How have things changed over the last year when it comes to booting from usb pendisk or hard disk whatever?
Every time I try it, it's still not quite there. For instance, I can boot knoppix 3.9 from my usb cdrom but once it loads far enough it can't find the usb cdrom and loses track of it's filesystem consequently. That always bugged me considering it can boot from it just fine. I'd love to have a rescue usb pen drive that had both windows and linux bootable rescue installations available. I've never been able to pull it off.
If we're going for productivity on the road and on battery power. Powering two drives isn't going to help productivity when the battery dies after 1 hour.
Maybe some way to resync upon AC power? From my experiences though resyncing is never a quick process.
It seems like Matrox kind of got swept under the table over the years. They always made great cards. Not necessarily the best for gaming but they had some cool features before any one else.
Seems like they haven't really introduced anything new in quite some time.
For those of you that were hoping to read more than some author's wild speculation here's real google news... They've suspended scanning books due to copyright issues. It sounds like they're giving everyone a chance to respond that has a copyright on whether or not they get their books included.
You're right, motorcycles aren't for carrying several people at once, but during weekday mornings, how many vehicles only have one person in them?
Motorcycles are no good in the rain/snow and certain terrain.
I've only had my motorcycle for a month or so now but I can tell you that I am much more aware of bikers on the road. Also in many ways riding a bike is safer than a car in the sense that you are much more aware of everything around you. Goofing off is a great way to lose control and lose your life and you'll always have to worry about other drivers unfortunately.
I have some cheap servers that have SATA "raid" cards in them which are nothing more than adaptec chipsets that might do a little but of accelleration with the right software drivers.
Sarge sees them as seperate drives despite the raid controller reporting them as 1 logical.
I was able to setup software mirroring with no problems. Speed is not great.
There's an open source program called truecrypt that seems to work on the same principal as the one in your add. I've been using it for a while now and it works great.
As long as I can see it with my eyes and hear it with my ears it can be copied.
Requiring someone to have their DVD player plugged into the net reminds me of the old DivX players that died a horrible death. For those of you that don't remember. DivX death
In this particular video it's certainly not going 186 mph. I think throwing a ball at 186 mph would be a bigger feat than this robot catching a slower ball. Kind of neat though.
Not getting joe jobbed will be a huge step forward. Not to say that everyone's going to instantly adopt these standards but it won't hurt that these are Official now.
What would happen if Intel decided to sell all processors at 10 times their normal rate except the ones it sold Apple AND what if Apple found a way to keep people from running Windows on Macintosh PCs.
Two things could happen. 1. AMD suddenly has to figure out new ways to keep up with demand. 2. People stop buying buying windows. I don't think AMD would be able to keep up with demand and I think Windows would not die but diminish very quickly.
I've always wondered just how far they can recycle a PC or a monitor.
I can understand simply reusing good parts, but what about completely obsolete parts or bad parts that no longer function properly. When a recycling company gets a bad memory chip what do they do with it?
It seems like the cost of actually breaking those parts down into usable pieces would be a lot more than creating them from scratch and in a market where manufacturers are trying to cut every piece of fluff from the budget due to the massive quantities they must sell I'd be surprised if this is the route they take.
I've been buying 21" trinitron displays for around $100.00 each.
I usually get about 4 out of 5 good ones and the local company I buy from has a 30 day no questions asked 100% return policy. I can't imagine what shipping would be as these things are beasts.
Probably not good enough for medical displays since they're used.
No cost savings on power that you'd get from an LCD either. Make great room heaters in the winter time though.

There's another nice jabber client for windows available here http://www.miranda-im.org/.
It supports AIM, ICQ, Jabber, IRC, MSN and maybe some others.

"Why the subscription crap?"
They're in it to make money not provide you with a cheap game. They have completely succeeded in making money so I guess the plan worked.

Just make the north half of the country uphill from east to west and the south half of the country downhill from east to west.
My solution is to put everyone on motorcycles.
70-80mpg+ and decent accelleration. Plus the more SUVs you replace with Motorcycles the safer for everybody.

No. But I would think they'd need some sort of cannon to shoot it that fast.

Does google get stuck paying his salary during this period?

Adblock must be doing it's job.
But this will help me out tremendously.

My GeForce FX 5700 card already has an external power connector.
I think google already does an excellent job of finding that information.
That got a chuckle. hah!
