    not the case. On may occasions I've had to restart an X session because of faulty display drivers and you can move the running apps to the new one.

    I'm not going to hold your hand and tell you how because thats not the way of the linux admins.

    Before you open your mouth, you might want to have some experience with more than pressing that button.

    Windows.
    Error: Restart
    Critical Error: Reinstall

    Linux

    Hardware Error: Recompile Kernel

  2. Re:Two Ideas on Far-Fetched Time Travel Concept Receives Private Funds · · Score: 1

    • In the time between now and the time when existence as we know it is destroyed, time travel will never be invented. If it was, someone would come back in time to tell us about it.
    • Time travel will be invented, but not used because it is too dangerous (hence why nobody ever came back in time to tell us about it). If this is the case, it is still useless and why invent it in the first place?
    Either way, research in to time travel appears to me to be useless. What about if time travel was limited to time references at or after the point time travel was invented. Time travel beyond this point in time results in a paradox in which the universe prunes the fork in the tree of universes?

    Once you invent time travel you meet yourself as say:
    "Congradulations, You (I) have invented time travel. Don't go past this point or you will cease to exist. But how do I know this you ask? I'll Be right back."
    *POOF* he disappears; never to reapear.

    I like the idea of the multiverse with automatic paradox pruning.

    After reading over the comments thus far; a few things stand out.
    1. High cost is prohibitive to purchasing the system
    2. "My 360 is better"
    3. No exclusive Titles
    I'm not going to lie to you. I have both the 60gig and the 20gig versions of the console. What made me buy, not one but two of these systems you might ask? I'll tell you. Its the Combinations of nice technology wrapped in one case.

    I'm jumping off topic but I have a grievance to shout. The comments of My 360 is better look at my ZOMG Graphics and game play on Gears of War
    Try comparing apples to apples. Gears of war is rendered off the latest Unreal engine which has been the industry standard in graphics for every version. The problem with comparing ports of the same game is the different architectures. Did the Devs take full use of the Cell Proc or did they simply recompile it for the Cell and not optimize it? Not to mention the Unreal Engine is not complete for the PS3. But I regress, moving on.

    Exclusive titles come to platforms with a player base
    It is true the PS3 dosn't have a large following. however the real reason this is such a shame is because the injustice done to gamers world wide. The world tries to move on, move to better technology, get out of the architecture slump and Corporations continue to hold us back. I'm not saying the 360 is a bad system, or the cost of the ps3 is justified, I'm just saying that Sony took a step tward the future. Stepping forward is costly, and Microsoft and its greed (you can not deny that comment and call yourself a slashdot reader) has successfully held the world of gaming back from moving in a new direction. I'm not saying that the ps3 is the correct direction, what I am saying is; as gamers continue to buy the 360, they continue to fuel the Giant that would have you stuck on the same architecture for the XBox 780 because it suits them not to move forward.

    Sony:"Lets try something new. We will design and manufacture and new architecture and pass the cost to the user for the R&D and production"
    Nintendo:"Lets have a little fun"
    Microsoft:"Screw Sony. Screw the users. Keep the industry on an architecture we can support"

    as a person currently running XP-64 Beta, Here are the gripes I have: Drivers must be 64-bit == Most Drivers 'cept nVidia and a select few others are 32 .Net Framework 64 is "out" With the lack of driver support, running XP-64 is a hit or miss operation currently. Luckly my board has most things onboard and gigabyte was kind enough to give me 32-bit versions of all my drivers. Thank you gigabyte for giving me 32 bit drivers with a 64 bit board, shure these guys don't work for microsoft?
