To Run Linux on the opteron. Seriously, I think all these DRM moves by MS our great,/. should welcome them, it will just speed up the world migration to Linux. There even seems to be a lot more interest in Linux these past few weeks on usenet since certain "free" winxp installtions can't use sp1.
For me, I love food too much so I just work out 5x a week at about 45 mins a pop. There is no reason anyone here can't work out 45mins a day. As long a you have reasonable genes you should be able work out and eat a decent amount of while maintaining good form.
Common Behavior
Some people have terrible metabolism and require strict diets.
Some people go to the gym and stick their thumb in their ass for an hour, don't even try to work out unless you plan on pushing yourself.
Other people go to the gym, and then go home and eat a large pizza by themselves.
If if work out a a few times a week and don't eat a ridiculous amount of food, the weight will come off, but it doesn't happen overnight. Expect to see some results after four weeks, but don't expect the world. Good things take time, I managed to loose nearly 50 pounds in six months by just working out, five days a week.
Amen, I remember purchasing my first CDR drive from Pinnacle Micro, the company which was really the first to offer such drives. $1200 for a 1x external SCSI drive. At least it looked good which burning a disc for an hour.
Why don't they rent the largest cargo plane in the world, the Antolev An-124? Instead of putting a car in the hold, there is room for a couple of buses.
So much of celebrity endorsements, commercial contracts, and sweepstakes, because the fact remains that most people prefer the taste of coke over Pepsi. Just look at any of the big chains, the major ones: McDonald's. Burger King, and Wendy's all serve coke. The chains that serve Pepsi are either owned by Pepsi or are given significant incentives to purchase it. No restaurant would ever choose Pepsi if Pepsi and Coke were offered at the same price.
Well why the hell would my 52 year old father ever want to do DV editing? He does have a usb digital camera which works just fine. What percentage of computer users give a fuck about DV editing? People are still hungover from the glory days of camcorders, most find it rude to be shot on video, but don't think twice about a snapshot.
Yes I know about browser speed and such, but people assume that a new computer will speed up their network connection, even though 56k modems have been with us for quite some time. I bet the great majority of people here would choose broadband and a 800 mhz Athlon over a 2.8 GHZ P4 with a modem hands down.
Well if I had to choose between having a P-II w/ 128megs and an Oc3 line or a P4 w/ 512 megs and a 56k modem, I would choose the P-II for faster internet.
This also explains why Apple isn't dead yet. For checking my e-mail, browsing the web, and writing papers for english my G3 600 iMac works just fine
Well the AMD 600 Machine I built for my dad nearly 3 years for $650 works just fine too, running Linux and windows XP. There is no advantage for Apple as far as aging hardware is concerned. Good luck running osx on that G3 imac.
As a reason to upgrade your computer to a 2+ GHZ machine. The funny thing is, most people don't know any better and assume that buying a new computer will make the Internet faster. The FTC needs to start coming down hard on computer companies who advertise that a new pc will make the Internet faster.
I'm no music reviewer, but it seems to me if I were to review a new album, I would want to listen to the CD on the best stereo I have access to, not a little crappy discman with $5 headphones.
The other day while I was waiting for a friend a Barnes and Noble, I picked it up only to put it back on the shelf ten minutes later. Usually I buy every Oreilly book for technologies that I use frequently, but I figured that there is probably very little in the book that PHP's excellent online documentation doesn't provide.
The latest versions of limewire use hashes from a specification called HUGE that probably defeat this type of posioning attack. You can check out a recent interview with limewire team here. Go here if you want to download the code or check out the dev docs(Which are pretty outdated).
His name isn't even mentioned in the "about us" section
Yes it is and the reason why gaming companies don't promote developers anymore is really simple, you don't want to be dependent on the reputation of one developer for the sale of game, otherwise they will have all the cards come renegotiation time.
Debian has free subscriptions, there is no mass exodus to the world of Debian/Linux
Oh great, a free subscription for some uber-geek to tell people to RTFM newbie! There is no mass exodous to debian because its installer and community is not newbie friendly. Finally no company is going to install debian on their servers, especially when support consists of a google groups search.
If your wife is a PhD candidate, then you are obviously living close to a college. The best place to look for a flexible job is at the university. You may go the traditional route of applying to posted positions, but I would recommend a different approach. Probably the best way to get a job, would be to become more socially active with people who may need new hires. Many people who post jobs have already made their mind on an internal candidate so that's why its important to find out about these openings before they are posted. As far as telecommuting goes, Universities tend to be very flexible as long as your work allows you to be productive without face2face contact. As a programmer working on a project with 2 other people, I don't need to be in the office that much so I'm allowed to telecommute 3 days a week.
One word of warning, make sure you have decent home office to work in, a few years ago OCSA passed some crazy regulations in regards to telecommuting, so most HR departments are really paranoid about a telecommuters workplace. I know my setup is going to be inspected next month by some guy to make sure the it is ergonomically correct, which is completely ridiculous. Basically they will justify their existence by telling me to get keyboard trays even though my keyboard is already at a good height. Way to go OCSA, keeping me safe from the dangerous height of my model-m keyboard! They will probably furnish me with an MS keyboard that I will immediately throw in the closet.
Java on the client is far from dead, there are a few programs keeping it alive namely Yahoo Games and Limewire. Any standalone app that wants to use java can either bundle the JVM on the dload/CD or provide a link to the download site. Its also much more bearable today thanks to improvements and moore's law. I think one of the big problems is people have a bad impression of java due to the earlier releases where you would wait 5 mins for a god damn applet to load.
It would have nice if they included installs of Postnuke and/or Phpnuke. I've installed slashcode, phpnuke, and postnuke with phpnuke probably taking the cake for the easiest to install.

First Red Hat, now google, I guess when your on top you need to prepare for unsubstantiated criticism.
The problem with any of this futuristic crap is its obsolete in a few years or even months so it doesn't do anyything to increase the value you your home. The only house tech that makes sense is to wire each room with cat-5, have nice appliances, and a good heating and cooling system.
Its funny to look at houses that were built in the 80's and see integrated gadgets like intercom system, central-vac, and B&W security cameras that probably cost a fortune back then yet do nothing for their sale price today.
According to this article anyone using cracked WPA activation or certain serial numbers will not be allowed to use windows update or install SP1. This will apparently not affect the OEM copies that have been floating around for month before the windows XP release date.

This is a modbombing test. I want to see if i get modded down by Mike who seems to be making another feeble attempt to sensor a thread.
There is also a NYT Article.

Maybe google labs can whip up a quick p2p client that will allow people to use google in places where it is blocked.
