I was trying to put Linux on my desktop computer, but it doesn't support the wireless USB dongle I use. This was last weekend. The same dongle works perfectly in Windows.
I was trying to put Linux on my work computer, but it doesn't support my three monitor, two video card display out of the box. This was about a month ago.
I love Linux, and it's fun to use on computers that have supported hardware (I love it on my ASUS netbook), but if you don't have supported hardware, it's still a nightmare.
The access code typically allows you to create an account, and may be necessary to submit the homework. You can't share the codes because each student needs to submit their own assignments.
Not only that, but apparently Windows cannot use PAE - Physical Address Extension to address more than 4GB (according to the WP entry, PAE is supported, but the 4GB limit is still enforced - due to some obscure licensing problems).
The problem is with virtual memory. A process still uses 32bit memory addresses to reference memory. This means that a process can still only address 4GB of memory. If you were to use more than 32bit memory addresses to get more memory, suddenly you aren't a 32-bit OS anymore.
PAE only helps the OS be able to manage more than 4GB of memory.
It is the compiler which is having ressource problems. The profile-guided optimiser needs more than 3GB to be able to do its optimisations. And apparently, the Windows its running on can't do PAE to use more than 3GB neither.
PAE allows 32-Bit computers to use more than 4GB of ram, but it doesn't allow Windows to assign more than 3GB to any single process.
What's the point of the upgrade, or rather, what does it give me?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 right now, and I've been installing the software and other updates as they come. What changes from one major version of Ubuntu to another? Obviously it's something more than just updated versions of all my software packages. What is it?
I use Virgin Mobile. They have a plan where you pay $0.18 a minute, and thats it. The only requirement is that you add $20 to your account every 90 days. I think they have some better deals if you auto pay with a credit card, such as $15 every 90 days. If you run out of money, you just add more. Its good if use under 30 minutes or so every month, and really want to just have a phone to be on and with you. The phones are cheap too, $20 or so for the basic phone, which comes with $20 of credit!
Some warnings, they run on Sprints network which can be pretty bad some places. They charge you for lots of other special features, text messages, ring tones, games, etc...
I started a website where users submit information and it gets posted to the site. It hasn't quite taken off, and it has recently been discovered by Spam bots. The thing is, they can't figure out how to submit the form. The form includes a calendar with links to other months. These links act as submit buttons, but only to persist the data from page to page. The spam bot fills it all out, and then goes to the next month. Then quits, because it thinks its done. Its been a few months now, and not a single bot has ever gotten down to the real submit button. I don't know why, because the month links submit the form via javascript. The real button is just an So try putting in a fake submit button.
While you have an active subscription (through a free trial, or just a one month deal), you have access to all of their games. So yes, you could play Sam and Max, and then ditch the free trial, or cancel your subscription.
Well, you load all the games through the GameTap Client, so you need an broadband connection and active subscription to play your games. The games you download sit on your hard drive, but in an encrypted form. So DRM'd to the point that you don't own the games, but at least they don't pretend that you own them.
One nice feature is that you can create subaccounts, typically for children that you restrict which games they can play, but two accounts can be logged in at once, under one subscription.
First is the guy who actually wrote the script for the game...
The writing for Sands of Time was what made the game so enjoyable, coupled with voice actors that were actually acting. I don't know how much control the writer for Day after Tommorrow will have, but it sounds like he won't be the primary writer.
Guild wars isn't techincally an MMO, since everything is instanced. Also, since there are no monthly fees, 1million+ copies sold doesn't translate into 1million current players.
Its still my favorite game, and online experience, even if its not an MMO.
I got 100% on my first try. I based my decisions on how community friendly the sites were. Sites that had fourums meant some level of accountability because they was a public way to bash the product on the main page.

You mean some people still run a 32-bit OS?

What about the random factor of some candidates having names that are easier to spell?

But what about the children? Shouldn't they benefit from the creations and hard work of their parents? Won't somebody please think of the children?

It's "Great Scott", you idiot! "Great Scott" You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong.

What part of buying old nintendo games and downloading them to you Wii doesn't involve 'bought-n-downloaded' content?

Blizzard announces they will be making a major Announcement!
Well.....Why? Why did they send her?
No, the point is not that everyone knows Disney won't make graphic games. Its that no one would ever preorder a Disney game.
...is with a stupid comment!

It's not just with games though....just look at everything Google has in beta!
What if Oblivion was projected in 3d holograms....and online....in space! Forget swords....more lasers! And Cheese Graters!
