Its user downloadable content. It changes details of the game mechanics. Those maybe wanted or not (perhaps people WANT a coffee machine that satisfies all theirs sims needs), but is it a hacK? Then making a single player quake level without healthpacks and lots of big monsters would be a hack, too....
dont worry, they tinkered with field emission displays before tfts were available and they STILL dont have good results, so just wait and be happy, the dell aint bad...
I have to STRONGLY disagree with your point number one. It seriously seems you dont know what you are talking about. Try createing a 2Mbit Mpeg2 video stream, compare it with a 1Mbit Divx stream: The results will speak for themselves. Not to mention EVERY dvd has the audio encoded. But like mpeg2, ac3 and DTS are outdated formats, so even the lossly encoded audio is bigger than it needs to be for the given quality.
Well, but those who said it cant be faster were RIGHT. Those were big discs. With every speed bumb, the disc went smaller. All those 10.000rpm drives have only 2.75" discs inside, the 15.000rpm scsi drives only use little more than 2" platters just to reduce the stress. Look around for a photo and you will find those little discs in the huge case.
So 20.000 maybe possible, but that should be it. YOu dont have to forget the forces on the disc. With track distances of a few 100nm, even slightest warpings would cause a failure.
150 kbyte is plenty for a normal screen res photo (xga) if you dont happen to photograph a newspager or a resolution chart. So postage stamp is a bit of an exegeration. O
This doesnt have anything to do with whining, 15million km per watt is simply FALSE. Its a cool archivement, but you still shouldnt post bullshit claimes...
I mean, beliving in god would be an abvious answer, but i dont believe that a god exists, although i cant prove it (as semantics freaks know, the "almighty" bit in his job description can mess with all deterministic logic: "this proves god doesnt exist!" "HA! He is almighty, so he just make your result seem like that to question our Faith!")
Well, finding ram prices wasnt easy, because back then there were so few computers with incompatible ram interfaces, but i found something in the december 83 issue of the CT magazine:
64KB of RAM for a commodore VC20 for 265DM, that should have been around 100$ back then. So 1MB would have been 1000$+.
In a phone, you would rather like few transistors->little ipc and make up with high clockspeed because of better idle power draw (few transistors->little leakage).
I guess a 486 would still be faster overall compared to those cpus, even if they have 10times the MHz.
Tires are good for a LOT more than 1 year if you only drive 300m per month... Plus there is less gravity, so even less strain on the tires. They should be the very last thing of the rover to fail.
Well, its certainly a better source than britannica about slashdot, because thats cited section is certainly better than nothing at all (the britannica case)
OGM is only a file container, so it doesnt matter. And ogg theora is a VERY outdated version of the vp codec. VP6.x was tested, theora is based on vp4.something, a more than 2 years outdated codebase. draw you own conclusions
No, its more like , after finding your car unlocked and doors open, closing the door and put a piece of paper on the dashboard to lock it the next time...
Im not a compiler programmer, but IIRC even if the compiler supports 16bit integers, every memory object will be padded to a 32bit offset just to provent page breaks with any kind of optimisation enabled, so unless you create arrays of those shorts, you wont safe space.
Well, thing is there ARE some crackheads who are starting an "ethnics" discussion that it is unjust to keep to good results of placebos from the general public and allow their use... so they want to change those regulations...
Thats clear... What the parent is talking about is NOT the usage of placebos for double-blind studies, but as a real medication "in the wild" thats being discussed....
I didnt get a serial, so i could only play with the app, and its HORRIBLE. Like kazaa meets winamp3... Horrible gui with little pauses and laggy feeling when navigating, ugly blue-blob buttons, a new.torrent/exeem:// duality (why not only use one if its completely propritary instead of faking being a bittorrent client?)
My problem with placebos is following: The placebo effect is "always on" when people get real medication. Now people will doubt whatever they are given is real or only placebo, making the placebos ineffective plus reducing the effect of the normal drugs. Placebos ONLY work "under the desk", when they are openly discussed its too late...
Well, i remember painy 400DM (at that time 250$) for 4 MB in late 94 when i bought my 486... But in the 90s there were long times of stagnant memory prices (or even price increases... anybody remember those sad "plastic factory producing chip resources burned down" stories that were used to fake a supply drop?)

HDTV movies, 20-40GB per piece.
I can certainly wath more than 15 movies...

Once again for the slow ones:
Mhz=!Performance
Performance= IPC*Mhz

Well, im surprised that its now much more.
Simply clicking on "start" does relust in over 1000 registry accessed on xp...

thats true for write.exe, too :)

just use more clients... or /dev/random as source... or just sends the same 2GB again and again from RAM...

of course your compiler will just say "fuck you" and padd them to 32 or 64 bit... So nothing saved and potential errors added...
200$ for 4MB? Thas more 1994 than 1989...
