You can't get an Athlon from Dell. They are an Intel shop and have been rewarded as such. They also have supply problems when Intel can't keep up but Michael Dell said that he will pressure the distributors to make sure he gets his supply and screw the little guy(He still blamed the Taiwan earthquake on Q3 99 stock loses even though it happened 2 weeks before the end of the quarter). BTW this comment is being typed on a Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop.
Except when you start dealing with international entities. You asked for it when you where using and international system (Domain names on the internet). I think that this is as wrong as can be. I hate squatting but I still think it should be first come first served. Let them register corinthian.br
They call them Hyper Voxels. I'm not sure if Newtek thinks that makes them better or not. They can produce some very cool effects with water and even fire if you do it right.
I was under the impression that they were using stills for most of it and using the shots as key frames and animating between shots. they used more or less frames in between to regulate the speed. I need to go back and check it out. I could be mistaken.
I used to expand my Apple II's as much as possible. Thanks to companies like Applied Engineering who made this possible. The IIe had a memory expansion of 512k, an RGB card and Phasor (midi/sound card). I loved Phasor because it had this speech program that would speak whatever you typed. It sounded terrible but considering it was a IIe in 1987. My IIgs had 1 3/4Mb RAM, 60Mb external HD, MIDI keyboard connected, battery backup RAM disk and 2400baud modem. I used to have Applework GS loaded in the RAM disk and boot to it.
I remember when Paintworks Gold came out for the GS and required 1 1/4Mb of RAM. People were complaining about needing that much RAM. The good old days. Both computers are still running today and my mother is still trying to use the IIgs for everything even though I built her a PC a while back.
I haven't owned a Mac but my brother-in-law has exposed me to them again. He does use the dual PII box I built for him. It is running Maya 3 and I wonder if he will get rid of it when Maya for OSX is released. I like what I see in the G4's. I might buy one if I have some extra money but I think I will get a Geforce2 GTS and 900Mhz Thunderbird for my Athlon first.
Linux support for Maya right now is only for the batch renderer (certified for RH 6.1). Starting with version 3.0 you can use across unlimited machines without needing more licenses. This is cool because it was released a short time ago for version 2.5 and they wanted $1300.00 a pop. They are coming out with Maya 3.0 for Mac OSX which should be a killer product too but no news yet about linux.:(
Plus you will need to multiply that by every combination of your name. m1crosoft, notmicrosoft, microsofteatsrabidmonkeys, and on and on and on. Buying up all the possible combinations would really put the value in their stock.
You could only certify for all ditros if you have enough surface area on your device for all the stickers. A fully supported NIC card would probably overheat and eventually fail because all the stickers are holding the heat to the chips. It would look worse than all the sponsor stickers on a Nascar. A good idea but probably not likely to happen. Maybe it could work if we used those metal stickers (like Intel inside stickers). Then a well certified product would have a killer heat sink.
Then don't start there but work your way up until you can get there. I realize that I am a long way off but I will get there because I'm going to keep on going.
I was thinking a rack of these would be great for a render farm situation if you can get your PPC renderer going on it. I would love to see this for Maya. {drool}...............{/drool} The possiblities are exciting.
You could also take a look at Super Micro's 840 Slot 1 boards. They have 2 64bit 66Mhz slots, Dual CPU, available SCSI 160, etc. I'm going to build a transaction web server with one of these boards in a couple weeks. We'll see how they work.
I work at a $600 mill bank and we run Unixware on our Unisys mainframe and a lot of other banks do to. But it isn't Linux so maybe your point is valid on that part.
Unisys mainframes run Unixware/MCP. I wonder if that is anything like Unix(duh). Their Clearpath mainframes also have an NT enviroment that run simultaneously (cool if you have to run NT for some reason). There are more than just S/390's out there.
Obviously Ebay runs on one machine so you must be correct. If the only machine you checked is the web server then you didn't check much. Did you bother to check the database servers or just the front door?

I didn't get to the sites before Apple.

Beat me to it.
Do you have a website with more details?
