Too much FUD is going around these days.... anything that kills plants must have some kind of detrimental effect to humans as well. Well, in this case, I think the scientists at Monsanto have done a good job at engineering a weed killer. Roundup isn't just a weed killer, it's a plant killer. And does so by preventing the plant from harvesting air. (like strangling someone)
What makes you think everyone gets to work 40 hours a week anyway? My boss probably gets to work 40 hours no more, but most of his subordinates (like myself) are required to work as long as the job gets done, and usually this is more than 40 hours a week. It would be really nice to only be able to work 40 hours a week. EA Games isn't the only place where developers are used. I could quit and find a new job, but then I'd probably find more of the same.
Never know, that "kid" might be Korea's new top starcraft player. Those guys make a lot of money.... probably not as much as professional sports here, but still fairly high paid. See Lim Yohwan for details.
It's just like those kids that eat/sleep basketball and refuse to get a job. Sure only 1 percent become professional, but those that do, make good money.
As of 11:07pm EST, they have collected $11,000 and they claim to be officially sued by the MPAA. I really don't think the media is going to say "LokiTorrent was sued by the MPAA". More likely, it will be "MPAA suing P2P providers"
It might be funny now, but if you look at the current crop of MMORPG games that are out there, you see that it's the trend and will continue being the trend. World of Warcraft for example, was only released a week or two ago and there are already a million people in the universe. At work (in real life) lots of the discussion among the age groups of 25-30 are about these immersive 3-D MMORPG type games... so it's becoming an entertainment trend. Maybe in the future, these environments will become so realistic, there will a lesser need to own hobbies or interests in real life. In the future maybe we'll just come home from work and jack in like in Snow Crash or The Matrix.....
Is that the same Perfect 10 that was started by a Stanford professor? I remember seeing it on TV once, that the Stanford EE professor took a sabbatical and started Perfect 10. Also interestingly, Google came from Stanford as well.... maybe there's some rivalry going on?
well someone needs to donate an operating and living heart so we can reverse engineer the process. Are you willing to donate your heart to the community process?
Hey just because you only use 1 expansion slot doesn't mean everyone else is just like you. Some of my machines are packed with SATA-addon cards. Unless the motherboard comes with 16 SATA connectors, I don't see how this would be possible without expansion slots.... then there's my security-camera computer where my slots are filled with composite-capture cards. Are they gonna come out with a BTX standard with 16 SATA connectors and 5-on-board bttv chips to support 20 composite-video connectors? yeah I didn't think so.
My guess is, you've never supported a family before and you don't know how difficult it is to find work in the gaming industry. There aren't many small game companies alive anymore unfortunately...
RTFA. They aren't referring to the programmers. The group being exploited are the artists, background effect artists, lighting, modelers, and other types of artists. These people are exempt from Section 88 in California law. I hear most programmers in EA are treated fairly well, but since the artists are exempt from this law, they can be exploited freely.
I have! I'm a gruntled employee. If you're happy at your job, you're a gruntled employee. Of course, it doesn't make for a sensational article headline unfortunately.... "Happy employees enjoy their happy job, news at 11"
Wait, but these guys that are being exploited aren't developers. According to the article, these are "animators, modelers, texture artists, lighters, background effects artists and environmental artists." I'm sure it's possible to find good artists in other countries as well, so why hasn't Hollywood outsourced all their artists?
If you RTFA, you'll see that the spammer also committed fraud. He received 10,000 credit card numbers ordering a $39.95 so-called "FedEx refund processor" that would enable people to sit at home and make money with their computer. The guy could have made $400,000 from fake junk.
yeah, but SATA cables are just so much cleaner. And since almost all modern motherboards now have onboard sata connectors, why not SATA? They should have SATA drives with backwards compatibility to IDE, not the other way around. Sure you can get a fat IDE-to-SATA converter, but who wants one?
Agreed. I'm using a 1990 Honda Accord radiator that was bought new off of ebay. It was the cheapest radiator that was still new. I use it to cool a total of 3 computer and 2 video cards. The hose adaptors to keep it from leaking were purchased from home depot. I bought a $40 500gph pond pump from petsmart to circulate the system... works pretty well.
yeah like I want a cat without hair... like Dr. Evil's cat? Honestly speaking, if you tally up all the cat owners, you'll find that very few of them have naked cats. I know quite a few cat owners and none of them have naked cats.... it's just plain stupid!
Parent post is true! This is the main reason why lots of handheld devices were not able to control usb devices for the longest time. Even right now, there are few PDAs that support usb-host.
Honestly, if you're gonna spend $500 on a pair of earbuds, you might as well get some Ultimate Ears instead. They're the lowest end model of the ultimate ears, but from I hear, they knock the socks off the ER-4S buds. They're custom fit to your ear whereas the e5cs, is universally fit, and doesn't stay in the ear that well (I've tried).
No you don't want the Sure e5cs unless you like bass music a lot. They're overpriced and basically crap. Just take a look at the frequency response for the e5cs for yourself. The low frequency is way high and there's a lot missing for the high frequencies. I've tried them out and it's not that great... not much better than the iPod earbuds at least. The iPod earbuds aren't that bad (as far as frequency response is concerned), but if you want good isolation, you should get the Etymotic ER-4P headphones instead. I've got a pair of ER-4S and I can't see headphones getting much better than that.
Man a single node is $20,000?? I could build a pretty good opteron system for $2000.... so the other 18 goes to the interconnect? $2 million is a lot for only 200 processors.
hey I built a water cooling system outta parts from Lowe's and I am proud of it! I bought a 1990 Honda Accord radiator on ebay for $30, lots of different sized tubes from Home Depot for a total of near $50 I think. I spend at least $50 on stupid little hose adapters to fit everything properly, $80 for two 500gph pump from Petsmart (I wanted two for redundancy, but one will work just fine), 2 Zalman cpu waterblocks, 2 Zalman gpu waterblocks, and a $2 jug of pre-mixed radiator coolant from Walmart. The radiator was so big, I didn't need a fan to cool it off! The whole system pumps 1.5 gallons around cooling 2 processors and 2 video cards across 4 computers. Works pretty well... wish I had pictures to back up my comments with though...
Maybe... but then the xbox is big and won't fit in your pocket. This thing looks like 2-times the size of a normal hard drive. I think a big factor here is the size of the device, not the power, price, or bang for the buck. For $185 sans the monitor, it's actually decently priced.
I could see people sticking these things in cars because they could easily hide the device under a seat or in the glove compartment. Since it has usb slots, bring that 1GB usb storage key chain and you have a relatively cheap mp3 player. Add a usb camera, and you've got a miniture security device. I'm sure the thing runs on pretty low power so hooking it up to the car battery shouldn't drain it too badly.
Yeah the only one I see is the knoppix one. And the first link is just a page of more links, however most of the links don't help the parent post much. We're looking for a distro for network booting, or at least a cd-image that would make it super-easy to setup. (both sides, the nfs-root side, and the client side)
What if I got debian on my router? and now I want to have another computer minus the hard drive? Those links don't make it seem *easy* for us users that just want to make it work. I've done it before after reading lots of how-to documents, but I think someone could create a set of shell scripts to help us all out....
