The Universal Translator is tuned specifically for the sounds put out by standard humanoid lifeforms. Humpback whales use both much higher and much lower pitched sounds. The universal translator was not designed to translate such things, as would not be able to translate it.
True, but them the new material should dent the diamond, thus providing enough information to at least partially determine the hardness of the new material.
Do you really need the "it's funny-- laugh" tag to see when something is posted as a joke?
Haven't you seen those TBS commercials where they call in and ask if a situation is funny? Thats the average American citizen today... something isn't funny unless they are TOLD they're funny. Now if the person in question isn't Americans, the problem must be spreading. Which is quite sad.
At this point in our economy, MPG has no relevance as far as efficiency, but instead operating costs. It costs up to $3.00/gallon in some parts of the US per gallon of gas.
So far all I've seen Trolltech do is hire on someone to work on X. Where exactly are they going? Wouldn't working on Xgl, something in development for 2 years, something that BOTH desktops could support and enjoy, be in the best interest of everyone?
I was really looking forward to the completion of this project. This is what we all need to accomplish the goal of bringing Linux to the desktop. We need to be able to make a, what we're calling at Plasma, a "designer desktop" that everyone will love and enjoy.
I'm surprised that Trolltech hasn't looked into and started contributing to this. They recently hired someone specifically to work on the enhancement of X and bringing its eye-candy and performance capabilities up to the point where it can compete with things like MacOS X without slowing down horrible.
Python is great for this. It's object oriented, interpreted, has amazing documentation and tutorials readily available, and forces the developer to learn good indentation practices at the start.
This is what I started with, and found it very easy to from there learn Java, C, and C++.
This is actually still a point of debate. Many are worried that such a thing will happen, and confusion will be had over what games are compatible with what system. It doesn't make much sense to have 2 versions of the XBox 360 to support, so I don't think this will happen. I believe that they will do one of two things:
1. Release an upgrade for the original 360 so that people may get HD-DVD technology in their already existing XBox, similar to the way that Nintendo released a memory upgrade for the N64 allowing better graphics. Games supporting or requiring the upgrade will then be marked as such on the package.
2. Not "allow" developers to require the HD-DVD technology. Although this may hold back the quality of the games, it would be a smart choice with the consumer in mind.
Nobody knows exactly what will happen for sure, Microsoft has yet to elaborate.
HD-DVD is a variation of the DVD technology that allows you to pack up to 30GB of data onto a single disk, as opposed to the current limit of 8.4GB. This was invented to allow High Definition DVD content and movies.
You see, with standard DVDs, the resolution of the video is lower than that of the resolution of HiDef TV. DVD standard is 720x480. HiDef is 1920x1080. When playing a non-HiDef video on a HiDef screen, you don't get as good of quality.
What this means for the XBox is that it will be able to be used as a High Definition DVD player for those of us with High Definition screens. Also, it means that game makers will be able to create larger, more complex games, and possibly be able to pre-render graphics at higher quality than the XBox could render on its own. This is only if game makers decide to do this, Microsoft may tell them not to, as to keep compatibility with non-HD Xboxes.
Basically it means nicer graphics for games and videos.
If you need more information, email me at aaron.krill AT gmail.com, and check out wikipedia for more information on the HD-DVD standard and its purposes.
Careful, that may be construed as saying that blacks and hispanics are poorer and less educated. and since i just it could be construed as such, it will.

Eh, it plugs into your nervous system and transmits audio straight to your brain.

In short, yes.
Look, I use it all day and never once have I smelt sulphur or heard the screams of the damned coming from my computer speakers.
You obviously don't play Diablo 2
Well, if they're anything like boxers... chicks will love them.
You have no idea how many girls wear boxers to bed cause they're more comfy.
Oh great. I had FINALLY gotten that horrid commercial out of my head, and here you go reminding me of it. :-p
I'm glad you think wanting an XBox 360 for its sexy processors is dumb.
Well, they do use pigs to filter the blood of patients with liver problems...
I'm gonna buy one. Not for the games, but for the actual hardware inside.
...Is there are reason I got modded flamebait?

If you RTFA, you'll see that another modder got about 230MPG by use of Lithium-Ion battery packs.
But does it run OSX86?
Hopefully it doesnt build up too fast and explode.
Ah. I didn't know exa was being worked on by Trolltech. Thanks :-)
sad, isnt it.

Trolltech, save us!

Saying as im laying down with my laptop, i WOULD expect to see it... in bed.

Cause the company that created it had a) retarded engineers, and b) enough money to push it to the standard.
