No. I forget if Einstein himself proved that entanglement can't be used for communication or if it was proved later on. Take a look at the Wikipedia entry on it. The reasons why confused the hell out of me, but you'll probably have better luck. As I remember it had something to with causality and never knowing whether you're receiving a message or gibberish quantum results, and the whole once you measure it, you've changed it and therefore also the other person's particle and then they can't even send the message anyway. See? I told you I was confused.
argument against Prey. Online deathmatch, but no split-screen. How does that work? Seriously now, you can't possibly tell me that it's easier to develop a networked 3-d environment rather than
2-4 viewports on one screen. This rather ticked me off.
I'd rather look at it as if all the angles are correct. He did it because Richard Nixon gave him the presidency. He did it to clean up the mess for the Republican party. He did it to prevent tax dollars on useless trials. No matter what he did it for, they all have pretty much the same result.
And as for Nixon? Who cares. The President is not called the most powerful person on Earth for no reason. I wouldn't be suprised if the guy who blew the whistle and everybody after that associated with the "crime" didn't mysteriously unexist.
Don't you mean the supervisor will get the "axe"? If all the supervisors get some ass when they do something stupid... well... I want to be a supervisor.
What if he just argued that he's a cover band? I think that just about covers it (pun unintended). Of course, any replies to this is someone telling me I'm wrong, so perhaps it does not.
That's why he's "Secretary General" of the "Supreme Council". He makes sure things are done right with the procedures laid out by the Egyptian government.
Dr. Zahi Hawass is just so damn cool. And he has the coolest title too (Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities). I strongly recommend checking out his website (broken English warning here).
With this integration, does that mean a standard for 3-d? No more Nvidia/ATI drivers. The OSDEV guys would love this if it came to that. But how would this integration work? A co-processor space like MIPS? If so, does that mean that graphics calculations have somewhat been moved back to the CPU? And what about the actual workings itself, I'm guessing the actual registers would still be memory mapped in someway (or I/O ports for x86, whatever).
I'm thinking way too much. It did alleviate boredom for about a minute though...
I've yet to find an extension for this, so if there is one, please let me know.
It's all too often when I middle-click a link to open in a new tab, only to get the tab being "Untitled" and the URL starts with "javascript:". Is it too much to ask that Firefox detect a javascript link and prevent it from opening in a new tab (or window, but usually I catch those), and merely run the javascript?
"Why Microsoft Can't Compete With iTunes".. "about the differences between the two companies"
Last time I checked iTunes was a product, not a company. Unless Apple has spun off a company to deal with just iTunes and it's online store, the correct phrase would be "Why Zune Can't Compete With iTunes."
People bash Microsoft, but if there wasn't so much DRM built into recent products (and there used to be not so much. I for one LOVED Win98. And if it were possible, yes, physically.), Microsoft would merely have the best product. Having the best product is not a monopoly.
I'm going to write a song in the style of the Clash called "Waiting for the Mod-down."
From Microsoft's explanation, "To communicate with the driver, applications issue I/O requests to the driver's device through the Win32 API." That doesn't specify how this supposéd user mode "driver" does any I/O if it can't access the hardware. And if it can't access the hardware, that just makes it kinda like a DLL that abstracts WinAPI instead of hardware. If it posts some kind of request with the kernel, the kernel doesn't have anyway of knowing really what's up, unless it checks requested ports with other driver operations currently underway or something. Long story short, I'm still confused.
Until I clicked comments and saw the parent post, I could not remember what Eudora is (I created both the discussion and story tabs in the background). Someone should mod up the parent as informative, since, unlike the Slashdot summary of the story, it says what Eudora is. The writer of the/. story should have added ", the mail client," to the beginning so that I can know whether I care or not before opening the actual news article.
That makes much more sense. Thank you for the clarification (and to the other guy who made the same kernel-mode distinction in reply to my post).
What's the difference between a kernel-mode and usermode driver? I driver needs access to IO instructions, so is Windows using more than just RPL 0 and 3? perhaps giving level 1 in/out instruction priviledges?
So this means if one does any development that requires writing any kind of driver for Windows, they have to pay Microsoft? I don't think this is going to go over well (if the previous comments are any hint, it isn't). This kills any small company that sells software that needs, say, a network driver for VPN (Hamachi and others). Or even video game developers, although I wouldn't think SN Systems, Nintendo, or Sony would care much if they had to play $500 to Microsoft to get their development setups to run on Vista. This is... just.. just... crazy, sure we might end up with malicious software, but... Ok, this just goes too far, it's not even DRM, it's just R, for Ridiculous.
I can understand why that would turn you off if you're good at FPSs; I suck at them, but what ticked me off about Prey is that it has no split screen death match (online only). If I had known that, I wouldn't have bought it.
You have a good point there. I bought Prey before finding out it doesn't have split screen death match; it's multiplayer is online only. Wouldn't it be easier to write a split screen death match than deal with networking code et al?
This confuses me greatly. Especially in iTunes, if you set it to shuffle, then play a song, let it go to the next song and play it. Go back to the end of the first song you played, let it go to the next, and it will be the same sequence. iTunes mostly (always?) runs on computers that are almost certainly going to have a clock and a time() function linked in. On an iPod, it's perhaps more excusable; I don't remember ever setting a time on mine.

This part of it I don't understand. I can understand being strapped to it, but why should the human have to support it? Why not have "_|"-shaped (excuse the ASCII-art excursion) bars under the arms and up over the chest/shoulder area with the human ON the device (like a flying Segway, just not quite so white and nerdy). This probably changes the whole concept, but I'd rather get into what I described rather than strap a rocket to my back. Strapping a rocket to one's back seems rather ill-advised in a rather distinctly "Acme" fashion...
That'd be Zango. Anyway, why wouldn't they release malware through myspace? It's userbase is huge. From the point of view of the mal..ware..ist(?), it's the ultimate distribution medium.

does this mean ATI will be opening up its GPU programming specs, or merely what is being stated (that graphics chip and CPU will share a die) ?
What if he just argued that he's a cover band?

I'm a programmer myself, and I'd rather write split screen than a networked multiplayer.
