A guy jumped off a cliff with one of these flying squirrel suits. He had a parachute just in case, but he did not use it. Picture a huge V where the tops of the V are the 2 mountain peaks and the center is a valley. He jumped off one mountain, flew over the valley, and then landed on another mountain that was covered in snow. Anyway it is one of the coolest things I have seen to this day, and this was almost 10 years ago in a Warren Miller ski video.
Even worse is that cross-platform games are now made for the lowest common denominator. Even though every PS3 has a hard drive and blu-ray, GTA San Andreas will be made to run on the wimpiest 360 available. This is significantly slowing down progress in the next generation, particularly for the PS3.
Is my application supposed to create its own subfolder, e.g. 'C:\Users\All Users\MyApplicationName'? If so, it looks like the installation program would need to explicitly grant permissions to this directory for any users who will share data. Is this considered an acceptable approach, or are we still breaking the security model?
What if multiple users (logging in under different accounts) share a single computer, but still need to access the same data? You can't write to the Program Files folder. You can't view each other's Documents folder. If one user writes to the AppData folder, then another user can't overwrite that file. How are multiple users of the same computer supposed to share data?
1. Very expensive 2. Standard copy protection software = standard cracks 3. Not really all that flexible
We made a home brew solution in just a few weeks that is far more flexible and still supports standalone installs and license servers w/ borrowing for offline use. It has worked great for the last 3 years and saved us over $40k in Macrovision license fees.
Waiting to take the test isn't always a good idea. A friend of mine had *just* finished several drinks before he hopped in his car and was pulled over. Lucky for him he complied and blew a borderline 0.08. It took a good hour before the cops let him go (a friend picked him up). Before he left, the cop suggested he blow again "just for fun" (good thing this was a nice cop) and he blew a 0.13, as the alcohol had more time to work its way through his system. He ended up *not* getting a DUI because of the borderline 0.08 result.
How do you get TIVO for $5 a month? According to their website it is $15/month.

I'm asking because my girlfriend pays $20....
"A verizon cell phone takes pictures, but I can't transfer them to my hard drive, so it is a broken digital camera."
You can send a pix message to your email address. I've done it with my Verizon phone. Not the most elegant solution for sending multiple pictures but it does work.
I write "See ID or DIE!!!" and 4 out of 5 will ask. Actually, they ask so frequently that I'm just going to sign my next card since I find it annoying now.
South Park, Family Guy, The Simpsons. Some of the most entertaining cartoons ever, and they all have very basic "graphics". I don't need to see the hairs on Homer's ass to laugh out loud. Its about style and substance, not flash.
I didn't see the episode. We have 2 groups of people, one primed with a yawn, the other not.
If the group is all in a room together, and one of them yawns, haven't they primed the group again? As soon as one person in the non-primed (control) group yawns, that whole group has now been primed.
Or did they actually confine each of these 50 people and observe them individually?
My PS2 also stopped reading discs just after the warranty ran out. When I went to Walmart and attempted to exchange it I was rebuffed. There is a serial number and a date stamped to the casing and mine was too old. They told me I could not return it under any circumstances.
So I bought a new one, removed the outer casing, then carefully applied my old casing to the new innards.
I slapped the new case on my old busted PS2 and returned it to Walmart. Worked like a charm!
Launch notepad.exe and look in Task Manager (yes I know). How much memory does it use? Roughly 2900KB. Now compile a.NET application that does nothing more than:
This uses 6300KB, and we have zero functionality coded..NET is freaking amazing when you need to write a complex system in a minimal amount of time, but there is a price. If Vista came out and suddenly RAM requirements doubled (they may still) we/.ers would tear 'em a new one.
Really, we're gonna tear 'em a new one no matter what they do...

Ironically, by playing Devil's Advocate, you are also God's Advocate.

My bad, not GTA San Andreas. Forgot what the next one is called.

I bet you never go 1 mile an hour over the speed limit either. Rules were made to be broken.

What is the full path for this directory? I can't find it (no AppData subdirectory under C:\Users\All Users). Your assistance is appreciated.

Parent says: "China" is not some collection of a billion evil people shooting at monks. Damn, that was funny. That is all.
IANAN (I am not a ninja, damn that sucks to admit), but a katana or ninja sword seems like a good balance. Much better than a pirate sword.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

In my 1995 Honda Accord, the 4 digit code can be found under the removable cupholder.

Last time I checked, MPEG-4 was not interactive. Perhaps somebody can direct me to an interactive MPEG-4 application?
