Stuff like this just fucking kills me. Retaining the brand!? What about the people responsible for making Sierra the gaming megapower of days long past? Oh right, they're just engineers, easily replaceable. MBAs are the scum of the land.
What does open-source have to do with Real reverse-engineering the FairPlay DRM mechanism for the purposes of making their own Harmony DRM mechanism compatible with it?
Powerwalls, which are typically the size of a conference room wall, allow a group of scientists to study still images or watch a movie, frame by frame. "Researchers can freeze images, pan, zoom, move back and forth in time, and see details too subtle or small to discern on a desktop monitor," says electronics engineer Bob Howe, head of infrastructure and facilities for the Visual Interactive Environment for Weapons Simulation (VIEWS) Program. At the same time, because of the powerwall's sheer size, users can still view the global problem while keeping the details in perspective. Powerwall displays are especially useful for...
KDX is a powerful "BBS"-style (Bulletin Board System) encrypted internet communications system that provides voice chat (Internet Telephone), text chat, messaging, news, file and folder transfer, remote access, trackers and more. It uses strong encryption to protect your communications for security and privacy. It is very useful for groups that need to collaborate on a project via the Internet. It is also very useful for remote administration of a computer. KDX uses a client/server architecture (NOT peer-to-peer).
The software is available for Mac OS 9/X, MS Windows NT/2000/XP. The Linux server is currently in beta, and the client is coming soon.
Max Hoberman, multiplayer lead developer at Bungie Studios, told BBC News Online: "When we made Halo we never realised that the multiplayer element of the game would be so popular.
Now this is, ladies and gentlemen, what I call a silly tit. Who would have guessed? Multiplayer? Popular? And this is supposed to be a spokesman of Bungie, of all companies -- apparently he hasn't noticed how wildly successful their previous multiplayer games were, from Minotaur (with no singleplayer option!) to Marathon to Myth.
Jesus F. Christ, not Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, better known as Woz. In his own words:
My company was CL9 and we built the CORE universal remote control. This was before the simple idea of preprogramming all the codes used by the common companies was done. My device looked at the IR signal and analyzed it and recreated it. It also had to determine if certain codes needed to be emitted more than once to work. My device had 16 user buttons and a few more control buttons. They were all large and finger sized. You could put the CORE into one of 16 keyboards, so you really had 256 total keys to use. Any key could have a sequence of any of the other keys and any IR codes that you read in. So a single key could turn on the TV, then turn on the VCR, then select channel 4, etc. More than that, the 'sequence' attached to a key could access all the control buttons. The lessor used control buttons were covered by a slider to keep things looking simpler. This remote control kept it's own time and could emit IR signals at certain times. You could hit "AT-5-PM-6" (4 buttons total) to execute button 6 at 5 PM. Even the buttons that programmed the main user buttons could be included in a program. Thus button 1 could reprogram button 2, etc. This allowed a simple level of programming without normal program loops. You could program the remote control to skip daylight savings time with a sequence like "AT-2-AM-Set-Hour up" (5 buttons). I was able to create a program that would keep daylight savings time going up and down on the right days forever, including leap years, but it was quite an effort and required a lot of keys to hold current states.
Umm... the Macs don't. The macs use display pdf which can be scaled much like vector graphics that longhorn will include. However Longhorn will do almost all of that on the card (Which macs are starting to do (Quarz Extreme which still does some things in software (CPU)).
Starting to do? Quartz Extreme pipes all 2D GUI graphics through the graphics card, and it's available since Mac OS X 10.2 -- in other words, for more than one-and-a-half fucking years. Any ideas when will Longhorn come out?
You're a Microsoft apologist, aren't you? I thought your kind was extinct by now, especially here.
IANA physicist, so I'm probably missing something here, but I thought that the speed of light was actually a constant. Now, I did RTFA, and it states: The researchers' simulation shows that light pulses can be slowed to less than 10 centimeters per second. What's up?
Also, as for storing light temporarily -- has anyone considered using a "mirror trap", in which the light would bounce around until the trap was opened?

Indeed, it makes it very easy.

Get a Mac with Mac OS X, and use Panic's $12.95 Desktastic. It lets you draw directly on top of any window you want, including the desktop.
I don't remember any in Syndicate, but there definitely was a gunshot detector in the Hong-Kong levels in Deus Ex.
If it crashed, what's happens when you press the wrong mouse button?
Have you actually read "On Lisp" or any of his Lisp articles?
Check out the free Desktop Manager for all your virtual desktop needs. It uses undocumented Apple APIs, so it's very fast and looks great!

So your manager cut the power on your RAID because... he thought there were corrupted files on it...? Does not compute.
Oh the irony. How many pages is Quicksilver, again?
I think they forgot to transplant the face.
Jobs actually wanted to sell it at $777, but Wozniak managed to convince him that it was too much. Source: Apple Confidential, by Owen Linzmayer.
Tell me, Mr. Anderson, what good is a phone call if you are... unable to speak?
So Agent Smith was wrong after all!

Office, hardware-intensive... That's kinda sad, inn'it?
So are they even, um, breaking even? Given what Steve Jobs said about iTMS and iPods...
