HP (NYSE:HPQ) today announced the hp 49g+ abacus, the flagship of a new line of powerful abaci to be launched this fall.
Built for scientists, engineers, mathematicians, surveyors and students who need portable calculating power, the HP 49g+ abacus performs all the basic math functions the user knows. Total workspace includes an unprecedented 80 rows of 10 beads per, broken into two 40 row columns side by side.
Priced at suggested retail of $99.99, the abacus also allows for future upgrades via an included toolkit which allows the user to remove each side bar permitting access to the bead assembly for easy replacement of worn beads.
"The hp 49g+ is a powerful tool for professional engineers or college students who prefer the SB (Sliding Bead) entry mode of calculating," said Fred Valdez, general manager, abacuss, HP Personal Systems Group. "We've taken the original hp 49g and made it streamlined, faster and shellaced to prevent splinters."
It may need to run IE for some ActiveX crud. My game box still
has IE installed (alongside Firebird) for the MS updates. They don't
seem to like any other browser for me.:( Not that this is proper
behaviour in my eyes.
Whoops, forgot this was/. : Micro$hit iz teh ghey, f4gg0rz!!!!!
a really good comparison of the speeds of IDE and SCSI
drives
Oh please. With all due respect to the submitter and
Mr. Beekmans, this "comparison" ignores all sorts of other factors:
write caching, command overlap, rotational speeds, et al ad nauseum.
Yes, some of these are mentioned but a comparison such as this should
have hard numbers in a table not opinions.
Not that I'm suprised or upset that SCSI trounces IDE, but his
comparison is virtually meaningless.
There are many benchmarking suites out there, I'd suggest these be used
for the next test to provide some meaningful results.
I'd wager there are many more of these types of systems running important tasks than there are bleeding edge ones. The dot-bomb made people look at the bottom line ya know.
Olde News; Commander Bruce Maddox tried to disassemble Data in an
episode of ST:TNG entitled
The Measure of a Man. It
turns out AI is indeed sentient. Of course we all knew that, recall when
Data hammers Tasha Yar to multi-orgasmic bliss in the episode
The Naked Now. That episode alone proves that AI is more than just a
glorified lube-smeared vibrator.
Nothing to see here.. move along.. next story please.
Google should dump Google.fr and continue doing what they're doing. That'll leave the French courts with no one to sue nationally and will be another nail in the coffin for French xenophobia.

Just because I have a problem is that the reason to drop everything I know (basically my career) and start all over again at 30 years old?
I'm almost 38 and have no problem picking up new things:P
of course your concerns are valid, but learning on your own at home will have you looking for ways to apply your new knowledge at work.

What worries me is that Microsoft already overrides my wishes; if they think they've created the "holy grail", they'll be even more likely yo impose it on me even if I know it's not what I want
They can only impose their will on you if you let them. You can just say "enough" and move to a Mac, Linux, *BSD, et al.

What's wrong with tarballs? It's universal in the UNIX world. I don't want to have to install a port of RPM just to grab some source.

They can bypass the national security systems with a card but they can't get past the New York Times registration page.

Is NetRemoting anything like BackOriface?
Faster for pr0n, now if they could have a mylar-coated keyboard I wouldn't have to wrap the keyboard in Saran Wrap..
Just wondering, is anything worded or spelled differently in the British ones?
Yes.
In the US versions a book may say "Micro$oft iz teh gay" where the Brit versions say "Microoft iz teh guay, mate."
the core is small enough that it can be recycled easily. (It's about the size of a garbage can)
Who will guard these potential hundreds or thousands of can-sized reactor cores from theft by miscreants?
direct links to torrent files and movie files don't work in Mozilla (and Firebird)
I use torrent links via Firebird all the time.

Regardless of the things he ignored... 7 minutes to 1.5 minutes is a huge difference
Indeed it is but taking one small test's result and implying that the results can be applied across the board is misleading at best.

No joy here, it appears "bargainpda.com" uses "bargainisp.com"..
Actually the original Outer Limits had a similar story, it featured none other than Leonard Nimoy.
