If it actually uses DX9 functionality, it will simply not do well on low-end graphics cards. To make it smooth, they would have to stop at DX8 capabilities, in which case even a low-end GeForce 5200 is enough, or make the interface 2D. Speaking from experience here, I had one of those 5200s until recently.
Ditto. While I love a good strategy challenge in Civ, the most fun I've had in a long time was when my younger brother (in his 20s himself) made me play Call of Duty II.:)
So you actually agree with the parent post that said "Encrypt your files." What you suggest is that Google could provide the means for users to do it conveniently.
But since Google is on the Internet, you might want to find a different way to encrypt your files, and not tell Google what encryption you used (or that you used encryption at all.) Just in case some agency of some country asks for you files.
Nothing like letting someone else encrpt my files automagi... err.. automatically. What can stop them from making an unencrypted "backup" copy first? Trust anyone on the Internet, yeah right./sarcasm
i actually thought the increase in oil prices would probably help this technology along. the only thing anyone has questioned about the process is the cost efficiency of making oil from thermal depolymerization versus the cost of just buying it from opec countries and/or successfully mining it from the oil shale in canada. i think the depolymerization method obviously has a lot more positives in its favor.
Unless you can make it operate without most (or any) external energy sources, it has no positives, really. It is then just as dumb as using methane (fuel) to pump oil (another fuel) out of the ground (hello Canada).

You mean like the dialogs with one button saying "OK"?
Except that by "enhanced" they might mean "nerfed", if is so suits them. It's been done before, no?
It is no vaccine, nor a one-time treatment, so ou can hardly call it curing.
Perhaps that is the point. Got to keep the business going, no? (Too bad this is only partially a joke.)
Ditto for music.
Soo, how long does it take for those railgun-propelled shells to get to the target once fired? Say, at half range.
If they are used for ground support, the ground troops can do that. Maybe better than a long-range system.
Are you really suggesting a destroyer would be using exclusively shells, and have no other offensive and defensive weapons?
You are probably right as to being on the Mars. Getting there seems to be the difficult trick at the moment.
But all it did, was providing job security. ;)
Somebody the Force forgot to take into account?

Well, ATI offers software that allows you to use the GPU for computing physics. The method for offloading CPU load is indirect, but there you have it.
Faster he would not be, methinks. ;)
Dude, you have to think big. You have to think mechs. ;)
Which means this is a PR interview, one in which you just do not mention the bad stuff (as in giving no authorization for some questions.)
Hiring consultants, maybe?
It is not Firefox, methinks. Try disabling your JavaScript blocker. ;)
Maybe in America, but hardly in Europe. Even 50% could be considered low around here.
Why not lie in the key and in the algorithm? Is there something wrong in providing yet another layer of protection (even if it is a small one)?
