I never lag in Ironforge... I'm on a dual 3.2 GHz Xeon machine with 2 gigs of ram and a GeForce 6800 Ultra, so that may be part of it... I run at 1920x1200 with full details, and I always get 30-60 FPS, even when I throw 4x multisampling on. When recording in Fraps at full resolution I get about 20 FPS. UT2004 runs like a charm at 1920x1200 with "Holy Shit!" details too. I honestly have no idea why my card runs everything so well, it is slightly dated. =P
I tried to install OTRS a long time ago when I was setting up my small hosting business... I was never able to get it to run within Plesk. The setup for it is ridiculous, and has almost no documentation at all... I wound up using OSTicket. It meets my needs, by no means anything flashy, but it does the job.
Take a 320x240 image in Photoshop or Gimp or whatever you use, and stretch it to 2048x1536. You tell me if it looks good. That's the same thing that's going on with a DVD upsampler. It's creating new data by interpolating existing data. Any visual improvement you see is in your head, and in fact the image quality is at best the same as the DVD before being upsampled. It's exactly like taking a 64 Kbit mp3 and upsampling it to 192 Kbit. You don't get better quality from upsampling.
Um, I can do all of the above on my Mac without using Office. I DO use Office because I prefer it and I'm used to it. Aside from that, Apple has their own productivity suite, their own mail client, etc. In fact, their presentation software Keynote blows Powerpoint away hands down, and I do use that instead of Powerpoint when I need to do a presentation. I can play the games I like to play, I can do my music production, I can do video/imagery work, I can write software, I can do just about anything that you can throw at me. Stop spewing crap until you know what you're talking about. Thanks.
That sorta like reminds me of my sorta like English professor I have sorta like this term at school. We just sorta like finished sorta like writing a sorta like paper on this sorta like essay we sorta like read...
Seriously, last week, one of my classmates got curious when class started. He kept a tally to see if the prof would get past 100. 20 minutes in he looked down, and the prof had said "sorta like" 120 times. At the end of the class? 217 times.
An English professor. At a university. That isn't good...
You can get some cool sounds out of those Line 6 Pods and Variax guitars. I have both myself, and they're fun, but it doesn't even come close to my B-52 AT-212, my collection of BOSS pedals, my Cry Baby, and my Music Man guitar.
I don't know why people buy cheap equipment and then say they get great sound from it. A cheap solid state guitar amp simply isn't going to sound anything like a fully analog tube amp. If you want that cheesy faux-metal Linkin Park sound, then go for it, but if you want a good mellow sound or a sound that is punchy enough to melt faces? Hell no.
Then again, look at all the crap that's played on the radio these days. Anyone can pick up a guitar and within 30 minutes play most of the music you hear. It's pathetic. These "musicians" don't even know how to play their instruments. It isn't hard to drop D and slam out some fast power chords. I personally find it easier to play power chords with standard tuning, especially when I want to chunk out a power chord as part of a single note shred riff.
Except, this virus doesn't require or even ask for an admin password. The initially created account, which most users use, has write rights to/Applications, and/Library, which is all the virus needs to install itself. You open the file, it executes a script, and writes itself into random applications as well as the Library directory.
Pictures have headers, such as image/jpeg. The OS *can* determine it by that, but generally jpegs on OS X will have a.jpg or.jpeg extension. If you copy a jpeg over with no extension, in my experience the OS has no idea what to do with it. Us mac users use file extensions like everyone else!

Pirates of the Caribbean. Based on a ride at Universal Studios. All it takes is someone with vision and creativity, and you can make a good movie out of anything. Granted, that had a big budget, but it still was based on practically nothing. Judging from that, I'd say that yes, it's possible to make a good movie from a game with very little story.
Your teacher is wrong. Cell phones operate on GSM - 800, 900, 1800, or 1900 MHz bands. No modern cell phone operates on 2.4 GHz that I'm aware of. The amount of power output is also negligable, you're getting bombarded with way more energy 24/7 than a cell phone can put out.
That would be the ideal way of doing it. I have a G4 PowerBook, so it's out of the question for me right now. I think it'd be cool if Apple took up work on the Darwine project and tried to make it work flawlessly. They have the resources to do that or at least attempt to do it, and with their partnership with Microsoft they might even get help making it perfect. I really doubt it'll happen though.:/
Aside from that, there's another neat thing that Intel's done, and AMD is working on. The CPU has a virtualization feature that pretty much lets two OSes run at the same time. This means that VMWare or a similar program would be able to run at full native speed, and possibly have direct access to hardware. So there wouldn't even be a need to keep up with APIs, when you could just run the other OS in a window at full speed...
On a side note, if anyone knows more about the virtualization tech, let me know, I'm interested in how it works.
There's a post somewhere near the end that explains how someone fried/screwed up the EFI so badly that the display doesn't even turn on and it won't boot from CD or anything for that matter. But yeah, for the most part it's just screwing up your boot record which would be repairable.
The thing is that this is only for kernel mode drivers, which for the most part will be almost nothing in Vista. Video drivers, audio drivers, cdrom drivers, that's all going to be in user space in Vista, so it should be a non issue... All that aside, I'm still going to stay the hell away from Vista as long as I can...
It could be worse... You could be playing Lineage 2.:-P
If you haven't played it, keep it that way. You lose 10% of a level every time you die, and yes, you can go backwards in levels. The game's open PVP, and you drop an item or two when you die. So that new shiny item you got? Someone higher than you wants it, they just gank you and steal it. Also, there's no level restriction on items, just item grades every 20 levels. So the second you hit 20 you can get the same gear a level 39 or 40 would be using, right away! And on top of that, it takes about 2 days of serious playing (6-8 hours) to go from level 25 to 26... That was when I quit, level 26. I can't imagine up in the 60s and 70s... Worst. Game. Ever.
The only one I know of that they have as faction only would be RFC, Rage Fire Chasm. Even then, if you're sneaky enough, you can get in there as Alliance.

Ah, yeah, I can see that would make things slightly difficult. =P

And yes, I know I have been trolled.
Nautical miles, not nanometers... It's kinda dumb that they both are represented by nm though.
Er, thanks, you're right. My mistake... I should have known that seeing as it's a Disney film. :\

In Vista they're revamping that model. So yes, his opinion does matter, as in fact pretty much every driver will be in user mode.
The thing is that this is only for kernel mode drivers, which for the most part will be almost nothing in Vista. Video drivers, audio drivers, cdrom drivers, that's all going to be in user space in Vista, so it should be a non issue...

I know it runs on Linux and Oracle. I'm not sure which distro and version of Oracle though.
