Exactly what I'm thinking. Gaming PC and Quiet PC are quite opposites, even if you only have cheap 20W speakers. If you can hear the fans while you're playing quake, you probably need to change servers.
Probably for two reasons - one the Suns are pretty expensive, and he is probably looking for commodity hardware. Also, RedHat stopped supporting SPARC with the 6.2 release. I like the 6.2 release on SPARC, but there are more current distros supporting SPARC that will be easier to update.
It is funny that as a child of the Star Wars generation, I look forward to Harry Potter more than the next Star Wars film. Phantom Menace just ruined my desire to see Attack of the Clones.
Others pointed out some great reasons why you shouldn't use telnet, but also seem to think changing the port somehow makes you less vulnerable to the primary attach that ssh was designed to avoid: password sniffing. The port doesn't make a difference, if someone is using packet sniffing anywhere on your line, chances are that they aren't listing for traffic on a specific port. They are looking for things like "Login" and then "Password", which no matter what port you change telnet to is still being sent in plain text. You may think it is no big deal if someone sniffs your password, but many root exploits require user level access first. And once they get in to one system, they are going to sniff all of your other passwords too. Someone might even send an email to you boss, as you, saying how much you hate him.
I suppose that depends less on the processor platform and more on the file system being supported on the software platform. Since it uses firewire, it probably acts like any firewire hardisk. But, the player may not be able to read every filesystem you throw at it, so it may require sytems that can read and write HFS+ and/or FAT32.
Most hospitals have very careful systems to prevent people from walking off with things, especially narcotics. They use fine grained accounting, order limits, supervisor approvals, etc. Sure, some could still slip through, but you'd generally have to be either collaborating with the patient or a supervisor for a lab. Even then, frequent audits would turn up a problem. Usually only when a problem arises does someone have to submit to a search. It is probably a little harder to catch abuse in a lab. But frequent audits would quickly find that key supplies were missing, though at that point it could be too late.
The boxes I've seen recently had large vent holes on the sides and/or rear and appeared to have a fan or two. Before the XBox this was primarily to prevent the TV or monitor from overheating though. I haven't made a conscious effort to look at an XBox demo, but the stores in my area often use the same displays for various consoles.
Precisely. It is worth mentioning that it works with other operating systems, including Solaris. While the kernel handles translation of system calls, you still need the binary dynamic loaders (e.g. ld.o) to use most system files.
Most ISPs have terms of serice which state that they have the right to a) determine what you can and cannot send and receive and b)terminate your service at any time.
That is like saying "before people realize the value of Pentium IV microachitecutre, there will be something better out there". Does that stop people from buying Pentium IVs? Does that stop Intel from developing Pentium IVs and future processors?
I have seldom used Outlook and do not have a Passport account, but I recall something about Outlook using Passport for authentication when checking MSN email addresses, requiring a client capable of using Passport. Someone care to comment?
The new materials are almost as efficient as
mechanical heat pump systems, but for applications such as refrigerators and home heat pumps, the cost must come down.
Women seem to like top-down games, such as War Craft (some network options), Pharoah (only single player though), etc. Generally the more colorful and the fewer explosions and bloodsplatters the better. But they also seem to love side scrollers. These aren't as popular on PCs these days, but Jazz Jackrabbit 2 allows network play. It came out a while ago and played beautifully on my sister's Pentium 60.
While the above post was meant to be humorous, it brings up an important point. The Taliban doesn't always utilize the most high tech tools, and for good reasons - they are often easy to track and/or detect. Instead, they are likely to use low tech mothods to hide their messages. Certain phrases, for example, in bin Laden's statements quite possible are intended to send an additional pre-defined meaning. This is something that only human reconnaissance can effectively decode.
I could swear I saw linux joystick drivers for the powerglove. The problem was you had to rig an adapter for it, and even then it wasn't useful for much as a joystick for linux. I guess you could use hand motions to control XMMS that way...
At one point a support rep from WD suggested "whacking the drive with a screw driver." I replied that I wanted a replacement drive, and was not going to whack my drive every time I wanted to start up. Whacking it just made a bad sound anyway. There must have been a managment directive to cut back on replacement costs that year... I sure cut down on replacement costs when I quit buying their brand.
I recall a very similar problem with Western Digital drives. Their 3-platter 1.6GB IDE drives would fail (this was circa 1995) at a very high rate. I RMA'd the first failed drive. Within weeks, the replacement died. That drive too was replaced, but the next drive was dead on arrival. Western Digital refused to admit there was a problem and replace the drive with another model (2-platter 1.6GB drive or 2-platter 2.0GB drives were available with similar performance at similar prices). The DOA drive made infuriated me, so I demanded a working replacement of a different model or a full price refund under state Lemon Laws. Because so much time had elapsed by this point, I had plenty of time to find others with similar problems with this exact drive model. The replaced the drive with a 2.0GB 2-platter drive which continues to work in a secondary machine I own. About 8 months later, Western Digital finally recalled the drives, admitting there were faulty parts in their 3-platter drives. I have not purchased a Western Digital drive since.
Great. As if it wasn't bad enough to share the road with people trying to hold on to a cigarette and a cell phone more than they are hanging on to their 3+ ton SUV. Now they are going to be catching on fire too.
I guess I should have phrased it a little differently. While it did leave some people to focus on one skill in all projects, the professors varied the projects enough that it was virtually impossible for a user to only ever focus on one or a few skills. The rule was invoked more to avoid grading less capable people poorly when they contribute more resources (esp. time and effort) to the project. Also, most classes where this rule was used, the groups were assigned at random. It was fun in some classes, like one where about 50% of the class was Japanese nationals. It was great experience, because otherwise people would tend to stick to groups of their own nationality.
If someone did stick to a specific skill and avoided learning how, say, neural nets work, they would likely bomb the next test. Also, few classes consisted solely of group projects.

If it is a casino, you want to be able to see finer resolution when a blackjack player slides a card out of his sleeve in under 1/5 of a second.

Never mind the joys of debugging a Win32 app, especially Win 9x apps.
Er i meant to to use most binaries, not system files.
That's what I get for talking on the phone while posting.

As well as those awarded stock options and cash bonuses at the top of those companies...
HELLO! Who are their customers?? Nope, not the listners, nope not the performers. Keep guessing!

Kinda like those shots of someone shining a flashlight through a bed sheet - err I mean shots through a night scope showing the attacks.
