer's son. "We're not allowed to sing 'Happy Birthday,' " warns a codirector.
Huddling with the Elves, the directors come up with a plan: Sing a modified "Happy Birthday" to the tune of "Ninety-Nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall."
But Jansen is worried. "I hope that's not copyrighted, too," she frets.
They can't sing f***ing "Happy Birthday"!!!
WTF? at that rate I owe ASCAP like a million dollars..
mother f***ers... I'm so f***ing mad..
then again.. i have been studing for exams for 5 days straight...
it's still bloody outragious though..
Sorry, but I just have to represent Queen's University in Kingston. I know we're definitely up there with Waterloo and U of T as far as the quality of engineering goes. Waterloo grads tend to be technically better but Queen's grads are always said to have better "soft skills" (like communication and writing skills). This isn't just Queen's propaganda either, this comes from employers who hire grads from these schools. At Queen's the environment is also a lot less competitive than at Waterloo. I was accepted at both schools and chose Queen's on a whim and I am very happy I did. Friends that went to Waterloo don't have nearly as good of a time, while learning, as I do.
That is all... I'm starting to sound like one of those info pamphlets.
Massive flywheel storage isn't really suitible for mobile applications because to store lots of energy in the form of rotational energy requires that the flywheel be larger/heavier (I could go on and explain why but you can find that on your own if you really want). As a result, you have this really heavy (and not perfectly efficent) flywheel that your car has to lug around with it. As you know, the lighter the car the better. Therefore, large flywheels in cars don't make sense. They do make sense in stationary applications though, where size and mass aren't an issue.
BTW, cars with either manual OR automatic transmissions DO have flywheels, but they're relatively lightweight and they're main purpose is to transfer energy, not store it (although it can help to maintain speed on uphills, but you loose acceleration due to more mass you have to start rotating).
While we're on the topic of regenerative braking, here's a solution from Ford using HPA (Hydraulic Power Assist) to help trucks accelerate. Go here Or Here
Unique ID numbers aren't really anything to brag about... Every university in Canada that I'm aware of uses them including Queen's University (my school) University of Toronto and Waterloo University. Hell even my high school had them!
Secure logins aren't anything new, there everywhere.
I'm sure heat is one of the main factors prohibiting them from adding an AMD version.
Intel CPUs run much cooler than their AMD counterparts [I tried finding a link to Tom's Hardware (www.tomsharware.com) video where he takes the heat sinks off and the AMD chips fry) so I imagine it would be much tougher to implement a cooling solution in such a small case.
Now I can't speak for everybody, but my friends and I ONLY use Windows because we can get it for free. Games are harder to copy... We had WinXP Pro before it was even out. Even though MS has all of this new registration crap for XP, it's still as easy as ever to rip it off. I'm a Linux newbie, but I know I would have left Windows a long time ago if I had to pay for it.

they already have...
nice... thanks for the reply...
my only guess was that it was plankton or something.. but it didn't look right (too dense)

Having recently watched Minority Report, I can't help but imagine the DMCA Police arresting Bruce thirty seconds before he actually breaks the law...
Of course that's cuz nobody cares to deal with all of the bugs in Windows (and they tend to be bigger bugs too)
