You're only creating more paperwork and potentially screwing people that forget to register a copyright on everything they create.
Specifically, say a college student or a hobbyist created something wonderful which gets published in some magazine or newsletter.
They didn't register a copyright and then people discover it over a year later and it becomes huge shouldn't they get some credit? Corporate greed would swallow this up because other people would use their work and not give them a penny if they could get away with it.
I think copyright should be maintained as automatic on anything you create.
I'm not sure which CPU he's trying to support, but on the AMD side, a lot of the "value" motherboards that have built in NIC and audio are of excellent quality. (Some of the sata and raid functions still leave plenty of room for improvement)
Chances are you're going to see minimal performance difference between all of your options. I really like the nforce series of motherboards with the Nvidia chipsets, but VIA has an excellent product as well.
Note that you don't have to use the onboard components on most motherboards.
I agree with you. I think AMD does have a vastly superior product, but my point is that part of the reason it is better is because they've had more time and resources to focus on creating a better product vs production and what not.
I seriously consider that one of the biggest factors in this so called CPU "war".
The other thing is volume. I believe one of the reasons AMD is able to create superior processors is because they don't crank out nearly the volume that intel does.
If they did it would take them longer and cost more to upgrade the fabs each generation.
Effectively, if it's a proxy, couldn't it be used to anonymously access the web?
Not that google doesn't keep logs to let law enforcement see who you are, but in theory, the logs of the sites visited would see google unless they explicitly told them you're ip correct?
It was made by Sharp of all people. It was a nice picture too. I'm not sure that anything is broadcast in 1080p though. This was about 3 months ago so others might have the ability by now.
I told myself I would probably wait until content was available in 1080p before making the plunge. Of course, by then some higher def standard will be on the horizon.
As long as they list the RMS per channel I don't care how they describe the peak power.
I can see where it would be misleading to those that didn't know.
I believe my system is 550W meaning 100W peak * 5 channels + 50W peak Subwoofer. I'm okay with that because on the original box it also listed the RMS for everything.
550W is not wrong, it's just peak and no one listens to their system at peak anyway.
When I recommend open source platforms and solutions to school districts my hope is that if they choose those options it will save taxpayers money OR it will allow the school to spend money it would have spent on licensing in other areas.
If I convert parents of students to open source solutions they will have no problems if their kids are using them in school.
One of the factors that did come in to play is how comfortable we were with the idea of this "interviewee" (is that a word?) meeting with and working with customers on a 1 on 1 basis.
As far as budget however, the people asking more money weren't over-qualified. And there were people that were over-qualified asking for less money but potentially didn't fit the presentation requirements.
Ultimately though the three people we've hired in the past year have been outstanding choices. They get the job done and they have pride in their work. I've tried to give them raises as aggressively as I can afford to do so.
I bet two or three people could sit on mine at once at it wouldn't break. I'd be more afraid of kicking it while it was plugged in or bumping with my knee or something of that nature.
Would you be willing to say that these people shouldn't have been in CS to begin with?
I've interviewed a lot of people with CS degrees from various universities and some of them gave me the feeling that CS was not right for them.
I'm not saying that's true about everyone with a CS degree that can't find a decent paying job but out of the people that I interviewed the ones that I felt didn't fit in CS the most were the ones asking for insane amounts of money.
The ones that I actually hired were willing to work for reasonable amounts of money and they clearly were more knowledgeable and more skilled than the rest.
I want to watch my movies with more definition. I realize that more definition is not 100% reliant on the new media, however, they will release higher def. video on this new media.
I'm not sure if you just haven't seen high resolution video or if you truly don't care, but I've seen it and I care. The fact that HD TV signal over the air is higher resolution (better quality compression) than what is on DVD bothers me.

Sure it was purchased on FUD but it's a very valid fear. It's not like they aren't getting anything out of the deal.
As much as I hate Adobe having a Monopoly, I'm not sure I'd like it more if they shared the market with Microsoft only to go the way of Corel in a few years.
I see your point but as much time as I had spent on the phone going through 5 or 6 levels of people and the fact that I was told there was no one higher I could go to I was under the impression that this person could allow me to communicate or directly relay a message to the NOC.
I'm used to professional services such as my ISP (savvis) offers. You call and generally you get someone who is in the same ballpark as myself on knowledge of how things work and how to fix things. I don't think that's asking too much.
What scares me is what if it had been some sort of emergency. I can't think of any valid examples, but I guess the police would be involved in any real emergencies.

What benefit would that serve?

What needs work is the terms to convert it to PD.
History repeats itself. I can't remember if the movie was based on a true story or not but I believe it was.

I could be completely wrong on this though.
That's the most solid business plan I've ever seen!
1. Claim you invented the internet.
2. Receive award!
3. PROFIT!!!

This is one of the best windows based svn clients I've seen.

It's not a perfect solution but it's a darn good start to at least legitimizing the sources of email.
Looking in my mail server logs, I'm seeing more people use SPF but there are still way too many domains that don't.
I can't blame Bush for wanting to have supporters only.
Sure, this sets a nasty precedent for forcing corporations to support the "winning" president or get booted.
Every has missed the point. Corporations shouldn't be allowed to donate to politics. Let people do it on an individual level.
Campaign finance needs serious reform. This mess could have been prevented.
You're partially correct.

I was wondering the same thing.

I agree. I personally feel openoffice 2 is an excellent replacement for MS Office. This is the first version I've felt completely comfortable with.
.mdb files. So I still have to keep access around.
The only drawback I've had to deal with a bit is not being able to open MS Access
Try this one out:
I want to watch my movies with more definition. I realize that more definition is not 100% reliant on the new media, however, they will release higher def. video on this new media.
The trick is to tell it that it's a local printer and add a new "Standard TCP/IP" port.
Which words didn't you understand "the" or "is"?
The price of boxed sets have very little to do with the cost of the media.

I got the beta demo when they first announced it and was able to boot knoppix 3.4 just fine.
