Of course, Basho must be read in æ--¥æoeèz to be fully appreicated. Truly the only way to appreciate them on the level intended by the author is to experience it in the original language.
Nintendo's ratio is about the same as any other company - 1 in 30. That's for the gold stuff. Everything else is dross, or a renter at best.
I consider myself a game freak but I am not happy playing all the drivel that comes out anymore. I just don't have time to play everything, so I only go for high quality shit. Not to demean anyone else's standards, but I am the sort of person who picks apart a game as I play it. There are a few titles that stand out as impressive, though.
There are PS1 & PS2 games (yes, both count together re: backwards compatibility of the console) that are obscure but highly sought after. There is virtually no aftermarket for 'last-gen' systems and especially games from other companies (sega being the exception, but until they make another console I will consider the DC to be their current gen console).
My point was such that the act of 'integrating' everything together in the traditional Microsoft fashion leads to more instability. As the complexity of a system expands, so does the margin for error, quite often logarithmically. By keeping the non-critical functions of the system seperate from the critical one (kernel), and enabling other processes to be restarted gracefully after a crash, greater system stability is acheived.
At this point, the best tactic for IBM is to sit back and watch SCO alternate from making wild threats and accusations to blithering incoherently. They have already 'walked the plank' and all IBM has to do is poke at SCO, and then they are gone.
I don't know about that. Most of the haiku that I have read is pretty freeform (Basho, Issa, Buson, Shiki), and if anything generally they contain seasonal or naturalistic references. Not always, though.
Haiku, in the modern form, can cover any of various subject matter.
It's easy to give out information to a bunch of parties, under NDA, and then find out who is leaking it. You just give very slightly different information to each party. The cost is substantial, but you can plug the holes pretty fucking fast with this techinque. Governments have been using such techniques for millenia.
You could always have cron unmount your NFS drive at like 4:55 or whatever, assuming you are on the clock. Alternatively, you could look at/Developer/Documentation/Carbon/utilities/PowerMan ager/Power_Manager/Power_Manager_Reference/Enumera tions/sleepQProc_Commands.html on your drive, assuming you have the dev tools installed, and have your computer unmount NFS before it sleeps.
When plugged into the wall, my Powerbook never sleeps. I just have it dim the displays and spin the drives down. The processor / board together use very little power.
2) - Dual rpocessors give a 70% speed increase at best. Few programs are optimised for them so the biggest benefit you get is when running multiple programs, so going with a 30% increase would be a tad more realistc.
Maybe you meant to say that dual processors process 70% more information per quanta. Dual processors offer a tremendus increase in apparent speed, because the user waits less for processor time.
Apple has been making more and more of the OS multithreaded, and has been using the vector unit in many new and novel ways. Given the fact that the standard timeslice on the Mac is 1ms, compared with 10ms for the Intel architecture, you already have a machine that feels faster.
There isn't any difference between the desktop G4 and the mobile G4. At all. They are the same chip.
Try that with your Pentium 4. Oh wait, they did, and then called it 'SpeedStep.' In other words, the Pentium Steps your Speed DOWN when on battery, making it mHz to mHz slower than a G4 laptop.
M.A.C. means Media Access Control. So, to have your computer on an Ethernet, you need a MAC. Are you saying that every person who has ethernet sucks balls?
You are an ignorant little smegma pile. Mac isn't an acronym, it's short for Macintosh.
Has anyone done any temperature testing while running FreeBSD? I know Linux runs cooler than DOS, but have never seen a mention of FreeBSD. It seems to run really hot.
A. No, but we have done numerous taste tests on blindfolded volunteers who have also had 250 micrograms of LSD-25 administered beforehand. 35% of the volunteers said that FreeBSD tasted sort of orange, whereas Linux tasted like purple haze. Neither group mentioned any significant variances in temperature. We eventually had to throw the results of this survey out entirely anyway when we found that too many volunteers were wandering out of the room during the tests, thus skewing the results. We think most of the volunteers are at Apple now, working on their new "scratch and sniff'' GUI. It is a funny old business we are in!
At the zoo in Portland, the polar bears engaged in a bizarre, ritualistic dance that they repeated endlessly. I watched the smaller bear walk backwards around a cement habitat element (pillar-like) and then walk backwards over behind a log, do a strange gesture, and then do the whole routine forwards. The larger bear would sit on the log and very slowly swipe at the smaller bear, alternating with frenzied tearing at his log.
I was photographing them, so I noticed the behavior repeating itself, and I asked my girlfriend if she noticed anything strange. She confirmed that the bears were doing a ritualistic sort of routine. At first we kinda laughed, and then as the bears just kept repeating this same pattern over and over, with almost robotic precision, we both began so feel pretty sickened. It seems to me that they have pretty much gone insane.
I DO have a problem with integrating the browser into the OS. The more things that are in the kernel (which is how Windows appears to run so fast) or effectively 'strapped' to it the less stable your system becomes. Explorer is going to be running in the background ALL the time, doing all kinds of shit and still probably sending out mystery packets to MS.
The more shit you have strapped together, the more shrapnel you get when it goes boom. It's the same with computing as well.
No. Use CF RAM cards as they have considerably faster write speeds AND use far less power (no spinning platters or moving heads). Microdrives are sweet in the gee-whiz category, but I don't want one whittling my battery down like crazy.
Slashdot Mirror
Naw, by common agreement and study of the design the G4 is generally much more efficient per mHz than the P4 is.
Stating obvious facts, and correcting someone in error don't a fanboy make. Trolling untrue shit on slashdot doesn't change this.

Right. I think this should apply to any public official. There should be jail time too!
While i'm at it, I want a pony, too.
HAH! I would argue that the S/N ratio of PS & PS2 games is a little better than Nintendo, much better than Sega and infinitely better than Microsoft.

For most tasks, the problem isn't the memory, it's I/O blocking. It takes some sweet hard drive setup to saturate even the 167mHz bus of the G4.

The last estimate of released PSX games I heard was 4500 worldwide.
Kinda makes Nintendo, Sega, and M$ seem like the bastard stepchildren of the videogaming industry, where Sony is the 'momma bear.'

Huh? You are a fucking astroturfing troll turd. Thanks for the lame attempt at letting me know what's up!
You can always bypass the agreement by getting someone legally unable to agree to push the button for you
No, you can't. That is punishable in a myriad of ways, depending on where you live.

Not really. The EOS 1Ds and the Kodak DCS14 or whatever their new '14' megapixel interpolated images both give 4x5 a serious run for their money.

Bribe a judge and then

It's your day in court.
That is more like 5x the limit (25mph in rezzies).
