I also think that the only application of this is for volatile info that needs massive disk i/o... encoding of divx and such.
I believe all programs would benefit from 4gb of ram instead of a 4gb ramdrive, and i specially disliked the fact that altho you can buy a card wihout memory you can only use it with the ammount you bought it for (its "bios" is locked to that memsize) so you can't just go on adding mem.
I REALLLLY wish the guy(s) who wrote the article had at leat used ie a couple of times in their lives. This is exactly the thing that makes M$ say us OSS supporters are full of crap.
IE is not all evil, i use moz, opera, and ie when making sites, but usually i browse with ie. I like it. Sorry.
2) is this really good? some sites use popups to show important information, when it only blocks popup ads call me, otherwise i will still use hosts.
3) IE does it on closing windows and setting 3rd parties cookies
4) IE provides a list of all links in a document and all images in a document in a separate window (d/l ie powertoys)
5) CTRL-I
7) CTRL-wheel
8) fixed size is fixed for a reason (hence its name)
11) see 4
16) when clicking add to favourites, check the "make avail offline box" it works in reality, not in theory
23) The edit button is configured automatically with your HTML editors, dreamweaver, Homesite, TopStyle and SlickEdit currently in mine. So no notepad.
25) ie has this, error by error (tools, internet options, advanced, inside the browsing cat)
26) ie has a debugger, its a POS but its there. (same place as 25)
27) Ie does the same but it searches the web for that term (maybe part of the powertoys) currently using yahoo in mine (dont use it so i dont know if you can change this or not)
30) clck the search button then on customize, you can even choose an array of searchers.
31) ie does this since 3.0
32) ?? which ones use it ?
33) you must be joking if you think this is good.
34) ie does this since 5.0
36) ie does this since 4.0
38) autocomplete its there since 5.0
41) view source? so it uses notepad... takes 1 sec to open it.
44) ctrl-wheel changes font size, ctrl-shift goes back & forward
46) comes preinstalled (ok, not a good point, but what's easier than that). Its installed off the net if you dont have it.
49) mac has ie too so it is cross platform.
I got bored... all the rest are too technical. but i see it supports the tag... WOW ! and PNG transparency...
I read the same thing adn thought WTF do they mean by that.
The only combination i thought that would give me 4 DOF (obviously not 5 dimensional movement, which i wouln't be able to produce and/or see) is left-right (1) up-down (2) in-out (3) twist ccw-cw(4)
The out movement is really not that useful, you could use it to navigate a menu. like click goes deeper in the structure (normal click funcion) and pull goes back up. Tho i dont think many ppl would get used to that.
But where is the 5th ? i really hope those marketing doids didn't mean 4 directions + click. That would really suck. (besides being incoherent)
Yeah, well its open air 10mts so instead of 3 floors you have, at best, 1.5 floors centered on the device.
Remember that, in offices, floors and ceilings are covered with cables for telephone & networking and electricity. Which also helps to cut down on the range.
Bluetooth is a close-range wireless protocol (about 10mts), and products are "bound" to each other, if you re using a wireless headset and walk close to some one using one they wont mix signals. I would be much more worried to someone "stealing" my emails/contacts from my bluetooth pda, using my cellphone to dial out, and eavesdropping on my conversations, than messing up presentations
WOW ! What kind of keyboard was it ??? My Logitech kb/mouse work AT MOST at 10~15 mts, and only if their batteries are full.
I guess you might have a wireless presentation mouse, i have a gyromouse too, but i find it unlikely that 2 are used in the same office simultaneously.
No matter how much the EU tries to, its countries are not the same.
You have avg income differences, and most important consumer diffences and market penetration differences.
Prices should not be the same in each country, as these conditions are not the same.
If i live in Germany and i see prices are cheaper in the uk i simply buy in the uk, that is what online stores are for. Granted, this would also make the price difference pointless but i bet that online sales for nintendo games (bought mostly by parents) is less than 5%
Yeah i thought this too (made another post)... i guess we need to start saving to buy a pig after all.
So, first is having the genome on cd so i can xfer it to a pig and then a couple of pigs to overcome that 50% chances the article talks about. Gee... lotta money
If a living being has a human heart, a human liver, and human kidneys... is it closer to pig or human ? i mean, when do we stop ? wouldnt it be "easier" to just have a replacement human with say, no brain (so its not "really" a clone) living assisted by machines waiting for its parts to be harvested ?
I am having a kind of matrixy vison rite now, only its humans that own the storage facility.
AFAIK rejection rates from human-human transplants are quite high, and the search for compatible donors quite hard.
What did they do to surpass these two ? did they made them 100% compatible with everyone ? are they only compatible with the original human dna-donor for the pigs?
Should we start saving now to have a pig with our replacement liver (for beer) and heart (fried chicken & ribs) ?
It IS an ATAPI writer, that is what the A- stands for in this product line. There WERE S- ones but i know they used to make the S-01 and i THINK they made the S-02, but AFAIK that is as far as it went.
I think that the first macs that came with DVD-R came with an OEM S-01
ebooks will work as soon as there are viable, usable devices for everyone to read them on.
Pdas at $500 with tiny screens to read on won't do. Sure there are pluses to them, reading in total darkness is cool, it makes you more "attuned" to what you are reading (less distractions around for your eyes to wander). But they are not for everyone. And reading them on your large computer screen sucks for various reasons, posture is not inteneded for reading for one. ITs ok for manuals and on line help, beacuse you are using the program at the same time, but -at lest for me- ebooks? nah.
Free ebooks are another thing altogether. You download them cos they're free, and to "build up" an elibrary, it doesn't mean you actually read them all. Eg: I d/l all Verne's books and only reread 2000 leagues, and Journey, I have a jornada i use almost solely as a contacts and ebook reader.
When will they learn that in almost no situations security-thtu-obscurity protects no one but the "bad" guys ?
That they will still get the exploitz ? that Saddam has scientists of his own not ? that the publishing of biothreats could make the public more aware to tho them and start taking steps to prevent them?
That it even could work in the gov's favour, like a guy thinking back and saying hmmm this description fits what the guy sitting beside on the plane back from ---- was carrying in his briefcase.
The WHOLE point of terrorist attacks is to make ppl live in fear, terrified.
The attack/act/threat per-se is not the important thing.
That is why the attack on 09-11 (and the post anthrax threat) was SO effective, it shook ppl out of the safety they lived in into a world of terror. It "made" media blow things up out of proportion to feed that fear. More than 1000 times the deaths of the so called "anthrax threat" are killed every month in violent crimes in the US, so which one is a greater threat, and which one got more publicity, and which one made ppl afraid ?
Slashdot Mirror
True, the smallest ups would probably power this card for more than a week.
But i still would not put into this important information that i didnt have on another medium sowmehere else.
As you can see there: http://www.3dretreat.com/reviews/rocketdrive/page5 .shtml
The test used sisoft adn HD Tach for testing.
The speed is limited because of the pci interface, that is as fast as the pci was designed to work at.
I, for one, leave my PCs on 24/7
... encoding of divx and such.
I also think that the only application of this is for volatile info that needs massive disk i/o
I believe all programs would benefit from 4gb of ram instead of a 4gb ramdrive, and i specially disliked the fact that altho you can buy a card wihout memory you can only use it with the ammount you bought it for (its "bios" is locked to that memsize) so you can't just go on adding mem.
Keeps that data after the pc is turned off, which i bet your amstrad didn't do.
It has an external supply that keeps the card powered.
And i believe this is the whole point of this card, its pretty much useless otherwise.
Also the xfer speeds are limited to PCI (66mhz) speeds, that is why "its only" 2x as fast as a U160 scsi.
I REALLLLY wish the guy(s) who wrote the article had at leat used ie a couple of times in their lives. This is exactly the thing that makes M$ say us OSS supporters are full of crap.

You draw the three views T,S,F and the engine returns .... whatever it feels like it.
I drew a cylinder Circle, rect, rect, and got a locomotive engine (close), a tri-cycle (!!!), a couch (!!!), a bullet (close), a philipps radio (!!!)
These were repeated several times over too.
Looks like it still needs a bit more work
Yeah, well its open air 10mts so instead of 3 floors you have, at best, 1.5 floors centered on the device.
Remember that, in offices, floors and ceilings are covered with cables for telephone & networking and electricity. Which also helps to cut down on the range.
You know precisely when your wireless kb/mouse are connected.
They are wireless to a base connected by cables to the mouse/kb mini-dins or to usb.
That is, unless you have a blootooth-enabled motherboard and a BT kb & mouse
Bluetooth is a close-range wireless protocol (about 10mts), and products are "bound" to each other, if you re using a wireless headset and walk close to some one using one they wont mix signals.
I would be much more worried to someone "stealing" my emails/contacts from my bluetooth pda, using my cellphone to dial out, and eavesdropping on my conversations, than messing up presentations

I guess you might have a wireless presentation mouse, i have a gyromouse too, but i find it unlikely that 2 are used in the same office simultaneously.
You might be the first proud reader, but definately not the first reader. Read up ^
OHHHH i see, that makes MUCH more sense.
So why is it called price-fixing instead of free-trade prevention or something ?
That is exactly the point i was trying to make, why should game prices be the same when all else is different.
Hell, prices even vary inside the country ! i bet a taxi cab ride in London is more expensive than i a small town in Spain, same with renting a video.
No matter how much the EU tries to, its countries are not the same.
You have avg income differences, and most important consumer diffences and market penetration differences.

hehehehe ... good point :)
Yeah i thought this too (made another post) ... i guess we need to start saving to buy a pig after all.

So, first is having the genome on cd so i can xfer it to a pig and then a couple of pigs to overcome that 50% chances the article talks about. Gee
Wait ... there is NO WAY all that glorious foods come from the same animal ... who do you take me for ?
If a living being has a human heart, a human liver, and human kidneys ... is it closer to pig or human ? i mean, when do we stop ? wouldnt it be "easier" to just have a replacement human with say, no brain (so its not "really" a clone) living assisted by machines waiting for its parts to be harvested ?
I am having a kind of matrixy vison rite now, only its humans that own the storage facility.
Scary
I know the article says about overcoming rejection BUT human-human transplants already overcome all this. I mean ADDITIONAL measures
AFAIK rejection rates from human-human transplants are quite high, and the search for compatible donors quite hard.
What did they do to surpass these two ? did they made them 100% compatible with everyone ? are they only compatible with the original human dna-donor for the pigs?
Should we start saving now to have a pig with our replacement liver (for beer) and heart (fried chicken & ribs) ?
