You know that OpenGL has the same abilities as DirectX 10 (at least on DirectX 10 compatible hardware) thanks to some extensions added by NVIDIA. These extensions are available on Windows 2000/XP, Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD.
How come OpenGL can do it on those platforms, yet DirectX 10 can only do it on Vista?
I agree completely, the Concurrency stuff in 1.5 is absolutely lovely. I even ported one of the classes (CountDownLatch) back to 1.4 because it is so useful.
How do they access DX10 features in the Source engine on XP?
Use OpenGL? OpenGL has extensions added by NVIDIA to do all the stuff DX10 can do, on any OS you can get their drivers for (Windows 2000/XP, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris).
I have one of these (well, not those exact ones, but something similar) and they are nowhere near bright enough to be a flashlight. It has the output of an LED on a nearly flat battery.
The PvP in Eve is about as far away from the holodeck you could possibly get. You have the chance to lose your ship, some/all of the modules install on the ship (the surviving ones will be dropped in a 'jetcan' next to your ship, so will probably be taken by the person who just killed you). Also if your clone isn't up-to-date you have a chance to lose skill points when/if your capsule (escape pod) gets blown up, which take real time to aquire.
The only thing you get if your killed, is the insurance for your ship, if you insured it and it hasn't run out.
How about let the CT's be able to defuse the bomb when it's just laying on the ground. It would give the T's more of a reason to keep a close eye on team mates.

To be honest, I don't make many posts on /., and I keep forgetting to see if anybody replied to my post :)
that gallon was a US gallon :(
Got you beat, it's about $7.50/gallon (89 pence/litre) for unleaded petrol here in England. 48.35p of that 89p is tax.

I thought newer kernels (since somewhere in 2.5) used sysenter/sysexit on x86?
In the UK they are one of the 4 big mobile phone providers (O2, Vodaphone, T-Mobile and Orange).

Reading their blog, it looks like it'll show up as a mass storage device.
But you'd have the message you sent back in time, therefore you can just send that message again.

I was looking at OpenID the other day, and if you really want, you can run an OpenID server (there's one written in PHP) on your own webserver.

The Nokia E60, E61 and E70 are capable of SIP calls over WiFi.
I'll hopefully be getting mine this week, in the UK.

I got the same memory stick from dabs and recieved it in the same sized box. No one in my office could believe it when it arrived.

Yep, I've used it at work to profile out J2EE application and find some memory leaks in our applet. Very useful product, and definetly recommended.
