go read google news then, troll.
the 1st comment was an obvious critic to the editor. it's the most hermetic reference i've ever seen. and a two word description in the news body wouldn't have hurt.
If you're fine with weak news, accept weak comments (specialy if you don't get them;)
the submiter makes it sound like the discussion has a bit of smartnes going on. bullshit.
the study is base on a % system. what that means? they've simply choose a total and rate games on a scale. what is the "total"? a game 100% violent. what is a game 100% violent in the mind of the moron... aham, harvard person? full time with violence.
so, he put the "pirate cut little girls trhoat just for the joy of it" in the same level as "characther bumps in the wall" then time people playing the game. while you are just walking, it count as non-violent time. when you cut little girls trhoats/bump into walls, it counts as violent time.
so, pacman has 62% of the game time filled with random concepts of violence.
while a game where the goal is to cut throats, and you can do it only after jumping plataforms for 2h hours, would be 2% violent.
Wich would you get to your kid?...don't have to be a harvard doc to know it. And people still disagree when i say that academic education is overrated!
point 1: if it's really imperative, software should handle something that simple.
point 2: not saying that caps lock isn't useful! caps lock is in a place where you can press it and also press another key. so it IS a waste os "good" space. See how much effort you do pressing CTRL+something, now press capslock+something. it's much easier.
ok, touch tipists will press the OTHER ctrl in my example. but one, screw them, and two, people who use the keyboard+mouse heavily (designers, uml artists, java+eclipse+obnoxius) NEED that reach.
I don't think that i got your last paragraphs... anyway. You three people are just saying that HDTV/dvd using 30fps is just an inadequate technology already?
the lowest reviwed board had doom3 runing at 1600x1200 with all the eye candy maxed out at some 99FPS! anything beyond 25 is a damn waste! WASTE!
the budget card should be one that runs doom3 at 1200x1024 at 25fps.
$300 is the price for the crippled over the top video card the extravaganza you will never need. $500 is for dumb snobs that wana pay double for a dick increase in Ghz.
> What's the point, for instance, of Google saying there are 16,000,000 results for your query when they will only show you the first 700? I think this is even true of their API.
The API work on a subset of the full index.
For example: search for "car" on the site. It shows a total of 1,480,000,000
now fire some python code and search for "car" trhu the api
you will get 1/1000 of the site total... or less! as it's change from request to request.
I had code to get the first 100 results, so i did several searchs, for page 1, 2, 3, etc.
when i turned on the code to show the total after each page, there were always 2 or 3 diferent totals in the batch, changing at every 2 or 3 requests.
obviously, if i requested the same query and same page over and over, i would eventualy get a diferent total for that, and with the diferent total, i'd get also diferent results in the page.
ok, we all know the media quantitize the number of under aged killers that played video games.
What about the big picture? the numbers of under aged kids that weren't used to play video games so often (or at all)?
what is the number of underage criminals that attend to church?

after getting 2gb and having a slot HD: tried to remove it from windows. only that it wouldn't allow you to!
:)
i even tried creating a ram disk and putting the swap there. but aparently i it needed swap before loading the driver. never got it to work
now i'm back to linux. have 1gb of swap. never even got close to touching it!
sometimes i even umount, mkfs, and unzip large files to it so i don't risk fragmenting my main data partition

1. microsoft is spending 3.8bilions in PR and no one knows where it goes.
2. Russian submarine manufacturer also spends bilions in PR that no one knows where it goes.
3. Homeland security says 'patch you submarines'. no, don't buy one without holes, use gum.
let's assume microsseconds delays in packets to transfer data. riiiiiiiiight...
they should market it as a replacement for tcp/ip for real time applications rather then a scriptkiddie wet dream's keyloger.

And putting up a _real video_ webcast they intend to do what exactly? keep it away from human eyes for some more time?
nice one for a software company that wants google cake.
.doc burned to a CD to the OEMs?
have they distributed this in

It's what the eye/mind can perceive. Actualy, 24fps. Search for persistence of vision

> Funny isn't it. I have the feeling what they need to do is rewrite it in ruby. Same performance, but can you imagine the hype they'd get!
that's so 2004.
What they really need is to rewrite it in java on rails. and post a making-of video.

so, if you have 2 sets of "programs" runing side by side, one will fuck up the result of the next?
Are they not-coding DNF on this computer?
will they release the work they have on the console as "open source"?
And more interesting: will SCO sue them for using their IP when they analyse the content?
Fac ut vivas
They are suing people from taking photographs of their shop window!
...morons.
And besides, there are know standards to forbid that

Take it easy. they're public servents.
the gov don't want you getting information off the oficial channels. stick to your tv and leave the internet alone.
