Hah! I remember playing game soundtracks. But back in the day when the games actually had cd-da as tracks 2 and up. Basically what would be considered a mixed mode disk. But with a game. Personal favorite: Mechwarrior 2
well im not a big proponent of toolbars, I would rather embed stuff directly into my desktop, that way it doesn't actively take up screen space...i understand that there may be stuff like autohide, but i would rather not have it pop up at inopportune times. Here is a sample of what can be done w/ embedding.
It would be a sad irony that if in the interest of the status quo we stifle innovation, because in the end all that will lead to is less investment in these important networks.
It's a shame all of us can't see we are stifling innovation. If it wasn't for verisign, we wouldn't have redone some of our programs. Think of it as an upgrade, we are providing yet another "upgrade" to our application/scripts. Thats innovative!
I beg to differ. Idiot college students are making cases that let you drop eggs off 10 story buildings; you can't design a laptop case that absorbs impact shock?
I think this is exactly what the parent was talking about when he said:
A case will not stop the jarring impact after the fall, though it might keep the exterior spiffy...
Sure the egg shell is unbroken, but the inside is not exactly stable, so the yolk is banging around in there.
Most of the pieces that can be damaged are inside the laptop. Weakly connected pieces, the hard drive's read/write head, the precision laser for your DVD/CD ROM drive, the keys on the keyboard, the LCD screen, etc. are all INSIDE your laptop when it falls.
Oh, and idiot college students study something called physics. When you have time off throwing generalized comments, try looking up inertia. Huzzah for newtons first law.
At the risk of being Offtopic... I know it's fashionable to bash MS and their products, but this statement is simply silly. What you're referring to MS doing with the X-Box is called a "loss leader." They make the platform at a loss with the hopes of making up the dividends on the individual games. All the major consoles do the exact same thing as do manufacturers of printers (ever wonder why you can get a printer for 80 bucks, but the carts are 15-30 bucks each, not to mention paper?), and several other industries.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but what lexmark does is profitable to them, what microsoft is doing is stilllosing them money. They are using the xbox merely to get their foot in the proverbial console door, in preparation hopefully to become profitable with the xbox2.
Next time someone mentions microsoft and one of their products, they might not be just trying to blame the problems of the world on them, and the poster might actually be talking about something that pertains to the subject.
That never stopped the xbox.:) I guess I am comparing lawsuits to consoles, but in any case, the lawsuits is not where they are gaining most of their money, much like microsoft and the xbox. They can sustain these lawsuits/consoles because they have other ways to gain money.
I'll be able to choose between skirts or pants more precisely!
guys dont wear skirts, wait...why is your handle... your not supposed to be here, I always thought the rumors about girls on slashdot were just a fable;p~
when I can get it on Kazaa. Preferably as a single zip.
doubtfull you will find it on Kazaa, more likely as a torrent. If it were on kazaa, there would be so much attenuation, your queue would say done in 300 days.
sigh...i read the same thing, and I was very confused.
Pentium(R) 4 processor Extreme Edition 3.20 GHz , with an extra 2 Megabytes. In Intel's own words, "this new processor will be targeted at high-end gamers and computing power users."
then later on ->
As a matter of fact, 2MB cache will help a lot those users whose apps (including games and such) have a lot of big cache-friendly pieces...
I dont quite see where the extra 2 megs comes in. It isn't quite extra if it is inclusive to the other space? lol
or even IF they plan it to be "extra" what will the base be?
So now they admit that they had no idea about the validity of their own claims. Why is this not surpising?
As far as I could tell after reading the whole article, they did not actually admit anything. The writer of the article is just coming to that conclusion via other evidence.
well more ip's less domains, but uh still the same amount of growing users... i seriously doubt that even w/ a ton of ip's people arn't gonna buy domains...even for things like www.portaltomymicrowave.com:)
Anyone know a good DSL router that runs Linux? We are getting broadband here soon (Woo-hooo!) and I'd love to get one that I could tweak!
i dont know what exactly you mean by "tweak", but many people seem to like linksys, i used to use one myself until i went to a homegrown solution.
The only problem I found with the linksys came after quite a bit of usage, and quite a bit of firmware upgrades, it was the model befsr41, and after a time, if you sent so many packets down the line/sec(i dont even have approx #), it would basically die for a couple minutes before it would come back up. SPI would also not allow for port forwarding. It was however the best router I have worked with before.
I have also helped a couple friends setup some ranging from netgear to dlink to belkin to microsoft. There are a couple quirks with each, like the netgear mr314. If you want to run a server behind that, it doesn't alias the external ip to the lan ports, so basically say you want to ping your external ip,...well you can't.:( you have to refer to it by its internal ip(which would be something to the effect of 192.168.0.1 for netgear).
The microsoft, dlink and belkin i didn't work with quite as much(as far as in depth tweaking), but i assume there are quirks with each of the systems. For the sake of not liking things to be broken as far as functionality, i would recommend a linksys.:)
no, im sorry,
as far as the road analogy, i have to say that if it is a private road and you let someone use it for a time, and then decide not to, they cannot legally use it without permission.
A good friend of mine did just this. He has a private road that happens to be in a convenient place for a business not very far from him. The businessman didn't slow down for his children, so he chained it off. The guy was infuriated, and took him to court on it. The judge saw fit to rule in my friends favor because well, it was private property.
so in short, yes, if the server/road is theirs they have every right to say that only licsenced clients/fords can use them.
hmm i wonder what would happen if you substituted the phrases that were repeated with numbers in the form of comma separated values? Would it be a new type of message reply compression? 1,2,3?1,2,1!4,2,2.
probably that's no problem if you don'r read files not produced by your own programs, are not connected to any network and are the only one to access your compuert:-)
no problems? microsoft windows can take care of that, it can be your one stop shop for corrupted files.

That's ok, there is many times when sitting looking at a funny spray in TF2 or CS has killed me. It shouldn't be too different.

"possibly to prevent people from finding changes to past statements and information when archived elsewhere."
Yeah, that's not a baseless accusation at all...
It isn't so much an accusation, it sounds more like they were just unpacking their Reynolds Wrap

Imagine that.
and if it's not profitable, they won't do it.

looks like he's in dire need of a shave, I have a razor I could lend him.
;p~
donate it to osdn, they will see it gets to the right place.
Ahh, the joys of another afternoon spent patching boxes. I guess it is better than waiting for a vendor to come up with a patched binary package.
Sorry to say this, but selling software is dead. There is no money to be made in it. ;)
;p~ (i get the hint of sarcasm unless im mistaken)
lol! someone tell microsoft this... i bet someone will get a good laugh out of it.

damn preview, i meant they did not actually admit anything as far as validity of their ip claims. Just history.
So now they admit that they had no idea about the validity of their own claims. Why is this not surpising?

Lets pretend that your private key isn't stored on the local computer, then lets pretend you are away on a trip w/ your laptop.
Lets now pretend that this scheme will work w/o internet access to that server with your private key. Hey i know...lets not.
