Ummm... if they have this computer thing then why don't they count the cards too?
Besides, I thought Casinos only played half the cards in the deck these days (ever since the MIT card-counting club) to avoid the counters from getting any real edge.
You really think people are going to try to smuggle explosives into the USA in their hand luggage? With all those thousands of miles of unguarded coastline/borders???
Me too. I went there a couple of times in the early 90's and security was a complete pain (they took everything out of my luggage and every last little paper out of my wallet to read it), and a couple of minutes asking dumb questions. Not just me, everybody on my flight.
If it's got worse than that then count me out. I'm not going through fingerprinting and having my laptop/iPod confiscated when there's plenty of other countries in the world who'll just check whether my passport's valid then wave me through.
So? It's hardly the sort of thing you do by accident...and if you're the sort of person who can't understand how stupid/dangerous it is then you don't deserve a license.
"Ignorant" would be a better rating - there's a lot of compute power but it's in the middle of a very different architecture to an x86 CPU. Not usable for running an OS.
Um, yes it does. It used to do JPG and GIF as well but I just looked and thy seem to have stopped doing that.
You can configure it via the Quicktime applet in the control panel - look under "mime types" in the "browser" tab. I wonder how many average users would know how to do that?
They also constantly try to install iTunes and iPhone apps on my machine. I don't own an iPhone or iPod so why they do that is beyond me.
It's nothing to do with cheapness (steel girders are a lot cheaper than all the R&D needed to design good crumple zones) it's to do with safety and weight reduction.
Crumple zones are safer. If you're sat in a rigid box then you take a much higher G-force peak than if you're sat in something that deforms. What are you more worried about in a head-on, yourself or the car?
Crumple zones mean weight is only added where it's needed, body panels can be thinner/lighter. Less weight means better performance and fuel economy. I realize a light car is unpatriotic in the USA but the savings in fuel, tires and insurance (light car=smaller engine) will more than offset the slightly higher number of dents from not lugging 2000 pounds of useless steel with you everywhere you go.

The main reason people go to Vegas is because they're stupid.
Well, ok, they do have some good shows there. If you avoid the casinos and just see the shows I might let you off the hook.

Still one of the best games available - I replayed it a couple of months ago.
So ... get some secret hand signals together and talk to your wife with them.
Sombody is failing to understand the "Extra Sensory" part of "ESP", ie. you're not allowed to use any of the five senses.
Besides ... if you have a radio link then why not just give them bluetooth headsets and let them talk to each other?
It was mostly SUSE 10 machines, there was no webcam driver in the distro AFAIK.
Believe me ... I've sat and recompiled Spca5xx for a roomful of PCs after the monthly Linux updates. Last time I did it was less than a year ago.
Is it in the kernel now? Maybe ... I don't use Linux much these days.
Maybe Linux is "faster" but at least with Windows I won't have to go in and manually recompile my webcam driver when it's finished updating.
With games at 50-60 bucks a pop the actual 'box' part of the XBox is only the beginning of the expense of owning a console.
(or sell it on eBay and use the cash to buy one...)
How about Isaac Newton? Neurotic, no communications skills, died a virgin.
Paul Erdos? Maybe the greatest mathematician ever but no life skills at all.
etc.
Um.... that's the one thing it totally *fails* to do. It's LESS clear on that one than the current "the ones at the bottom are bigger".
The guy's obviously an idiot with too much time on his hands.

You're part of the problem...

They look more like the screws used to mount hard disks/CD drives.

...I'm not sure it means what you think it means.
So how come you've wasted trillions responding to the Twin Towers thing where a mere 5000 people died.
Clue: Politics and politicians who'll spend any amount of other people's money in order to grab ten minutes on TV.
The law should be for "Driving while distracted" not for individual activities (which need to be added one by one).
This phrase "anti-trust", I don't think it means what you think it means.
How are they leveraging a monopoly to gain unfair advantage in a marketplace?
To me it seems more like NVIDIA has finally realized that they *can't* use it to gain unfair advantage so they're dumping it.
I was about to start using it, this announcement has saved me a lot of wasted effort.
Um, yes it does. It used to do JPG and GIF as well but I just looked and thy seem to have stopped doing that.

The only number which counts is the number of stars. The new tests have more detail but the end result is still number of stars (from 1 to 5).
