as a result of the CPU running well over 40 percent faster than a real SNES. These are little details, but if you have an eye for accuracy, they can be maddening.
SNES CPU frequency is 3.58MHz,
40% faster than that is 5.01MHz
There's the problem! He's using CPU's from the late 1970's to emulate a console from the early 1990's!
No, but much harder and noisier to penetrate than the best you can do with 10.7 Client and Server.
Ah, so... according to your research, if you already have the admin pw and physical access, infiltrating the Mac network would be easier than infiltrating the dream Windows system you envision without having the admin pw or physical access. Truly outstanding and brilliant work.
Our research has shown that it is currently impossible to secure a network using OS X services.
I think you mean to say that it is impossible to secure a Mac network using Active-Directory services.
but in theory you can build a new Windows... Active Directory...
Yes, but in practice, you are contradicting yourself. You're saying Macs can't be secured through AD services because of AD exploits... but Windows can be regardless of AD exploits? Show me this secure Windows network and I'll show you a unicorn that shits glitter.
Seems to me that increasing that 8 seconds of recon should be relatively academic. How about adding a little parachute that could increase hang time immensely? Also, perhaps adding a gps transmitter would allow for reuse.
Yes, because if you're not perfect at what you do, you do not deserve to live (slashdot web developers, we're looking at you). --- ok, sarcasm. Oh, I hate autotune as well, but we'd be worse off without the likes of Lou Reed or Jay Mascis. As it is for all occupations, being any good at it, in this example, being able to sing, has nothing to do with being a success. In fact, your band can have a crappy songwriter, crappy talentless singer, and poser chord-butchering guitar player (and most likely does), but so long as the bassist and drummer are world class, you have a decent chance. It sucks that drummers are assholes, but the fact is with the best singer in the world, and best guitar player in the world, performing the best song in the world, with a shitty bassist and awful drummer, you're going nowhere. Ever.
Actually, it was sarcasm. Show me any malware that can survive a quick format, please. I get a lil annoyed at so called Windows experts that say and do things without thinking, using rhetoric so the end user thinks they must be 1337. Its simply dishonest when a tech acts like they did a lot of work and says things like "yeah, I scanned for this and I scanned for that, defragged and optimized for you, this system is clean, you're all set," and its clear they have no idea what they just did, and simply do not know (and no one in the universe could) whether a system is clean or not. That's one of the major issues with Windows... you just never know. Its why reinstall, as much as a pain as it is, is so appealing when it really matters.
hmm... I wonder why your sarcasm doesn't work as well against the dangers of the nuclear industry? (Fukushima radiation release reports were light by half? meh. Flooded Nebraska power plant? Nothing to worry about. Los Alamos on fire? Its fine, man up. Radiation is good for you).
I have difficulting believing a car lover could be satisfied with anything less than internal combustion. Make sure that's what you want to do... I can think of neater things to do with power, like making the entire home wireless.
the prices are vastly different, that's not an issue for me
Ah... then what you want is to not worry so much about efficiency and hurting the climate (or offset it somehow... maybe create green legislation/regulation for giant container ships) and get yourself a classic that you really like... fix it up... and settle into the maintenance cycle. Pretty much anything built before 1978 is computer-less... and even the ones in cars built in the 1980's won't have an internet connection. And considering nearly every new car is a stylistic catastrophe, your risk of being laughed at will diminish considerably.
if you want to reduce the need for power plants, you're talking about reducing demand, and the only way to do that through the grid is to turn people's stuff off whether they like it or not.
That would only increase demand. One way to reduce demand for power, and it works well for anything but is not popular, is to tax the living hell out of energy usage that goes beyond some acceptable and reasonable daily allotment. This way energy hogs would subsidize the energy cost for those that conserve.
I stand by my previous statement. You never worked in IT on any meaningful level. If you did, that kind of decision would be career-ending in most cases.
Ha! idk what meaning there is to it, or what "level" of IT would impress you (who the fuck talks that way?), but its entirely obvious you have no clue whatsoever... just another basement windows fanboi deluded into believing windows isn't broken, pathetically attempting to trash-talk to overcompensate for having no dick and no meaningful knowledge of computer systems beyond your sweet sweet gaming rig. So, when do you get your driver's license, bitch?
Have you never heard of virtual computing? That's what I was getting at... and I stand firmly on this point: there is no good reason to run Windows on bare iron, except for games. This has been well established for several years. Windows sucks. Virtualizing Windows mitigates the suckiness. That is all.
The original AppleTV used wifi syncing. iPod/iPhone wireless syncing has been anticipated for years. If this developer had anything whatsoever to offer, Apple would hire him.

hmm... ya caught that but didn't cathch this?

Try paying for software. If you want to rob developers, just break into their houses like honest thieves.

This DARPA project is a lot like the old Dyna-Soar
One might even call it... Dyna-Soar Jr.
I was thinking the same thing, and looking forward to reading good thread on what the natural substance they were using was... :/

There is no tuple. There is only NUL.
riiight... and just how did all that sand get to the bottom of the ocean?

or all other performance (net, disk, etc) also began to suck ass
But what if the installation was already over 6 months old? How would you differentiate this alleged performance degredation from rot?
The only long term solution is to infect the infected with something that low level formats their HDD.
That will stop the problem.
Yeah, because infections totally can persist if you just do a quick format. Low level format is the way to go, especially if you charge by the hour.
Just take our word for it that this is safe.

lawyers come up with this just to save this guy's Ass
It depends how severe it is.

one giant container ship can emit almost the same amount of cancer and asthma-causing chemicals as 50m cars
Appears OP confused greenhouse gases with poison gases. Idiot. Looks like were OK then.
tru dat
