If you have some time to waste and extra RAM, try installing UT on a Ram Disk.
I did this with Quake 3 a couple years ago and it worked great. I didn't exactly see a huge gameplay performance increase, but the levels loaded instantly.
"If they have the capability to provide such a product which tacks onto Windows, why can't they just incorporate it into Windows and make it part of the OS?"
Holding anything other than a mouse in my right hand causes my entire right arm to painfully curl up to my shoulder and my left arm begins to have severe tremors. It makes reading a magazine extremely difficult since the magazine is constantly slapping me across my face.
The article forgot a couple PROs:
- Your 3 year old won't bring it behind the couch/secret-fortress-of-magazine-destruction-and- general-place-for-hiding-your-stuff and tear your magazine up when he's alone in the living room.
- Your 3 year old won't spill his milk on the article about Half-Life 2 and have it drench every page under it (though, I guess he could spill milk on the computer and cause it to explode somehow, but that hasn't happened yet so I'll mark this a PRO).
It's a great idea, I'm all for it. The use of searchable text is invaluable to me, I tend to go through magazines backwards for some odd reason and never look at the table of contents except as a last resort.
94,000,000 emails in a single month. If 1% of those emails made them a single dollar the would still gross $940,000 (US $687,034). That's pretty impressive for 1 month's work (hell, I'd still be impressed if it was over 5 years).
Now what, they pay $100,000, move to Tahiti and retire for the rest of their lives? That'll show'em!
Who is going to choose a camcorder copy of a film over actually seeing it? That's right - those who weren't going to see it in the first place anyway.
Yeah, this is kind of like the whole sharing music thing right? People who download music were never really going to go out and buy it right? In fact, I bet if it was impossible to to share any type of music or video what-so-ever, those same people would still never, ever go see a movie or puchase a song they may have potentially been able to donwload for free.
Wishful thinking. I know plenty of people that have decided not to go out and see a movie because they've already seen it on their computer, or opted not to buy a cd because they already downloaded the songs - even if the quality isn't as great.
Great, but why did it take them so long to figure out that people don't need new 3GHz Dells just to run word processors and internet explorer (at least until MS Longhorn comes out...)?
You may have a 800+ credit score (generally anything over 730 is considered excellent), but if you're applying for a mortgage, that loan application is still sent to the hands of a human underwriter. And by law, (as a morgagte broker anyways) we're required to fill out you Race, Ethnicicty & Sex. If you decide not to give that information, we're supposed to fill it in ourselves based on appearance, surname etc.
From my experience as a mortgage broker, I've never seen and type of racism or dicrimination. But that information is supplied for someone to do so.
Maybe I missed something, but do either of those sites offer the ability to log into each particular CMS as an administrator and try out the various functions, components, modules etc etc of each and see how changes are affected on the frontpage/rest of the website?
Sure, side by side comparisons are great, but unless the sites you mentioned actually provide a hands on experience, I can hardly think you can say "[These sites] are better.". When you buy a new car, don't you test drive it first? Or do you just base your purchase on whats listed in a brochure?
"The United States harbors concerns that the army-run Chinese program could some day pose a threat to U.S. dominance in military satellite communications."
I can understand the concern. A billion plus people, a huge army, an economy that is growing rapidly and will probably soon trounce the US's to become the next Superpower.
But China has never really been an expansionistic type country. It's seems throughout their history, they're usually the ones attacked, or the fighting is domestic (power struggles etc).
Here's where I contradict myself - I could see all of that changing however, a growing economy with a billion++ people will probably need a lot of resources...especially oil.
I wonder if this whole Iraq war is really about safeguarding the middle east from future chinese aggression. I mean, we can't have a communist nation invading a democratic nation!
Or even an areas around it as it would cause the domino effect and all the countries around it would fall to communisim as well (SEE Vietnam War).
I never understood why this wasn't done here in the states. $50 is not the same to Joe Average as it is to Joe Billionaire.
If it was 5% (I know, a high percentgage, just using it for an example) of their gross yearly income, then we're all on equal ground.
Taxes should be the same way. No more brackets, we all pay 28% or something.
nVidia mine as well get into the case and CPU fan/heatsink business! Look at that thing!
Hell, with something that big they should just build freezer around the card.
Its in the article - "No evidence was presented that the alleged infringers either distributed or authorized the reproduction of sound recordings. They merely placed personal copies onto shared directories on their computers which were accessible by other computer users via an online download service," the judge wrote.
I wouldn't say pointlessly. Reading different points of views on a myriad of different topics has really opened my mind, and I've learned I'm not always right.
As far as surfing the web at work, I get paid strictly on commision. If I don't work, I don't eat.
If I want to take 10 minutes off for a break, I take it.

Just my 2 cents

Though it's aimed more at CMS's rather than blogs, it's definatley a great place to try out multiple CMS's before installing them.
Check it out - OpenSourceCMS
My current favorites:
Mambo
Wordpress
E107
and last but not least Geeklog
It's right here
Okay, so they expand at the rate of 1.2 million sq miles per millenia. I really don't think that qualifies them as expansionistic. /slight sarcasm
