  1. Re:HOLY HELL! on Microsoft to Buy Rational and/or Borland? · · Score: 1

    Glad you brought that point up. However, what is the long term future of FP if it isn't based on the common lib structure that VB and C++ share now?

    That's pretty funny that your post got modded as a Troll.

    I'm sure Tony Soprano could find a good use for this against Tony Two-Toes.

    Try out RoleMaster. Lots of rules, charts.

    Using a whip, against a creature with chainmail? Chart.

    Rolemaster has a lot of rules. Might be worth a try.

    That would definately count out Resident Evil. Finding bullets in that game was kind of like finding leprechans on 4 leaf clovers.

    Yea, but according to your own words, the continuation of Moore's Law is making useful computers even cheaper for schools. Just think, in a few years where they'll be at.

    We have a few years until we reach movie quality real time rendering, and after that, what do we need more speed for?

    You're kidding right? I'm sure AI, VR, and infinite world-environment interaction could keep speed going for the next 30 years.

    We can't forget about the pixiedust. With fairydust and tinkerbell right around the corner, we've got years and years left of Moore's law.

    I was about to comment on how crappy the prices were there, but then I realized those were the ones with XP installed. At the bottom they start at $599.

    I don't understand why one would just install a pirated version of XP then.

    You mean pay for each use. The only way that works though is doing it online, and they've already proved with their past bungles they're not up to it.

    RIAA would like to make money that way too. A penny (or more?) for every person who hears a song.

    Besides, 95% of the planet doesn't use Windows. 90% of the planet don't own a computer - and they are the prime breeding ground for linux. As for what you might have meant - "95% of computers run Windows" - that's never been true either.

    Oh, so we're talking about mainframe motherboards then?

  18. what is NSA? duh on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 1

  19. Re:There is a difference between a nuclear attack on Karl Auerbach Speaks Out on ICANN · · Score: 1
    I agree. Considering the sophistication that these people admitted to witnessing, even this DDoS couldn't bring it down. There's a lot to be said for that.

    I doubt they're going to sit and hope it never happens again. I am sure more provisions are being thought of to handle another attack like that.

    "The California company that oversees the Internet's domain-name structure has decided to keep its five democratically elected board members through early next year -- even though their terms were due to expire this month. "

    Easy. They just need to have sons, name them Dubya, and have the sons elected into office.

  22. Re:why? on Gateway to Ship PCs with Pre-Installed DRM Music Files · · Score: 1
    To me the sad thing about all this is that people will be getting this music (might not even know it's a feature) enjoy playing it, and then get frustrated with not being able to burn it correctly, or do things with it the way they want.

    It's like fodder for another iMac commercial. "Hi I'm Moany Lisa, and I saved my mom's birthday".

    The people that know about all this, wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. The ones that don't are going to end up getting a bad experience from it. Is this a step up from a "CD" that crashes a computer?

  23. IP on Karl Auerbach Speaks Out on ICANN · · Score: 1

    is it really so bad? Couldn't we just use IP numbers directly? Sure, it's not the best, but lookups on WHOIS could make "mission critical" things like accessing my yahoo account still work!

    Quote:

    For your inquiry to these technical issues on "Spirits Away" DVD, we have made official inquiries to both Buena Vista Home Entertainment and Studio Ghbli, to which they answered as follows:

    Buena Vista Home Entertainment and its source said, "Spirits Away" and its cell frames are designed and produced with full-digital composite. Making and striking the master for the dvd was strictly supervised by the studio and Director of Photography. Therefore they believe the quality contained in the dvd and video is the best one they could get under the given circumstances.

    Studio Ghbli said that they did not use the data that was used in theatrical releasing prints of the film, but they used the newly mastered DVD/Video digital data in consideration with the fact that the DVD should be played on Liquid Crystal TV or Plasma TV, so should be no problem for its quality. As for the trailers on the DVD, it might not be color corrected for the DVD format so it might slightly be different from what you see in the DVD feature it they are the same scene.

    As you see, those people responsible for the creation of the DVD said they themselves were supervising the color correction and decided it should be OK. We cannot do anything about it.

    Hope this could help you understand and clear up the doubt that you have right now.

    For some reason, I feel like it'll NEVER get outside those 2 metros.

    Nothing good ever does. It's always...starting in Dallas, starting in L.A. 1TB cd's coming out "sometime next year".

    I'd rather wait for teleportation devices to be invented before I see something like this roll out. What's next, 3G ruins it all?
