There is already a very mature mplayer port on native xbox-windows/DirectX. I think it goes without saying that a xbox-linux media player will be slower and lesser-featured than a native player that takes advantage of video accelleration and surround sound for example.
That site on wayback (and your mirrored file, taken from the same site) is hopelessly outdated.. See the "2001" in the url? FreeCraft is at version 1.18 (or more), haven't checked lately.
Funny coincidence, I was just reading an article about the planned CERN Large Hadron Collider which will be ready in 2007; it'll put out 1250 Mbyte/sec. This is stored to tape though (~50 30 Mbyte/sec Storagetek 9.940B drives in parallel), not realtime.
Making the shuttle hull and wings resistant to that kind of impact would have increased the weight far too much imo. Better to secure the foam so that chunks can't break off.
Hell, i'd be suprised if mankind at it's present level couldn't bash something together in a couple of years if under pressure.. Rocket science isn't rocket science anymore:)
Exactly. This is actually something IE does right, the ie powertoys thingy for IE5 which also works in IE6 adds such easily-configurable searches. I use "g" for google, "av" etc.. You wouldn't believe how much time this saves over the moz/firebird way of doing things, or having to go to the actual page (shudder).
Oh no! You must be a terrist! How can a person suggest such things! Smaller houses? No cars? Making do with less for the greater good!! Are you insane man! This is America!!!
If your definition of "perfect" is 640x480/low detail, then yes... Look at the recent benchmarks of geforce 5900 ultra / radeon 9800... They only get like 60-90fps in 640x480/high detail, so how about a card 10 times slower...
The statement "but dos only uses" is misleading, DOS uses all available disk area, it's just that the tracks and cycles are spaced further apart. The TSR/formatting program "2M" simply ordered the data closer together on the disk, in fact quite similarly to these cdr-techniques. (worth noting that error rates go up when density goes up, so don't think you're getting something for nothing)
Wrong-o! micro is 10^-6, nano is 10^-9, not 10^-12.. Also, what kind of latency do you think sending data over a network will introduce? Even with gigabit ethernet over fiber or what have you for minimum latency it'll be on the ms scale..
Come come you imbecile, what do you think will happen to America in 60 years? If the grandparent poster is correct you will be living in a disgusting malthusian anthill. The earth is not infinite, and humans are rapidly filling up all available living space.
The GNP is limited by enviroment, natural resources and population growth, all of which will certainly begin to manifest themselves well within our lifetimes..
It uses a realmagic mpeg2/4 decoder chip, the company which I might mention has a history of evil closedness of their drivers and of stealing GPL software (xvid) and passing it off as their own. Also, it will never be able to playback advanced profile mpeg4 (a lot of divx 5.02/03 and possibly newer versions of xvid), that's a limitation of the decoder chip. Thirdly, given the variety in the divx world, there are several more or less esoteric variant formats like ms-vki-mpeg4v2/3, avi files with subtitles in so-and-so format, sound codecs like "divx audio" (wma6) and of course there will invariably be many files which desync given the many many hackish ways to encode and interleave vbr audio and video in avi format... Suffice to say, if you can in any way get a modded xbox or build a HTPC yourself for the same price, do that instead of buying this.
Floppies are weird that way. I too have some disks which have withstood up to maybe 10 times the read/write cycles and various transport abuse that others from the very same 10-pack.. They must make them so sloppily (because it's such a simple media) that some are built excellently with a good coating of magnet-stuff on the plastic disc etc etc, and some get bad sectors spontaneously after a days use.

That has nothing to do with the USPS and everything to do with the mail handling at sun..

If you want to get technical, the most-downloaded "program" is probably the windows update activex component :)
Actually it looks like a MO disc but smaller :p

From known issues on 0.6:
Form auto-complete is still an unstable feature and may lead to crashes.
Disabling of form auto-completion is not working.
So I can expect random crashes and annoying-ass autocomplete that can't be turned off? Cool. Think'll stay with IE..

whoops, foot-in-mouth alert! -_-, ms = milli, not micro.. sorry.
That doesn't invalidate my point about networking latency though...
Wrong-o! micro is 10^-6, nano is 10^-9, not 10^-12..

Very good. Unfortunately you can't spell "hole". Application rejected :)

Yeah but who the fuck wants to live in a malthusian nightmare right out of a sci-fi novel...
Come on, tt's not either of those examples are rocket science...
Anyone with half a brain can usually figure stuff like that out themselves..

Seriously.
The best season was #5.
The Sahara is a pretty windy place... I doubt a balloon would be any good.
