  1. Re:Why a camera ? on Surveillance Cameras Get Smarter · · Score: 1

    I used to live in an area with an intersection like this. The problem was that the intersection didn't have a crosswalk button so someone on a bike would be out of luck, especially at 5am going to work I would end up looking boths ways and running the red light.

    When does it do that in the game? It has a screen for calibrating brightness and some squares to make sure the screen isn't distorted.

  6. Re:tabs on 4 Seconds Loading Time Is Maximum For Websurfers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I guess you have never wanted to have the descriptions of several items up and compare them? In my experience, it is only linear when you are ready to pay; searching and comparing products benefits greatly from tabs.

    It is a new standard replacing standard ata connectors. Serial ATA was introduced around 2003. (at least that is what wikipedia says) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ata http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT_Attachment

    You must have been using a pre SP2 windows disk. Serial ATA support was added at that time.

    what about a 3840 x 2400 resolution (9.2 megapixel) monitor?

  15. Re:Easy answer: on Is 'Safe' Gaming The Best Kind Of Gaming? · · Score: 1

    You should try the jamdat tetris on cellphones, it doesn't get any faster after level 19, so I can keep going until I am tired of playing. My current record is 1007 lines and that took over 2 hours to do.

    I'm not sure where you are getting those TDP numbers, but the core solo T1300 has a 27W TDP and all core duos (T2300 to T2600) have a 31W TDP.

  19. Re:Not always speed on Teen Creates Device to Track Speeding · · Score: 1

    I think the grandparent post was using the wrong term. Yes, a person's reaction time stays relatively the same, but the time you have to react is reduced based upon how fast you are going. If it takes someone .4 seconds to realize they need to turn and to do so; they would need 14.7 ft to aviod a collision at 20 mph, but 25.7 ft at 35mph. To avoid the collision at a speed of 35mph at a distance of 14.7 ft would require a reaction time of 0.3 seconds. (most numbers pulled out of thin air)

    How about a bike? That's what I did. Rode my bike 3 miles to get to work, the summer months sucked but I survived just fine.

    Not suprising, for an MCSE you need to be able to click [OK] [OK] [OK] [Finish]. Never heard of Route Print before, got to learn something new today.

  22. Re:Screwing the Dead Horse on Interview with SWG Producer Grant McDaniel · · Score: 1

    I played SWG, and I am playing FFXI right now. Personally, I find FFXI far too limited in many respects. The crafting system, housing, player cities, cantinas, and other social aspects are far more limited or non-existant I still play since a friend of mine across the country like the game. Essentially, FFXI feels like there is nothing to it but a grind fest in which you can't do anything solo.
