Searching for a Playstation 3 tech demo on YouTube I found a Gears of Wars like preview of Unreal, on PS3! Today it is marketed as a Microsoft supported game. Does anyone know why that PS3 version has been abandoned? Did Microsoft support it with enough dollars or is this GoW only a preview of the might to come?
Yesterday, I looked up an unusual word using the built in Merriam-Webster link in the Konqueror web browser. At the same time, I was logged into my gmail account, since I often don't bother to log out.
Today, I received some spam into my gmail's "Spam Folder" with that word as the subject line!!!
The word I had searched for is too unique for any random chance of it popping up just like that. My question who is the culprit? Google? Merriam-Webster? Or me, for trusting Google's login system?
Otherwise, 1-5 apps, 2-10 browser windows, with 1-5 tabs in each browser window. My habits.
Some people I know had 50+ windows (IE 5 or 6?), but that was before tabbed browsing. Yes, and we never turned off those computer when leaving work. In fact it was considered bad for the pc:s (Wndows NT 4.0) to turn them on and off. If you had had to them off the broweser habit of that guy probably would have been different.
From the article: "A recent CIO Insight Research Study ranked Red Hat No. 1 for "vendor value". Oracle ranked 39 out of 41 overall, 40th in the category "meets expectations for lowering costs.""
Too expensive? I know why. Larry buys too big boats, too often. And, above all, he never invited me... (Now is your chance, Larry!)
I note it is full of website names like: Codestyle, Ms. Geek, Robots Net, Geeknik, Geek Press, Hack In The Box, Hacker News, Slashdot, Segfault etc. They are perhaps expected to be early adopters? Still, it is a long list.
IIRC, at least PostScript has been demonstrated as a Turing complete language (someone wrote a printer's driver in it, as reported on Slashdot many years ago, IIRC). And, given PDF's background, why shouldn't it be that too? Please, someone with more knowledge, please enlighten me if I'm on the wrong track! And, if it is, would that matter to this context, finding (or writing) 'backdoors'?
Delays, delays, choices, perspectives, and more delays. Those in my view are big factors to market presence. Choices? Yes, should I buy this or should I buy that? It is not as simple as if should I buy a Wii over a PS3, or even an Xbox360? Maybe a new bicycle, monitor, or anything else worth a few hundred dollars, depending on season; that fishing reel was just an example of something _offtopic_ that may influence your buying pattern. Releasing a product the wrong season may be bad for your product's life cycle. And if Wii comes out before Thanksgiving it probably will start Q3 2008 with a better market presence than Sony will have.
BTW, as was claimed in the article, Wii was shipped from Fishkill... Sounds darn close to a fishing reel to me, even if in essence wildly OT.:)
5.1 sound yes, but 6.1 or 7.1?! I chose 130W per channel for 5.1 or 90 per channel for 6.1 a few years ago. I chose the 5.1 system, which I have never regretted.
What is the 5.1 vs 6.1+7.1 DVD ratio? Has it changed over the last four years?
Since it came out The Sims was probably the most unexpected game to become a huge success. Who would have thought that, a game for girls? Most new games seem adapted for boys. My wallet and my daughters vote go for more really good girl games.
Why not use a live webcam? Select a number of pixels as source, label them as you wish and start compute. I mean, incoming photons ought to be fairly random too.

Ingenuity is Microsoft's best friend when it comes to fight GPL-licenced products. We are seeing the beginning of that.

No, he would be sued, by SCO. For what? SCO wouldn't know, but Gates would. SCO: You know what you've done!
apt-get install life
The one thing Krita cannot - run on Windows, wheras Gimp does.
That one feature is enough for me, as we have several computers in my family, and not all of them run Linux. Yes, it is installed on the Linux box.
This would have been a perfect poll, BTW.

While terraforming is cool, there may be severe health risks with finding unexpected life forms.
But, the cold? Will, a green house effect be enough to heat it? Are there any published estimates of timings and what effects may be had?
(BTW, who would like to have near Antarctic weather. Yes. It's cool, but...)

Had to kill it three times, when writing non-English languages. no problems with English.
Don't gimme no rundown, I wan't a blueprint.
But he doesn't need to worry, it is already covered by Slashdot.
Thanks, it was quite a lot! Proof indeed.

Calm down, rss and aggregators didn't catch on until now. How many web-pages has had rss-feeds more than five years? Very few I guess.

So many choices...
Well, I ended up choosing an AVET Pro EX 30/2, narrow spool, instead a new console for Christmas... Sorry guys, this is the reel nerd stuff.
- 6 Abec 5 rated sealed stainless steel bearings
- 6061 T aircraft aluminum body and sideplates, all cnc machined
- Internals are of the finest s/s 316 available

"...to keep things efficent and Open. Open Source, Open Society."
;)
Yeah, I hope they force Crytek to publish the Crysis code open source too!
If you can't beat them, join them?
Ask the Feds to take over and the little guys to stop bitching over jurisdictions. It's the same country for dBsfdkjh sake...
I will wait for the reader-friendly version. Reader's Digest, Simon Singh, Mario Livio where are you all?
Not only that, it made it to Slashdot some years ago, with many insightful comments already then! I particulary like the analysis of wave heights over deep oceans, which gives rounding errors at 32-bit precision! 64-bit are a minimum there.
