Yes, the video card is lacking for most 3d games these days.. It would probably suffice for HL engine games, but for Q3, UT, Tribes, et cetra, you want something with more gusto.
It's a shame that it there is not a BookPC sized unit with at least a PCI slot.
However;
These make real Nice home-entertainment centers.
I got one, slapped a DVD in it, 30GB HDD (fits my MP3 collection), painted the case Black, setup gIRder for IR remote control, and hooked it up to our exsisting Stereo unit..
Issa wery Nice!
As long they undergo a naturalization process, and follow the rules set within, then, as far as I am concerned, they can stay..
We (US) has enought illegal aliens to want to worry about ones NOT from Mexico and SE Asia.
Scary stuff about thier IM license agreement.. just another reason why I dont use IM's anymore (the main reason it is really cuts into your time when everyone you ever meet is IMing you..)
Although I love and use MySQL (with PHP and Nix), it is DEFINATELY NOT a full features RDBMS similar to Oracle. (last I saw, it didnt support Views, sub-selects, and a buncha other stuff).
Interestingly enough, we are starting to use Oracle 8i here are work, and it offers some neat things like running Java Inside the DB (which makes data-processing faster, but puts the load on the DB Server). Also Oracle instance replication is neat.. you can just have a buncha boxes running Oracle with something similar to Hot-Swapable Databases (think Load Balancing, which I know the MySQL ppl where playing with at one time)..
I'm no Oracle Expert, but it is definately More robust then MySQL / Access / MiniSQL, etc, but I would only consider it for Enterprise level apps..

Was it really needed to make a cheap stab at the Tax-Cut plan?
It relates to this story HOW?
The quote stated they ran over budget, alot of projects that are over budget get canned.

If you are under 18, it might be partially becuase of legal age of responsibility (in the USA anyhow).
Since you are below the age of legal ownership/responsibility, they might be afraid they have to cleanup anything you do.
of course they could just be bigots too..:]
Seems to me like TUCOWS was trying to provide a Service, however, they probably got enough Bitch-letters they they decided that it wasnt worth the effort.
Espically since most people crusing for BSD stuff probably dont click banner ads, so TUCOWS was doing it pretty much at thier expense (well, mostly at the expense of people that mirrored TUCOWS).
Just another prime example of the Few ruining it (and speaking) for Everyone....
(like so many examples I can think off... ACLU, AACP, NOW, etc..etc..)

Where I work I am part of a 'Web Team'.
There are 5 of us, 4 of us are all in the same office (big office).
We are also pretty much segmented.. I'm the Web Apps Developer, we have a Gfx Artist, the 'Webmaster' who takes care about all the magerial overhead that comes our way, and a Training/User Rep who takes care of talking and training to all the users.
We seem to get more done simply becuase of the communication factor.. we can just tap the other guy on the shoulder and just say 'What did you call that form post variable again?'.
Sure we play UT as a group sometime, but we also get some interesting conversations going about 'What if we do this?' kinda stuff.. impropto meetings if you will.
Overall I think that we are more productive then if we just all lived in cubic's individually.
It's not thier machine down.. they are just making a funny.. try http://www.2600.com/kevin/ If it was that machine, it wouldnt work.. however it still forwards it to the free kevin site..
Well.. understandable, but what happens when all the civilian power stations, taken over by the miliatary becauses theres got hacked, get hacked? Then the civilian population becomes effected.... Or, what happens when the military takes over the civil air stations and use them, then they become military targets.. Hospitals loose power (generators only last so long), airports loose power = crashes, homes with power means people will become sick from spoiled foods, drink contaiminted water, etc.. War is War.. the GC is designed to prevent the killing of people for the sake of killing people... regardless both the military and civil populations suffer in a warring faction, the question is to what extent..

A. the universe is getting larger
B. Matter/Engery cannot be created or Destroyed, only covert states
Therefore, We are we infact destine to Heat Death or Cold Death of the Universe?

Funny how things from the past come back to bite you.
