What if we get two of these babies running together?
or two of those?
maybe four of them?
we could have like 256 GPU's
In the future we wont buy sticks of RAM, we'll buy sticks of GPU. The people who don't know anything about computers will ask if you don't have enough GPU's. I think that the trend will end when people replace their central heating(in the winter) with their PC's and need a second air conditioner in the summer. Or maybe one will just spontaneously combust?
The problem here is perception. The colleges are thinking of it as someone going into an admissions office and looking in a file cabinet(possibly even a locked one) to find their results. Whereas people on Slashdot, who know what the internet is, have no expectation of privacy and know that if you post something online it cannot be protected by just not publishing where it is located. What this is more like is Stanford buying a lot somewhere and placing a giant grid of billboards with admissions status on them, and the students being told, if you go here and look at the billboard with your SSN on the side, it'll tell you if you got in or not.
This is a big problem, and probably a big reason why we keep hearing about information getting out from where it shouldn't. People are treating webservers like locked file cabinets, putting anything and everything in there. While in actuality the information is open to anyone. The strange thing is that people seem to be even more careless with information they put on the internet putting up information that they wouldn't even leave on their desks.
I sympathise with the students because I do this sort of thing all the time, looking at URL's and trying to get to other content, and it's never malicious.
Do you have a reasonable expectation of privacy when you put something in a public place? How about if you don't tell people it's there?
"And it's completely without logic. There's no logic at all. They'll take away a gun but let you keep a knife. Well, what the fuck is that? In fact, there's a whole list of lethal objects they allow you to take on board. Theoretically, you could take a knife, an ice pick, a hatchet, a straight razor, a pair of scissors, a chain saw, six knitting needles and a broken whiskey bottle, and the only thing they would say to you is, "That bag has to fit all the way under the seat in front of you.""

It's a little out of date, the specific observations are wrong, but the message is still there.
You can buy the US Code here:
http://bookstore.gpo.gov/sb/sb-197.html
It is 35 volumes, each of which costs close to $80, so if you want to have a copy of the laws it'll run you $2,800. Alternately you can go online and search them, but that's not as good as owning a copy. And this is only the US law, state law and and local ordinances will set you back at least a grand each, so if you want to know what you're doing wrong, you have to spend $5000 and probably a year reading.
Those works have significant commenting and other things added to them, they do own the copyrights for that portion, I believe that google print should feature the public domain works rather than the annoted copywritten works, however they cannot release those versions for free. I tried to find public domain Romeo and Juliet on google print and was unable to so I agree with you partially. What would be great is an integration of PG and GP, cause PG has some books, but not the resources, nor the ambition, to do what google is fixed to do. Google should focus on the public domain then work their way to searching copywritten works. Google Print has problems, But don't say that the publishers dont have the right to enforce a limit on their works, they have no control over the initial work, but their adaptation thereof, and their comments on it they do.
That was all over the place, so basically, google should push the public domain to the front, but the publishers should be allowed to restrict access to their modifications to the text.
"here's another guy thing that sucks...those t-shirts that say "Lead, Follow or Get out of the Way...this is more of that marine corps bullShit, obsolete male impulses from a hundred years ago, you know what i do when i see that shirt, i obstruct."
There's more to it, I think it's something about waiting till the guy gets halfway around him and kicking him in the nuts, but I cant find it anywhere, so I'll not butcher it.
How dare you disrespect Zelda games. I bought a NES just for the Zelda, same for SNES, although the SNES game deserved it more, it was incredible. Ocarana of time kicked ass, it was way ahead of its time, and I still enjoy playing it, as I do Link to the Past. Majora's Mask left alot to be desired, being basically the same game as OoT, but with the annoyance of having to save your game more often and put stuff in the bank. Wind Waker was great as well, once you got over the fact that, OMG, it was cel-shaded. The game was good, it had the same depth as the rest of the series, and was fun to play, adding at least a few things to the Zelda paradigm(the ability to pick up dropped weapons, navigating). Those of you who wrote off Wind Waker because of the graphics will be glad to know that the new one, coming out in october(and already pre-ordered) will have much more realistic graphics. Those of you who play the games for the gameplay and the puzzles(the intelligent ones) will be glad that there is another Zelda game period. If I only had Zelda games for the rest of my life I'd be happy, they are by for the most consistent good experiences I've had with any games(especially not being a big mario fan).
I think that the people are just crazy, although they will probably come up with some evidence and prove me wrong, that or they'll be forgotten in a week.
I don't think that it counts as a review if all you do is heap praise on something. That's more like advertising, or stupidity. I usually read reviews for what's wrong with a product moreso than what's right.
I agree with you, however, I think you chose a bad example for the removed jokes. That joke is one that would be much easier to change to film, and would probably be a winner, it could be used to add some slapstick comedy (in America violence is funny) with the stairs going out. Its the type of thing that takes time to line up using dialogue, but they could have done a cutscene with Arthur carrying a flashlight and showing all those details in probably less than ten seconds.
This is cool, I mean yes you have to pay 200 more, but in return you get something that you can hold up in court if they ever try to sue you as proof that you already paid for your crimes. As far as I know this has been used at least once(with blank CD's). If, as i think it is, you basically get a license to pirate in exchange then it's well worth it. And it could almost make a competent buisiness if you cut out alot of people in the middle.
Creative, with 13 buttons (maybe it was 11) could not.
If you are refering to the Nomad Jukebox, it's 11 buttons a scroll wheel and a hold switch. There was an IR port on the front that i've never seen used. As someone who used to be a Creative labs lover, starting with the first nomad, I have to say that they are good at hardware(used to be better) but their software is painful to use at best. I loved my original nomad, I'd still use it if it worked with XP. It's tiny, has a FM radio, and a screen. In fact, I'm going to pull it out again(was looking for a small radio, am idiot) I dont know what the point of this was, but Apple makes elegant things that work, everyone else makes things that almost work.
This is like that joke, if the black box is indestructable, why not make the whole plane out of black box. It's really stupid, as black box materials weigh a whole lot more than the materials that aircraft and spacecraft are made of. Douglas Adams wrote an article about becoming disilusioned about comedy and cited that joke as an example of what's wrong. Ignorant people laughing at those who know more than them.
I Don't know about DOS games(other than Red Alert), but I still play my SNES, and my NES, and my N64, often enough that I still have them hooked up. Sometimes I just get in the mood for some Harvest Moon, or some Link to the Past. If these stopped working after a certain amount of time(and It wasn't hardware) I know I would feel the loss. I lent all of my N64 controllers to a friend and had to hound him to get them back when I got the urge to play Harvest Moon. I would play my Dreamcast still(Chaos Rock!) but I made the mistake of giving it to my brother, who sold it(asshole).
Won't this bring up some of the issues that Google avoids by not advertising on the service, and not actually being in the news business. That French place didn't really have a good complaint because google was just linking to other stories in the same vein, without any ads at all or trying to promote their own stories. Won't another news paper getting stories from other sites from pages with their brands and advertising open them to lawsuits?
The other negative consequences for a news agency is that it will show how much of the stuff is from the AP and related organizations anyway.
So Microsoft started getting bad press because of low adoption numbers, and as a consequence they force everyone to download it. Next we'll see a news story about how SP2 has a 80% applied rate with the other 20% still blocking it, and more pissed off now.
Uh, at least in California stations are required by law to provide free air and, I think, water. Even the places that have the quarter slots on the machine will turn them on if you walk in and ask them.
Why would anyone dismantle something that just cost them $250, I could understand when it was an ipod shuffle, and they got it for free, but if you pay $250 and are willing to take the risk of breaking it just to see what's inside, send it to me instead, I'll send you pictures, and then tell you that it broke and keep it.
What I want to see happen is someone to commit a large crime, and have a warrant out for their arrest, and then have their identity stolen. The person who stole the identity now has a warrant out for their arrest, and to avoid it they have to convince police that they 'just' stole the person's identity.
Didn't adams say something about how the BBC is in the business of providing content to consumers, rather than that of providing audiences to advertisers.

Of Microsoft to let us know that another browser is bad. that would be the initial reaction, in this case it seems justified though.
