This is kinda what AC2 did, you got your missions from Ubisoft's servers. Too bad those servers were DDoS'd the first week the game came out.

VAC works on the premise of not knowing. It makes it more difficult to see whether your program is evading detection or not when you cannot actively test it. VAC bans are time delayed, sometimes as long as week or so after detection. I'm sure they patch holes when they find them, but they're...

People have installed Windows 7 on some seriously archaic machines and have had it work, so it should be fine performance wise. PhysX is compatible, it's just proprietary 'technology' in the video card drivers that allows your GPU to render physical effects in 'PhysX' enabled games. If the...

Your issue is either latency or bandwidth. Fiber optic connections use electromagnetic radiation (light) to transfer information. For all intents and purposes, information on the internet should be travelling at the speed of light (if you work out the ideal latency times and real latency times...

I think the movie used the virulent version because viruses can edit a cell's DNA to force it to replicate its own proteins. The movie's idea was that a virus was used to reprogram cancer cell's DNA and either fix or get rid of them. How viable this would be in real life, I have no idea...

Repression is a Freudian concept, and most of his theories have been disproved. Traumatic experiences are actually more likely to be remembered due to your amped up state. Many therapists have been able to successfully 'plant' fake memories into people by using subtle suggestion and leading...

What about people with multiple personality disorder? Is it 'nurture' that has caused their brains to operate differently under PET scans when they switch between their different personalities? Why do Schizophrenics benefit from L-Dopa (until they reach a tolerance for it and develop...

MusicalFreedom is right, only applications that are multi-threaded will actually see performance benefits from multiple cores, even then that's just 3 logical cores executing different parts of the code a program requires at the same time. Otherwise, it just makes for smoother multitasking with...

What you posted is just the limit definition of an integral, it would amount to the same thing I thought; multiply the functions together, take the integral, evaluate at the initial and final points...unless I am completely forgetting everything calculus related already lol. (reading other posts...

that really depends on the function... if the product is a polynomial (ie. x^3+2x+3) you could do it in seconds @_@

What's so special about this integral? It seems relatively simple...you're just multiplying two functions together, unless I'm missing something... Derivatives are just slopes of functions, and integrals are just areas underneath (or between) functions.
