Surely they need to cool the components in the middle of the stack? Unless they decide to leave some of the holes open then anything in the middle is going to overheat?
I always imagined this kind of tech running on some kind of multi layered wire fence with plenty of room for cooling.
LOTS of overhead just to find the chunks. The article talks about 16kb chunks, which for a dvd image would take more than the torrent protocol currently allows.
The client would spend more time communicating its chunk lists around than actually getting data.
(If I remember rightly, torrents can have a max of 65535 chunks and some servers prevent huge.torrent files which contain the chunk breakpoints anyway)
The interface for Carbon is really hard to read. Its like they took the 1080 version and downsized it but kept the tiny fonts.
Its very difficult to read from any kind of distance, and every course is a night course (that I've discovered so far).
Other than that, its a great game. You don't need a steering wheel clipon and after playing with the wiimote you will have trouble going back to regular joystick ('cos the ps2/PC pads I have don't tilt).
To get the effect you have to force air over the surfaces. To counteract the torque, you have to force air over the flaps and bafflers. Anytime the air is turbulent it will make noise.
This bitch screams like a banshee because the motor is working overtime because aerodynamic efficiency is very low.
Does windows even care what the extension is? It attempts to read a file (of whatever name) and uses the parser which appears to fit. You can store jpeg data inside a file called *.png and vice versa.
Deep cover investigations continue for the relevant people
ie the police.
If they want to start playing private detective treating some cookie stealing as a hangable offence then I hope they get caught and sentenced for the fraudulent methods they use.
For the titlebar sizing Right click desktop, Appearance tab, click the Advanced button. On their, select "Active Title bar" by clicking a title bar in the preview or from the combo. Change Size down to 20. Click Ok and Ok, that gets you a standard sized Window titlebar:)
For the funky scroll effects Right click My Computer, select properties and onto teh Advanced tab. Click settings on the performance frame and untick any effects you don't want (Animate windows, fade, slide, smooth scroll etc)
Luna itself isn't that bad, you can reduce the size of the titlebar down to original size and disable all the sliding scrolling and fading. It is cleaner and takes up no extra space.
Playing with Vista at work has thrown up some horrible conflicts, the most noticable to me is the start menu, it no longer pops out so miss-clicking on a sub branch and choosing an alternative is annoying.
There is no denying Aero looks good and applications get a free facelift from it, but the day to day working in Windows is so badly thought out its a nightmare.
Take shutting down, I know its been done over to death, but 99% of the time your machine is shut down in the same way, you want a single button to go and shutdown. Its rare that you will do the other actions, so why get in the way with them? It makes shutting down a very precise action instead of almost unthinkable. The XP shutdown is right in this respect, you shutdown the computer the normal way. If you want a variation, you decide once you are leaving.
The small creatures discussed can only get through places where their bone structure allows. Its inpractical for a mouse to get through somewhere that involves breaking its own bones (unless a mouse is chasing it!). Make boney robots with flubber muscles and batteries and you are onto a winner. No flex required in the skeleton.
Seagate have just released an unlimited + 1 drive. Apparently, every bit of data in the entire universe exists on that drive simultaneously, however access time and bandwidth is a tad slow.
2 words, Customer demand. They provide a service customers want.
Newspapers give a wide selection of articles because people are interested in different things, this service is just the same. It says most users cannot read English, so the driver shows them and translates for them.
No wasted paper and a nice scalable infrastructure. I wouldn't be surprised if this kind of service doesn't take off, there could be franchises all around. Wouldn't be long term, but it would make money.
Sounds like everything coming out of MS nowadays. Outlook/Office 2003 onwards feels sluggish, Vista is a pile of crap and don't get me started on Visual Studio. I get ribbed by my colleagues for liking older versions, but feature creep in MS has gone too far.

Incidentally, didn't Hitachi beat them to the whole 3d element thing?

Are we sure this source code is clean and won't be nicked from some other piece of software?
Theres a guy posting videos of his attempts, and I just realised what we are watching:
Airborne roombas!

Good luck in making it quiet.
You will wake up with a massive hangover and a traffic cone in your bed.

Spock, arm the lawyers, set chairs to stun.
Now I have my glasses on I see the error of my ways.
The original poster was correct.
That will teach me to RTFC before I post (mind you, this is slash...)
Sure,

But apples grow on trees, you can't get any greener than that.
Mind you, think of the poor turtles murdered each year for Steve Jobs' wardrobe.
No, but the grue gets a twinkle in its eye and the supply crates contain various contraceptives.
unless a mouse is chasing it
of course I meant cat and please ignore the other cockups and errors.

The article says that the wifi will cost the same amount per day as regular wifi.
Does that mean it will cost less if you are flying East?

Congrats to the guy who put it together.
Do not underestimate the bandwidth of a bus capable of carrying the entire internet.
I'm sorry, but a polished turd is still a turd.
Are the suicide booths for the folks upset after having crufty Y front adverts subliminally beamed into their head overnight?
