You can say that again some times I used to feel bad about illegally downloading music until I watched the episode of MTV cribs with MasterP showing off his 24K gold plated bathroom fixtures. Why if people keep stealing music he might have to plat his toilet in 12K instead of 24K the poor guy. To think he has to suffer this indignity just so I could afford to buy enough gas to drive to work at a crappie minim wage job to put my self through school
guns do keep a record all new fire arms sold in the last year are test fired at the mfg then a ballistics record is file in a data bas so if a recently purchased gun is fired in a crime and the police recover the round they can check it against the data base and find what gun fired it from there it's just a matter of following that paper trail to the owner since all fire arms dealers are required to keep detailed records of sales
yea my next sports car is going to be a 18 wheeler with 4.5 times the number of wheels as the average car it'll haul ass. have pitty for all those por saps that got fiber it must be really slow since it has no wires
My god that's brilliant we just need a catchy name to call it X is a popular letter right now we could call it something X something the markentoids can market direct to the gamers. And it should be controlled by some one other then the video card makers like a large company located somewhere in north west region on the united states. Yes I think the idea of a OPEN G raphics L ibrary that is a is a cross-platform standard for 3D rendering and 3D hardware acceleration that ships with all Windows, MacOS, Linux and Unix systems is a great idea almost as good as my idea for using a round object rotating on a central axis to help move heavy objects
this is a raid5 system that means every bit has to be written twice if you have a chance some time look at the disk access light on a high end raid system the drives are active all the time due to the overhead. just because you can only push so much data over your network connection doesn't mean you want to limit your IO bandwidth why do you think they use SCSI ultra 160 in high end hardware raids. and remember this is designed to be a network storage if your running on a switched network so it could be possible that the drives are reading and writing at the same time so now you have some one on the network reading a file at 12MBs and you have some one else writing a file at 12MBs your already up to 24 MBs of data you have to figure at least another 12MBs for the system to write the parity your now up to 36 MB of data flowing over the bus
I could see paying to for a site if it provided content (like/. ) but what about a page that just givs out information is it fair to expect me to pay for a peek at a manufactures on line trouble shooting guide for a piece of hardware I just bought from them? Should I be expected to pay when I try to find out details about a product I'm thinking about buying? Even worse do I have to pay to download drives for a buggy product a company shipped before it was ready? I don't have a problem paying for sites that provide me with something in return but I'm not about to start paying a subscription for things like support and product information.
Aha now it make sense first Palm has been loosing market share and revenue. Now it announces that it will be moving to arm architecture then it announces that it is splitting into two divisions software and hardware and now they by out BeOs. They obviously have discovered that the money isn't in making the devices it's in making the software that runs them. Hardware is expensive and low profit you have to have manufacturing facilities distributors and engineers, all of which cut into already thin profit margins. But if you make the software that makes other peoples hardware work all you need is a office and a group of programmers. Take a look at the difference between Apple and Microsoft Apple sells hardware that runs there software and Microsoft make software that runs on other peoples hardware we can all see which one is the most profitable business model. Palm is repositioning it's self to be IP company rather than a hardware company soon you will refer to your palm device like you refer to a windows PC not by who made the hardware but by what Os it runs
They must have fired there top managers if they raise $40 billion by laying of only 1000 people that means that each now if we could only get other company's to follow suite
there is one problem with this when you cloning by definition is making a exact copy of something so what there going to end up with is either a male of female neither of which is going to do much good without another one of the opposite sex which you can't get from a clone and if your going to bring them back and try to return them to the wild your going to have to have a breeding pool of moor then one pair other wise our not going to have a vary healthy population after a few generations
First off the 5 points they judge are Installation interface applications hardware compatibility and internet support. Ok ill give the installation one to os9 it's easy to make a program the installs easily and correctly when you know that your dealing with a vary small rage of hardware I mean no one knows Apple's hard where better then Apple right. but interface there are so many different window managers and a lot of them have support for thems that means you should be able to make it look feel and act any way you want the only limiting factors are your skill and imagination #3 Applications there probably are more commercial software tittles available for the Mac I have to concede that the Mac has been around for years and has a library of software tittles second only too that monopoly we know and love. What they didn't mention are programs like wine that allow you to run win32 apps on you linux box take that into account and suddenly there a lot more options in the linux world. plus if you have a windows boot on the same machine you can buy one copy of a program and use it in either environment. #4 hardware compatibility I have to concede that chances are if you go down to your local comp USA or what ever your probably going to have better luck finding peripherals that say Mac compatible on them that say linux compatible. But keep in mind that there are going to be a hell of a lot more that are only for windows. If your going to base your decision on what computer to buy because of what peripherals you can get for it as much as it saddens me to say it but your probably going to end up with a win32 system. Linux will eventually catch and pass os9 here because not only is there a small army of linux programmers out there writing drivers but more and more manufactures are starting to support linux as. Not to mention the fact that if you buy a piece of hardware and it doesn't work under linux if you have a win boot you can still use it there until linux support is available if you buy a piece of hardware for a Mac and it don't work your probably out of luck #5 internet support there are so many things wrong with this one I don't even know where to start like os9 supports more web browser choices aren't there about 20 different browser's for linux. And this quote (Just wait for 0s X coming out this summer, and you'll have a Mac OS with Unix. Why wait why not just use linux and get it now. But the part that I really loved that part that finally answered the are these guys smoking crack question was the part where he talked about the Mac being the perfect internet machine because. it was (less prone to viruses then either Linux or Windows, partly because most malicious code is written for Unix. For example, the recent Love Bug virus did not affect the Mac) ok every one that was affected buy the love bug on Linux pleas raise your hand.
They're going to leak out the 13 MCSE exams for it next week the test are going to be professional, amateur, server, advanced server, really advanced server, right click, left click, and restart, just to name a few
maybe i need to reword this super computers have to reach a certan Certain level of performance to be considered super computers IE they have to they have to be capable of X number of terflops what kind of performance do you need to qualify as a mainframe? How many transactions or clients or what ever does a system have to be capable of to be a mainframe computer? There has to be some kind of guide line other wise you could compare a modern PC to a 35 year old mainframe and say look they perform the same so this PC must be a supper computer
This is a little of topic but what is the definition between a mainframe and a super computer? I'm just curious people are always throwing around the term super computer are there specific guidelines between what's a mainframe and what's a super computer.
Why can't supposedly vary educated people understand the fact that men a women are different not just physically and biologically but also mentally. For the million or however many years it's been that modern man has been around it has typically been that men are the creators, explorers and women are the nurtures. Look at any social animal in nature and you'll see the same thing the male protects the female nurtures the young it's not just human nature it's nature. I don't mean to sound like a sexiest but that is the way it is and probably the way it will stay. This trying to change things to make something more appealing or easier for one group is stupid. I think they have forgotten what equality means. It's not having the same number of all sexes/race/religion working in the same place it's about giving every one a level playing field to work on. If women aren't interested in technology then that's their decision. It seems like there just making a issue out of this because the technology industry is a place where there is a large potential for personal gain. I don't ever remember seeing a female garbage collector how come there not shouting for more of them
How many serial ATA devises can a system support most systems today are limited to 6 or less and that's only if you add a second controller that may sound like plenty but by the time you add a couple hard drives a dvd ROM a CD-ROM a zip drive a orb drive and if they ever set a standard for it a dvd +rw drive and a cdrw your out of luck for any thing else. Also they didn't mention any specifics about how it works with multiple drives unless it has changed with the current ATA 33 and 66 standards ATA relied on switching witch meant that it couldn't access more that one drive at a time. Which means that your performance is going to start to suffer if your machine tries too read from different disks at the same time the last thing is more a rant than a question when are they going to add more system resources? This being limited to 15 IRQ's and a hand full of dma's is a major pain in the ass. All the new systems coming out with ridicule numbers of pci slots and things like usb integrated on the motherboard that take resources I would like to add a hardware mpg card but the only way I can do it is to remove some thing
this is completly of topic but I wander if they use the native PPC version of NT 4 in their VPC NT version? since it's the only one that would run on a PPC natively. It would probably be the only one that would run halfway decent since all the others not only have to run in a virtual machine but also have to emulate a completely different processor architecture
Mac stuff on Linux and PCs well you where closer that cmdrtaco but what i think you ment to say is it will let you run your linux/win stuff on a mac it sounds like id just sets up a virtual machine and lets you run a copy of another OS
when judging the quality you need to keep in mind that most tv's even farly new high dollar ones only have between 500 and 800 lines of resolution not to metion the fact that the dp is something silly like.45 and oposed to.28 the next time you get the chance get close to your tv like 6 to 8 inches and see how much space there is between pixels then do the sam with a monitor remember if your in the US the specs for you tv where set in the 60's when then first introduced color television
Slashdot Mirror
I agree I have a big problem pay more for a 10 pacl of media then i paid for the drive
does it really matter if it's count's as non franchise since it wa based on ut2k3 the 2nd unreal torment based of the original unreal franchise

yea it's to bad you couldn't setup some kind of script to run at a certain time to automatically backup certain files
oh wait never mind
Because spelling errors make reading a second language even harder
not to mention there is no limit to how many 10 round mags you can have. it only take 2 seconds to change them
yea my next sports car is going to be a 18 wheeler with 4.5 times the number of wheels as the average car it'll haul ass. have pitty for all those por saps that got fiber it must be really slow since it has no wires

uh the PII 250 might be a problem can we use a 266 insted
