Anyone know a bank in the US that still banks in the US? I'll be pulling my savings out of bofa and going somewhere else.
Please elaborate on where that 100 million in savings went also. I'm curious if the bofa board of directors put it all up their nose during a business meeting in costa rica, or if they did something like put up a homeless shelter with it.
I would agree, however VRML is nice in the engineering world where you want to export a solid model of something for a customer to view. They get a model they can rotate and look at which is nice, and it fits right in their web browser. One problem when we tried to implement this years ago was VRML support sucked with a capital K. Maybe it's coming around now, but it will be a day-late-and-a-dollar-short. A good portion of the CAD/CAM/CAE packages out their have implemented their own proprietary export format to share your model with the world. All the world needs to do is download the proprietary format viewer. Second thought, you're right. VRML probably is useless now.
level editors allow for the most fun

I think the most fun games are the ones that have level editors for them. Doom started it all. When I got bored playing the game, being able to whip something up in DEU, and paint on the sprites with DIE was a lot of fun. Being able to use other peoples contributions that had more time that I was also a plus. I *still* am playing ghost recon II with contributed maps, and that game is like 5 years old already. Still lots of fun.

What else would one expect for chissakes - this is a 'giant child's spinning top' we're talking about here, not some mambly-pambly bathtub vortex. Did you expect the fish to simply swim away? We're all doomed.
don't agree with any of it

sounds like the seller was ripping people off. The buyer put this guys personal life out for the world to see, and is now making google-ching off it. That's fucked up. Yeah the seller should have known better, but most people just don't. The buyer is also fucking up the lives of this guys family who didn't have anything to do with the sale, just to get his idea across. Sounds like a form of terrorism to me.

One other point to ponder also - if you *do* have any type of training that could be construed in a lawsuit as a "weapon", you may want to think twice before getting into the melee. Even if you sucked at karate, and only got through a couple ranks. Your ass would most likely be the proverbial grass as far as the court would see it.
The high price of the hardware was another issue with the cost. I never saw the receipt, but some of the sparc 20s we give away my boss said were well over $20k when they were purchased. That's also part of what drove everyone towards DOS and the cheaper pc hardware.
Attractive design holds some merit with the gaming crowd but most however don't want to lug these overdone designs around to lans. Want to sell a good gaming case? Make it small, portable, easy to work with using standard parts, and cooling a big consideration. Even if it looks somewhat bland, it will be a guaranteed sell. They will mod it.
Until they can invent a human that doesn't make mistakes, what Oracle is aiming for is an unrealistic goal. People screw up, so we patch. Mistakes happen, and we patch. Software evolves, and we patch. When a software company has an install base of several zillion, and can't get their act together in terms of reliability, or don't want to, then you have an issue that needs resolving. Patching because of mistakes is part of being human, patching due to apathy and blatant disregard for security is an entirely different matter. Bring forth thy bitchstick.
About 5 years ago, I did a search on google for my boss. He did not have a very unique last name, so all I did was narrow searches down to vicinities he was likely to have lived in. It only took a few minutes. He was convinced it would be very difficult to find him on google becuase of his name. Problem is, anyone looking for you on google, would already know a little bit about you, and that is enough to dig up newspaper articles, jail records, resumes, and all sorts of stuff. I would rather not have my future boss finding me on myspace doing keg stands, or mooning someone with a half-shaved-ass. I do/have done stupid shit just for laughs, just like everyone else. That doesn't mean I use the same judgement in a professional setting. I would rather be interviewed without any pre-conceived notions.
Or unsupposedly? Which is it? You know, I'm already riding around on a half-tank of gasoline that will kill me just as fast as a tank of hydrogen if it were to ignite. I don't think this hydrogen process needs to be this complicated to work. The 'safety' claim is just going to be used to proprietize the technology.
AMD has had the edge for years, there was just a lot of denial and ignorance of it. People stuck with Intel simply because nobody wanted to spend a couple hundred bucks on a processor and end up being the guinea pigs for AMD.

I wouldn't have any moral (or morale) problems with either of those robots. In fact I look forward to the day with glee.

Perfect for carrying around with the PEBKAC mallet!!

That's the jump-jet infantry from Tiberian Sun.

This is different from other versions how then?

Don't know about regeneration, but usually there is heavy scarring.

"evaluated the processor's performance in running several scientific application kernels"
Translation: We compiled 2.4 and 2.6 on it and ran convert on a bunch of TIFF images for a couple days.
"then compared this performance against other processor architectures."
Translation: xp woulnd't activate.
