I thought it was a fact that dedicated hardware (properly designed) is ALWAYS faster than software.
I plead ignorance here as I don't know much about RAID but I wonder if the reason software raid (can) be faster is because they have poorly implemented drivers? Or conflicting design with how Linux operators?
If this is in fact not the case would you perhaps point me to further evidence of such cases as I think I would find it very interesting.
Everyone seems to want to host/control their own content. Many of them are offering their content for free just to reserve some level of control. If youtube allows them to cut the cost of hosting their own content AND make a profit while doing it why would anyone not allow youtube to host their content?
As youtube starts to focus on increasing the quality of what they stream we could potentially see a new alternative to cable/sat TV and maybe finally get an à la carte service we so desperately want!
One last thing I wanted to mention is how youtube really is the evolution of public access TV. We've lost a lot of it over the years and even more so when we finally go digital. Why doesn't youtube get government funding for hosting this content?
Finally! Congratulations, AMD, I always preferred your CPUs and GPUs due to their sane price/performance ratio and great features, but now I think you won me for life.
For life? What if they revert back to their old ways in a few years?
Suicide! It is clearly the only option for such an instance.
We're already spending money on this war. Let's spend a little more to ensure that the security we are providing is worth it. I can't see our current tactic of just waiting it out working anytime soon.
Let's bring over a large group of Iraqi people (volunteers of course) to the US. The purpose to give them an education and provide them with the skills they can use to repair Iraq. Also, to give them a sense of what life COULD be like in their country. Once they are ready to work they return to Iraq where they hopefully have a strong desire to repair/better their home lands.
To me this seems like a much better way to stabilize the country than simply wait for the fighting to stop on it's own. Not only that but we have the potential to actually learn from those we educate.
Not to support child molesters but they were children once too.. They are still people and have rights. Once you dismiss their rights there is nothing to stop anyone else from taking yours away on the basis of something as idiotic as "think of the children"
There is a special keyword to use on youtube to get to the porn section. You must not have elite access. Just email them asking for elite access with a hacker resume of sorts and you should be able to gain access. Just keep it on the down low though.
I was very excited when I first heard about it but after doing some research it appeared to be a very limited run. I haven't seen any locally.. Anyone know where I could order one online?
Ah I remember mapping like that in the mud days with coins. Sometimes you'd get an asshole picking up some (or all) of your coins confusing the hell out of you. Othertimes nasty game designers would code in mobs to do just that unless you drop certain items or certain amount. ie only drop odd number of coins in a room.
I agree The Longest Journey is an amazing adventure game. If you didn't know they made a sequel called DreamFall which was okay but not as good as the original. I believe a 3rd is in the works as well.
I've been a Netflix subscribe since early 2000 using a 4disc plan at ~$19 a month. About a year ago I began seeing these upgrade deals when browsing. For just $x.xx you can upgrade to a five disc plan! I forget the exact number but it was under $2.
So I thought great! I'll upgrade right now and did. They never gave me the exact price of my new plan until AFTER I agreed to it. So when I discovered the $2 was only to cover the cost of the partial month upgrade and my new monthly fee was around $30 a month I said screw that and downgraded back to my 4disc plan. Well, the current 4disc plan is like $24 a month and their customer service said it was impossible to go back to my normal $19 price. Instead I was told I'd receive a credit on my bill for 6months to offset my monthly fee to my original $19 amount.
Well, as you can guess I never did get my credit.. I'm sure if I did enough bitching they just might have given me my original $19 plan back..
Truth is I'm lazy and I haven't been really keeping up with 4discs so I downgraded to a 2disc plan. I also kept in mind that they did add value with the streaming service and turn around time has been GREATLY increased since 2000 so I'm not altogether upset with them.
The truth is they're just as sneaky as any other company out there. I'm guessing the real reason they kept profiles is a very smart programmer figured out how to deal with profiles.
We already have this.. It's our eyes.. In court you can be called as a witness to "play back" what you saw. Sadly our eyes are also susceptible to sophisticated attack as well:(
That being said I don't mind cameras and being recorded. My logic is that the more cameras in place to used to catch us doing things that are technically illegal but really shouldn't be is the first step to getting more people involved in overturning such goofy laws.
Pot smoking seems to be a popular example for this. While technically illegal it really shouldn't be.

(I just love it when my browser runs unmanaged code full of unverified branch statements!)
Bah! Where's your sense of adventure?!?

It's closer than you think.
You just fixed the economy by creating a fun game that creates tons of jobs!
Yeah but it all evens out because we never pay out debts anyway.
What happened on 11/4/08?

Rock Band already has Fortunate Son by CCR as a download.
Criminals will no longer break into a home and leave with nothing because there isn't anything worth stealing!

That will never work. What happens when you want to change the channel but can't see the TV? IR only works with line of sight.
They released a new album recently.
Don't worry about it. Coconuts are set to go digital next year so it won't be a problem.

According to their website it cleans 60' in 10 minutes, so that seems like a lot faster & less work, if you have a large roof.
Many smart phones/mp3 players support removable media via microSD cards.

I was a rascal. I have reformed.
I think what you really mean is you ran out of clever ideas.
