It does work fine, but not fine for multitasking IMHO. Maybe some would disagree, but Most techs I know recomend 1G now. It's not a question of wether it works, it's a question of how well it works. Ram is cheap, get 1G and save hassle for later.
My most notable expierience is with a 3.0 ghz Cellery machine w/ onboard video running 1600x1200 resolution on an intel board w/ a 40G HDD and 512 Ram. Running only outlook, and McAffe in the background, it's pukely slow. Dropping another stick made a HUGE differance.
They should move in to my neighborhood. 800 breakins is a weeks work for these crooks. Of course now the crooks steal from other crooks and only end up getting their own stuff back!
If we were close to the top, oil (gas, plastic, etc.) would be alot more expensive. Heres an interesting thought. How come the differance between Unleaded and premium is still $0.20? We're not even close to european costs, and the fact that fuel is still fluctuating up AND down instead of just up.
A barrel is still cheap. (which tells me that we are approaching the changing point (which is still very bad, we are not at the peak) Economically we are in a bull market, which usually doesn't happen when oil spikes.
Trust me, I freaked out about peak oil for years. I still have a bug out bag.
Disclaimer: I am no scientist, or analyst. But after working charts on charts the truth is, I can't see anyone freaking out on peak oil untill america pays > $6 a gallon. We are 1/2 there now, but fuel prices are falling back.
Keep your hats (tinfoil) on, but DO NOT PANIC. Just plan for it. Use less now, so you wont feel squeezed (compared to your neighbors) later.
Is peak oil (crises described by peakoil website) a potential reality? In my opinion it is, but not likely. Not for a long time anyway. The more time we have, the less likely it is that we will have an actual crisis, but obtain technology to avert it. Until gas hits $6/gal, I'll be sitting just fine.
[conspiracy theory for ya] Besides, you know all those technologies that GM and Ford stole/bought in the 70's? They'll just start USING them to increase fuel economy on a scale as they see market demand for it. [/conspiracy] happy now?
I don't recomend than 1024 for any of my clients even if they are just websurfing. Mostly because if you add a virus scanner to an otherwise clean install, the machine drops to a crawl.I'd sell a pc w/ 512, but only after disclaiming the caveats.
Although it is harder to get 133 sd chips, they are on craigslist a lot.
if you look carefully, you can see the left and right ends both have the bulk of their "curve" in the middle, while the tops have their curve nearer to the peak. I can't remember what the switchpoints are called. Calc was a LONG time ago!
While I think it's a big problem, and Oil is a bell curve, we are still using it faster and faster, (on the growing side to the left of the curve) we havent hit the 1/4** way mark yet, but are damn close. Once that hits, then panic, but slowly.
Hopefully new tech will emerge while we are in the 2nd 1/4 of the curve, approaching the top. (that is how it usually is with finite resources. At least in StarCraft...) Just kidding about the SC ref. As we approach the top of that curve, we "set the bar" at the top of the curve, and that becomes the bottom for the "New" tech. as the new tech gains momentum, fuel use goes down. This should happen pretty evenly.
Shit hasn't even started to get bad yet, but with the announcement of "no new refineries" you have to wonder if we are at the switching point for the 2nd quarter of the curve.
**If you draw a belcurve, you actually have four parts of the curve. The curve on the left 1/4 facing up and back, the next 1/4 facing down and right, the next 1/4 facing down and back, then the last 1/4 facing up and right.
Agreed. The agrument goes something like this: If your pirating something your not necessarily in the market for anyway, would they have made more money if you didn't pirate?
The implied answer is NOT AT ALL The rhetoric sounds like: Plus they get increased exposure for when they are in the market.
I think for the most part this is true. I wouldn't go out and buy Bryce or PhotoShop, but if I could get them for free, I might play with them a bit, maybe even enough to inquire more about them and learn to use the product in a way that I could later make money off of and buy a license or 2.
Remember, computers are cheap. Practically free now. Software is the expensive part. Hell, I can't GIVE AWAY 1ghz machines these days save for the occasional freak on CraigsList, or older person who need E-mail. But I have more requests for uhm "1's & o's" than ever.
P.S. Chef Boy R 2 D 2 should make binary speghetti O's then they can copyright programs their customers inadvertantly write!
While much of it is a "rip" it was done in a new way, and told such that it was engrossing enough to pull it off. Really, it comes down to the fact that people who prefer the fantasy genre expect certain things to be there, and so they are.
The Sword, Elfstones, and Wishsong are the "other three books" I'll reread in my lifetime.
At first I thought you were a raving lunatic. Now, I know it. But seriously, I agree. The police are subversive. They use psychological tricks. Prosecutors, judges, and the police will all but force you to plea to a lesser crime before letting something go to trial.
I once knew this guy who was charged with reckless driving for racing. Normally, it would be no big deal, cause he probably would have been racing... but this time it wasn't so. Every time they defined racing, this guy was adamant that he was not driving in that manner and he was not.
The thing is when he got to court, they made him FEEL guilty. The other driver claims yes, I did it I am sorry, and didn't fight at all. The judge asks about the other defendant he wasn't on trial yet but due up next, and prosecution says he pleads not guilty. Then the judge APPLAUDED her taking responsibillity for her actions. It was her actions that put this guy in that position in the first place! He tried again to explain the situation to the judge. Telling the same story as he told the prosecutor, and the police officer, and the judge didn't care. For somereason he decided it wasn't worth fighting, knowing He'd only get Neg2 at the max so he changed his plea, paid the fine and left.
I witnessed the court proceeding and was taken back at how they treated him, and how pleasant they were to the girl who wasn't even telling the truth! The PA was really a !#@^ to that dude, and kept trying to put words in his mouth, interupting him, and belittling him.
He was speeding, but not RACING. He did try and slow down a car that was going well over 70 mph in a 35 zone near a couple of schools, by blocking and keeping in front like a nascar driver might defend his position. Damn maybe he was racing.... except he was trying to slow things down, not speed them up.
I have a G-15 from logitech. I dont' sit at it typing all day, but it's backlit keys and LCD screen are great for what I do at home. It also has 15 programable keys that can be assigned to one of 3 custom definitions (M1,M2,M3) for a total of 45 key definitions. If your looking for a typing board, I prefer the MS Natural Pro. It has a great feel to the keys and is very comfortable.
Those odds are going to be perfect for this new "potential for weird things to happen propulsion system" or PFW2THPS. I think the fact that this "engine" will be built is the same exact #!
My car, a 1999 pontiac firebird has >2x the horsepower 1/2 the 0-60, and gets better highway fuel economy as speed INCREASES from about 24mpg @ 60mph, up to ~ 115 mph, where it levels off at about 30mpg. (don't ask how I know this... I refuse to incriminate uh someone who did the research...)Granted, around town it's about 18-24 depending on how often I step on it. That engine design is over 10 years old now.
I do agree w/ you though, and once the Tessla roadster comes down in price, I'll go get one of those.
I could live forever and not finish all those damn quests.
But if I did, I'd have 1 uber decked out char for transfer!
Seriously though, The comments about WC3 and SC are well regarded, but did anyone say anything about UNREAL Tournament?
I'd take that in a heartbeat because UED would at least let me escape into any world I could imagine.
It's a sweet, easy to use level designer, and it's a common platform. In fact, it'd be SWEET I could replicate the island, so when I am discovered, I'd could copyright the map to it. or I could recreate places I had been before. Maybe make my house, complete with a wandering cat that does nothing but piss on my stuff and meow louder than every other ambient noise.

retrieve byte zero of KEY XOR it with byte 84 of SEC and treat the result as an integer OR it with the hexidecimal constant 0x100 and store the result in t1
I once listened to the whole thing. I found it interestingly artistic.
The FDA sponsored the studies trying to prove that eating fat made you fat. They were unable to prove this, because it's not true - it's the combination of carbs and fat that are the problem. French fries and onion rings are basically the tools of the devil.
If french fries are the devil, than I am going to hell. I have a little irish in me, damn leprechauns, and If I don't have potatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner I get irate. Life tends to loose meaning. I just crawl into a corner and play WoW. However, when I get potatoes for each meal (usually 1 consisting of frenchfries) then I just crawl into a corner and play WoW.
No but seriously... Are french fries the devil? Why didn't Christ warn us?
