The game play video in GH is not generated on the spot. The character models have predetermined movements timed to the songs that are playing. It's all pre-calculated movements with varying camera angles.
I'd like to see more research into faster than light communication. I've had several ideas using Quantum Entanglement and the 'Spooky Effect' to achieve this but there'd be some testing needed, thankfully none of it would require launching anything into space.
You may not reach terminal velocity, but a blackbox is located in the cockpit. What about the tons of metal coming in behind it after the crash? A good sharp fragment of metal could impale the device and that's the end of it.
The moment they became public figures they opened themselves up to open criticism from the public. Every politician, judge, even bean-counter has to deal with it because they are OUR 'servants.' Whether that criticism be voiced orally or written on an internet forum, they are subject to bear it, until it crosses the line into slander and defamation and falsehoods. Then they have means to fight back. The site should stay up, period.
Didn't some company, years ago, develop a card specifically to handle voxels and texels? It was a 512MB card, I think it was made by 3DLabs, or Mitsubishi Electronics for medical imaging, I can't remember for the life of me.
The point is that those vibrations you mention would destroy the solid state storage, thus rendering the data absolutely useless and null. True that tape drive motors would be severely affected unless the whole unit had a gyro stabilizer (which I think some models do) but solid state would shatter upon impact. You rarely find working electronic devices after a plane crash, except for military ones.
I wouldn't have chosen the cassette player. I had several, and when rollerblading, every bump or sudden spin altered the sound of the music because of the strain put on the tape drive motor. Moving parts = plenty of room for failure and alteration of sound.
"But the fact remains that a console is neither the environment for competitive gaming nor does it have the input methods for it."
Never heard of the Nintendo Championships, have you? Judging by your UID it's certainly not before your time. It was back in the late '80s when that competition was held, but it was competitive and it was FIERCE.
But then again, the way you talk suggests that you're the type that only thinks FPS/RTS gaming is competition.
"If you want your shit to run faster and are willing to take instability as a price, YOU CAN. Can't do that on a console, you're stuck with what they give you."
Bullshit. I've overclocked both my Super Nintendo and my SEGA Genesis (and the add-on 32X cart) and I learned how to do so from the Slashdot story linked here: http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/04/30/1425233 Maybe *NOW* they've got you locked, but I seriously DOUBT that. If man can make it, man can tinker with it, period. Can you say MODCHIP?
If it were against the ToS of every ISP, they'd never provide you with a router for hooking up multiple computers to a pipeline, thus instantly making you a mini-ISP in your own home. Think about what you're saying vs. the reality we see. If what you were saying was actually the case, we'd get a pure modem, and it would only allow outbound packets from one MAC address so that only one computer could effectively use the modem.
This is still character assassination. They're calling this person a hacker when it's very clear they are not a hacker - no forceful breach of security happened, no bypassing security measures, no database information stolen, nothing except finding/stumbling upon an open, unsecured URL that some idiot webmaster didn't have the common sense to secure. The issue here is that we have idiots using words without knowing what they truly mean and as a result they are harming this person's reputation. Were this to stick, potential employers would not hire this person on reputation of being a 'hacker.'
Considering how I've seen people going back to '50s style music, clothing, etc., it'd make sense if they suddenly just went back to text-gaming. Retro's the way to go! Stranded on an alien planet without a six pack of beer, baby!
I'll call it the mind-generated graphics system, or MGGS for short.
You're missing the whole point of TFA. The man's being called a hacker when there was no hacking done - no database breaches, no information stolen. It's just a publicly accessible URL that they didn't lock down. It's the web developer's fault, not the person that stumbled upon the URL. Calling him a hacker when no hacking happened is character assassination, and it could damage this person's reputation.
"There are too many people freeloading nowadays. The internet makes it so much easier to freeload"
Jee, I wonder if you'd apply the same concept to OTA radio and Local TV with regards to magnetic recording media back in the 80s and 90s.
The fact of the matter is that they're claiming it is a hack, when it's their own stupidity and ignorance that allowed this to happen. Calling this a hack is just an attempt upon the person's character. People will begin to think the person that stumbled across this is a hacker, then they'll get that reputation, which in turn tarnishes the reputation of the non-hacker. It's character assassination and MobiTV should be nailed to the fucking wall while someone calls for their waaaaaahmbulance.
I do. I use an older version running under Win98SE and with plugins that do the equivalent of today's photoshop, from what I've seen. Eat my 96 megs of RAM on a paltry 533 MHz P3.
That doesn't matter. The fuel used to generate that electricity has been burned already. So instead of burning one gallon of fuel to produce 600 watts, you burn one gallon to produce 300 watts. What a waste.
REMOVING THE FUCKING BATTERY so no matter what you do, the damned cell phone doesn't send out a fucking signal. It's that damned simple unless some screwed up cell phone company went Apple and hardwired the battery.
What are you smoking? Unless you paid for a static IP address the only way to actually opt-out is by the MAC address of the actual hardware, since Cable modem IPs are dynamic and will change every day or every modem reset.
We had the captcha system beaten a LONG time ago. For an anime forum I run, we use images taken from a little-known anime. You are to input the name of that anime in order to get acceptance for registration. We haven't had any spam since we implemented this a few years ago.
It's sad that a bunch of anime nerds can beat out a full team of PhD holding Google Employees.
I have to download the drivers for my old wireless Compaq keyboard and mouse so the upper eight programmable keys actually work. Keyboard drivers have been around for quite a while now, like Crossfire and G-15, Nostromo (god how I miss mine) etc.
No, I just don't give a fuck. What's the law going to do? I just opened 5,000 various auctions in my Firefox browser and set them to auto-refresh at the same time. The fact that their servers couldn't stand up to a simulation of 5,000 people clicking 'refresh' at the same time doesn't constitute a violation of law. The key word in the sentence is 'TRIED' not 'successfully carried out'
The law's tried it before anyways. I run rings around them every time, simpyly because most judges aren't smart enough to know what they're trying to charge me for.

You drop any solid state device hard enough and it'll fail due to stress fractures in the silicon.

Not a damned thing. Came with the pair of cards since I bought it from a family member.

"I can get something for $400-600 that does the job adequately. However, that system will not play games."
Bullshit.

My most recent gaming system cost me $550. That's sans an 8800 or the newer 9-series nVidia card, I'm running dual 6800s.
.SWF is the container for the Flash application. The code contained within remains the same. Have you ever programmed using Flash?

You don't decompile flash, FYI. It's code and play, no compilation needed. I've grep'd the sources for both, they're nearly identical.
