All joking aside, Scott Berkun visited CMU a little while ago on his book tour and made a really great presentation. I've read the first few chapters of this book and it seems to be a great accumulation of his knowledge, which I would say is significantly more than the average PM considering where he has worked, and what he has worked on.
Hi. I wrote the article, thanks for your input. I refuse to buy dell cases because they're made specifically for DELL OEM motherboards afaik. I am no professional - this is only meant as a how-to. If you would like to try to do this better, please do.
I have an original radeon - I've always felt that ATI makes crap drivers... Their chipsets, if you ask me, are on par with NVIDIA's, it's just that their driver support is crap... If only they actually let 3rd parties develop like they said they would...
Intel has always been a dirty player if you ask me... They have done everything to crush opposition - from TV commercials to getting pushy with the competition... Now they're making false rumors. Wonderful.
Personally, I think it's not only quite funny, but a great way to get people involved and interested in perl who might have only glanced upon perl before.
What I'm wondering about this is how Townshend expects to support more than a few people on that connection. Let's just say he has cable. If 1 person is playing Counter-Strike, or any bandwidth intensive game for that matter, and has 5 other people surfing the net, this guy won't have any bandwidth to spare. And mind you, this is all coming from his own peronsal line. I don't know many people who would just go ahead and give away bandwidth to anyone for the hell of it. Regardless, for this kind of thing to happen everywhere would constitute either a huge non-profit organization with lots of funds, or government sponsoring...
Seeing as the linux kernel can only be compiled on a 286 and above (as far as I know) I don't think it has been done yet. Then again, OpenBSD might have done it... They might not be linux, but they've done pretty much everything.
"ENIAC got the glory. UNIVAC went to work" and look where we are. Calculators that can do the same work a computer that took scientists massive spaces and long years to make. It's kind of scary in a way.
Everything2 just goes to show you how truly special the online community is. People go out of their way to make a login, so they can write some funny stuff on a topic, bash some of their enemies, and give everyone a good laugh. Everything2 (In My Humble Opinion) is a fine example of how the Internet community truly is prosperous, and good-hearted.
Well, I guess the other factor was that I think the price is WAY out of most people's league... and if it isn't, then I guess it's fine for them, but now that 19" CRT's are a little more affordable, it's easier to have the luxury of more screen space
I must admit that this seems like one kick-ass monitor, but who needs this kind of monitor? The *only* time I could see someone using it would be for video or image editing... Samsung just seems to be showing off. Any ideas?
Personally, I think this is quite a well written article, contrary to what others may have to say. Who can say that they wouldn't mind to know if a link was broken? Or if the page hadn't loaded just yet, and the we browser made it a little more obvious? The protocols implimentation is also a verry well written part of the article - the W3C mentioned a lot of issues that would be helpfull to not only programs like IE, but also Netscape. I think that mozilla especially should take a look at this list, and be able to support most if not all of the specifications laid out by the W3C - although some of their suggestions are a bit... far fetched. Connection intensive actions, such as trying all the DNS entries *might* be a bad idea for someone who is on a modem.
Granted, the Amigas were always ahead of their time in OS and in hardware, but what about now? The market has changed from the type of computer to now how many MHZ you can boast that the processor runs at. I think that Amiga will have a hard time selling to new customers. Along with that, I did not notice any sort of price, but hopefully, they will be cheap... Amigas were always awesome.
It took me a minute to register exactly what lucas did when I read this article, but it has made me realize, lucas has been edging toward technology more and more every episode. Jar-Jar Binks was computerized and now another major character, R2D2 is going to be digitized. Despite the fact that it is being recorded on digital cameras, it seems that Ep2 is becoming more and more digital and more and more like a digital movie instead of the traditional movie with FX.
I'm all for the G.N.O.M.E project, but I think that with Nautilus, integration is being taken much too far with Mozilla. It's almost as if Mozilla is to linux as IE is to windows. Integration is now forcing everything into one application, which makes everything that much more complicated, bloated, and stuffy.
I personally run a Pentium 66 with *16* megabytes of RAM and an Ne2k-PCI card to the cablemodem, and it seems just as fast as if it weren't there. I still get *outrageous* download speeds, and if you really think that it will be to slow, you can always just select 'computer is too slow for bandwidth' in kernel configuration. I definetely advise that you use that 486dx.
I just started to learn how to program this year, that is really how to program through my schools' Comp. Sci. 1. We learned BASIC and then VB. Now I'm in the middle of learning C and I believe that even though Visual Basic has a lot of very disturbing requirements, it can teach the user about loops, output, input, arrays, different data types and even pointers. Strangely enough, my experience with VB has helped learning C because I understand all of the basic concepts. VB might not be a good language to use for everything, but it is a great language to start on if taught right
Black and White is kind of like a god simulation. You are a sorcerer and through that sorcerer, you can controll the life in the eden, or as the official black and white homepage puts it, "Seventeenth Heaven." Black and White is a game that is not easily surpassed, and if it is to be open sourced, should be a great addition to the myriad of Linux games.

That's real appropriate.
