...and because after Microsoft screwed SGI over the Fahrenheit project, the EULA for Performer forbid it from ever being used on a Microsoft operating system.
Yes...I mean we might get rid of dependence on oil, develop greener power technologies, etc. and global warming could be wrong! What a terrible mistake that would be!!
IRIS Performer was designed for multiple CPUs because multiple CPUs were *always* available to it (and perfectly normal in the sort of machines where Performer was used).
Let me try again: SGI always had multi CPU machines available for running Performer, and Performer was designed to use those CPUs (it was actually designed for 3 CPUs because that was the average CPU to graphics engine ratio in their machines).
Not many image generators would have used their single CPU desktop machines (which were mostly used for coding/CAD).
PC games not using multiple CPUs is completely separate from SGI machines running Performer.
Um, yes... except Performer was developed on SGI machines which were always multi-CPU (for all of Performer's history anyway). It's got nothing to do with PC gaming.
People are three dimensional but there's only a power of two in the equation. It only works if you're average height (and even then it's dubious, as you've already observed).
He normally bought double seats. This time he was on standby and there wasn't a double seat available for him. What did he do? He went and sat in a single seat without any concern for the guy next to him then got all whiny when they kicked him off, even though they gave him $100 for his trouble.
He's an asshole and I hope the world realizes it (though I'm sure the popular press won't spin it that way).
This time he was on standby and there was no double seat for him. To prevent the person next to him from suffering the overflow they made him take the next flight and gave him $100 for his trouble.
He knew the rules, this just makes a whining, self-entitled asshole.
You'll be able to have a massive nerdgasm imagining owning your your very Blu-ray copy of Avatar as you read it.
They won't release the 3D version right away of course. Oh no... First it will be the 2D theatrical version, then the 2D extended version, then the 3D theatrical version, then the 3D extended version...the 3D director's cut where Jake and Neytiri plug their hair together in the love scene {ooooh!} and *finally* the R-rated 3D extended director's cut with topless Na'vi. All versions will also be sold as boxed sets with collectible blue plastic dolls.
Again the people in charge of the country show their complete ignorance of the Internet.
Short of pulling out the cable there is no possible technical solution to stop people copying files across the Internet because that's what it's for.
You might be able to defeat the current generation of P2P programs but it's 100% certain that the programs will adapt.
Here's a better idea: Force the movie/music industries to provide an attractive/convenient alternative at a realistic price. eg. You pay $2 to watch a movie on demand.

At the speed of light you'll be infinitely thin so a rock will pass right through you, no problem.
UM, I thought the plan was to scoop them up and use them for fuel, ie. you WANT those hydrogen atoms to pile up in front of the ship.
I think it's more that Utah is sitting on a whole metric assload of coal.
A place with massive coal reserves is claiming that coal is the best way to produce power?
Hmmm. I think I see the problem.

I bet ISPs will be rubbing their hands together over this: "100mbps minimum? No problem - just make everybody pay for a T6 connection!"

Jeez, the pedants are out in force today...

BMI is *junk*. Spread the word...

Maybe you heard of it - it's when a lot of people buy new PCs ... and new PCs all have copies of Windows preinstalled.
That was my first thought too: *"STUDY"*? ROFLOL!!!!
Physics 101: Energy = m * v^2
ie. mass is far less important then velocity (RPM in the case of a flywheel).
Gyroscopes resist changes on both directions, ie. it wouldn't help.
The only way is to use a horizontal mounted gyroscope.
Came here to see an American complain about spelling/grammar and am leaving satisfied.
You're not cracking it, you're hiding the nag for a few weeks. Even Microsoft gives you 30 days grace period.
Any decent PC tech knows which file to delete to remove the nag screen. Get rid of the nag and let them reinstall WGA next month.
You're there to fix the PC, not to enter into a legal battle.

I just fill up my tank with entangled particles and the gas company will disentangle them as I drive along? That's neat!
Already been patented ... why do you think they can't accept upside-down faxes?
Yes, but the politicians can claim to be doing things...and that's far more important than any expense/inconvenience the plebs might suffer.
