The Intel compiler has been known to ignore possible pointer-aliasing (variable accessed directly and also accessed via a pointer). This is OK with Fortran or in Fortran converted to C because Fortran doesn't have aliasing. This serious bug results in a lot of incorrect code. It is prudent that you double check the results from the Intel compiler.
But If you keep your computer on, you are wasting electricity anyway. Personally, I think SETI is a waste of time. I would rather use the spare CPU cycles on humanitarian efforts like Medical Research
Many other organization baulk at GPL. Intel and HP for example had problems with the GPLed Mono project.
Microsoft seems to be OK with the BSD license. The don't seem to be against open source either considering that the Microsoft Shared source code licence is pretty liberal.
Compaq presario 8000 now come with Radeon 8500 All-in-wonder 128MB as an option. I have been contemplating getting one for some time. Can anyone tell me if it worth going for it. I mean what does the 8500 add which the 7500 doesn't have.
When I looked at the ATI website. They seem a new card called 8500DV with 64 MB DDR. What is the extra DV? Is different from plain 8500. I will probably not be getting a new machine for the next several years so I want to get the latest and the greatest now. Also I read somewhere that ATI would release the next generation of Radeon chip called R300 which is supposed to be GeForce4 beater. It would to be released it in August. Should I wait for it to be released ?
OK. I confess. I work for a organization which Microsoft subcontracts to for this sort of work. While bidding we make no mention of OS or technology unless there is a requirement to use a particular technology. For example, hosting images doesn't require a specific OS. But hosting Windows Media streaming content requires Windows servers. We host content for several differnt clients not just Microsoft. It is actually incorrect to say that hosting on UNIX is cheaper than hosting on Windows. The cost of software is small percentage of the total cost. Most of the costs are in maintaining, developing (read salaries). Open source doesn't mean cheap.
Sometimes it is cheaper to subcontract rather than build your own infrastructure. I know for sure that some groups in MSN subcontract the support mail to external partners because the group which does support work charges more. Eshop for example, uses Digital Island to host the images because it is cheaper than maintaining their own servers.

Got the PDF. I cannot host it. I have a 56K dialup line.
Thanks.
I don't even get the login prompt on the MIT FTP server.
Really wanted to read this. sigh.
Did anyone get it ?
Or found a google cached link ?
Read again. Its AQL (Acceptable Quality Level)
92 percent of Transmeta's net revenue came from Japan, a figure which is up from 55 percent in the year earlier.
You may have not changed it on hotmail.
But might have changed your profile on one of the other MSN sites (for weather or local news etc.).
anal is a prohibited word.
didn't you get absorbed into MSN TV ?
I wonder why this is listed as a leak.

This is faster than the SETI network.
SETI operates at 17 teraflops, but at a cost of only $500000.
XP understands the difference between logical and physical processors.
On XP, The license limit is for physical processors only.
Just realized the URL was not working.
Try this IIS on XP Home.
There are running Win 2K.
See Netcraft.
In fact, they switched from Apache to IIS.
I have never tried this (I use XP Professional).

Wouldn't stand in court.
It is just a project codename.
Not the actual product name.
that means that less than 10% of the company are developers. Quite a topsy-turvy situation for a software company.

Thanks for the information. Really helped.

homepages.msn.com is not microsoft owned. It is owned by Talk City. It is just a cobranded site.
You can find several examples of co-branded sites in MSN.
Ex- slate.msn.com is microsoft-owned & slate.lycos.com is a cobranded site.
