You should have read some of Daniel Lyons' old articles on SCO vs. IBM. He was breathless in his support of SCO! I don't value his opinion much. I wish a respectable magazine like Forbes would find a better tech writer.
Look at the number of Tflops per active cpu by OS. I took (TFlop/active cpu)*1000 to get a readable number -- or Gflops/cpu Windows is.948 Mac is.51 Linux is 1.21 And GPU is 65!
If my computer idles at 150w and runs FAH at 100% cpu at 200w and I need 20h to generate 1 unit, I am spending $.10 for the extra kw hour roughly. In the summer I waste money on AC in the winter I save gas money on heat. If I put my computer in 4watt S3 standby for 15 of those 20 hours, I can save a lot more. FAH calculations do not depend on "free" "idle" computer power, they depend on users spending money to generate the results.
It doesn't recognize the hard drive for Vmware 29996. Vmware support for Vista is "experimental" I have been able to run all Vistas up to and including 5600. When I go to install 57XX I get a prompt to install a disk driver. Microsoft had to go out of it's way to delete the driver or prevent it from working with vmware. Perhaps they want real error reports from bare metal installs.
I agree completely. I love people who want "natural childbirth". I tell them I'll give them cocaine in an epidural and morhine. So many people really believe that if it comes out of a plant it is safe and OK, but if a human plays with it it is synthetic or unnatural or unsafe. What hogwash!
The drug is being examined for analgesia uses and to be similar to morphine. I am not aware of any mu opioid receptors that result in the relief of severe pain without respiratory depression. This is also a very early report. I don't read basic pharmacology journals, but any new compound that was promising in animal models would have made it to the major Anesthesiology journals that I read. I certainly wish them luck.
I am an Anesthesiologist. I give people morhine and fentanyl on a daily basis. Morphine is a natural drug, it comes from a plant. Cocaine, digitalis, aspirin and many other drugs are also natural. If the new drug is related to morphine I take that to mean it will work on the same receptors in the brain. If it does, it will have a similar side effect profile: constipation, nausea, respiratory depression and probably addictive potential. To me, this is just a "me too" drug like Tagamet/Zantac/Pepcid that all work the same way on the same receptors.
Interestingly, there is no profit margin in simple morphine. The cost to the hospital for an ampule that would relieve severe pain is on the order of $1. The DEA paperwork is a bigger cost to a hospital!
The biggest long term problem for people who take morhine (or heroin in the UK or oxycontin or any drug in this class) is constipation. Cancer patients don't have to worry about addiction.
Who made the VCR a success? The porn industry! I understand porn is a big percentage of DVD sales too. While I agree with most of the points of the article I would like to hear what the big producers in the porn industry have to say. When the price hits $100 I'll buy one for my computer for backup.

What sleazy marketing. Poor Intel looks desperate to get their market share back up. This just makes them look bad. Google tries to stay non-evil. Why don't Intel and Skype?
Ditto. All CDs work and verify 100% I record at 40x using 40x media on a 52x recorder. All DVDs fail to MD5SUM verify although they look complete when mounted. I use 2.4x DVD+RW and 4x DVD-R on a 12x DVD recorder that also handles the way cool DVD-RAM format. I have K3B 0.11.13 under Fedora 2 and custom 2.6.7 kernel.
I thank the site for their good work. My future SFF will go in a den where I want to keep the noise level down. Too bad there isn't a sound rating on these boxes. I do hear the shuttles are pretty quiet if you use a quiet HD and video card.
I agree completely. I want to put a Shuttle based computer with a DVI output ATI All in Wonder next to a Panasonic LCD projector one day. It must be a quiet computer though.

Reliability=dvd-ram

DVD-Rs go 8x

· Score: 2, Interesting
If you really want reliability go with dvd-ram in a cartridge. There is built in error checking as you write and no software is needed. Just mkfs/dev/hdx and mount and go. Unfortunatly this format hasn't caught on and the latest LG 4040B drive doesn't support dvd-ram with the protective cartridge. It does do dvd-r +r -rw +rw cd-r and cd-rw. Maximum PC mag states it can write a 4g dvd-ram at 3x in 20 minutes and every bit of your binary file *will* be there.
Search google and msn for "linux advantages" I got 450k hits on msn and only 350k hits from google. The first page on msn were positive articles... not links to MS sites saying there were none.
There is a repeater that retransmits the wifi signal of a base
station. I found it for $71 with a $10 rebate at BestBuy. Unfortunately
it wouldn't work with my Ambicom base station. Take a look at: http://www.dlink.com/products/wireless/dwl800ap+/
Has anyone had luck with this product?
A base station and 2 or 4 of these should cover the Hamptons mansion.

Athlons just crunch the math better.
