Unless you're talking vinyl, in which case you need to "improve" upon the original analogue source by adding surface noise, wow, compensating EQ curves and compression.
Who says a display has to be raster-based? If you eliminate that constraint, then other image encoding schemes may be considered, including vectors, wavelets and, yes, variable-sized pixels (though how one defines a 'pixel' in this context is arbitrary).

I'm not. To each their own, but unlike physical sports (and not all of them qualify for similar reasons), I see almost no transferable life skills or tangible benefits from being a professional gamer or (worse, IMO) a fan. I think one of the few rare cases of social decay that has not yet taken hold in North America and I hope it stays that way.
Good call. And if evidence shows this game runs under Wine on Ubuntu 8.10's ATI accelerated drivers, I may finally have a reason to update from Warcraft III/DoTA.
I wonder if IceFrog or anyone else has plans to port DoTA to this engine.
Cows are inefficient (and better suited to other purposes)
We should turn our attention further down the food chain. Why lot leverage the gazillion insects out there that serve no better purpose and put them to work on nano-scale "hamster" wheel generators? Fields and fields of insect generators, Matrix-style.
You'd be surprised how many people would love an internet that consists of nothing but (X)HTML web pages to be displayed as fast as possible. The internet has grown to be much more complex and the browsers have followed.
I concur. It took me years to realize and accept that I am prone to depression and that insomnia was a significant factor in the cycle of stress->lack of sleep->mood disorder.
Years of working first as a student, then as a programmer (reaching peaks of 100hr/wk) then marriage and three kids finally reached the breaking point where it became clear I was not myself.
Fortunately, my career has taken on a less self-destructive path and I have learned to understand my limits, triggers and the importance of treating things before they progress.
I try to stay active, eat and especially sleep well (or as well as can be expected with three little ones). I make a point of heading to bed early, with medication if necessary if I find I'm going short on sleep for more than a couple of days. I no longer take pride in the ability to burn both ends of the candle. While I agree everyone has their natural rhythms, anyone who thinks they are immune to them are borrowing from the bank, with interest. Eventually, you have to pay back.
Dune->Dances With Wolves->Pocahontas->Avatar->Dune
They've done the past, the future, space, jungle, prairies, desert. I'm guessing Pierre Morel will do a re-boot, as a prequel, set in a retro-future that resembles 18th century earth, but in water environment with indigenous high-sea pirates and giant killer jellyfish.
Some friendly advice to my competition. You need to stay current with acceptable business attire and trends regarding how to set yourself apart from the throngs of job interviewees.

I'm not knocking Linus Torvalds' achievements, but I don't see the connection here.
Stallman set out with a vision and objectives (freedom of expression) that are consistent with the merits associated with the Nobel Peace Prize.
I'm not sure Linus' motivations were ever more than an itch to scratch to satisfy his own needs (the lack of a suitably available kernel). He has stated that if either the GNU or 386BSD kernels were available at the time, he likely would not have written his own.
It just snowballed from there and he was a better project manager than Stallman in making it happen. The success of Linux may largely be attributed to Linus' technical skills as well as his dictatorial style, which may effective in managing a largely distributed open source project, but is hardly representative of the traits and merits of the Nobel Peace Prize.

I can finally complete my perpetual motion machine!
thank you for enlightening the youngsters.

Only a matter of time until the American Graffiti prequels. Then George can rape my parent's childhood too.
OMG! now they're raping your manhood too!
This is just great. So much for telling my kids to go outside to play to get them off the video games.
Quick - what's the most recursive lake on Earth?
I think they should kick it up a notch at World Cup 2014 and let each fan bring acoustic cannons. All in good fun, of course.

Zamboni and Olympia are competing brands for ice resurfacing machines. Unfortunately, people tend to confuse the terms and use them generically.

Chuck Norris. grizzled, angry and full of kick ass.
Leonard Nimoy's "Bilbo Baggins", however, is closer. The only redeeming quality is the elves/hobbits/whatever in miniskirts.
However, I have no desire to venture past the couple of youtube clips for the Star Wars Christmas Special.
and stay the hell off Europa (in other words, Get off my lawn).
I'm a promoter of the Big Ooze theory, myself. Sort of like leakage from an omnipotent being's a$$
