YES! I agree wholeheartedly. It took me learning a foreign language to understand my mother tongue (English).
One thing I find interesting is how mainstream English, as compared to scientific writing, contains many misplaced modifying phrases. The meanings of those sentences sound okay spoken because we mentally move everything around. In writing, on the other hand, those same sentences sound really awkward aloud with the phrases rearranged to remove ambiguity.

Not good enough, I don't think.
I'm seeing remote ports 2140:2144 being used to attempt to connect to port 443.
So, I'm denying port 443 incoming and monitoring all outgoing unaccounted for udp. (Yes, we were infected.)
AMD's Opteron won't reject unlicensed content - Ron Goldin - Fri, Sep 20, 2002 - 10:46 AM
Palladium... just that word sends shivers down my spine.. but it seems AMD is trying to smooth things over a bit and take away the shakes.
In fact, according to an AMD UK representative, AMD's Opteron products will run any kind of content in the future -- contrart to the report in The Age, on which our original report was based. Part of the content in The Age failed to distinguish between comments Moorhead made and conjecture, AMD said. [emphasis added]
Source: The Inquirer - More Information
Update: AMD has contacted The Inquirer and indeed Opteron will not support Palladium. Apparently that was some creative writing on the part of the outfit that posted the story.
...when I heard that they were not going to do Linux support right off the bat.
I thought I had read that they weren't even planning Linux support at all, but seeing as how they needed OpenGL support en route to a Mac version, they decided it was convenient to produce a Linux version. After searching for the "official" statement, I found this post from the man himself Mark Rein:
Here are the answers to some questions I've been asked:
"Why did Epic waste time supporting Linux?" - it is NOT a waste of time. It is absolutely crucial to have Linux support for the server and seeing as we found a very competent programmer (Ryan C. Gordon) to take on the client side job we decided to go full steam ahead with the client as well. We were already going to have to do OpenGL support for the Mac version so it made sense. Linux support has not impacted the development of the core game in any way. There was never any specific plan to release a Linux client at the same time as the Windows client ships but the timing just worked out that way. I wish we had known earlier because I would have liked to indicate the game is Linux-compatible on the box like we did with the original UT. But at least we'll have the support in the game and that's what really counts.
"I'm a Windows XP user - why should I care about whether there are Linux versions or not?" You should care because we estimate that about half the servers for UT are currently run under Linux. This is why I said it was "crucial" to have Linux support for UT2003 on the server side and personally I think that if we're taking advantage of an OS for the server then we should have a client implementation as well. I played UT2003 on a Linux system the other day and it rocked. It feels the same as the Windows version in terms of performance and robustness. Linux users will enjoy the game and all users (Windows/Mac/Linux) will enjoy having more servers to play on. Linux support in UT2003 is a win-win for everyone.
I tend to think of this like solving a many-body problem: you cannot obtain an exact solution. Analytic or numerical approximations, yes perhaps to an exent, but it's still not exact.
Isn't this a technology that could be combined with dual bank motherboards?
Aw, you stole the idea I was gonna post:)
I was also thinking of signal integrity, which the Kentron FAQ only partially addresses. As a skimmingly understood this, QBM works by sending information "under the wire", so to speak. So QBM is only as good as the memory bus is slow. Therefore this technology is fundamentally limited, given mainboards speeds tend to increase. However, given the apparent difficulties with DDR400, maybe the limitations wouldn't really be hit for a while yet.
I had noticed that reviews of the
Radeon 8500DV (with TV tuner) card pointed out that its bandwidth is a smidgen slower than the regular 8500 (without tuner). I think ATI said this was because they used slower memory (4 ns) on the 8500DV compareed to the 8500 (3 ns?) to give it an afforable price point. So if you're right, a separate PCI tuner card might give good TV without hindering 3D performance for other things such as games.

Aw, man, now look at what you've caused. I gotta dig out my atari and play asylum now.
You could easily knock off another 1000 USD by building the computer yourself. That's one of the more expensive (read server) dualie boards out there.
Plus it would be nice to be able to script the creation of the images to make movies. Can The GIMP be made to do this? So if you were able to avoid using Windows XP and Photoshop, my guess is that you could really come close to having a sub-10k setup today.
Perhaps I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, but this topic is bringing out the worst in
me as I am really tired of created drama.
1. Is there any wonder why this study is coming out by two companies that have needed to save face in recent times on safety issues?
2. If UWB devices are unlikely to appear in consumer products, why worry exactly? There already is a rule against operating a laptop during takeoff and landing procedures.
There is another form of image sensor called a CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor, and it is usually used in cheaper devices like web cams, or digital cameras under $100, since it's much cheaper to manufacture. As a result CMOS images generally worse.
You lowered the value of their asset, you owe them for damages. The money they won't make for you.
Yeah, but that could simply be called capitalism.
One obvious counterpoint to my comment is the undercutting of the competition by using monopolistic practices. I don't know how that gets decided rigorously (if possible). But I think there is a range of company behaviors, ranging from your Starbucks and Borders who some say undercut the local mom-and-pop stores, to places like Walmart who some consider to be a very good competitor due to the sheer volume of product they can push. I guess it comes down partly how the public perceives the companies' actions and partly on the legality of the marketplace practices.

Yup, that. The move The Wizard of Oz (1939) marks the beginning, I believe. It was the first film ever to use Technicolor.

Why does it have to be installed at the system level? Why not automatically install it in the user chrome directory?
I'd say that a sphere is a special case of an ovoid.

Given the communication gap between generations, there is one way to grade such students:
Written at the top of the student's paper, in red ink, is Congratulations, your score for this test is '23r0'.

I'd settle for a 280 lb. gecko anyday to replace that 300 lb gorilla that has been sitting on me since - oh - about the time Windows 3.1 came out ;)
