I do love the Supermicro 750/76x cases. I've built dozens of systems over the years with these cases and they just get better. I loved when they dumped the drive rails and added redundant fans in the power supply. You can move a hot running system over to these cases and it will run much cooler. Great air flow and cooling without needing all the fans available
They are a local band that has been doing moderately well. With a name like track10, it would be hard to find much of their music on a file sharing program. You would be flooded with hits of albumns that people were too lazy to put the correct titles on.
Maybe you can try 802.11a then to get your wireless off the 2.4Ghz range and on the less used (for now at least) 5Ghz range. The extra speed would be nice too.
There is logic in that arguement. If your system is 100% Microsoft but pirated, sooner or later you will buy something for it. Lot like drugs, first one is free but they will start squeezing you after you are hooked.
Quartz Extreme Jaguar dramatically improves the performance of Mac OS X with Quartz Extreme hardware-based graphics acceleration. Quartz Extreme takes advantage of the OpenGL 3D graphics engine to make the entire desktop a fully accelerated OpenGL scene. A supported* video card can then render the drawing of the desktop, just like it would a 3D game. The main CPU chip(s) can then focus on application-specific needs, making the whole system faster and more responsive.
That means your shadows will drop quickly, your genies will appear slicker and your transparencies will layer faster -- and Mac OS X can do more processing in the background while you move the foreground
*nVidia: GeForce2MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 Ti, GeForce4 or GeForce4MX. ATI: any AGP Radeon card. 32MB VRAM recommended for optimum performance.

When they start want to use the latest software they will want to start making OS X the default. Good thing it is so easy to change. Forced change isn't good but at least they can focus on OS X and make it better.
If you look at the benchmarks a little more closely you will notice some things. The Athlon XP 2100 is right behind the 2.4Ghz/533Mhz models and ahead of the 400Mhz bus ones. All this on a chip running 1.733Ghz.
When the Thoroughbred core CPUs starting cranking up the clock speeds then even the fastest P4 will have to look up. The P4s were benchmarked with RDRAM motherboards which aren't available yet but will be here soon. If you want a fast system that is here now then get the Athlon or spend some more money and get a P4 that is going to be close to the same performance.
I thought VGA meant 640x480 resolution. SVGA generally means 800x600 but could be taken for anything over VGA. Neither has anything to do with color depth.
All kidding aside, I've always told the rabid Photoshop benchmark fans that speed in one area is only a piece to the puzzle. You have to look at the bigger picture overall speed, stability, usability, etc.
I have a Quicksilver with OS X on it and OS X just gets better all the time. There definitely was a slowness to it but each update seems to make it run a little better every time. While it hasn't been as quick, it has been rock solid and all the apps I've tried have worked well. Network browsing has been my biggest complaint.
My conclusion is OS X is good on a G4 but my rev D imac and 8600 will continue to run linux/OS9.
I have a couple USB Macs, PCs and an ADB Mac too. I've thought about different KVMs and adapters but decided to build a new desk instead. I built a decent corner desk with wings on the sides. I put my main PC in the middle and keyboards and monitors out on the wings. I often use X2X, X2VNC, VNC, X, etc. but sometimes it's nice to have a local connection.
This all was working good until last night when my brother-in-law told me his boss is thinking about giving me one of their old O2's. Where the #*^%$*$ am I going to put a SGI box now? It's a problem that I'm happy to try to figure out. The Old World Mac is slowly becoming a file server and I can free up some space but I would have to start over if I picked up an Alpha and a Sparc. Oh to be a geek
Sounds like you wanted more than a drive replaced. If you want a replacement then you should have RMAed the drive. I just went through this process on an 8 month old IBM 40Gb and I paid for the shipping there and they did the rest. Sure the process took 3 weeks instead of 1 week like Quantum (Maxtor) but it is very smooth. Expecting data recovery from a storage vendor is a little silly for high volume/low margin product. You might expect it from someone like EMC or Sun but you would probably have to buy a support contract even then to to get it.
If you could throw the cost of the drive out the window by voiding the warranty by removing the top then *why* couldn't you have put the money into a second hard drive for some mirroring?
I'm glad these people finally figured out a definitive way "TO KILL PEOPLE", "TO DESTROY OTHER PEOPLES PROPERTY" and "TO RECRUIT TERRORISTS". It would appear according to your arguement that it has been their opinion on how to do it up to this point. That must be why they are finally cracking down on it. They finally got it from opinion to fact.
MOHAA rocks but it wants pretty good specs to run well. I've been playing it online for a while now and ocassionally go back to CS from time to time but I love this game. I see Jedi Knight 2 is out and I'm waiting for Unreal2. So much fun and so little time.
There's a reason they don't show any other benchmarks. Other applications are not at that same level and would severly alter the results. Photoshop is highly tuned for the Mac and it should run well. This is great if you run Photoshop all day. If all the other apps out there were as highly tuned then I would be the first to say that Macs smoke everything short of a Cray. Sadly that is not the case. I saw some raw data on some of these benchmarks and lots of areas had to be ignored to produce the numbers that Apple wanted to show off. The facts are numbers can be twisted if you try.
I think Macs are fast and have three sitting at my desk at home but my Athlon is quicker at a lot of tasks (besides kernel compiles).
I've really taken an interest in the 802.11q stuff on Linux with all the VLANs here at the college. I was wondering about compatibility issues with Cisco equipment. Does anyone have some experiences to share with this?
Can someone use a linux box w/ 802.11q enabled try to spoof into another VLAN they aren't supposed to have access to?
I'm really thinking about those kids in the electronics lab. Their lab is physically segmented but they have other access in other labs and the dorms.

Uhm, don't you mean 10.1.4?
10.2 hasn't been released yet.

P.S.
I'm not bingo.
Star Wars: Cut arm off at bar
Empire: Cut Luke's hand off
Jedi: Cut Vader's hand off
Menace: Cut Maul in half
Lucas seems to be consistent. Is it going to be EP2 or 3 that Anakin gets it so bad to need the life support suit?
I have a feeling lots of apendages are going to be cut off in the next 2 movies and I don't mean castrating Jar-Jar.
Amazing that Ep1 got a PG rating then, huh?
The Casio E-200 also has built-in CF and MMC

GPU= Graphic Processor Unit. There you go.

Of course you could always do this for a little more.

Seems similar to me. People said the same thing about P3 and P4 but they are now shooting into the same market now.

Just leave it on the board and send me the whole thing.

That's some weird protein weight there. Of course you were right about this one.
