Because people generally won't go to see movies without an actor they already know in it.
I prefer movies with unknown actors because maybe I get to see new hot chicks instead of same old dried out over payed ladies. Seriously I think actors should at least stick to one genre, seeing Schwarzenegger in that Christmas [jingle all the way] movie was just horrible.
Is it? When I hear "Commodore" I think "ancient computer system
yes, i most certainly do.
I really wonder if people will be willing to think of new Commodore-branded gadgets as "new" or if they'll instead be expecting them to be old "retro" computers like those joysticks companies are selling that come pre-loaded with a bunch of old games
There is a difference between thinking and knowing. For example, if i would see a Commodore MP3 player, things like old/retro/failed go through my mind but i know it's "new" because... it's an MP3 player. Maybe I would buy it, can't go much wrong with a MP3 player. I would probably make fun of it like "look I got a commodore MP3 player, it has 64KB storage."
That term is of course not true either, and only an assumption that you have unlimited money to spend on software and media so everything you've got by piracy, you'd otherwise have paid for if piracy wasn't possible. In other words a quite stupid assumption.
Yes and everyone who cannot afford a Ferrari should get one for free, right?
Too bad such system will never come about. I am tired when I get home from but after a few hours I feel energized enough to work on some private projects or go out. There is a tendency to go on until like 3am but next day is horrible since I have to get up at 7. I tried shortening sleep but that doesn't work, even with 1 hour less I feel terrible during the day. There was a time I went to sleep whenever I felt the need for and woke up without an alarm clock, this resulted in 26-hour days. The only problem was that sometimes I had to miss a party because it started at the same time I was about to go down.
So you are drinking only like 3 or 4 cups a day? If the coffee here would be undrinkable then the only solution for me would be to install my own coffee maker or carry 3 thermobottles to work.
But he send the message unintentionly.
There is a difference between (1) someone entering your house and telling you that your front door lock is broken and (2) someone that sneaks in and while secretly putting stuff in your basement wakes you up. Still I wouldn't trust the first person, why would anyone test front door locks?
In a multitasking environment, if a process flags a semaphore, and crashes before releasing, how do you get rid of it? You reboot. This is the joy of the of embedding your brower as a root level service
So.. normal processes do not give problems with locked semaphores? Explorer seems to me just a normal process: when it screws up (e.g locked taskbar), I shut it down with taskmanager and restart it. Actualy, my win2k never crashed once (excluding boot problems).
Inhabitting other planets has long been a dream of, among other groups, NASA, but this has always been a "wouldn't it be cool" kind of thing. This guy is saying that it's more along the lines of "If we don't, we will go extinct."
But no one cares we'll go extinct because when it happens it's the problem of our descendants. The coolness is the greatest motivator so far and it's wearing off because of the great distances, slow travel speeds, costs etc... lot's of uncool stuf.
Even a real 3d display doesn't cut it. Do you realy want to twist your head just to look around your spreadsheet? Or standup to take a look from above? Or even worse: walk around it. Most certainly not.
The problem here is that our eyes are realy 2D sensors. The stereoscopic effect gives an estimation of the distance but all the information is still projected on a 2D plane. and the brain translates this to 3D information. You don't know what's behind an object until you walked around it. When you walked all around it, the brain has deduced all the 3D information from the 2D sensors (eyes) All visual information we recieve is 2D unless objects are half transparent. It doesn't make sense to use an 3D display unless we plug it directly into the brain.
Holy crap! A brand spanking new machine is faster than a machine made in the late 90s! Stop the presses!.
You are missing the point:
-Amiga became obsolete when PC's got 3d cards.
-SGI became obsolete when PC's got faster processors and decent software.
If you still don't get it, i will spell it out for you: when will humans become obsolete and replaced by PCs?
I'll give up my $1000 Onyx as soon as you can show me a PeeCee that can drive 6 monitors at 1024x768 and 60FPS. patience is only what it takes

What's this? Wizzard magic? Oh noooo! Don't cast a spell on me.
what exactly are you trying to say?
It's even worse, how do you know that the satellite is 6 ton?
One could argue if the buy of the Commodore brand is an advancement or a step back.
yes, i most certainly do.

i wouldn't call this tech stuff:
Popular Tech Stuff 2004
1. wallpaper
2. kazaa
3. mp3
4. spybot
5. linux
read a book?
What about Sealand? Looks like server heaven to me.
you're correct. sorry, my mistake.
Yes and everyone who cannot afford a Ferrari should get one for free, right?
I think they go for the free sites because that's where presumable the most downloads come from.
wait till they come knocking on your door, then i'll tell you the path
that's why i run around naked, it's better for me.

That's seems awfully long.

patience is only what it takes
wouldn't this be offset by the reduction in force created as it moved with the less weight
The second post is also taking into account the gravity, which counteracts the upwards force (the "offset")
that is when the other effects are ignored.
:)
Fg= mG
Fc= mv^2/r
since Fc and force of gravity should be in balance (orbit):
mG=mv^/r => r=mv^2/mG => r=v^2/G
As you see, r is independent of mass (i could be wrong
hmm lets see:
Fc= m*v^2 / r
so less mass would mean less centripetal force, so the station would indeed lower a bit.
