    that gave me a cool idea.. what if you had a program where you could build something virtualy with lego's and then once doen have it break down all the peices you used and what sets you need to complete it or hell be able to place a custom order for just the peices you need for it.. that would be cool..

    this question reminds me of a project i worked on.. the app used pure win32 controls and has alot of forms on tabs and check boxes// (note that windows treates each one of them as a window) so if i opened more than 2 copies of the app i would run out of windows in Windows (i didn't write it)

    but on average.. i would say 10-20 that i am currently working on.. not counting the stuff hidden in the tray..

    now i could see a use in this.. but not as a game controller..

    if they could make it so that on the outside you couldn't tell the diffrence.. and the weight of the ball was exactly the same as a regulation ball.. it would be good to track ..

    use it for a practice and dowload the data.. maybe be able to put timed markers to what play was when and then monitor the balls movement accross the feild.. do see mabey the avg speed of the runnrs or the normal play time for a play..

    now it would only be useful for pro or big college teams.. but i could see a use for it..

    but there is nothning requring the electoral college to vote the way of the state.. there can be a policy or pratice of voting the way the populas does but in the end it is their vote and they can vote how they want.

    there are selecte people who vote for the leader of the nation.. and they are picked by leaders of your state.. they are contated by the people running for pres... these people are not you or me.,. the gernal population has no vote in who is going to be the leader of the nation.

    suprisingly not.. it is only the first two that battle it out.. the lower power source will sync up with the greater power source when you combine them (AC)

    this is what happens when they bring new powerplants on the grid.. for a short time there is some phase issues but within minutes the new plant will be in sync with the rest of the grid.. i assume this would apply to using these smaller sources

    Just wanted to note that you mentioned the right to bear arms.. that isn't meant to be there for self defense.. it is to be there so that the people will have the means if necessary to retaliate against their own government..

    now last time I checked our armed forces have every weapon known to man and many trained people to use them..

    if there was a civilian revolt today against the US it would require someone from the armed forces to command their troops against the government for it to work.. there is no way that the population could do it..

    by limiting their rights they also slowly erode the ability to use the second amendment to stop the government.

  20. Re:Blame ia32 for PAE on Apple Unveils MacBook Pro with Core 2 Duo · · Score: 1

    my comment was purely related to 32bit.. when you move to 64bit computing so much changes in memory handling that it isn't even fare to compare them..

    I was mainly relating to the posters question about their setup and comment.

    and as for the user/kernel memory for mapping.. the virtual memory is typically mapped 2gbUser/2gbKernal unless you use the 3GB switch which makes it 3gbUser/1gbKernal but that is only efficient if you have 3gb or more of memory.. and the 3gb is addressed to each process - PAE is a hack but it was a good hack when it was needed.. and allowed addressing up to 16gb I believe.. maybe 32.. but I think it was 16gb.. xp's lack of more than 4gb even with PAE is an arbitrary limit set by MS not by the core..

    Mac's are a whole other story that I don't really follow...

  21. Re:Memory Upgrade Too on Apple Unveils MacBook Pro with Core 2 Duo · · Score: 1

    The way to get past the 3gb to 4gb is using PAE which is a limitation not by the os but by the hardware and how it maps IO.. MS makes you use a /PAE on the string for the boot loader and it will only work if your hardware supports it.. this hardware limitaion is the same no matter what os.. i am not personaly aware of how to turn it on (if you must manualy or if it is auto) for linux or OSX..
