I have a 500 watt antec phantom in my newest computer, the thing is silent. It does have a fan in the case that the PSU does get too hot, it can cool it off. I have played some pretty high end games, done some 3d rendering and what not, still haven't had the fan turn on, and the PSU hasn't gotten hot. It is nice to know that it's there though.
I don't think I would ever buy a powersupply that didn't function like this, as I due value the quiet. I hope they continue to improve on this technology to provide even more powerful PSUs than currently available. (And at a lower cost, because I seem to remember this supply costing a bit more than most other 500w PSUs)
"acknowledge [mcall.com] that what he's doing is illegial?" yea... I apologize for that, realized I was being a bit of dick after I hit submit. Wasn't quite myself last night.
Information on these games should be more readily available than it is. They should understand what they are buying before they do so. Many times I have seen parents buying games for the children when in reality they have no ideas what it is that they are purchasing. These people should be shot.
By not using a little intelligence and looking at what they are buying they are causing a large amount of pain for those of us that are old enough/mature enough to play these games.
On the other hand, some things get a little out of hand. Speaking exclusively in the case of GTA:SA, the scene made accessable by the "Hot Coffee Mod" isn't quite as bad as many of the other things in this game.
First off, everything in the game is animated, it is NOT REAL PEOPLE.
Second, which is worse to you? shooting/blowing up cops? or a man having sex with his girlfriend?
It doesn't help that many highschools are canceling their CS programs. I know of two local schools that have done so this year. (Mine being one of them) reason? Budget cuts. Come on Gates, you want to see more interest in CS? Sponsor some schools across the country, paying for their CS programs. (im talking about highschools, because getting interested in something early is important.)
Damn... That was a really great game... its sad that the company went the way it did...
Anyone else find this link http://www.troikagames.com/jobs.htm on there site a little odd?
Shouldnt it be possible to get around this using alternative drivers? (Although you would lose functionality in not knowing when your cartridges are dead) Also, could you get around this by changing your computers time? (Yes I know this is a hassle but...)
Am I the only person out here who tries to get his hands on any piece of computer equipment no matter its age? I would never consider throwing out any of my computer gear. I would not like a fee added on to any computer I buy (if that fee were to be covering recycling) because I will have my computers until they turn themselves in to a pile of slag.
I remember reading somewhere that the new iPods and the Rio Karma have very similar CPUs made by the same company etc. If the Karma can play OGG than theoreticly the ipod (newest) can as well. Then again, this may not have been a reliable source of information, and I can not provide a link.
Thank you wonderful slashdot buddies... Teams have many large files that we have to download today:) (you can only imagine the speed).
The game really isnt anything like tic-tac-toe, more like stack the tetras on the other tetras. You get extra points for getting lines, across, diagonal or verticle. (this part is similar to tic-tac-toe, but it is not the point of the game)

Megapixels are not everything. Cell phone cameras have a sensor, and lense about the size of a corn kernel. This is not good for taking any half way decent pictures.
You would think with the number of times this guys sever has been/.ed he would upgrade alittle bit... Maybe not hosting it at home, springing for a better plan this time of year etc.
Yes but you must take into account that on MOST modern systems, locate is symlinked to slocate so as not to confuse people use to slocate while moving them to the better alternative. (I know it came that way on the many different linux distrobutions I have used.)
(also living in suburban NY) The best part about Nextel is their wonderful sound quality. I mean, when people use that PTT feature in a public place almost everyone can hear the garbage coming through the other end (usually sounds like a burst of static followed by something similar to someone talking with a microphone in his/her mouth.)
There already are cellphones that record video, I believe there are some that also record sound.
Personally I dont like camera phones. I think my phone should be used for communicating, not taking worthless pictures that are (usually) low quality and looking at them on a small screen.
On another note, If this is a 7MP Camera are they actually going to have a decent lens? Using a cheap piece of plastic probably wont cut it...
Whats the big deal with a wireless mouse, esp one without batteries anyway? They get to be a pain in the arse if you have other stuff operating on similar frequencies or other sources of interference (I.E. your at a lan party and someone else has a wireless mouse, or you work in a microwave testing facility:) ) Does the cord really get in the way that badly? (I personally have never had a problem)
The watches do not generate electric power, they have a weight that winds a spring. Mice are not typically moved in only one direction, so you would lose a good bit of energy, also I doubt even if it was moving straight that it would generate enough power for an optical mouse and a transmitter. (Besides the fact that you would still need batteries:) )

I have a proliant named DeathStar running slackware, does that count?
Why is this news? who care what Southpark chose for storage?

D&D is a pen and paper game... does not require an internet connection... we can hog the coffee shop table without free wifi thank you!

Hopefully you mean AbiWord not AmiPro. You couldnt pay me to use AmiPro....

What about Sun Solar Panels?
