Sounds like you're telling Win users to suck upon the perfected formed, pert... um fragments of their lovely detailed (and d^Hphong shaded of course)...uh models. I don't see the issue.

Surely NVidia guys (i.e the ex-Sun guys) knew of this SGI feature having worked in that same market earlier.
Man, I miss the days when computer shows weren't swap meets.. and you saw all these cool public demos with SGI/Sun/NeXT. I was just a kid then, but hey it inspired me to do what I do today.

I hope this was intended funny, but others might be naive enough to worry about it. There is a limited capability of shaders right. As far as output, you only have a collection of graphic (or historically graphic) buffers et cetera that would have to be explicitly read THEN used in a manner to execute (either partial or in full). I hope the JPEG fiasco (Windows of course) squashed developers like that.
That being said, anything is possible and I am aware of pass-crackers that use graphic/CUDA technologies for crazy speeds at low cost (obviously, this could only useful in a support role for the other trojans/worms/malware at large). Given that people that don't know history are doomed to repeat it (Superfriends!), I expect the CUDA-leveraging virus within the year (for Windows of course).
Number 56 eh? You must be one the "cool" ones from the Village.
Course, you're back from when the brainwashing had that personal touch like faked escapes or body doubles (Oh, and secret LSD experiments... apparently they didn't want long lines of "volunteers"). Nowadays, it's just "warrantless wiretap; seize the hard drive; force viewing Jersey Shore and Sandra Lee shows".
You have a naive belief that ALL cable channels don't slowly migrate towards the same generic dark beige colored pig slop. The trough forged from the charred bones of MTV's carrion; the putrid smell of decaying encephalon; the insidious jocularity upon grinning undead peddlers. NOM NOM NOM indeed.
What are some of the strategies other slashdotters use to get PDFs onto a Kindle (besides using it in straight PDF format)?
For me, I had a code heavy book that I wanted to convert to make in more native, less having to zoom and such. I've tried Calibre (I was already using if for my digital books), however the conversion took FOREVER. And, that was after turning off a lot of the chapter stuff and the result wasn't that good. I ended up using Adobe Creator to export doc or html (sorry, forgot:), then using Calibre. Even then, it was just acceptable not superb.
Well, he certainly has a bias in this. I think he means all addr registered to ARIN. But, if you never registered your preARIN numbers, then seems like you wouldn't be affected by the policies (but this is lawyer territory, so wdik). While registering might be the right thing to do, it doesn't seem like rights enumerated up from the start (I would assume some retained all their rights such as DoD). For some people, I think it is going to come down to the lawyers battling it out over things like implicit rights, what rights IANA et al. reserved, etc.
A comment I found succinct, from their list-serv:
Jo Rhett said: "I wanted to have explicit clarity on what rights these are."
This is probably the crux of the problem. Was their any explicit clarity on the rights (or responsibilities) for legacy assignments? A block that I got in December of 1994 from the University of Toronto (who handled block assignments in Canada at that time) had little legal language associated with it and what was written was different than what IANA was saying at the time, which was different than what InterNIC said under the Versisign registry contract which may have been different from what the Department of Commerce intended, who was getting advice and policy development from Jon Postel.
I'm having trouble finding documentation on the assignment. Since there wasn't really any legalese related to it, we didn't think much about document management related to the assignment. We just asked for the block, got one, used it, maintained it, thought of it as "ours" (whatever that word means) and carried on with our day-to-day work of figuring out how to run a network with the IP addresses that were handed to us with little explanation. In a sense, we homesteaded before the surveyors arrived to put stakes in the ground and we're still figuring out how to plough around them without digging them up.
Think if they combined Minecraft with Starcraft? I would probably just kill myself right there; I've beat heroin before, but come on... Minecraft + Starcraft? That's too heavy for me.
Everybody knows truly advanced beings use base 12, since that gives you PI's true form. My crystal skull told me (It also told Harrison Ford not to make that movie; most people don't listen to it).
Doh. That seems a completely valid Patient Zero; that would even get borderline opponents to use it (if just for that one thing).From there it would spread...

The next Rocky will involve him starting street fights with file sharers and torrent users. However, the montage scene will be QUALITY as ALWAYS.
Maybe they thought it was The Avengers, The Incredibles, or pr0n.
This just tangential related but ...

First they came for the 3x5 cards and i said nothing
Then they came for the 8 1/2 x 11 paper, i was too afraid to speak
Then they came for my pound cake, i let them take it
When they came for my 10 inch... .

I like how he (she perhaps?) substituted $$ for SS. Very clever girl.

Well, if they can put a tiger in your tank, then putting a shark in shouldn't pose too much difficulty.
Lost your original 2-digit id there pops?
One could write a dissertation on the many ways, both the obvious and nuanced, this post doesn't work on this site.
Works for me, I'll start right away. The ID with 666 and Federal ID is already there with some of them anyways.
