Personally, if every modded Xbox out there exploded and put the people using it in the hospital for 6 weeks, I would do a happy dance at all the cheaters and losers who would get to suffer.
I have an Executor3 in my xbox. Have never gone on xbox-live but love playing the retro games ala nes, snes, colecovision, atari, n64, apple ][, c64, et al. What's wrong with that?
Sounds like you need some anger management, it's only gaming.
Computer Boulevard is a steaming dog pile. Ever notice how they sell POS systems but don't actually use one? I asked someone about that once "Too many SKUs" he said. Riiiight. My theory is that it's done on hard-to-trace written bills to rip off the tax-man.
I go to Computer Avenue for almost everything nowadays. Fellow there named Jason is a real nice guy and won't bullshit you. Fun to talk geek with, my gf loves going there with me:)
The cards are running gigabit. What type of physical stuff your layer 1 is is irrelevant and you still have the speed hits associated with ethernet and IP above that.
I really think he though they were equal to or better than the Intel & 3Com cards and was just trying to save a dumb customer some money. His motives were fine just misguided.
Of course
there is, assuming the card performs as advertised. Sheer conjecture:
the card likely has a lot of the smarts onboard. Maybe it has some of
the TCP and IP stuff on board too (checksum, etc). Compare that to a
crapbox $10.95 RealTek[a] card which generates interrupts like mad because it has no smarts and
you'd probably be very suprised. (Think of comparing a decent hardware
modem to a software based WinModem.)
[a] I had a sales-drone at
Computer Boulevard here in Winnipeg just RAVE about RealTek cards. I
said I really wanted 3 Intel or 3COM cards for a new work proxy server
and he said 'Why? RealTeks are way cheaper and run at the same speed!'
Retard.
FTA (emphasis mine) This does not alter the right to make a personal copy (including a P2P download) but does set some tough limits on what users are entitled to do with those copies.
That will be next on the entertainment cartel's radar.
Thanks. Now that brings back horrible memories of an Electronic Arts game from the early/mid 80s called "The Standing Stones". A truly terrible, stinky game. Now I'll have to wait another 20 years to have my mind purged of that brutal thing.
I'd love to try BSD, if I could find a place where I could download the cd images _quickly_ (any of the official BSD sites or mirrors maxed out at about 45KB/s) and without corrupting the iso (the one fast site I found had crapped out images).
OpenBSD doesn't have official ISO images for download. You can download a floppy boot image which will install the rest over the net at decent speed. Or you could buy the CDs which gives you the OS for several platforms, source, many packages, some stickers and an immediate karma boost.
Personally I'd suggest trying the FTP install. Once. If you like it then by all means support a good project and buy the discs.
Yep. Unfortunately when a cool tool is invented it's pretty much inevitable that some greedy person will come along and try to find a way to go far beyond the intial purposes for profit.

FtA: "The whole industry is in discussions with Apple, and we hope to
have a solution soon," he said.
The "solution" he wants will lock
Apple's customers into the music cartel's own brand of DRM. How is that
solving anything for the consumer? Fucking prick.
Nowhere in
that article does he say "Linux is for losers" or use that label. The
headline of the story rhetorically asks that question, way to generate
flamebait, Forbes & Slashdot editors!
Now I'm going to get a coffee and
enjoy the comments which will probably not differ much from "Theo is teh
ghey! L12nux r00lzzzzzz!!!"
Since reverse engineering is under legal fire, the authors figure the best response is to make the knowledge widespread...
So why not publish a single HTML tarball or pdf file rather than a bunch of hyperlinked documents? The "knowledge" will spread faster... (unless I'm blind and didn't see it)

A fr1st pr0s7 from an hour ago! Woo, too bad they rejected my article on making your own home-brew TARDIS...
That's a lot of modchips that have to get made.
My bandwidth use would be reduced considerably as the thousands of goatse.cx images would be coming from my internal proxy.

I did, and I replied yesterday! :P
ah, I'm retarded. Thanks :)
My advice, listen to all the +5 comments, and do the exact opposite.
I really hope your comment gets to +5. The connundrum of doing the opposite of the opposite will make his head explode.
Heh, no kidding. Does anybody believe in starting at the bottom and working their way up anymore? Self-importance is a career killer.

New site? Doesn't matter, it's a local paper. My online banking is covered by Canada's privacy laws. They can't sell squat.

Macrovision is an analog copy protection system.
