This is only true in certain types of supercomputers. The only one we have that will do this is an SGI UV-1000. It surfaces groups of blades as a single OS image. If one goes down, the kernel doesn't like it.
The rest of our supercomputers are clusters and are built so that node deaths don't effect the cluster at large. Someone may need to resubmit a job, that's all. If they are competent, they won't even lose all their progress by using check-pointing.

Diablo III Released

· Score: 1
They have to have the server connection going. How else would they control item drop rates and such? They have to do this because they are going to have a Diablo 3 "Auction House" where you can buy game items with real world cash.
I think this is probably the biggest reason for the constant connection requirement. The rest is just icing for them.
Blizzard is not a company that is known for being dicks about stuff like this.
Congressman Boucher rocks. He actually does a great job of getting things done for everyone. It doesn't hurt that he is all about technology either. He's probably the main force driving broadband adoption in Southwest Virginia (my home).
Some the most recent things he's helped get accomplished are a major fiber optic pipe to Lebanon, VA (it's slowly making it's way to my small town), that pipe has convinced at least two global companies to set up shop in Southwest VA. Northrop Grumman being one and CGI-AMS being the other.
He does such a great job and is liked so much that I don't think he has even had anyone oppose him in the election for the past several years. And if someone has opposed him, he won by such a margin that they might as well have not shown up. (This is me talking, I'm too lazy to look up any stats, so what I just said could be completely wrong. But, he rocks so much, it doesn't matter. Watch out Chuck Norris?)
I'm not sure if you're trying to be technical or what. But seeing as how the cart had Final Fantasy II written on it, I think he's safe calling it that.
I'm also not sure if you made a typo saying it came out for the NES, instead of the SNES.
So maybe you lose at life and need to try again, or maybe you don't.
If I'm thinking right (I'm too lazy to go look at operas website) the portable version of opera still costs. So that could be one reason Nintendo is charging for it.
I too am in the same situation. FTTP/H will be here next summer. Along with the WiMax testbed that's actually taking off nicely, we will be getting fiber! If you would have said this to me 2 years ago, I would have laughed in your face! For a very rural area, we're soon to be rolling in all the broadband we want! Wee!
Has anyone noticed that all >> 4 of the articles on that website have made it to/.? Kinda makes you think. (I'm not 100% sure all of them have and I'm too lazy to check, but I think I've seen them all on/.)
Geez you insensitive clods... You could tell the spyware sites by lack of community, support, help, or contact information. Just a simple glance around the screencaps showed that.
I scored 7 of 8. I missed the e-mule one because I think it's retarded to trust anything p2p.
Meh.
Our small town has been a testbed for WiMax for the past year or so. So far everything seems to be working well and the price hasn't been bad either. 29.99 for standard bandwidth.
So far the only limitation I've seen is ling of sight. But, that should be remedied soon, as the operator is moving his towers to the mountain tops. (Why they didn't do this to begin with, I'll never know.)
Verizon is the one providing the testing and everything. www.verizonavenue.com is the webpage (I *think*)

Sensationalist titles are sensationalist I guess.

I forgot to mention that he worked with Verizon and got a WiMax testbed started in my hometown. :) That was pretty freaking sweet.

Bleh. I modded this flamebait on accident. The mod system needs to have an undo button. :/

Maybe you should watch the video?
Hmm... the RIAA?
