yeah this was pretty bad. i imagine pretty much any video interpretation of his fiction is going to be terrible because his stuff is pretty far out there, and you would need a high budget to make half of the stuff actually look believable.
It was fun, i only had one leak (that was my own fault) but it was expensive. These systems are not for real world computing. They are for hobbyists that want something to do. I chose to do mine semi-homebrew style. I fabricated some stuff myself, and bought the other parts.
The only reason i did it was that it was nearly silent. Of course, you can do that with conventional cooling nowadays.
Another interesting fact is that i got out of high performance PCs, and now my only computer is a 12" powerbook.
and it worked fine, but safe mode does not appear to work (you are supposed to be able to kill files in the game, but not actually on your hard drive.) maybe i should send them an email.
HDTV broadcast beat out the use of my tivo this year. i didn't even record the superbowl on it. HDTiVo is supposed to be coming out sooner than later for a retail price of $999, dish only. I don't think i'll be buying it right away.
you are correct. my fiance can use linux just fine, especially if i use a WM that approximates macOS (which she is used to)
i think MacOS 10.x is a pretty sweet OS. i have switched in the last few months, and run into virtually no problems.
you're right about office. there needs to be something more reliable than openoffice for office documents. the problem is, every time there is a new version of office, openoffice probably has to catch up significantly.
sounds like 2 things going on.. 1. most of the original code was written in europe, so they use many european spellings, and 2. changing spellings globally often breaks things, so it's something they just don't do anymore.
i think what hardocp was saying was that they came up with the idea that relying on futuremark as the only judge of performance was a bad idea before extremetech did (i.e. they posted a very similar article six months earlier)
so what i got out of that is that increasing the speed of the memory (from 133 -> 166) is a much larger difference than bumping down the cas latency. i think i'd rather have memory on a faster bus than at a lower cas then.
but people will always say they have their stuff at the most agressive timings just to say that they are there, even though the average performance increase is only 0-2%
we use wireless in my house instead of cat5. while it is good for the laptop, i would much rather be tied in for my desktop. intermittent service drops and just overall flakiness drives me crazy.
i believe that the riaa can regulate the official recordings, but the band has discretion with concert material. i know DMB has a website devoted to trading concert music, as well as phish. it seems like the bands are taking the direct from the board recordings for themselves, but allowing the guys with the big microphone stands in the audience do whatever they want.
the turtle beach audiotron satisfies almost everything here but the tv out.
(remote, digital out, mp3, no ogg from what i remember, but ethernet)
the pc is really the way to go (just run xmms at double size w/ the playlist up... it just about takes up the whole screen. i think the audiotron would be a killer piece if it had tv out capabilities
anyway... i haven't heard of anyone who is REALLY happy with ogg when it comes to decoding their songs on things other than PCs. FACE IT, there just aren't many things out there that decode ogg, and mp3 is just easier to use right now. (just use lame at alt-preset-extreme)
they already have all the fiber in place. when case wired everything, they didn't use cat5. it was all fiber. i think they did it so early, that it was the only option.
Slashdot Mirror
They make a variety of bags that look and don't look like camera bags. I use the urban disguisel line myself.
i keep a copy on my laptop, one on the linux box via crashplan and a third copy half the country away on my friend's computer via crashplan as well.
i use this too. generates strong passwords for you and then autofills the forms. very nice.

i am reading the baroque cycle right now (in the middle of the confusion) and i am finding it very intruiguing.

of course, many people today also agree that "aggree" is spelled agree.

Hold down the stop button - at least that's how you turn off my pogo mp3 player

does it bother anyone that a reviewer is actually running this antiquated and obsolete piece of junk?

is the segway not "IT" or is it not "ginger"
how does exportation work with this? i thought people weren't allowed to export code w/ serious type crypto in it.

yeah... these guys are hosting the websites on their 14.4 modems
i think i've seen other screen shots from Doom 3 that look WAY better... am i crazy?

yeah...
"new appointment, tuesday with fred at 2:00 to discuss people complaining on slashdot."
then it just works.
that will indeed be the functionality that will make everyone get a pda
