  1. Re:My CRT on Are CRTs History? · · Score: 1

    in the campus labs at the local community college, they run some pretty nice 1600x1200 LCD's at 800x600, the only redamtion is they have the nvidia control app available on some of them to switch to a decent resolution

    considering that we have only had the impact of one or two volcanic eruptions since the start of the industrial revoluiton(source= Trashing the Planet: How Science Can Help Us Deal With Acid Rain, Depletion of the Ozone, and the Soviet Threat Among Other Things by Dixy Lee Ray, Louis R. Guzzo) I would say it is VERY arrogant to assume that we are the cause.

    the point of java is not portability, but rather binary compatability, a compiled java app can be run on multiple platforms without being recompiled

    All Nintendo has to do to get my money is make another Super Smash Bro's game, that is all, if the revolution ships with Smash in the drive and the drive glued shut i would still buy it.

    there is a way to fix it on XP Pro so it will not try to auto-reboot, i don't know where i saw it but google will probably find it if you want to look for it.

    you can configure windows to shut down even if one or more applications are not ready, it is in the power options section of the control panel.

  14. correct me if i'm wrong.... on Cell-based Server Blade Demonstrated · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wast the benefit with Cell supposed to be that the programmable DSP's worked somewhat like pixel shaders except useful for all kinds of complex serial data so that operations on serial data could be massively improved, which does not seem to me like it would be a major help in a server, unless it is running a specialized app that just happens to be on a server for data access rather than using the Cell to speed up web servers etc.

  16. Re:But is it fun? on Morpheus is Dead · · Score: 1

    The leveling process was long and grueling, the randomly generated quests were repetitive and usually broken, character classes were severely unbalanced, and the interface was perversely obtuse.

  17. MOD PARENT TROLL on Netscape 8 Breaks IE XML · · Score: 1

    Parent is lying, I have several "unapproved" media player apps on my machine, all of which are large enough that if MS was targeting and nuking competing apps they would have been on the hit list.

  18. Re:a tip on Blank Keyboard · · Score: 1

    so called 'modern' keyboards only exist because they are cheap as hell to make, not even a full sized PCB. a little 2"x3" PCB with an IC on it, a clear plastic film with carbon "wires" printed or sprayed onto it, and a rubber sheed with carbon dots is all that is under the keys. must cost a whole $1.75 to make. in order to type you must apply a constant or even increasing pressure to the key, usually resulting it slamming each key much harder in order to ensure each press registers.

    on older switch keyboards once the initial resistance of the spring is overcome the inertia of the key carries it far enough to register the keypress, resulting in far less strain over time as you type and faster typing. I scored my ancient Dell Keyboard because it was an old lab keyboard and totally filthy, four hours, 30 q-tips and a bottle of rubbing alcohol later I had it fully restored and working perfectly. within a few days i had improved my typing speed by quite a bit and my fingers don't get nearly as tired so i type a lot more.

    I strongly agree on the idea to go 100% nuclear, I think the best way to do it would build a huge number of plants in a nice out of the way area, then make a huge no-fly zone around it enforced with SAM's and F16's (even the F16's would not fly over the plants, but rather patrol a ring around the site so a mechanical malfunction couldn't send a jet into the side of a reactor

    extending that last line about being able to eat, eventually edible food will be the most valuable resource of all, water is easy to make either from component elements or be purifying even the most polluted water, food on the other hand requires non-polluted land in order to be made safe and not taste like crap
