That is the most baffling thing about it, she loves sitting to watch other people play. I've spent hours playing CS with her watching and screaming in my ear. I'm sure Doom 3 will go much the same.
A friend of mine does not like to play most shooter style games, she will watch them but not play, this is ever since Quake 1 or so. The reason is that she does not like to die, even in a video game she knows isn't real.
I could see it possible that as graphics get better and better, more and more people feeling like this and games starting to lose money.
I've been using here@there.com for 6 or 7 years now, I hope that there isn't anybody with this address, I can't imagine the amount of spam this address gets.
If your keyboard sucks maybe you should pay more than $5 for it, I spent $140 on a wireless keyboard mouse combo about 4 years ago and it is still in excellent condition.
The other day a friend of mine and I were talking after I had watched The Boondock Saints, and we decided that the problem of spammers could easily be solved if we went after them with the same attitude as taken by the main characters in that movie.
Please let the enrollment drop, I am in that field and the people that will drop out of it are most likely to be the ones who sit in the back of class don't pay any attention and then ask the question that was just answered. Please don't make this to be a bad thing, as it isn't, the bad thing may be over where you have people who don't like the field entering it because they think they can make good money doing it.
I've spent the last 2 weeks dealing with a company that does that. The only problem were having with their software is the area that controls the amonia bottle:P
ps WOW nobody got the Fr1st Psot!!! chalk one up for the good guys.
I do think it should be a felony. Where I live, Alberta, our laws don't allow you to have one drink there is no tolerance, if you are caught your license is taken away and you can't drive for over a year no matter what. There are large fines and they try as hard as possbile to destroy your life. Everyone knows how dangerous drinking and driving is, you can not blame it on forgetting, if you have alcohol DO NOT DRIVE.
I am currently 3/4 done a CE diploma, yes diploma, from a well recognized Technical Institution. I am currently doing a work term with a lab at the local University, from my experience and taking the time to chat with my boss, in 3 terms I have more practical knowledge than the people in the building who have Masters degrees in CE. I also understand the theory of everything very well as well, which I can not say for most of my class mates. The building where the lab is, is the Engineering building at the University.
This is the most insightful thing I have read on slashdot in a long time. The NanoTech field is so still new that it is not a requirment to have a PhD. What is a requirement is to not be bound to standard thinking!!!
Well there are a couple ways to sit in one place, one friend of mine swore by the don't eat or drink anything method. Another friend of mine told me that they used a catheter. I don't know but either way I still couldn't sit in the same place for more than a couple hours.
I think it would be better now to open up the drive carefully place some magnesium strips and an igniter. Set it up so that if the drive is opened or accessed improperly then Uh Oh there goes the igniter!!! Then no one could make a physical copy of the drive and only you could access the data.
Before doing anything else they would make image copies of the drives, but there are some tricks too be done with software that will allow you to do interesting stuff with data on drives. One such trick I head of as a kid, was to have some sort of secret security device that if not activated your hard drive was completely screwed over no chance of recovery. Never saw it in action couldn't afford the extra hard drive as a kid.
When I first started playing UT, I found the Adaptive AI setting, I turned Bot AI to lowest, then played for 30 minutes, I took a look at the AI again and it was GodLike.
I agree with you completely the processor would not have to be faster at all, unfortunately I posted first thing in the morning as I was getting ready for school, and hadn't finished my pot of coffee yet. Having a bunch of smaller slower processors, that possibly generated a lot less heat, and then connecting them together in some sort of cluster would be much more efficient than having one processor.
If computers were to be built using this technique, there would need to be a complete re-working of all the components, as there would probably be new and more efficient methods of hooking all the hardware together, than the current methods. One thing that it might be able to create, is a dynamic self growing array of memory, knowing when a bigger array is needed, it could create more.
Just another thought on my part

What were the winter coats for, we never used anything other than the pellet guns.

Albertan's are not american. Silly Easterners thinking just because we are not exactly the same as them we must be american
Poutine... ahhhh mmmm.... the poutine!
The reason they don't have to give our names away is because we already pay for the music, whether we download it or not.
Actually in Canada it is completely legal to download music, this has been said many times before here.

Because if there are standards everyone follows we don't have a VHS vs. BETA fight again where half the people get screwed big time.

I do work in a clean room, class 5 is our usual but sometimes a bit lower. I never hear the noise, it is actually nice and quited inside our Fab.

What you don't see in the pictures is the placard that says, in 100 different languages, octal, hex, and binary is "Please play with my Joystick!!!"

Or maybe we just have a set of filters, and if you are able to control the filters you could do anything you want. :D
