The graphics don't look as great as those screenshots we saw a year ago. The game play hasn't changed that much. So I can shoot through that shelf. Can I push it over to help stall the bad guys while I run backwards? Can I spill the contents of those exploding barrels so that the bad guys might slip and fall? Doesn't seem that way from the video. The characters' lips still aren't in sync with the words they're speaking.
I think a lot of that is pretty unfair. This is a video and is thus not up to par with the actual graphics of the game. The speaking might also be a result of the video encoding.
The part about pushing over shelves and making the baddies slip is also unfair. No game that I know of has those a features. To use the inevitable car analogy that I so detest, does the newest Porche suck because it doesn't fly?
For me the main ones are response time and color quality. There are pleanty of 15" lcds out for $300 but the response time will be 20 ms or worse and the color is oftwn washed out lookign.
I'd love to have an LCD that I could use for gaming. I'd want one with at 1600x1200 resolution with a response time of at least 12ms. That will put me around $1000 which is a heck of a lot more then I want to pay for a monitor.
IMHO it seems that "idylic hunter-gatherer lifestyle" isn't that idylic.
Actually, it is. I remember this point distinctly from an Anthropology course I had several years ago. There is evidence that humans in the "hunter-gatherer lifestyle" were healthier and lived longer. The reason being that they had a much more diverse diet.
I guess it isn't really that important and I'm not sure if it is provable. It's interesting none-the-less.
It doesn't mention that MIME has a header field that specifies encoding (Content-Encoding) and that Base64 is one choice in a handful of possible encodings to use. Base64 is probably your best bet for getting an attachment to its destination today, even though it grows the data (byte-wise) by 33% for transport.
I've used base64 in coding a simple stmp client and I am fairly certain that I exceeded this limit in testing. What I am wondering is if this is a server level restriction. I'll look at the link later. Perhaps that will anser my question
If that's what you want, you're better off getting a VIA EPIA Mini-ITX system. 1GHz is plenty of speed, there are open source drivers for everything, it runs on less than 10W of power, and you can run it fanless.
I have been looking for a while now for online retailers of VIA processor based mini-itx systems to use as a file server. Do you have suggestions on where to purchase them.
Computers use powers of two for every kind of calculation.
Except when they don't.
I've seen base 3, 10, 40, 100, 256.
I don't think the grandparents post is incorrect for modern computers. Unless they use something other then the standard 2-way transistor, then that is a valid statement.
What they don't explain, and what I had to explain repeatedly, is that you actually have a limit for attachments of 7.5MB, because of Base64 encoding for MIME.
I have also read/. from the Children's Museum in Indianapolis (great place to go if you have Kids) from the Library (not very strange), and at the Mall (a few years ago, the Jefferson Mall in Louisville, KY had these internet terminals set up to advertise someones DSL service).
If they were in Jefferson mall, they probably got stolen. I have to admit that Jefferson Mall is a lot nicer then it used to be.
First, there's cost. Getting a payload to geosynchronous orbit will cost you about $5,000 to $10,000 a pound. That's NOT the sun. And you CAN'T just 'push it toward the sun' and expect it to get there. Remember, we're orbiting the sun at a pretty good clip. The energy required to cancel that velocity and drop a payload into the sun is something like 18 times what's required to put it in Earth orbit.
Well who says anything about dropping the payload? The Sun's pretty hot. I don't think getting close enough to think about dropping a payload would even be an option. Why not do a single use craft? The NASA folks should be able to get it close enough so that the Sun's gravity will bring it on in.
We started down this slippery slope long ago when lawyers decided a corporation was an "entity" much like a human being, only without a natural lifespan, a brain, or a moral sense.
Not a lawyer but I believe the whole corporation as an entity thing is there to protect consumers. If it wasn't an entity I don't think it could be sued.
1.) one could say that apple 'reverse engineered' BSD to hack in the entire OSX interface. so screw apple if they have a complaint about someone else building off their work.
I don't think one could say that. Darwin is their own implementation of BSD and it is open source.
On the other hand, XML could be used to implement an Object-Oriented language, and I am 100% sure that you could write a Schema to validate this language.
Isn't there such a language out there? I seem to remember hearing about one. It stuck out because of the whole LISPish "Data=Code" construct.

It's a technicality that you use to make not feel guilty for doing something that is both illegal and immoral.
Regclean works wonders. It's incredible how much a few messed up registry keys can bog your system down.

But where would slashdot be without gross exageration?
Does anyone know of a good non-via chipset for Athlon64?
Well nvidia has the nforce3s. I haven't read anything about them but if the nforce2s are are any indication, I think it's a little safer bet then via

I think the name game is more closely related to the original Napster vs the current Napster then the Claria/Gator bs.
Well your post and a few others above have pretty much convinced me to give zsh a shot. I just have always used bash because it's the default.
Well where I went they didnt for long enough that java was still 1.2.x. Of course now that I have graduated, they got a bunch of brand new G5s.
So-called "intelligent design" is not challenging, nor is it a scientific theory (it lacks the feature of falsifiability).
Couldn't the same be said of evolution?

Seriously. Slashot is one of the largest spreaders of FUD out there.

It is arguable whether 1GB is 10^9 or 2^30 bytes, however, the strictest and most current definition of 1 GB is 10^9 bytes.
I believe that that 2^30 number is used for storage and the 10^9 number is used for bandwidth. That's the way I have always uderstood it at least/

Why is this? I wasn't aware of it.
Well I was reading this thread and taking it pretty lightly since it probably won't happen.
You raise an excellent point. Why spend millions of dollars on "eye candy" when there is so much more that NEEDS to be done with automobiles.
Thanks for a most insightful comment.

The guys that surf them are pretty experienced surfers.
Possibly. They are pretty stupid in my book though.
