Sacramento Kings and Intel Engineering Challenge
------------------------------------------------

I just found this competition on kings.com and wanted to sign up.. so I click the link and it brings me to the completed projects that I can vote on... so I watch some of the videos. simply amazing.

I must say I love the images from Galt HS.
Some bullshit about e=mc^2+4a and other scattered nonsense..

check out the video to see how the project turned out.

Can you believe how hard it is to find a quick cheat sheet for using mencoder (included with mplayer) to encode various video formats?

>> Ok, first of all, the dowloader for the updates - exclusively for Windows XP? Did Microsoft and EA Games have a behinds the door meeting because the crappy, buggy, full'o'holes OS XP sales are down? Another theory thought up from my next door nieghbor is that they hired a mentally challenged individual (a retard who doesn't speak liberal) and asked for his input at critical stages of the game remake - er - developement. Then once he was done giving him his heartfelt advice, they fired him like a steak on a grill.
>> All I know I recieved a game for my birthday I cannot play on Windows 2000 (My current OS). Thanks EA Games for excluding the few (I'm guessing here) who still run the reliable and non-intrusive (as far as I know) operating system Windows 2000. As for that NSA key, the CryptoAPI and the mysterious 3rd key in the encryption coding, I think it belongs to Mulder from the X-Files (See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/security/news/backdoor.mspx?mfr=true

Is there any flight simulator games out there that play the actual scream or wine of the jet engines as they are coming up to speed on the runway.Microsoft,s flight simulator X doesnt and I am very disappointed as that is the neatest sound of a jet engine.Micro soft simX stinks.

This Gentoo-based distro is going to be one to watch. Rock-solid stability and endless flexibility, all wrapped into a 3.3GB LiveDVD environment packed to the brim with the latest builds of the latest software. So then, what makes Sabayon Linux so special? I'm glad you asked.

The strength of this OS comes not only from the abundance of current software available, but also from its roots in Gentoo Linux, which has long been known for its adaptability and pure speed. Gentoo's portage houses thousands (tens of thousands?) of programs which can be installed, via source, using every setting specified in make.conf, using build options depending on my USE flags. Dependencies are all resolved automatically by emerge (best thing since sliced bread). Boot scripts are easily modified with rc-update (so far my favorite runlevel modification tool). System updates (Sabayon follows the ~arch branch) can be made as easily as 'emerge –sync && emerge -uvDNa world' followed by 'etc-update' which will keep my install up to date with the latest security patches, bug fixes, and killer new features. There are hundreds of Gentoo reviews online and anything more in-depth goes beyond the scope of this article. Sabayon provides a very capable "livecd" environment with tons of the newest software all pre-installed to accomplish work fast. If work isn't your thing you can always kick back and play a little Cold War, or Quake 4 as both

Cloning a hard drive is almost always the fastest and easiest way to migrate from one disk to another. There are several great programs out there that will do just that, the only problem is they're not free. Norton Ghost, Acronis MigrateEasy, and Partition Magic all have the required functionality to do this, but so does any bootable linux or *BSD distribution. Follow these easy steps and you'll be up and running in no time and still have a little cash left in your pocket.

Step One: Initial Configuration

I was thrilled when I saw Firaxis bringing out a new edition of one of my favorite Sid Meier's classics, 'Railroads!' Of course Railroad Tycoon doesn't quite stack up to the Civilization series, but it still entertained me for hours upon hours. First thing I did was look for some reviews of Railroads!, and found them quite lacking, which surprised me. So, trusting Sid wouldn't do me wrong, I went and bought Railroads! thinking I'd have a game to enjoy for some time to come.
