The problem with solving problems in the shower is that I find I roll into work with at least one part of my body neglected. Typically it's my hair. I'll be so caught up in what I'm thinking about, it won't be until hours later that I realize my hair was not, in fact, cleaned as it ought to have been in the mornings bath experience.
Anyone else have this problem?

You've already had one. There's been a theory that NASA was coloring the all of the images Red, and that the sky is really blue just like earth. Of course this theory was rapidly debunked Here. But hey - no one seems to be happy with the truth.
Almost everyone who has posted something contrary to the parent has been modded down.
What the hell?
All I say is this, prove that sun is better than dell, or really, and other server manufacturer. The funny thing about machine reliability is that it can be measured. No need to guess really.
It's ridiculous that people like the parent's poster gets modded up for throwing up some unique personal experience that then is used to support some stupid stereotype that may or may not be true.
The AMD64 chips aren't just "64-bit" they run significantly faster than the 32-bit AMD counter parts and Intel friends. Even as we speak, the 3400+ which is about $380 USD is as fast as the $700 p4 3.2 EE. One of the areas that the chip shines is gaming as well. There is a 64-bit version of XP Pro in the works. The one featured on their site is a different product built for the Itanium architecture.
Yes. There is very little difference between the 3000+ model (512kb) and the 3200+ model (1MB) in almost all real world gaming benchmarks both chips take the p4 3.0 and 3.2 to school.
That's very astute of you, though I never said that XML was a standard for data interchage. I simply said that it has done something for data exchange.
Data exchange is a broad reaching topic, xml has revolutionized the way people access, store, and retrieve data. Though, XML is not exclusively used for data exchange, it will enable different platforms to communciate with each other with a common vocabulary, a pre-requisite for ubiquitos computing.
My point - it's now 2/3rds the cost no matter where you are. On top of that, you have other options. Granted 1500 bones is a lot - the price will come down simply because internet connectivity is a utility. Before long, internet and the providers of will be like electric companies, telephone providers, and natural gas suppliers. Internet is a commodity product, as are CPU cycles on a network when you have the appropriate infrastructure built.
But I still assert that, for the most part, they haven't a clue how to leverage that into a product or service
It isn't a product or service, it's an architecture it's a way of connecting machines together in a way that they can off load some of their processing, or seemlessly access processes (for example a print house to print 5,000 customer notification letters).
No one pays much for those ideas. They pay for tangible products that come in a box.
Look at dial up networking - back in the day it would cost 30 beans for a dial up account. Now there are some parts of the country that you can't give the crap away. Becuase it's become a commodity. The "idea" there was internet connectivity, not necessarily dial-up. My point is that dialup isn't worth anything anymore.
The thing is - EVERY ONE is going to agree on a standard for interconnecting machines in this fashion. Kind of like what XML did for data exchange. No one really cares how they are all connected, just that it works.
They are taking IBM to court - so that they can get the most recent versions of AIX to compare to Linux. Huh? Don't you need evidence before you have a case? From the stuff on groklaw it sounds as if sco simply presumes that there is infringing code, but has no real proof. SCO should go to jail for wasting the american peoples legal system's time.
No really - people are lazy. If one guy can get his buddy to hit his punch card in the morning when he is late - he will. Palm scanning technologies allow verification down to an individual level. It makes a lot of sense. If we all "behaved" in the first place no one would have invented palm scanners.
Mini-Disc has been around for a very long time. All the while featuring 'built-in copyright protection'. ATRAC-3, sony's compression method of choice has always supported DRM. Really, it's not a big deal.
go with the shuttle SN85G - it's an AMD64 based machine. Pop the 3000+ in and a decent vid card like a ATI Readeon 9600XT and you have a "wicked" good gaming machine.
The green line, is the only answer to that route my friend. There is no "underground heavy rail line " option. BU is not the only area that is served by the greenline. You also have the E,C and D lines. The D line in particular runs out past newton. Also the direction changes in and around boylston are not feasible by an "underground heavy rail line".
For the most part the green line works pretty well. And for a dollar it's the cheapest subway in the country. A t pass is only 35 dollars and will give you unlimted rides to wherever.
Sure we've all been pissed about too many C trains or D trains in a row - but for what we pay, it's all good.
the hell, is this not being built on U.S. Soil? This is such a clear example of the U.S. reliquishing scientific leadership in the world community.
Fusion is the one technology among a handful of others that will fundametally change the face of the world in the next 20-30 years and the U.S., the last "Superpower", is going to let that technology be developed on foreign soil.
As described by the article "The boldest intiative since the Manhattan project". Indeed, and equally as important. To think that the current administration can't see the value in this persut is disturbing.
I think "Sentient Data Access" is a bit of a misleading title. What we are talking about here is real world workflow with a set of devices/platforms that are capable of supporting realworld work flow. XML is not the answer as so many have suggested - but a schema much like the BPML and BPEL that *uses* XML and schemas would be required to support this sort functionality.
The article speaks specifically to coordinating the transfer of specific data and instructions between devices in a real world environment. Though in most cases, the instruction could be context sensitive. I.E. if you walk into a Vision Dome with a particular bar code scanned, it could surmised that you want to view that bar code/layout/car within the dome.
Even though the article chastises the world for not having accomplished this yet the reality is that this sort of thing could be implemented today with current technologies. Also the platform could easily use future technologies if designed correctly.
To build such a thing would require an extensible way of definining a process much like VoiceXML, BPML, BPEL. It would also require the ability to define the exchange of data, more importantantly, the device/location/communication channel that the data will be coming from. And finally, it would require a way of easily defining the execution of a process. The last component is really the challenge. Every software package that would participate in this type of environment would need to "listen" for requests and messages that are coming from devices/other systems. Indeed, this sort of pluming is not hardware, but software. As such it would also need to be supported by every operating system, handheld device, and embedded system to be properly integrated into the world at large.
So I say build the language then build the engine.

Microsoft didn't say a damn thing about emulating linux, Rob Enderle did. The memo was distributed by MS, but appears to have no content regarding an emulation of Linux development methodologies.

Name a hardware failure every six months for dell hardware over a significant period of time. Then we'll talk.
Things happen to hardware period, I'd wadger, but again, I don't know, that hardware failure rates by manufacturer don't vary too much.

C# supports late binding - it's more complicated to implement than VB.NET

They failed to mention the 80% of the test group who had stomach ulcers due to over consumption of coffee.
go with the shuttle SN85G - it's an AMD64 based machine. Pop the 3000+ in and a decent vid card like a ATI Readeon 9600XT and you have a "wicked" good gaming machine.
Looks like they should have invested some time in clustering their servers too! Fear the slashdot.
