not really. they can still use the same algorithm, it'll just take longer. it might work for a while, but it's not a long term solution.
plus, cryptography is very resource-intensive, growing exponentially with key size. there comes a point when it's just not practical to use a key that large, as it will take too long to encrypt/decrypt/generate the key.
that example explains (kinda) how the two balls "non-locally affect each other": they dont. one is red, one is blue. so if yours is red that doesnt make the other one blue, it just tells you that the other one is blue.
but, a quantum ball is both red and blue at the same time.
this is how i think of it: when you entangle the two balls, you reduce the possible realities to two: yours is red and the other is blue, or yours is blue and the other is red. when you observe your ball, you're "choosing" between those realities, not the color of your ball.
probably true. i'm almost certain i've read that there was a successful experiment at a distance of around 10 or 11 kilometers, but with electrons or photons.
$150 will get you an nvidia card that will handle any game on the market at top settings.
no it wont. i spent $400 on an 8800GTS a few months ago, it's closer to $360 now. there are quite a few games that i cant play at max settings without < 25fps at 1920x1200: stalker, dirt, quake 4 (IIRC) etc.
yes, $150 will get you a fine card. but the ridiculously priced cards do make the games look better. if you have the money to blow, why not?

Well, first of all nobody makes multi-player/single-monitor PC games
not true. NHL 2007 accepts multiple gamepads. a friend and i managed to play it on the dvr-pc that's hooked up to my TV for about 5 minutes, at which point i shut it off before the 640x480 resolution made me vomit.
it's an interesting concept, and someone should definitely look into it, but i dont think it would go over too well with pc gamers.
what you'd be doing is forcing the user to turn their computer off and temporarily turn it into a console. one of the advantages of pc gaming is that at any point you can pause the game and your pc is right there in front of you.
also, the extra time spent booting up and down wont be well received. years ago i dual-booted windows and linux so i could play games, and i hated it. eventually i stopped gaming all together. a couple years later i missed the gaming, and switched back to windows:( .
if the kid really does have ADHD, there is nothing the parent can do. parenting skills cannot offset a learning disability. a much better bet is to load them up on caffeine, sugar, and other stimulants.
trust me, it exists. and in severe cases, it can be hell. just because you have no trouble concentrating doesnt mean that others who do are faking it.
ATI is apparently discontinuing the all-in-wonder cards. there's some major incompatibility with the drivers and Vista that they cant find a workaround for, so they're stopping them all together.
i tried this last night, and it worked great for me in feisty. and schedules direct is finally accepting sign-ups, so all is well. you get a free trial period (1 week i think) before you have to pay.
how would that be any different than sites like torrentspy? they're basically just search engines. they dont host the content, and some dont even host the.torrent files.
ad servers do not affect your browser's traffic with the servers, but it does affect the display of the page. you can view source of the HTML and it will all be there, but if there's a script tag pointing to an external source, it wont display anything after the script tag until it downloads the external file.
that sounds like it would be a problem for ad scripts, which generally use document.write(). if the scripts executed after the page loaded, i imagine the ad would either be at the bottom of the page or would overwrite the whole page.
this is especially bad in IE because, IIRC, IE doesnt display a table unless it can display the whole table. and many sites put all of the content inside one giant table for layout purposes.
owned/hosted by this guy. this "web design" site is hosted at the same IP address as whyfirefoxisblocked.com, which explains why it, too, is quite slow now.

i think you're confusing quantum physics and relativity. Einsten didnt believe in, and tried to disprove, quantum physics, but i dont believe he ever questioned his own relativity theory.
"God does not play dice" is about the inherent randomness in quantum physics.
Myth isn't an application, it's an appliance operating system that happens to borrow a lot of Linux code.
huh? i'm hoping what you really meant was: Dont think of Myth as an application, think of it as part of an appliance operating system that happens to borrow a lot of Linux code.
explain "maintenance". i've had one for about 6 months now, and the only maintenance i've had to do with it is reboot once or twice a month because the the channels turn black and white and the sound is gone. once or twice a month, i'm totally fine with that. now, if it happened every day or so, that i would have a problem with.

that sounds eerily familiar...

nope, that's not it. the article it points to is on the same site, but this is the article i was thinking of.
also, this one, which points to an article i also submitted a day before.
so... we evolved from cockroaches?
