i dont know the specifics, but the strongest argument i've heard against dualism is that there would need to be some exchange of energy between the physical and non-physical worlds, which could lead to a violation of the conservation of energy.
Neither HDDVD nor Bluray downsample for non-HDCP displays.
there's an article in this month's maximum pc about trying to get HD-DVD/Bluray (dont remember which one) to work on the PC, and IIRC, the movie wouldnt play until they plugged in a brand new monitor. InterVideo would freeze up after 4 seconds and display an error message. there's a photo of the error message in the mag.
oh come on. Doom deserves much more than an honorable mention. It may not have brought the FPS genre forward in a technical way, but it certainly drew much more attention to the genre than had ever been there before. how many of the FPS games around today would still be here had doom never existed?
Bytecc makes a usb to ide/sata adapter for about $30 that can basically turn an internal drive into an external. with today's plummeting HDD prices, this would make a cheap and easy way to backup large amounts of data.
it can sometimes be a little quirky, and it probably isnt reliable enough to be used as a makeshift external drive, but it's definitely adequate for backups.
Crysis is a DX10 game and will not run on anything but Vista.
the article says that:
Although Crysis will support both current and the next version of DirectX, Crytek claims that only DirectX 10 allows the game to run as it was intended by the developers
does that mean that we'll be able to run it on XP? anyone?
I agree. ZA may not be totally secure, but it does give me a lot of info about what's going on at that moment; info that i might not know until much later, or i might never know.
for example: after i installed the nVidia drivers for my new card, ZA notified me that Apache was running and trying to accept connections. Apache? Excuse me, Apache? Dont get me wrong, Apache's great, but there's no way in hell i'm letting you install a web server on my PC without my permission. i promtly shut down the service (which was located in a sub-folder of the nVidia folder) and uninstalled the optional ForceWare package, which i believe was the culprit.
needless to say, the only "free" energy they found was just "free to me" in terms of money, not in terms of physics. there were only 2 sucessful ones that i remember: the electrical grid siphon the parent mentioned, and a rediculously impractical solar generator that involved a large wheel of propane tanks and a pool of water (heated by solar energy).
no-one ever notices he's running OpenOffice, not "the real deal".
that's certainly not always the case. i had a major project senior year of college. we collaborated on a presentation in PPT. the first guy worked on his stuff, sent the.ppt to me, i added my stuff and sent it to the next guy.
at the time, i was using linux as my desktop, and added my part in OpenOffice. unfortunately, the first guy added animations to each slide which apparently werent handled in OO. since the only one who had seen it with the animations was the first guy, we didnt catch the problem until minutes before the presentation.
the article doesnt go into enough detail, but i dont think it's claiming they they're controlling or measuring all the axes at the same time, but just that they're not limited to a single axis. that would seem to make sense, if they're planning to use an electron for a single bit (up=1, down=0).
i have some other questions though: for one thing, are they realling claiming they can "lock up" an electron? doesnt that imply that they know both its location and momentum (stationary) at the same time?
yeah, you can't use it to send information because you cant control its state while its entagled with another electron (at a distance). once you affect it in any way, it's no longer entangled. it's just that, when you first measure it, you know that what you've measured is related to the state of the other electron.

anyone have the mag on hand? mine's at home

yeah i thought that at first too.
i started thinking, "sweet monkey balls, wireless with usb hubs? i bet i could use this to geo-track that fucker that keeps stealing my packages"

1950? they're certainly not a leader in the naming-convention department.
that was a good one.

when i first heard about quantum computing, i figured they were trying to move from a binary to a ternary system: on, off, and maybe.
