To test for bad ram, download memtest86 from www.memtest86.com. It is linux based and runs off a floppy disk. Leave the disk in over night. In the morning, you will know if your ram is good or bad.
Posting your own intellectual property to the web (or giving someone else permission to do so) is much different than posting someone else. Think about it. Totally different.
If you posted it to a publically accessable web page, then you gave everyone in the world permission to copy it, in my opinion. Anybody who viewed your page made a duplicate of it in their browser cache. And copying is copying. Don't make it publically available on the web if you want to restrict the copying of it. Ass.
If I had to choose between death and loss of privacy, I choose loss of privacy. Even if it is just a significant chance of death, my choice is the same.
Listen, buddy. we don't NEED all that. People try to sue corporations, so they put it there to protect themselves from 1 lawsuit. But the society does not need those warnings.
Earlier this year I read about a case where, in fine print in the back of a college text book under the copyright notices was the note "send a letter to this address mentioning this will recieve a new car." I don't remember what car, but it was a pretty expensive one, I think. Someone finally did, after the book had been in print for several years, I think. The kid got the car. Wish I could find the news article though.
Oil IS solar power!
This is how it works. Energy from the Sun (solar) gets converted into chemical energy by plants. As these plants die, the chemical energy they store ends up underground in oil deposits. Humans take this chemical energy and convert it to heat or kinetic energy (which can then be converted to electrical or whatever).
The plant-oil system is solar power.
The way companies do business on pricewatch is by listing very low prices, then charging $20 shipping when it actually only costs $5 to ship the product. That makes the $395 become $410. This is not a huge proffit but it is not selling at a loss.
Some people may be wondering why someone would use slackware when there are distros like Mandrake which have a graphical configuration utility for everything. There is a very good reason: to learn about Operating Systems and about Linux. To change a configuration in Slackware, you have to edit text files. But that's not really bad, because Slackware has amazing comments in the config files. You are encouraged to learn the filesystem and the config file structure. If you want to learn Linux as opposed to simply use Linux, run Slackware!
If Microsoft tries the same things as Everquest that would be truly bad for the U.S.A.. My roommate plays EQ. He just now went to bed (at 11:20am) because he stayed up all night playing the game. It is no problem though, since he already dropped all of his classes and is just living in the dorm room so he can have a faster internet connection for EQ. If Microsoft adopts these types of games, they cam make them mainstream, and that could be really bad for a lot of people.
Opera has the best interface. They invinted tabs and gestures. Mozilla has coppied these, though. They also were the first with built-in popup blocking. Unfortunately, it blocks all pop-up's even requested ones. Mozilla now does everything special Opera does (exctept for righ-left click for back and left-right click for forward) and Mozilla has superior popup support.
I can't wait till moz 1.0 comes out. I am building my grandpa a computer with OpenOffice 1.0, Mozilla 1.0, and Slackware (with windowmaker). That's all he needs.
"why must this always be handled via legislation?"
Legislation is what makes Intellectual Property exist in the first place. It makes sense that changing the legislation could solve the problems with Intellectual Property law enforcement.
Holy shit, bitch! If someone mentions King David or Budah or some shit would you get all pissy? What's the big deal? How can you take a poop with an ass that tight?
I used to think the exact same thing. My windows 2000 server, built with top of the line PC hardware was great for a long time. But in the past week it locked up twice. No BSOD, just strange things like returning pings, Apache only serving static pages, stuff like that. Oh and no response to the keyboard or mouse. I had not changed or installed any new hardware or anything.
Windows 2000 isn't the perfect OS we used to think it was. If you have ever used it as a desktop you will notice it does strange things like corrupting CDROM drivers without the user doing anything to change it. You then have to delete the CDROM from the controll pannel and let windows reinstall it.
I'm sorry, but Windows 2000 still has some design flaws as far as system stability goes. Linux is still in the lead here.
Buying RAM is a bit confusing now. Athlons have 200MHz FSB and 266MHz FSB. What kind of DDR should I use with each? There is DDR1600, DDR2100, DDR333, and some other stuff. Now there is this intel chip with 533MHz FSB. Is there an easy rule to remember what number after the 'DDR' coresponds with the number before the 'FSB'?
It gets so confusing, building your own systems is becoming less appealing.
I think that is a bad tld..adult would be better. This isnt DOS. If a good way to categorize this comes about, I'm for it. The problem is, even victoria's secret magazine is porn to a 14 year old boy from suburbia. But about videotaping... I should be allowed to tape my babysitter in my own house.
He does still have a girlfriend. It is strange, they had been together for a year before he got the game. He blows her off to play it, so eventually he bought her a copy of the game! So they play it together sometimes (I am sure she hates it but she trys to get into it just to get to talk to him). Oh and a few days ago she was playing on his computer and he wanted to play, so she got annoyed with him and then he told her "get out of my room now." She left crying and he played EQ for hours. She came back the next day and he suggested she bring her computer down to my room so they can play together. He doesn't give a damn about her, he only cares about the game. But she stays with him for some reason.
My roommate is addicted to Everquest. Yesterday he played for over 12 hours straight (eating microwave food). He plays until he goes to bed then plays when he wakes up. He doesn't go to class anymore. His girlfriend calls him and asks him to come up to his room and he says "not now, I'm playing the game." Friday and Saturday nights he plays Everquest until 6am. He was a quite normal guy before he got the game. But since January he has completely given up on his real life and only cares about his game life. My girlfriend and I never get any 'alone time' in my room because he NEVER LEAVES THE ROOM. Please help. Is there anything I can do to get him to quit playing Everquest and save him from ruining his life (and my sex life)?
Does anybody know when Apache 2.0 will come out? It supposedly has great design improvements on Windows as compared to Apache 1.X. A lot of Windows users might give Apache more consideration once it comes out.
With the Taliban gone, this opens up free world trade to Afghanastan, which is sure to benifit economically all of the warlords. When peace and stability is in their best interest, you can bet it is going to happen.
The problem wiht your statement is that everyone already realizes those types of mistakes were made in the past. We, for the most part, just wanted to deal with the middle east as little as possible. But now, I think everyone is determined to correct past mistakes. It was bad for a politician to muck about in the middle east then, but now, Americans want someone who will do what needs to be done and make sure it is done right. It is a logical error to conclude that since something happend one way in the past, it will happen the same way in the future. I think this one is going to be done right.
Ok I read in my discrete math book that integers x, y and z have been found such that x^n + y^n = z^n for n=4. However the article states that fermats last theorem said there is no solution for n > 2.
At the end of the article they talk about how fermats last theorem 'proves' that x^12 + y^12 z^12. However, Fermat did not have a computer, and he was wrong. For powers of 3 and 4, fermat has been proven wrong by computers already.

Well you mist be some sort of brilliant historian! But I have news for you: the arabs have been war-crazy since long before US intervention in 1954.

Hate to break it to ya, but we already did.
