Would you please install more memory? Also, you may need to reboot THE server. There seems to be some anomalies being discovered in our Universe-matrix.
PS. before our matrix ends in the distant future, can you migrate us to another relm/simulation? Also, we need FTL travel capability. Please patch our simulation and provide us the change.log file to make use of it. Thanks.
It might actually happen in the US. Thanks to all the environmental laws in place (can't drill here, can't refine there) and national security, anyone want to guess what will happen next?
Laws won't change, and politicians have already pissed off "big oil". Thus, I would wager the domestic oil industry would fall under military command. They would build "bases" where they need to drill and refine. In doing so, they can protect it.
Given how important oil is for our country, the Executive branch might best see it under thier control and away from the Legislative branch where it can be used as the political football that it currently is.
Oh hell, why not do away with media all togeather?
Just make your console have an online connection a *requirement*. This way, you can setup an iTunes like system to purchase and download the game to your console's harddrive. Should your console die or be re-sold, you simply call a customer support rep to rebind your online account with the new console's serial number. This would prevent casual copying via your friends.
Going medialess solves many issues.
1. Zero cost in the creation of media (making ROM chips or pressing CDs) 2. Kill the 3rd party rental stores (block buster..etc) and direct the revenue stream directly to you. 3. Kill the 3rd party resellers (EB games...etc) and direct the revenue stream directly to you. 4. Parental control being the parents will be the one in charge of the Credit Cards (and will see GTA on the next billing cycle statement) 5. Purchase and downloading is easy. As such, it will be much easer to create and sell game "add on" modules.
Really, I should be getting *PAID* by Nintendo and Microsoft for coming up with this!
I'm typing this on my Unicomp right this moment. It's built like a tank, and makes for a nice weapon should someone break into my appartment. Provides a nice solid "click" thanks to the mechanical buckling springs. The model below lists for $69.

I should mention that De Beers also tightly controls the diamond cutter workforce -- any diamond cutter who cuts for a company other than De Beers is immediately cut off from doing any De Beers work
I don't know anything about the diamond market, but it would seem to me that precision computer calculated cutting machines would have made this manual labor a thing of the past. Unless of course, having that flawed human touch adds artistic value?
You could travel to and spend money in the Soviet Union during the cold war, we had full diplomatic relations the entire time, and they were "the Evil Empire" supposedly hell-bent on the complete annihilation of our entire way of life under hair-trigger threat of nuclear hellfire sufficient to wipe out every city with a population exceeding fifty...
Like, DUH! Do you think we (the US) wanted to have diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union? Hell no! It was their nuclear stockpile precisely why we maintained relations with them. Our relationship with them was along the lines of "Ok, stay calm. Don't push the shiny red button ok. We clear? Cool cool...ok now...*sigh*
Cuba on the other hand no longer posed a threat which is why we diplomatically kicked them to the curb. I'm not saying it was right, but that's how it was and continues to be.

If they want all that, who are we to preserve their "culture"? Maybe... just maybe they're tired of their "culture" due to communism all these generations.
Not many people have a pig as a pet. Dogs on the other hand, show affection, love, and loyalty to their owner. So unless their dogs are treated like cattle, I can't imagine someone killing their own pet.
If you have a single core CPU, I suspect this will speed up UT3. However, if you have a multi-core CPU, it could be different. One core runs the game, another the PhysX is software, and the video card has all free resources to rendering.
I have a feeling that benchmarks will reveal nVidia enabled PhysX will SLOW down UT3 framerates.
According to someone on a forum (Microsoft) who also has this motherboard, he states he just needed to disable the JMicron SATA controller in BIOS in order for it to finish.
Not even once mentioning the contempt issue is just plain irresponsible journalism.
Nothing new.
Journalistic malpractice is the rule rather than the exception these days. It's about time we start holding their reputations accountable! You sir, are doing a great service for the Slashdot community by pointing this out. Thank you.
No, because all my music was on my PC to begin with. When I brought the new iPod home, I just connected and resynced.
If you own an iPod, you know music transfers are a one-way. You can copy to an iPod, just not from an iPod back to your PC. It's Apple's way of preventing piracy and all that stuff.
1.) Train every man, woman, and child in America to professionaly dig ditches. Then, have them use this skill to lay lots and lots of fiber across the country.
2.) Develop blistering fast optical chips and an inferace bus to manage and route all the traffic.
Two or three years ago, my iPod's (3rd gen) battery went out. I originally received this unit as a gift which also included some five extended warrant plan. So; I drop the unit off at Best Buy to be fixed, and proceeded to pick it up the following weekend. The funniest thing happened. You see... after the employee handed me the box, I opened it up to find....no iPod. They spent 30 minutes looking for it and even checked to see if it ended up as some store demo unit. Nope. It was gone and most likely stolen.
For me, I had a happy day for they gave me a brand-spanking new 4th gen iPod. Hell ya baby! I wasn't going to sit around and argue about it nor did I want to buy them any more time to find my original iPod. I took the offer without second guessing it =)
My guess someone (or group) had enough "pull" in the organization to take over the Vista project management. In the end, you had a bunch of suits making all sorts of requests that were leading the original development path down a wrong way. Let's face it; Microsoft has all the money in the world to higher some of the best minds around. Same goes for Google. I simple can't imagine the problems with Vista was a technical issue to start with.
Anyone else notice how quite things have been in Redmond? I have this gut feeling a major corporate shakedown is happening as we speak. Certainly, heads will roll in the process. If so, I doubt Vista will be the cause, but rather a victim like the rest of us.

Silly question perhaps, but is optimized to use SSE, SSE2, SSE3, or any other instruction sets?
With programs like 3.2.1. Contact, Mr wizard's World, Bill Nye The Science Guy, and Myth Busters; Socrates would've been proud!
Also worth noting, he would be crying in shame if he saw how our public educational system was ran...like a prison.
If a BIOS option was available to disable the DIMM slots and run purely off the L3 cache, it would be kinda cool run an OS inside it.

Keep looking. It's right up there with flying cars, nuclear fusion, and lunar vacations.

Since when does developing nano technology require brute force cheap labor and low tech equipment?
Nano Tech will require bright minds and very highend industrial technology. Currently, the US leads China in both fields.
