And BoxxTech had dual-opteron (AMD's other 64bit chip) Personal Computers for sale before Apple even mentioned they would be selling the G5 at some undetermined point in the future.
The next time there's an article about a major company or government switching to 'Linux' as their OS are you going to pipe up saying that the article should say 'a Linux distribution'? No? I didn't think so. Unless of course you are RMS...
This may come as a suprise to many people here but some people LIKE the way linux works
Point me to one person that likes the inability to cut-and-paste accross applications. The problem with Linux is not so much in how it works, but where it doesn't.
Those of us who want Linux on our desktop have it on our desktop, those who don't... well... don't
I want Linux on my desktop, but yet don't have it. Why? Aside from the typical 'applications' cry which will eventually be resolved (hopefully) - it's because it doesn't work. I like the thought of having an OS that I can tweak and control every aspect of. I like the idea of *NIX instead of NT. But I am not a programmer; I am not a CS grad. I am not a 13 year old with too much time on their hands. I'm a working proffessional with a lot of geek skills (used both as a hobbieist and on the job) but I dont have the time to figure out all the nuances and get Linux working on my desktop. I have tried installing Linux many times over the last 4-5 years (Mandrake, Redhat, Corel, etc) and every time I end up eventually wiping the computer back to Windows because I need to get something done with it and I still don't have it working properly. From spending forever trying to figure out why a particular app wont compile, to fighting my way through dependencies, to trying to get my etc/hosts file to work right with a DHCP setup, to getting the right video drivers working, to ripping my hair out over samba not working, to trying to recompile my kernel, to KDE running incredibly slow, to trying to get sound, to trying to get my extra mouse buttons remapped, etc.....and thats not even dealing with applications. I don't even have the time to mess with applications and try to switch over my general computer usages because any spare time I do have is spent just trying to figure the basics out. A user shouldn't have to be experienced with Linux just to get it up and running. I've used all the 'easy-install' distros. I don't have wierd obscure hardware, and I have yet to have an installation where everything worked.
No, the university with the number one engineering school is the one that has the inventor of the digital interface for microwaves, blenders, etc as its president.
I'll leave it as an excersise for the reader to figure it out.
I was at SIGGRAPH and I've been paying attention to this since before/. posted it last year...it's water. The unit requires simply a water feed and electrical supply. They are trying to sell the initial units for about $100k
but think of it this way...what if you can move the contents (viewable area) of a window indendent of the mouse movement. This makes sense to me for having a trackball-like device imbeded in a mouse. Much more advantageous than just a trackball or just a mouse.
WinXP...plus Windows 2003 server...plus client access licenses for every machine...plus MS screwing you over in a subscription program...plus time spent fixing damage done by viruses and exploits........
They aren't talking about a single user running it on their box, they're talking network-wide implementation (and Disney isn't paying $700 for photoshop either)
read the article....even though people may get the same impression from an inkblot, they will describe it differnt ways...the password is generated from the first and last letters of their description of the inkblot...repeat 10 times for a 20 character password
So people should just wait and see what comes out of the whole process before voicing their opinnions?
The only way congressional representatives know what their constituents want is if the constituents (us) speak up at every decision-making point in the process.
if you have the ability to restrict what appears on a network, then you've opened the door for the RIAA, other powerfull corps, or the government to tell you what you can and cannot place on the network.
Isn't that how the wwww (and the internet in general) started?
From my little bit of usage of freenet, it seems to me that the analogy of it being a distributed, encrypted www is better than calling it a p2p filesharing app.
ummm, actually even before MS started their discounting, the linux solution was more expensive - blows you're theory out of the water
the reason why linux was chosen over MS was because MS' approach was viewed as being somewhat deceptive, and because linux wouldn't leave them in a lock-in situation years down the road
Slashdot Mirror
actually i had som MSN CDs that were extremely flexible and just bent and creased instead of cracking
Yes it is a nuisance.
When potential clients contact me and encounter such a system, they'll just find someone else.
You're better off w/ SpamAssassin (although that brought our email server crawling to its knees) or Cloudmark SpamNet or the like
no, CA really does have the 5th highest in terms of pure, raw value GDP
The number is based on it's GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
If California is counted seperately, The US still retains it's 1st ranking, but California takes 5th ahead of France.

that or viagra
your presumption is incorrect...Wine reverse engineers the Windows API, so there is no need for a MS license since there is no MS product present.

beyond the crappy review
beyond the complete implossibility (astronomical research, fossil records, geohistorical, etc...)
why the hell would the vatican want to blow up atlantis? pat robertson maybee...
I dunno who's the bigger troll...the reviewer or the author
Actually, the fraternity at MIT that has a B level block of IP addresses already has a toilette that can be flushed remotely.
Guess what? There's a VNC client for my cellphone (Samsung I330)

no, thats for a small studio....i would be incredibly happy if i could find a 1 bedroom at that price

$800 for a 1 person apartment...sounds like here in West Los Angeles....
i know ;p
