I casually use my 9600XT with it's VIVO support with an old satellite reciever I own. I looked at SageTV, but unfortunately it didn't support the AIW/VIVO...
Even if Gore had more Florida votes, it doesn't matter. United States presidents are not elected by the people. Electors elect presidents. The particular electors from Florida decided to give their votes to Bush.
What about Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow? Or Kirby: Canvas Curse (okay, so this one's pretty short)? I was about to say Feel the Magic, but that's a really short easy game too. So, yeah, I guess you could say the games lack depth...but just make sure you compliment Castlevania as well.
Exactly. The point is, games are just more complicated now. There are so many more variables and places that can cause problems, that problems are way more likely to occur.
On another note, I'm not really against the whole patch thing. I mean, even if I buy a game that wasn't built solid the first time around, it'll work eventually, right? So, either you can wait for the patch, or you could've waited for the pushed back release date. What's the big deal.
Anyways, patches provide a fix for stuff that never would've been fixed, even with a longer development period. Look at Unreal Tournament 2004. Epic has provided patches and map packs constantly, and continues to do so. How about Counter-Strike: Soruce? Do you think quickscoping would've been fixed had the company just taken 6 more months to release the game? (some people will dispute the word fix, but whatever) Uh, no.
In other words: keep rolling out those patches game companies.;)
His point is, even if you need over 17 GBs of RAM, it'd be far more efficient to just split up that RAM among multiple 64-bit processors. I mean, by the time we have 17 exabytes of RAM, they're will probably 1000 core 64-bit processors.;)
Something similar happened a couple years back (IIRC) when AMD was losing the MHz battle and stated that MHz isn't everything. Well, sure, it isn't. But your whole argument this entire time has been that it is. So, when you shift your argument only when your losing... probably means the argument isn't all that good.
There's just one porblem with your analogy: the AMD processors with less Mhz actually did run faster than the higher Mhz Intels. So, technically, Mhz didn't matter. AMD just had one period of time when their processors were faster than Intel's processors with higher clock speeds (IIRC, AMD was the first one to release a desktop x86 processor at 1Ghz).
Well, if you want to know the truth, the newspaper companies don't really make that much money from subscriptions, even in the offline world. They most of all their money...through advertising: the classified ads. So, really, they'd be happy to take your money, but I doubt they'd be happy to get rid of advertising.;)
Exactly. I mean, just imagine how much more BitTorrent could take off if everyone had higher upstream and download.
Give many people more bandwidth; they'll find a use for it.
However, I don't exactly agree with this statement. Let's say Company X decides to give 10 Mbits/s down and up for $30 a month (I'm just throwing numbers out there, don't take them seriously). 95% of the people out there will just be happy because "it's broadband for $30 a month. Plus it's really fast for web browsing". Right? They don't give two flying flips about the upload, because they don't even know how to take advantage of it. Therefore, the company is selling a really good deal to the nerds who do take advantage, without penalty from the people who don't. This way, I think that upload is going to get a whole heck of a lot cheaper, really soon.
Exactly. What you said the GP said is just plain not true. IE for Mac isn't linked to the Windows kernel at all. If anyone has ever used it, they'd no it's a completely different beaset from IE for Windows.
At the same time, this reminds me a lot of the hilarious series The Office. I mean, just because a boss is trying to be funny and cheer everyone up, doesn't mean he's succeeding...
Actually, if people download a movie that they like, they're more likely to buy it when it comes out on DVD. Also, sure more people will download it, but that doesn't mean that more people aren't still paying to see it. It's somewhat a percentage...
I thought the exact same thing.
I also agree with you about what OS people use to develop on. I use Windows for gaming and a secondary computer running Gentoo to do all my programming (which I'm still learning...and with Nano, of course!)
No he doesn't. I know what you're talking about, but it displays the same 3 links no matter what string you search for. Did you click the example? I got it on my mine and I am 100% sure I don't have any spyware.
My biggest problem with IPV6?. Well, you're all going to laugh at me for being the n00b but I am, but it's related to something you said: the length of the IPs. I mean, I know with longer IPs you get more IPs, but there's no way I'll be able to memorized 4 or 5 server's IP addresses when they're 32 characters long.
Well, there's actually something called ARP spoofing that can easily deter any sort of secure packets. Basically, you pretend that your wardriving laptop is the router. After that, you forward the packets to the actual router. The packets that are sent are recorded on the screen. You can pick up passwords, IM conversations, even (yes, that's right) credit card numbers. It's really quite scary how insecure an insecure wifi network is.
No, this is a player. I acutally own it personally. It's a great little device with a wonderful interface and tons of great features. It can even play video with an international firmware upgrade! My biggest complaint, however, is the buttons. They're difficult to press, and they don't provide sensitivity. This means that scrolling down my 300 artists or so can take up to 30 seconds.
The new iPod is basically the exact same thing with a bigger screen, better buttons, but no mic, line in, or text features. I'll wait for the next big iPod.;)
Back on topic, I think this is a great move. Sure it provides publicity (nothing wrong with that), but it also allows for great ideas. Every complaint that the community has about the player can be personally addressed by them. I mean, look at the PSP (and it's firmware is closed!). Before we know it, someone will figure out some way to get a browser on that thing (I don't, maybe through USB--it's possible).
Well, if I wanted to take this challenge totally and completely literally, IE would win. You see, IE is actually better if you're using a permission-based system (which I am, as certain applications and WU uses IE). Basically, I put in certain domains (Google, WU...that's about it) that I say are perfectly fine. Then those websites get to do whatever they want. Any other site has permission based cookies, blocked ActiveX, and blocked Javascript. If I truly need to use the site, I just add it to my Trusted Sites.
I can honestly say that I use hardware firewalls (no software firewalls that I can "turn off", no Anti-Virus, and no Anti-Spyware/Anti-Adware. At the same time I have a script process monitoring regimen and will stand by the fact that if you installed any of the above applications, I'd be clean.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that if you know how to use IE correctly, it's perfectly fine (although I use Opera as my primary--excellent interface).
Uh, I think you're forgettin T-Mobile's deal for thier Sidekicks and Blackberrys (my dad has had one of each).
Basically, you get unlimited data at dial-up speeds for $20 a month. Pretty good deal (and occasionally speeds reach up to 300 Kb/s).

Technically, judges don't belong to a party. Therefore, he's neutral. Just because Bush appointed him doesn't make him a conservative "nut".

I'm using Opera 8.51 and this works perfectly fine. That's a little strange...
Actually, the paint could be used as a tool to help overclockers. Wherever you see brighter colors, you need to add a fan. ;)
Someone please mod this guy up. That was so, so hilarious. I sincerely wish I had some mod points right now.

What games have our favorite punk bands? Where? I'll buy it as soon as you tell me what game it is.
