TWC in Western Ohio has fiber lines going to their distribution nodes. These fiber lines are set to support DS3 speeds (45mbps/45mbps) and there is a max of 10 users per node which would give everyone a 4.5mbps/4.5mbps bi-directional link. However, the cable modems are programmed to only go 3mbps/384kbps. Where does the upstream go? Nowhere, it sits there unused. Furthermore that 45mbps can be increased to 1000mbps and easily provide 10mbps/10mbps.
Don't French laws only apply to sites not just registered under the.fr domain but also physically located in France?
This reminds me of an episode of Family guy where Stewie and Brian get stuck in Arabia and then go through Germany to get back home. On a tour bus Biran notices that there is almost no documented history during WII in Germany and questions it. The German just denies it happenening. History, be it objectable in moral contact is still history and should be carefully observed and studied rather than censored. What are the European goverments thinking? They are acting just like the Roman-Catholic Church, you know that Church no one really liked and rebelled against.
Seeing as how all 9 episodes where conceived at once and simply written down on paper at different times this seems hardly surprising and hinting that the denials of sequels were nothing more than marketing ploys.
I think it won't be longer passwords but a unique key assigned to you or generated from you such as a thumb print or retina image coupled with a 8-12 character password -or- two short passwords which change at different times.
When it comes to video games all one has to do anymore to distribute is have an network enabled system. Most gamers now have a fat enough pipe to download content on the fly. Publishers spend a lot of money making pretty triple gloss and beveled cardboard boxes and contact stores to distribute the software. However, all that needs to be done now is to advertise online and distribute the game for a lower price over protocols such as Bittorrent. The more developers that do this the less it will cost for games. If you download a copy of a game it should cost LESS money than if you buy all of it in the store because now you are not getting: -A pretty box -A printed manual -CD-ROM case -CD-ROM (with licensed technology such as SecureROM, etc.) Why should you as a consumer pay for the aforementioned objects if you do not recieve them when you download a game? The developer can cut the cost of the game down to $20 or even less if they allow purchasing the game directly from them and distributing via the internet. When they sign the contract with the publisher make it so the publisher gets revenue from the products they sell but not that of what the developer distributes directly. Then see how much less that software is pirated.
The same can be done with services like AOL. Just go into a few chatrooms. Copy the list of users in the room, then add @aol.com and viola you have a list of thousands of people. This is old news, very old. Furthermore, public profiles can be added to the database as well from services like AOL. This is not a bug, it's not a blanted security hole, it's simply a person trying to think he is crafty. If the information is publicly available then it can be obtained a variety of ways and very easily. If it is private and can be obtained by means of exploiting the system then it is a security hole.
We no longer expect to have to drive a car with a manual by our side. It should be the same with computers.
Car manufacturers didn't make cars easy to use, people learned how to use them and started to remember. No one made my computer easy to use, I read the manuals and played with the settings and buttons until I understood how it works and now I remember. Machinery be it mechanical or electrical is complex and difficult to use and understand. However, it is the users responsibility, not the developer/manufacturer to make it so the user can understand the product. Most software is well enough documented so that you are able to understand how to use it. Perhaps end-users should actually read the manual for once rather than calling tech support right away and then complaining on the internet and to their friends IRL.
How about the becons of Gondor? The stewart of Gondor was not mad to begin with. He became mad after his son died. Having the becons of Gondor not lit and him refusing to light them portrayed him as mad. Not to mention Pippin never lit the becons and as a servant of the stewart would not allow himself to.
LOTR movies had good directing and special effects? The special effects were pheonominal to say the least. However-- have you read the books? Parts of the story were completely rewritten in the movie. Such as Pippin lighting the beacons of Gondor. I was infuriated with how many inconsistences and rewrites there were in the movies. The books were masterpieces and the movies fail to represent properly.
Common Integrated Processor (CIP) - heart of integrated avionics suite - with 100 times the
computing power of the Space Shuttle
There are two CIPs in each F-22, with 66 module slots per CIP. They have identical backplanes and all of the F-22's processing requirements can be handled by only seven different types of processors. Currently, 19 of 66 slots in CIP 1 and 22 of 66 slots in CIP are open and available for expansion.
Each module is limited by design to only 75 percent of its capability, so the F-22 has 30 percent growth capability with no change to the existing equipment. There is space, power and cooling provisions in the aircraft now for a third CIP, so the requirement for a 200 percent avionics growth capability in the F-22 can be easily met.
There is coordinated plan for technology growth that will help keep the CIP at state-of-the-art levels. As electronics continue to get smaller and more powerful, it is conceivable that there could be 300 percent increase in avionics capability.
If you are refering to games such as UT2k3/UT2k4, Doom III, Deus Ex: Invisible War, etc. I am wondering what you are referring to as realistic human graphics? Since when did human skin look like it was gone over with mop and glo a few times? All new video game engines for some reason or another want to make evey damn thing in the game shiny!
Assuming that the computers are "state-of-the-art" they are running a somewhat archaic OS. In fact the OS cannot even recognize the hardware that is currently in my box right now. I say, unless they reworked the NT kernel to support more RAM and faster CPUs and wrote their own drivers for every piece of hardware that they cannot have a "state-of-the-art" computer. Unless of course they are saying it was state-of-the-art back when the first model of this boat was built. Then I may have to agree.
Hardly, the F-22 has the computing power equivalant to two cray supercomputers. However, it often requires an in-flight reboot of all systems. Perhaps that is because they are running Windows NT as well?
So now we can't use words in the dictionary to name something? Maybe the inventor(s) of the prefix tele or micro; or the inventor(s) of the suffix soft will go around suing people because they used prefixes/suffixes without giving credit to the person who coined the term.
I still do not understand why make HDTVs with CableCARDs already in them to get a "better picture" when they should be concentrating on better transmission methods. The signal is still analog and will still need to be decoded and passed through analog-digital filters. So what's the point?
Set top boxes have a decryptor card. The technology is still the same. I would assume that these cards would be replacable as well due to the fact that they are probably not going to have as long of a life time as the TV itself. That said... it can be hacked, cracked, then rewritten.

Gabe also said that the release date for HL2 was going to be September 19, 2003.

I thought patents were given to things that were not already being done and not obvious.
player league tables
Used by all leagues in existance online especially big ones such as CPL and CAL. Not to mention used by Microsoft on XBox LIVE!
voice communications
XBox communicator and Roger Wilco as well as built in services in many popular games
online gaming host services XBox LIVE!, GameSpy Arcade, etc.
WTF is the patent office thinking these days?
What about the AMD Opteron 850?
This benchmark put up a server class CPU vs. a desktop class CPU. They should've put the Xeon up against an equivilant Opteron.

what kind of video card do you have in your desktop that you get such low performance on farcry?

My SGI 320 VWS running Win2000 with 384 MB of RAM (32 Shared with Video) and dual PII-600's runs perfectly fine. Even Flash, OOo, and Java run smooth.
Assuming that the computers are "state-of-the-art" they are running a somewhat archaic OS. In fact the OS cannot even recognize the hardware that is currently in my box right now. I say, unless they reworked the NT kernel to support more RAM and faster CPUs and wrote their own drivers for every piece of hardware that they cannot have a "state-of-the-art" computer.

I would be willing to pay for a console that has games which are compatible with their PC counterparts.
So now we can't use words in the dictionary to name something? Maybe the inventor(s) of the prefix tele or micro; or the inventor(s) of the suffix soft will go around suing people because they used prefixes/suffixes without giving credit to the person who coined the term.
800 MB? What? Valve didn't even lose that much and the Cisco IOS can fit on a floppy.

How can he say that when Intel just about won't hire anyone that doesn't at least have their bachelors?
