Past 196 i can't tell a difference, and most of my friends would call me an audiophile (but i've never heard audio above 16bit). 256k would be a good one, you shouldn't be able to hear the difference.
I prefer to use OGG, only because it seems that a 64k ogg file sounds like a 128k LAME MP3. At least over Icecast2 and ices2. It sucks having to use MP3 for mp3 players. I wish they would at least give you the option of putting OGG in as replacement(you can uptate the firmware on my model, it can handle mp3, mp3pro, wma now. started as mp3 only)
I would say the most interesting part is the fine print.
Note: We cannot recover lost Authentication Keys - we do not keep your Authentication Key on file and the key cannot be extracted from files on your computer. Registering the game does not include your Authentication Key information, so if you no longer have the key, you will need a replacement.
So... if your key is not recorded or kept on file... how the hell do they know you have used it?
I want to know who's grand idea it was to NOT transmit the data as soon as it is finalized. Same deal with probes. So what if we have to leave an receiver running and deal with comms lag (although anything beyond mars/venus I understand, but LEO?).
Yes, i was thinking of Heavy Water. I didn't think it was made of anything but hydrogen and water, though. Well, i know a lot more now.
Are you in the field, or are you just interested in it(radioactive materials)? I'm facinated by the subject, but I don't have the education down to understand half of it (still going through my first year of college)
I _KNOW_ i saw it somewhere official, though. Not the most current version, it may have been accepted earlier? Maybe my memory doesn't feature ECC and I'm just having a brain cramp.
1 hour of MS Flight Simulator (latest) = 1/2 normal flight hour.
You can use it for up to half of the hours needed for a pilot licence.
Im not sure about the numbers, but i do know that a portion of your flighttime under the M$ simulator counts (well, its pretty frikin realistic if you set it to be)
I think we should expect to see commercial games, first. If everything was to be open-source, what would be the carrot for existing dev houses and publishers?
When it gets to the point where you cannot connect to the net without a trusted computer, what is to stop us (geeks, hackers, ect.) from forming our own little patchwork TC-less "internet"?

Um... off topic?
WTF, at least moderate with the right moderation!
Read the title of the submission! How can this be off topic?
It's a lot easier to escape from cold then from heat.
:)
You can bundle up, use a heater, ect.
Can you strip down? Usually not. Nor can you knock out the wall to get some ventalation
Hey asshole. Ever think it may be HIS FUCKING SITE HE'S ADVERTISING?
I see nothing wrong with advertising you're own website/buisiness.
If anyone cares, we have a team Slashdot.

2H2O is much better. Not water, i think it's called Deuterium.
They don't always use Water in reactors. I thought they used 2H2O, as it was very inert, and absorbed radiation readily.
If that is so, and they use that, half of what you suggest cannot be done with it.
I stand corrected.

Have you ever played Vendetta?
I was in the beta test (with so many other hundreds), and aside from the occasional bugs/imbalances that game is freaking awsome!
The graphics are awsome at higher settings as well.

Companies have to make money somehow.
Ive had a couple drive-bys in firefox. Malicous Java scripts, no signing needed.
Fortunatly enough my AV caught them and kept them from spreading, but firefox died and had to be restarted.
I remember after digging around in the MMC seeing somewhere that Verisign is not only trusted by IE, but XP itself!
There's a copy of their public certificate on your machine - that's how IE can tell if it really was Verisign that signed it.
When it gets to the point where you cannot connect to the net without a trusted computer, what is to stop us (geeks, hackers, ect.) from forming our own little patchwork TC-less "internet"?
And when your laptop has over twice the CPU and memory as your desktop, running dedicated servers on it makes the games play MUCH better...
Funny, using POP and SMTP (you can, and it works VERY well. Uses SSL and TLS) you don't get any adds. I wonder how long that will keep up.
Well, they could lay everyone off. That wouldn't be very rewarding.
Don't forget the big link on the side of the page: "If you own copywrited material that is hosted on this site and would like it removed..."
It's not the website's fault the MPAA/RIAA didn't use it.
What is going to happen to SCO now? Do you think IBM will countersue the hell out of them?
What would be REALLY funny is if IBM goes all hostile takover on their asses and buys their codebase. Then open-sources it.
It was added in SP2. I remember reading it in the release notes.
Before, following the add-remove programs procedure would only remove shortcuts, it wouldn't even take it out of the RUN section of the registry.
Compatibility/fallback?
