I know they talk about the weight of some of these behemoths, and they touch on how they are backed well (backing plates) but these things are huge, and put alot of stress on the Mainboard. I have the Hyper 6, if I were to ever travel with my box I would take it off. Right now it is sitting comfortabley but driving, moving this thing might crack the mainboard around the CPU.
They should institute a "wiggle test" to see how much wiggling it takes to break the mainboard when one of these monsters is connected.
Yes, but what you have to understand is that he has figured out that it is easier to put blame on someone else than to actually think for yourself...

When the civil liberties get worse, he just says "Alex Joel was placed there to fix these problems" Then when the media pushes harder he says "Alex Joel was trying his best" Then he removes (has him resign) Mr. Joel from his current post and acts as if everything he did was right. Then puts some Texan in the spot to reward them for helping him out when he was a young politician... oh wait, he puts (tries to) those people on the Supreme Court.
I heard from a good source that Dvorak stories are put together by the same crew that writes for Family Guy.... mainly a group of Manatees. They choose the idea balls for him, in this case "Open Source" "OSX" and "Microsoft" He then uses a MadLibs for connecting words, in this case "scared" and "crazy"
Hopefully someone can remove an idea ball from the tank of Dvoraks manatees and stop this madness.
I thought that was George "Boston George" Jung? But I guess you could just say that he founded it in America, much like Columbus. Maybe we should get him his own holiday too?
Anyone remember how Wing Commander included Blueprints, a manual, offers, etc? Good luck finding that stuff in a modern game.:-/
You just don't buy the right games. Grand Theft Auto: New Jersey (Q4/08) is rumored to come with a used condom, a hypodermic needle and a dead hooker in the packaging.
I have a Dell 2005fpw ($397 to my door from Dell!) with a decent rig (AMD A64 3700+ (754), MSI K8n Neo Platinum, 1 gig Crucial Ram, 7200 RPM Segate SATA, Sapphire X850XTPE (AGP), on board sound, and everything OCed a bit. I haven't bought a game since F.E.A.R. and Quake 4, and even with those I was still playing BF2 all day long so I can speak about that better.
I ran the game at (shortcut hack) 1680x1050 which was really 1600x1200 stretched. I ran everything high except Shadows (which I didn't care for) and texture (which at medium I couldn't see a difference), sound was also kept at medium quality. In the bigger fight seens, mainly a large fight (10+ people) and artillery coming down I would slow down to 20 or so FPS, but I was usually around 45FPS. I am not a pro-player, nor am I a FPS whore so I was happy with that. I gave up shadows and textures and facny pants sound (I am on 2.1)
That system cost (including monitor and keyboard & mouse) around $2300 a little over a year ago. If your in the market for a $400+ monitor I think your computer will be adequate (mine or similar) and you will be able to play well enough. Going ahead I think I need to upgrade (which sucks with AGP and 754) in order to run future games at 1680x1050 (native on the 2001fpw).
Not entirely paranoid. I thought it was a well-known fact that employers Googled people when considering hiring them.
If a potential employer were to google my birth name they would get no results for me. They would however get results for a Porn Producer who has the same name. This guy goes by my complete name, including middle name. Even better, he is a really hardcore producer. Things like Lactation and Sodomy and Transgender.
No, I won't provide links but I have seen one of his films given to me by a highschool classmate who said "Dude, you HAVE to watch this!" Thirty seconds into it I knew why when I saw my name scroll across the screen. About 5 minutes later I hit the stop button becuase women peeing on each other ain't my cup of tea.
The problem with myspace, and the internet in general, is that it leaves a record of these kids actions (I am talking about 14-21 year olds as "kids").
You see, before the parents didn't know little susie was blowing little billy behind the gym, now they can read about it and their scared. Or they (the parents) didn't know that their kids know about pot, sex, curse words, even politics to some extent, and they know the kids didn't learn it from them (the parents).
So where did little Susie/Billy learn about premarital sex and drugs and drinking and etc... Tv? no, School? no, Home? Hell no! They must have learned it from MySpace and Yahoo Chatrooms and Eminem.
It's not that kids talk about sex nowadays, and it's not that little girls and boys act like little whores and quasi-pimps, it is that these kids put it out there... for all to see, including their parents.
The main problem with a product like this is that it won't help those who need it most... mainly broke college students who don't clean up after themselves, because they won't be able to afford it. I have never been in a dirty rich persons home (at least the bathroom).
I wonder if government will advocate tracking of people using RFID, or advocate banning the tracking of people via RFID?
They probably won't take a stand either way for the time being, it's best for them to keep thier options open, although not necessarily good for us.
The way I see it, in the future they will start implanting these into Drivers Liscenses, and since you are (I think) required to have ID with you this can be thier loophole into always having an eye on you, but not actually sticking you with a needle full of nano technology.
It shouldn't be "who cares" but more "Why does the NFL care?"
Seriously, I could go into how they should be focused on making sure all the Refs are ready and that the Instant Replay is ready, but put that aside and question why the NFL is making sure that game balls are authentic.
I mean, why do they care? Do they make money off eBay? Do they make money off of the ball 30 years from now when it sells for tens-of-thousands at Sotheby's? Why is the NFL putting money into this, just to say that thier balls can't be faked?
This is one of those "Do we, the media, report it?" stories. This article is pretty meaningless as far as the bigger picture goes, and it probably could have gone unpublished in my mind and no one would have really cared. But it may do more damage than good by being published. This article shows, and maybe it's because I work with criminals all day (Public Defenders office), that writing malware pays. Before it was for notoriety or to prove you could or to piss people off, but now it can provide an income source and I think we will be seeing more of it from now on just because people are going to be trying to make a buck off of it. We live in a socitey where a Million-Dolllar-Homepage gets filled (it recently did), where the Gotti family has its own TV show and where Carrot top is a rich man. Our lust for money leads us down the less then friendly paths, and this article reports, once again... that crime does infact pay.
Well that explains why you get to see Daniel Jacksons wifes tits and ass in the first episode*. I had never figured out how they slipped that one by the FCC, even the pre-Bush FCC.
* Next week Stargate S01E01/02 will be the highest traded file(s) on your favorite P2P network as 150,000 Slashdotters download it again to bask in the light that is Daniel Jacksons wifes bush.
It's better now than when Steam initally launched (IMHO) but it is still really lacking.
After reinstalling Windows recently to start things fresh I put all the games I play back on, disk by disk while I browsed the web. That is, all but one game, Day of Defeat: Source. I forgot to back it up and dread having to go through all the bullshit Valve is going to make me go through to get it back.
Honestly, if I had a disk I would probably be playing it again.
We need to enhance the moderation format to include "+1 Tinfoil Hat" Everytime we get some qusi-paranoid conspiracy theory we just mod it up +1 Tinfoil Hat, although the rest of the moderation system may get jealous because they will never be used...
I blame Microsoft for the lack of this feature. I think it is a conspiracy between them and the NSA to keep us from expanding our Tinfoil Army.
The smartest thing Yahoo! ever did was add that Eclamation Point to their name. No matter what the story, be it good, bad, neutral, even boring that little bugger makes them stand out.
I always read headlines and stories and forget that they have it attached in their copyrights. I was all giddy to read a story about a CEO, not because I am a business major or a fan of Yahoo! in general, but because that little mark (!) envokes so much emotion! You can't just go around throwing exlamation points at every crappy sentance, but Yahoo! makes every crappy story about them stand out!
Sorry for the late reply, and I assume you will never read this. It is a crime, in NY. It all falls back to intent. To sell baking soda or sugar as coke or crack, or to sell oregano as weed is illegal (acutally I don't know if there is a crime for weed), I looked it up in one of my law books and it is infact called "sale of an imitatioin controlled substance"
I don't write the laws, I can't say why this one went into effect, but in NY it is illegal to sell baking soda as cocaine. It's a misdemeanor though, not the normal felony attached to selling real cocaine.
This is true, what you say, but I was trying to say that you can get pinched for a crime, charged with a crime and found guilty of said crime because you intended to commit it.
Like my example of buying cocaine (thats actually baking soda) and selling it as cocaine. If you don't know, it does not matter, your not going down for Sell of Imitation Controlled Substance* your going down for Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance**. Even though there was no actual controlled substance ever bought or sold. But these are NY laws, I don't know other states and I don't know the UKs penal system at all.
*ICS is an A misdemeanor the first time, E Felony the Second. ** CSCS is an A Felony. See why it matters, intent alone brought you from a Misdeameanor to a A Felony.

Like 600? Or 600,000,000? If it were the later I don't think there is any reason for your post.

Isn't this Slashdot? News for Nerds?
I think this crowd knows very well the effects of bullying.
