I feel for you, I still have a 9000. Games look ok but I can't play them if I see some good screenshots, just put them on ice for when I get a better card.
I also saw an option for HDR in Serious Sam 2, which has been out for some time now. I don't have the graphics card to see if it's the same thing, however.

Space Tourism?

So the idea of taxing the rich to fund NASA, freeing up more resources for aid work and research into better crops, is a bad idea?
FYI, everyone in usually has enough to eat - the poorest countries in the world have an agrarian economy, just no money to buy expensive western food when the droughts come.
No, the loophole is that if they don't distribute, they don't need to release. So what you do is run your code on servers that you own, and rent "server time" instead of selling the program. It's a well-known problem.
You're missing the point. They are annoyed at the loophole in the GPL that allows other companies to use/modify the source code, AND profit from doing so, without releasing the changes. At all.
With all due respect, A country with 60 million people isn't an island. They did basically shut down and take over quite a lot of the surrounding area, and borrow vast quantities of our police for no apparent reason, but you make it sound like they held the G8 on a tiny pacific island with no airport, and didn't tell anyone where they were going.
fwiw, I totally agree. I just object on the principle that you would if I called florida a peninsula:)
I went down that path once, but it was just crap taking them on a jiggly bumpy plane ride 6 times a year, I RMA'd twice, then just assembled a fileserver and did without during the christmas and easter breaks.
As a student who flies home at the start and end of every term, the prospect of buying an extra seat for my computer or trusting it to the postal service 6 times a year does not appeal to me. The 60GB hard drive in my laptop is woefully inadequate to the point where I keep a headless fileserver in both places.
Having read the article, I understand it. Windows messenger is a feature-poor MSN client that comes with windows. most, if not all, the typical MSN users I know (14 year old cousins) have installed MSN 7, for things like webcam support.
However, Windows Messenger keeps running in the background and signing them out of MSN Messenger, and this used to drive them crazy, which by extension meant it'd drive me crazy because I'm the computer guy. Even deleting all the Windows Messenger files didn't help. This article is a lifeline.
Let us not forget that GPS can be turned off at the push of a button, somewhere inside the US millitary machine - it's part of the british wartime contingency plans that we fall back to other systems, just in case.

THe whole point of python is to raise and catch exeptions instead of fucking about trying to make it all nice. So the parseing program might be called by
ip = getuserinput() try: DoShitFromGrandparent() except NotAnIPAddress:
print "Not an IP address, dumbass" except NotValidQuad:
blah blah etc.
You're thinking of helium-3, which weighs in at more than a billion dollars a ton. Tritium is readily produced in nuclear reactors and probably costs less given that it's used in glow-in-the-dark keyrings.

Menzes was a suspected criminal, he got shot in the head 7 times. That's what we do to suspected criminals in the UK.

You seem to have forgotten to read 1) the slashdot article text 2) everyone elses posts. This is a JOKE, as seen by the monty python foot.
