On my mac (this worked in 10.1, i'm sure it'll work in 10.2 also, i just haven't done it yet), if you take a screen capture of a DVD playing, the region it was playing in shows up orange. you can then set this orange image as your desktop wallpaper. when you then play a dvd and minimize the dvd player app to the dock, the dvd will still play on your wallpaper. dvd with no app! not that you couldn't 'break' this, but it is signifigantly harder.
Is it just me, or have others cut way down on reading since they got on the internet? Grandted, I'm sure I read more sitting at the computer, but it's all crap. (X10 Ads shouldn't count as 'reading');
In relation to the Normalization of Sexual Deviancy, I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of sex offenders don't visit 'deviant' pornographic websites on a daily basis. I think that the bulk of it is probably 31337 kids, spamming goatse links in their counterstrike matches.
The real perverts masturbate in their own feces, they don't have time for computers.
Nowadays, Mandrake Linux is in the "top 5" of Linux distributions with partners such as HP, IBM, AMD, and other big players.
With AMD supposedly supporting paradigm, how does "free software" fit into the equation? Will MS try to make AMD cut it's ties with Mandrake? Will they try to get some sort of DRM put into Mandrake? Any ideas?
if they want people to take any of this seriously, maybe they should break away from the buzzwords. E-Terrorism, give me a break. Cyber is just as bad. I'm not sure if anyone's with me on this, but when I see E anything, I dismiss the article as sensationalist journalism for the ignorant masses and ignore it. Troll me if you will, but this pathetic "it's cool to sound techy, e this and cyber that" trend has to stop.
my old manager worked for one of these. she would spend all day stocking the thing. it sold t-shirts, mugs, crap like that. each was in a plastic bag and had it's own little cubby. the inside of thte 'store' was just hundreds of these cubbies, with some walking room to stock in the middle. when the customer pushed the button for the item they wanted, a huge vaccuum arm would suck the item up and drop it in a chute. according to her, it apparently worked out great, with the exception of frequent jamming.
i wonder what apple is going to do. would it be a wise business move to pay the license until the next version of itunes, and release a patch that plays some other format,.ogg? then when itunes 4 comes out, end mp3 support? from a license standpoint, it would make sense to switch over to.ogg, but i wonder if they would just be shooting themselves in the foot, after all, the vast majority of digital music out there is in.mp3.
maybe i'm confused on the jedi 'faith.' but to be a jedi, don't you need to know how to use the force? maybe i'm confused here, but the force IS made up, right?
A book by John A. McPhee, written in 1979, called The Curve Of Binding Energy gives an excellent account of this project, including an inverview with one of it's cheif designers. It's a fabulous book, and it's short, so you could read it in a night (a long night, but hey:>) Check it out at borders.
dr pepper is the only pop i can drink on a daily basis. i don't understand why everyone raves about dew so much, all it seems to do give me is a nasty case of gut rot. also, when i'm worried about drinking to much pop, iced spring water with a lemon is awesome.
add code to tessilate the models so they don't look so blocky, and redraw/retouch the textures up to 32bit, 8bit textures on a 32bit display just doesn't cut it anymore.
assuming that time slows down (relative to the observer) more and more as you approach the speed of light, and assuming that sometime in the future, we'll have the technology to go, say, 80% of that speed; what is the maximum realistic ratio of 'your time to their time?' any physics gurus care to share?
the fact that there's a cg for linux and no rendermonkey means nothing. since when did linux have any sort of say in the gaming (what these cards are designed for) market.
what if the linux project DOES just ignore it. 10 years down the line, whenever SGI and whoever else decides to sue, linux (if it continues this insane growth) will be so huge, there won't be much they can do. just look at.jpg, that company recently saying they owned the rights, and.gif, compuserv (i think) has owned the rights to that forever, but they're EVERYWHERE, they can't sue everyone. keep in mind that i'm not lawyer, and i could be totally wrong, but you never know.

today: using the asian masses to pedal-power a hoard of 486's
tomorrow: matrix style baby-farms
romeo has one of those. not that he needs to use it, of course.
now i can use the 2megs that X _DIDN'T_ gobble up!
is it just me, or is the quality of digital cable terrible compaired to normal, coaxial service?
