Yeah. You are missing that our super-great brain isnt even able to calculate more than 1 or 2 additions per second. Meaning: the parallism thats at work in our brain is absolutely useless for thinks we want to do with a computer.
But otoh, Flash can be denser than you think: there are prototypes that stack up to 8 dies in a single BGA chip, with a cross-connect at the edge. also, side-connected chips are typically multi-stacked.
All this is possible because of the low power density of flash.
Yeah, i read that article back in december (or so. Dont remember the time of that first press release round). And seeing its THE _single_ advertising article you have, it really doesnt deliver. Sorry. Or maybe i am just spoiled by wikipedia.

And for you, breathing is the constant reminder that you are an idiot. I dont really want to flame here, so i just hope you die of leukemia or something (as you annoy me, and have before).
Sorry, wrong. And quoting The Register is the most direct way to show that its bullshit. And no, i wont exlpain it to you, just read it up. There are several examinations that have taken place, including a very good one by c't a while ago while wiki was still less mature.
A well, it kinda made sense with usb 1.1, where they had "low speed" and "full speed", irc 1.5 or so and 12 mbit/s. Well, witht he introduction of usb2.0, "full" wasnt available anymore, so they decieded on "hi" as the name.
Much of this "remaining fun" is also nostalgia. There are many games from the early 90s that i still love, but cannot get other people to get into it.
It has no impact in the way modern highest-end games will or wont be seen as "classics that stayed fun even though they have outdated graphics" in 8 years.
Those pictures are very real, just the description is wrong: its in germany, not japan And its no garage, its a car "storage tower" near a vw plant, where people can "dial" their car, and it gets fetched to them.
Because those games didnt have graphics as their big selling point at the time of their release? Yeah, retrospective reality distortion hey...
Commander Keen: pixel-wise fluid scrolling unseen before on EGA IBM-PCs Doom: No need to mention. People were blown away by the full-screen (pseudo) 3D graphics. I knew someone who bought a Pentium60 more or less just to play the game for its graphics. C&C: new frontiers for FMV cutscenes and the best use of the 320x200*8bit vga resolution seen in any strategy-game at that point of time Baldurs Gate: 5 CDs full of high-resolution scenery graphics back when games didnt even manage to fill one, usually Morrowind: hyped years ahead for its graphics, the use of shaders, the big visibility range, the water reflections, ect, blabla
just starcraft looked like crap when released.
So your point doesnt exist: just because you picked the games from 1.5 decades that YOU likes, and those of course are outdated now, doesnt give any correlation. Especially since you have games in your list that demanded highest-end computers for their graphics at the release-time (doom and morrowind).
Yeah. They can just keep using the ones for the gamecube. Its the same hardware, after all.
(seriously not joking, the differences are so small it wouldnt even be worth calling it a major refresh. I guess thats the real reason they canned the "revolution" codename.)
Maybe because Apple programmers SUCK at doing stuff for windows? Or is there any other reasons why quicktime has been digital AIDS for a decade, and now is joined in its suckitude by itunes (which gets installed as malware whenever you need to install quicktime for mov files, including autostarts and background services). Allthewhile every freeware mediaplayer manages to produce better results than the poster-child of a multi-billion $ company.
Seriouly. I player flow when it was released, and its "soundtrack" are some sphereic, non-obstrusive background noises. The second game is not yet released.
There are tons of composers that have real impact and insight into this matter, so what sets this newbee apart? was he the only one available (as he had free "generate publicity for upcoming release" slots in his organiser)?
Sorry, no. The only peolpe i have ever seen to bitch about "ageism" are 15 year old assholes that really live up to all those stereotypes. Hint: after puperty you will be smarter, so shut up now.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah.

People do that already.
Yahoo for asia, and there is a cluster in the netherlands that servers much of europe.
Its just logistically MUCH harder to make it work than cas.
You "regularly" listen to about 2000 songs?
I guess its all a relative thing, or are you listening 24/7?
You mean 80 chips. Those are Gbit.

ACtually no. The inscrease in demand will slow down the price-drop.
The last Audiophile forum i read in FORBATE double-blind tests as "unscientific and biased" in their forum rules.
And inside, tons of stories how that new golden SPDIF cable and the newer power-plugs improved sound.
Yeah, i read that article back in december (or so. Dont remember the time of that first press release round).

The mere fact that you guys have a "executive board" before you have any content really talls a lot, especially in a slashvertisement like this.

Wow. Thanks for the link. I knew there was an IRC channel for all those edits at some point, but never found it.
Its really cool to see 5-10 edits per seconds happening in realtime.
A well, it kinda made sense with usb 1.1, where they had "low speed" and "full speed", irc 1.5 or so and 12 mbit/s.
Well, witht he introduction of usb2.0, "full" wasnt available anymore, so they decieded on "hi" as the name.
Read closer.
There is also a minimum number of devices. If you stay below that (its like 50k), royalities are free.
You are not alone.
I was even let down by NWN2.
Somehow, those AD&D conversions just really give the same nice feeling the old might&magic (before6) and wizardry games had.

Thats exactly the argument that made the decision of the court.
E-Ink would make the concept of a mouse-cursur impossible.

The problem is: what kind of replay do you think the FSF should give?
Because thats JUST what the FSF would like to do. RMS would glady disown every software company, and makes no secret of it.
Binary distros.... Why should the end-user compile anything?
Sorry, no.
