  1. Re:E-Ink is persistent: RTFA on Digital Books Start A New Chapter · · Score: 1

    it seems the jinke made units now run off AAA batteries and will probably continue to, they aren't as large a screen but the folding book style cover is a nice touch and a nice way to protect the screen

    ok smartass where are you going where you will have time to read 20 books with no access to electricity and yet still have the luxury of hauling 20 or more books with you?

    if this really is their plan they are screwed, Nintendo already having a download service planned for the revolution could make a killing making a more reasonable offer to developers

    My old CD boombox (was purchased some time before 1995, not sure exactly) had horrible amplification circuits for the CD, i found you could get far less distortion if you copied the CD to casette and played the casette.

    they will be able to do the dynamic analysis as soon as they get some venture capital for buying yachts... i mean engineers.

    i am not a materials engineer, but it sounds like the forces involved will not mean good things for the longevity of motors built with this technology.

    don't forget the openoffice PDF export and the PDF Creator virtual printer.

    pdf creator is great when dealing with coputers loaded with different software than the location you need to print at.

    according to the download page Here the source tarball for OOo itself is 230 megabytes, the windows binary is 82 megabytes. i suppose it all depends n the nature of the program.

    it is entorely possible that the bank system will not run any unknown executables, i know of security suites going as far back as windows 95 which would only allow certain applications to be run and from certain disks.

  18. Re:Here's five more lessons from World of Warcraft on Lessons GMs Can Learn from World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    5 is so true, My brother was talking about some piece of gear in WoW as being awesome because it had some HP enhancing buff, which was something along the lines of .05% of his HP. i explained to him that even with ALL of his gear having that buff he would have less than a 10% increase in HP.

    in EQ2 almost all of my gear has either upgraded some stat by 3% or more or a significant increase in DPS, though i will pick up the fractional point improvements if they are free stuff like monster loot

    it would be a great way to keep control of griefers, as they would naturally gravitate to being able to PK with impunity, and thus would not be pulling unexpected shiat like training boss mobs into cities.

    the problem with quantum crypto is that it requires the components to be installed together and securely, if you are doing that you may as well simply use abnormally large symmetric keys.
