You hardly need to spend $1200 to save your rig from the years-old consoles. Quad SLI is nvidia's top offering, not entry level PC gaming. A $200 card (and a $300 core 2 duo) can easily trounce anything the xbox 360 or ps3 can do.
Nobody ever liked bill gates.. he made his fame and first fortune writing Altair BASIC and trying to sell it to the Homebrew Computer Club. One guy got ahold of the tape and copied it for everyone else in the club.. nobody even understood that gates wanted to keep his program proprietary because that idea was just completely unheard-of.
yah it's a memory hog, but that's compositing window managers for you, including Compiz. Most problems are with backwards-compatibility, which you shouldn't really expect anyway. The whole OS is more mature; it just seems to be more complete than XP which had half the OS tacked on in service packs. Yeah it's bloated but I have the hard drive space. I have no issue with vista.
Definitely. I mean it's a cool looking app, but the "slides -> layers -> export" model.. i'm sorry, it just sounds like a terrible idea. Maybe some flash presentations could be done slide-by-slide but most can't, and without actionscripting it's pretty much limited to being nifty but useless.
But what when your parents are wondering why when you coasted through high school on As and all of a sudden you're getting Bs and Cs? Everyone thinks you're slacking off, but it's hard..
He's the only one who's proven his courage and loyalty under fire.
Who cares about his character, I want someone who will set sensible policy for this country and repeal PATRIOT and all those BS executive orders authorizing torture etc the first day in office.
Wait what? You're promoting censorship of the media?.. Yeah a ban on that because it's violent, let's blacklist those books since they're dangerous to the mental health of our youth, you know what let's just burn them to make sure nobody reads them...
It's one thing if it's someone who's actually doing something, like a businessman tapping on his smart phone making appointments or whatever.. but I completely agree with you, I can't stand teens who never stop texting. At least it's better than talking- talking in theaters and during speeches.. holy crap those people make me so mad, they can't keep quiet for one little hour. So I think it's for the best that all those idiots are venting into their cell phone keypads.
What does this have to do with wireless, and why would you ever watch a movie on your phone? You're right to be concerned about speeds though; as long as 2GB of DDR3 is wellll sufficient, there's no reason at all to use more expensive, slower nanowhastever memory
I believe how it works is that the browser just asks the server if the content has changed since a given time (If-Modified-Since).. if it has, then the browser won't serve it from cache.
Exactly. MAC addresses on the network are broadcast to the world.. if you have no network traffic whatsover they can always wait for ARP to make its rounds. An attacker can easily assume your MAC address and use your internet, and then your logs show that _YOUR_ MAC address was doing all that.
Nobody said they still had to provide services to pirates.. a WoW server doesn't have to let you make a character there without a valid account. Other forms of copy protection are completely worthless.
You should disable prefetching; a little-known fact is that cookies are exchanged when links are prefetched.. if you're on unsecured wifi (like my internet during the months I'm at school) all someone has to do is present you with a link to amazon or to wikipedia or to slashdot, and you don't even have to click it for the auto-login cookie to be exchanged. Those of you with credit card info saved on amazon, beware. ~~~~
JB is not CP. Seeing as how half of 4channers are 15, jailbait-clickers are just interested in girls their age. Anyway, the FBI should be trying to take down the monsters who hurt these children instead of spending millions on prosecuting people who just copy files around the internet.

WASD and a mouse are playability, not a little stick you twiddle around in circles.
Are these the same steroids that hackers are on? Couldn't that be a security risk?

Not as many as the fury-blinded MS haters would like to believe..
Yeah, you'll have one company offering satellite radio. And thousands of companies offering AM/FM radio, internet streaming radio...
He was spot-on in what would make him obscene rich, not what's right..

At least I can generate cryptographically secure pseudorandom numbers.. http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/11/12/1528211

"more" compliant? Either you're compliant or you're not and neither Firefox nor IE are.

Why would anyone ever use them? They're expensive and their AUP is absurd.
So we "wait and see". Well, SP1 has been out for a week or so now.. where's our news, slashdot?

And make no mistake- they're desktop environments. NOT window managers. Sheesh.
