I have been learning Linux for the past 1.5 years and I am verry pleased with it. I like the way it is designed and I especially like its multitasking and SMP support. I'll try out BSD later, but Linux will always be apart of me. I have ditched Microsoft. I payed $200 for MASM 6.1 and I thought I didn't get much. My first Linux purchase is a Linuxmall.com RedHat 5.2 CDROM and powertools CDROM which I payed $7 on eBay. I was stoked whith all the information that I received. I am verry greatful for all that the Linux forefathers have started and ma proud to say that I will never graduate from the Linux operating system because its greatness goes on. The open-source philosophy is helpfull than closed-source. I found it much more challenging to program under MS Windows. Especially when nobody will show source code, or at least, source code that has some structure and is self explanatory. I went to hotgrits.org and I don't like what you are doing. You can have that website for yourself and all of your perverse frieds. Slashdot.org is where the information is at. It is only a matter of time before some causes DenialOfService on your system or, atleast, cracks it down to a dump of/dev/hda. Why don't you take some time off the internet and grow-up. Keep in mind that the previous sentance is a command, not a question. Add infinitum. Slashdot.org lives on!
I use XFree86-3.3.3 the same way that I used MS Windows95. I simply use it for its multitasking strength. I don't see any weaknesses. Sure, it needs more and better automation in setting it up. I compared X11R6 with Windows95 on my 486 DX4 100MHz(32MB RAM) booger diald/NFS 'n' SMB file/quake2/freeciv/http server system and found that it ran KDE-1.1 ontop of XF86-3.3.3 about 1/3 slower than MS Windows95 when crunching itself hard. I have found it more stable than MS Windows and that is what I think counts. That is why I choose Linux as the future: it is stable. Sure, Linux can use a better commercial webbrowser other than Netscape. Sure, it requires more skill to setup Linux than an MS machine. Look beyond its current limitations and realize that as long as it is open source, there is competition for producing better software. I like the bragging rights that Linux offers already! We need more secretaries using the Linux operating system and I think it is A-ok that they know nothing about computers and how many bytes it will take to flush the DSP on my monitor's doohingy.err.whatever. Isn't that how MS is trying to build its software? Sure, it crashes a few times if your system is not PeRfEcT, but people somehow find MS Windoze easy to use. They say, "wow! my mouse is another color!", and "I drawed a perty picture for you granny." Maybe I am wrong and they just decide to use MS Windoze because all their games run on it and they can simply type and print.
Frankly, I think that MS is far behind Linux because they don't implement technology good enough. MS Windows users are where they get their money from, right? They deprived their userbase of certain technologies and implement them separately in each version of their operating system without spoiling the user with new features. That way, MS can brag about their product's new features! I've coutlessly heard already, "Pah! Pah! Look Pah! MS Windoze too-hundred-tousand had implmended synedric multie processin! waphooooo!" Along with, "eeeewwwww1!, phree hotmail 'n outook excess! 'cant wait to wun it!" I mean to say that MS is behind in the race, not Linux, not BSD, not Unix as a hole. Goodbye.(I am sniping a Micronics motherboard/w snd on eBay, using Lynx in about 5 xterms:o)
We are both falling into these cowards's traps. I used to do what you did and noticed that by replying to their offtopic flames with our offtopic comments, we are fullfilling one of their goals... spam slashdot because it is a threat to them as a newsgroup for information, a logic center, and a great atmosphere for developers. Generally, a sanctuarry to people that enjoy the private sector and other good powers. We can't win until we get his IP and ping him off. Now, back to those Peltier TECs...<p>
I hear that they bring you down to ambient temperature. Will it be safe if I put one on my neck while I am out fishing for yellowtail behind Catalina island? Ofcourse, on a hot day? Will it cool me down? I saw something on TV that looked like a plate of steal that you put on your neck. On contact, it cooled you down. Like the moment of a chill down your spine as someone put an icecube down your back. Ah, the many ideas for cooling devices! Forget cooling the CPUs! I am going to epoxy 10 of them on my chest and back! Ya!<p>
I have heard of reports of frost and ice on the cpu. I have even heard of someone who ran a peltier on his pentium 200MHz CPU/system, utilizing an UPS, for four years while he was at college. He claimed that the BIOS' APM feature shut-down parts of the CPU, tremendously reducing the CPU's operations and heat output, thus allowing the peltier to super-freeze it. There is something wrong with such claims. The mission of the Peltier TEC is to actually transfer heat from the CPU to the heatsink with 99.99999% efficiency. The Peltier TEC is supposed to cool down the CPU to an ambient temperature, where it is slightly above freezing temperature. In other words, it simply moves the heat from the CPU to the heatsink! It can't get ambient without transfering the heat. Without heat on the CPU, it does nothing! How does ice or frost get on the CPU when it is not designed to meet the freezing temperature? Am I wrong about this? I have been reading the docs on Peltiers and without pictures of ice on the CPUs, I can only talk about the Peltier TEC's specifications and whatnot; what they say on their website.
Oh absolutely! I only mean to reason with people who overclock CPUs above 2x their CPU's clock multiplier! With the ammount of $$$ they spend on the enhancements, they can add more RAM that will give more mid-ranged performance on data storage. You, on the other hand, have overclocked your CPU kinda like how I did. I think that if you can overclock a CPU without causing the addition of anything special(the Peltier TEC), then by all means, take advantage of that small increase! I am sure that it will baffle the BogoMIPS report...:o) Right now, I am running an Intel Pentium 150MHz core/60MHz bus CPU at 166MHz core/66MHz bus. I shouldn't, though. I must keep this system running as a reliable diald route, file server, printer server, accounting data backup agent(yipee to BRU!), and as a typical wordprocessing workstation for my mom at her business. I don't want to do anything to jeapordize her computer system. She paid me a little bit of $$$ for integrating the custom Linux server with two other Windoze95 boxes that I also customized for her. It is just the environment. When I tried overclocking a Pentium 166MHz MMX CPU to a 200MHz MMX CPU and install Linux, I got alota errors and the system bus was not in sync with the ISA bus(8MHz, I think). Keyboard acted a little funny too. Then again, did you know that all CPUs leave a unique oscillation signature? I also suppose that not all CPUs can rate like others. The rating system on CPUs is more of a scientific prediction of the cycles that the CPU will reliably operate at under a certain environment temperature and humidity level. Nothing is exact, really. You are one of the successfull people! Good skill! You know how to pick them!
You are a pioneer! An experimenter! I am NRAdude! I will call you HomebreCPUdude! Doesn't intel void the 1 year warranty on the CPU if you do not run it at the rated voltage and cycles of 300MHz and, I think, 100MHz bus? Intel designs an industry standard CPU. They ballanced the Integer processing and FPU verry well, unlike AMD. If you have a task that requires you to run your Pentium II 300MHz CPU at 450MHz, then wouldn't it be better to pay the 35% extra cost, above the cost of your original cpu, for a 450MHz Pentium II CPU? I just want to emphasize reliablility. If it is stable, then have fun with it! My Dual Pentium Pro 200MHz system is just fine for me. When I needed more power on my system, I knew that I had the bandwidth. I just needed more RAM and higher quality storage devices! Soon, with the use of solid-state storage devices, CPU speed may be less critical in performance when you have almost no delay in data transmission across the bus to other devices. My approach for increasing speed was to upgrade from 128MB of Buffered EDO ECC DRAM to 512MB of Buffered EDO ECC DRAM. That is all that I wish to comment on, performance-wise.
Your negative remarks on my userID simply shows your ignorance. I have respect for slashdot and now that I know of how it operates, and know of their problem with "trolls", I no longer post offtopic information on, for example, Johny Cash lyrics in the Sega Dreamcast area. Go figure? I just improve on myself. If you think that I am a "gun psycho", then I should have good aim. Do you spy on me? Are you afraid of my accuracy on both the hunting grounds and on slashdot? I defend my first and second ammendment verry well without you. I bargain apples to oranges that you are posting in Lesser Britain or some other country that perverts my freedoms. Do you have a first and second ammendment? Do you now see what happens when you post offtopic stuff? Now, I have gone offtopic. Shame on me. I must rediscipline myself.
First of all, overclocking a CPU past its rated cycle rate is no less than a risk of reducing the life and workability of the CPU. For example, I have a 486 100MHz system. I sure would be able to run my daemons faster if I had a faster CPU, but I won't overclock it. I will not overclock it to 133MHz or 150MHz. If I need a faster CPU, then I'll buy a faster CPU, put it into a system that it is rated for, and then split the tasks efficiently between them. When people think that it is worthwhile to overclock their CPU(s), they may actually be burrying themselves with more costs. For example, Johny buys a 333MHz Cellery CPU($60), a good peltier TEC cooling kit($50), and a verrry large heatsink and fan to sandwitch the peltier TEC($40). With all this, Johny thinks that he can reliably run his Cellery CPU at 550MHz. It does and he thinks it is sweet! When it comes time to upgrade, there is a physical barrier between the latest Pentium cartridged CPUs and he can't use his peltier-affect device on the latest CPUs. He wants to buy a 600MHz Pentium III and overclock it to 800MHz. Duh! Everyone has an urge for running earlier model objects as the later models. Aren't there hundreds of books on such issues? Poor Man's this and Poor Man's that. Maybe everyone should abandon the idea of running their old CPUs higher than their rating. Find another use, sell, or donate their slower devices and buy faster devices. Not to mention, peltier devices draw another 65 watts of energy and a computer system that is loaded to every expansion slot and bay with devices will most likely not have enough power for the Peltier. What is the average power supply? Is it 250 watts? How does software run on an overclocked CPU? An overclocked CPU is more of a risk in a Unix OS than MS Windoze. Unlike MS Windoze, Unix operating systems are more volatile in timing issues. I run Linux and I know better. I see only one reason to use a peltier device. Let me explain that heat is the absolute enemy of CPUs. If a short circuit doesn't break a CPU over the years then the heat will! If you put a peltier on your CPU and do not overclock it, then you will see a small speed increase and the life of the CPU will be tremendously increased. Imagine that if you have overclocked your CPU and your peltier device failed. NOT GOOD! Kiss your burning CPU goodbye!
In the desolate underground soils of Southern California, two steps south of his family's Jaccuzzi, underneath the concrete pavement, in his lego-brick-contructed bunker, Gregory, the secretive, yet unknown Linux guru, has been hacking the engima machine's encryption. He claims that Microsoft has contracted him to build a replacement for SMB, mainly to anger the haxors of the Samba team at www.samba.org and to redirect lawsuites. Bill, in person, inside his hombrew bunker, evangelized to Gregory...,
"I am a Jew and I love hating Hitler. Gregory, friend, will you incorporate the Enigma machine's encryption into my software? That way, whenever everyone puts a lawsuite on my head for publishing buggy software, I can say...
Adolphus H. Hitler is to blame! Go file lawsuite with him! That bumm hasn't updated his code ever since he shot himself!
I thankyou Gregory. You have saved Microsoft alot of blame. To help you, here is Microsoft Visual Studio trial version. You have 30 days to use this software to finish the project and I suggest you get crackin. After you install MS Visual Studio, you have until 30 days to finish this project, or your computer will self destruct due to illegal operations'. Good luck, Gregory... (whispsers to himself...'stupid irish/german boy')."
Data encryption in this world just keeps moving onto more and more battles. Is there acutally an encryption algorithm that is impossible to be broken and actually prevents hacks from extracting the encryped data? Why do we need enryption, everyone asks? We need encryption on everything! Encryption guards people's personal data on financial information, encryption makes data transmission more reliable, it distinguishes received data for propper verification from fragmentation and corruption, and probabley its most needed use, to prevent the illegal circulation of copyrighted material. Is there an unhackable encryption method? I have seen SSL broken. I, however, have not seen PGP broken. A good story behind PGP is that a man in China created it. It was said to be so security-tight that he was endited by the United States Government under many lawsuites. His crime? The United States Government could not scan the encrypted messages of the people whose eMail messages it was screening for information. Data encryption is needed most in our world. Noone should leave slashdot thinking that only bad people use it becausee they have something to hide. It is for the good and the bad. It is like a gun. It can be used for good and evil. Yet, all it does is conceal data that the user may deem sensitive. Many encryptions aree being created today for the sole puprose of being broken into. Nowadays, if the authorities want to know moree information about you, they can find out what your are using to encrypt the data, go to the creator of the encryption algorithm, reequest documention or a special screening program, and wham. You have been broken into. Data theft has occurred. It is mainly a conspiracy to get your data. For example, do you have a Yahoo or Hotmail eMail address? In general, do you have any eMail content being stored? Well, such organizations and companies scan your eMail for information on you. They figure out how to advertize to you based upon your interests, anticipate whether you will close your account with them, and help law officials track you for anarchist and illegal activity. If know friends who have typed the following and have had an FBI agent at their door the next moring, questioning their activities... Kill assassinate pot tequilla dogknitting shit Bill Clinton needle factory children atomic Polish Handgrenade nitro tnt works hate Bill Clinton President rueger NRA glock ammendment Not only do we need to preserve our right of privacy, but we must understand that the same people who enforce laws and build encryption algorithms will steal our data. The internet was the government's biggest deception to us. They knew that the private sector would take it over and improve it. They just didn't know, until today, how easy it is to steal our information and how good a creation they have. Good luck to you all in your concealments. May you have many countless hours of monitored activity at the hands of the twisted and perverse.

The right of free speach has given you the ability to say whatever you think on shlashdot.org. Slashdot is run by some verry clean and talented people in the United States of America. The many rights that people receive here will attract the attention of many people who were being oppressed in the country they had grown up in. The United States is the best country in the entire world. It was formed on Jewish-Christian beliefs and is being subjugated by socialist and communist people as yourselves. Your methods involve removing religion and corrupting the education of United States children. You know that you can go into the United States and say whatever you want, without being thrown in jail, when if I was in your country and said negative things about your country, I would be put in Jail. You are taking advantage of my freedoms and rights to freely speak against my freedoms and rights. Only in my country, the United States of America, is it possible for Anonymous Cowards, such as yourself, to take advantage of the United States' policies in being by and for the people. You should go back in your country and compete with my system of government on your own soil. That is, if your government lets you own any. Linus Torvalds is a perfect example of a person who had a dream and found it easily expressed in United States of America. He is his own skill and no other man or government claims his talented mind. Only a governmnet that you support claims ownership of such things. You still beleive in Scientific Socialism from Karl Marx, yes? Well, I and my fellow Americans have been burrying you, your economy, and your words ever since. You'll never take away any of my freedoms until you take away my right to carry a rifle. I own many. One bullet for each of you and your comrades. Prepare yourself, lol, if you can, because I am going to walk all over you when you step foot on United States' soil. Now, go back to your shanty and think of more ways to undermine America.
I agree with you. Bill should be treated fairly. I like Mr. Gates. He has learned alot about the U.S. government and how ignorant politicians would easily sell him out of his own company for not contributing democratic campaign $$dough$$. Linus is a realy good guy too. He has not much say on where LinuxOS will be in the future and he would like it that way. That is LinuxOS's strength, I suppose. Anonomous programming. It is a possibility that LinuxOS will take over the entire market and the corrupt DOJ will not know who to sue. I visited the sight and I think I shouldn't subscribe. All companies will defend themselves and I would rather not correspond to what anyone hypes about their own company. Actions speak louder than words. I am happy to see a clean-spoken person, as yourself, on/. :o)
I apologize for making it sound like Compaq realy stinks. All I can say is on one occasion, my friend payed premium for a Pentium 233 laptop and he couldn't get Linux to install because of some technical problem with the chipset. I couldn't figure it out either. The CDROM drive would boot and begin with LILO and about half-way down the list of detecting and running the appropriate drivers, it would simply freeze. We just kept Windows on it and returned it. Windows worked like the charm it was and it seems it was made for it. He payed about $3,200 for the laptop. Also, about two months ago, someone payed me to upgrade his Pentium III 600MHz Desktop so it could use a SCSI scanner. I looked through the entire system and found all kinds of weird stuff that Compaq configured on it. It of course was MS Windows 98 that I was working through. The IDE 32x CDROM drive was made to work with a strange 16bit DOS driver and 32bit access was a little broken. What was even worse was that he payed $3,500 and the 32x CDROM drive he ordered was supposed to be an 8x DVDROM and they charged him the price of the DVDROM drive for the CDROM drive. It costed about $500 more than usual. Compaq also puts a program for technical support in their Desktop that bothers me alot. A giant "Q" appears in te bottom-right corner and it will randomly cause errors. And you probably know how you must turn off a Compaq system when it freezes! Power on/off is only on the keyboard(or you pull the plug). I am only a little angry at them because I have to explain to these ignorant Windoze users what is wrong with their new PC; when it was a simple PC upgrade job at that. They are a B-OK company and I'll never buy from them because some of their stuff is compatible only with MS Windows. I can build a better system, and I don't want ANY ties to their tech support. Their tech support is another laugh! The things they ask... Heck! I probabley sound like everyone else now! Is that a good reason to not like Compaq? Every PC manufacturer probabley operates the same as them. Why don't I hate everyone else yet? lol.
Why are you trying to advertize something that you already use with your incestuos sister? I see that you are still AC! You are one limp biscuit! Who's your daddy? Shouldn't you be in schrool? I expect an answer dillan or dilbert or dildado or whatver your name is. I know your name! It is laddy! You are 15 years old and you enjoy taking a shower with yourself, a mirror, a bar of soap, and yourself again. Go figure? Maybe you like dropping the soap and watching yourself bendover in the mirror. Didn't someone make a movie on fudgepackers like yourself? That word, fudgepackers, I think it doesn't have anything to do with WillyWonka or even See's Candy. What does it mean? I think I'll leave the secret with you and you again!
Compaq IS a proprietary PC building machine. All that they do is build a PC, somewhat like an IBM clone, except they swap things with their own proprietary parts. A friend of mine, a Windoze user, paid me to set up his new (shit)Compaq(ter) computer and I had never seen so much proprietary devices on the motherboard in my entire life! What makes everyone think that they are going to contribute opensource drivers for all their proprietary PCI bridges, PCIsets, and whatnot? I noticed alot of undocumented Texas Instruments stuff. I do admit, it is a good computer. It is just not something that a poweruser would use. I think that Compaq just wants a response from the Linux community on their offering of Linux training courses. Funny thing, Linux may not actually install on a Compaq system because of the PCIset. My anology to Compaq offering Linux certification is Apple computers Inc. offers training and certification on the intel 80386 CPU. I'll never buy a Compaq. They were built by Windoze users and is meant for running Windoze. They are just teazing us...
I HATE your kind. Especialy the spotted ones...

Have you ever compared the properties of a black hole to, for example, the sun, our dwarf star? What keeps a planet from floating apart? Scientists say that a planet's mass creates a gravity field. It somehow keeps us white people from jumping higher than everyone else in basketball. Just a little harmless joke on the white men can't jump movie. Crappy movie though... I think that every planet has a very weak black hole in the center. It has fooled us for hundreds of years and it took an open-minded man to discover gravity. Do you think that there can be gravity if our planet was flat or was in the shape of a rectangle? I don't necessarily think that there is a possibility of a black hole in the center of our planet, but there may be strange minerals inside. More unique to a black hole by not destroying the planet! Look at magnetite, for example. Make a scale model of a planet that is 12" in diameter. Put a powerfull earth magnet in the middle that measures 3" in diameter. Given that the difference in diameter of the earth magnet inside the perimeter of the foam, perfectly centered, the foam that is not displaced represents dirt or lava. Make some models of people with peices of magnetite on their feet. Now, imagine your model planet floating out in space, zero gravity, and unaffected by any other magnetic fields. Notice anything? All your model people with metal and magnetite on their feet tend to stand up and stay on the planet. I know it sounds childish about how I describe this model... You are probabley thinking of the layout of the series Star Trek, when Captain Peckerd visits the BoRgus ship. Their idea of artificial gravity on that ship may not be as primitive as it seems. I did think the giant cube was lame. Imagine a mineral that is like magnetite, but it attracts all things of matter simillar to a Black hole. NO NO NO! Not as strong! Very refined, weak, minerals, bonded or melted into the hull of a space craft and is used in high ammounts on the walkways. It may actually help keep a space craft in one peice! Now, think of our planet being flat, with some form of gravity. This imaginary mineral will allow a flat slab of land in space to exhibit the traits of a spherical planet with a black hole in its core. You definitely need a computer simulation for this one! Now, think about magnetic fields, UFOs, and about propelling objects using the force of the magnetic fields of planets as "free" energy. Have you ever seen the opposite of a black hole? Maybe, one that does not implode, but explode? Magnetically speaking. How about an imploding, black hole that somehow repells masses outside of its own. A tear in space that has no space? I give up.
Soon, there will be gene theft, genetic sabotage, and more problems, if they document everything and is aloud into the wrong hands. Someone might modify marijuana to produce millions of seeds and release them into the wind every month. This new strain of plant will spread all over the country and will be harder to get rid of. I don't hate marijuana and I don't care about it. That is just an example. Genetic terrorism. lol. Venus flytraps that walk(higher metabolism) and poisonous red roses that will consume other plants and are resistant to agent orange... In other words, there are negative possibilites about publishing the findings of genetic research. It is just another study that we can take part in.
lol. I am not a moron. I actually think that it is great that they have mapped the fruitfly's genes. They can use all the help and pr that they can get! When they can accurately interpret their information, then they can practice on more complex organisms. Soon we will be able to help the disappointed boy with Chron's disease. However, we are still on the Fruitfly. The fruitfly is a multicellular animal and they don't know entirely how to understand it yet. Do we realy want them to better understand fruitflies? They are insects and we are mammals. Entomology does not mean "Bug Doctor". It means the study of insects. It will take a lot of genetic research to fully understand the human's genes and with our short lifespan, can't we focus more on us, so we can extend our lifespan and not have to retrain people to study after the ol' professor kicks in? As to what they say, we currently have a limit of 5% on our brain. Lets unleash that with our study on humans. Then we can help other less fortunate animals.

Can he hoist a jack? Can he lay a track? Can he pick and shovel too? Unlike John Cash, my 486 100 will do whatever I tell it to.
I have been learning Linux for the past 1.5 years and I am verry pleased with it. I like the way it is designed and I especially like its multitasking and SMP support. I'll try out BSD later, but Linux will always be apart of me. I have ditched Microsoft. I payed $200 for MASM 6.1 and I thought I didn't get much. My first Linux purchase is a Linuxmall.com RedHat 5.2 CDROM and powertools CDROM which I payed $7 on eBay. I was stoked whith all the information that I received. I am verry greatful for all that the Linux forefathers have started and ma proud to say that I will never graduate from the Linux operating system because its greatness goes on. The open-source philosophy is helpfull than closed-source. I found it much more challenging to program under MS Windows. Especially when nobody will show source code, or at least, source code that has some structure and is self explanatory. I went to hotgrits.org and I don't like what you are doing. You can have that website for yourself and all of your perverse frieds. Slashdot.org is where the information is at. It is only a matter of time before some causes DenialOfService on your system or, atleast, cracks it down to a dump of /dev/hda. Why don't you take some time off the internet and grow-up. Keep in mind that the previous sentance is a command, not a question. Add infinitum. Slashdot.org lives on!
Frankly, I think that MS is far behind Linux because they don't implement technology good enough. MS Windows users are where they get their money from, right? They deprived their userbase of certain technologies and implement them separately in each version of their operating system without spoiling the user with new features. That way, MS can brag about their product's new features! I've coutlessly heard already, "Pah! Pah! Look Pah! MS Windoze too-hundred-tousand had implmended synedric multie processin! waphooooo!" Along with, "eeeewwwww1!, phree hotmail 'n outook excess! 'cant wait to wun it!" I mean to say that MS is behind in the race, not Linux, not BSD, not Unix as a hole. Goodbye.(I am sniping a Micronics motherboard/w snd on eBay, using Lynx in about 5 xterms :o)
We are both falling into these cowards's traps. I
used to do what you did and noticed that by
replying to their offtopic flames with our offtopic comments, we are fullfilling one of their goals... spam slashdot because it is a threat to them as a newsgroup for information, a logic center, and a great atmosphere for developers. Generally, a sanctuarry to people that enjoy the private sector and other good powers. We can't win until we get his IP and ping him off. Now, back to those Peltier TECs...<p>
I hear that they bring you down to ambient temperature. Will it be safe if I put one on my neck while I am out fishing for yellowtail behind Catalina island? Ofcourse, on a hot day? Will it cool me down? I saw something on TV that looked like a plate of steal that you put on your neck. On contact, it cooled you down. Like the moment of a chill down your spine as someone put an icecube down your back. Ah, the many ideas for cooling devices! Forget cooling the CPUs! I am going to epoxy 10 of them on my chest and back! Ya!<p>
Your negative remarks on my userID simply shows your ignorance. I have respect for slashdot and now that I know of how it operates, and know of their problem with "trolls", I no longer post offtopic information on, for example, Johny Cash lyrics in the Sega Dreamcast area. Go figure? I just improve on myself. If you think that I am a "gun psycho", then I should have good aim. Do you spy on me? Are you afraid of my accuracy on both the hunting grounds and on slashdot? I defend my first and second ammendment verry well without you. I bargain apples to oranges that you are posting in Lesser Britain or some other country that perverts my freedoms. Do you have a first and second ammendment? Do you now see what happens when you post offtopic stuff? Now, I have gone offtopic. Shame on me. I must rediscipline myself.
First of all, overclocking a CPU past its rated cycle rate is no less than a risk of reducing the life and workability of the CPU. For example, I have a 486 100MHz system. I sure would be able to run my daemons faster if I had a faster CPU, but I won't overclock it. I will not overclock it to 133MHz or 150MHz. If I need a faster CPU, then I'll buy a faster CPU, put it into a system that it is rated for, and then split the tasks efficiently between them. When people think that it is worthwhile to overclock their CPU(s), they may actually be burrying themselves with more costs. For example, Johny buys a 333MHz Cellery CPU($60), a good peltier TEC cooling kit($50), and a verrry large heatsink and fan to sandwitch the peltier TEC($40). With all this, Johny thinks that he can reliably run his Cellery CPU at 550MHz. It does and he thinks it is sweet! When it comes time to upgrade, there is a physical barrier between the latest Pentium cartridged CPUs and he can't use his peltier-affect device on the latest CPUs. He wants to buy a 600MHz Pentium III and overclock it to 800MHz. Duh! Everyone has an urge for running earlier model objects as the later models. Aren't there hundreds of books on such issues? Poor Man's this and Poor Man's that. Maybe everyone should abandon the idea of running their old CPUs higher than their rating. Find another use, sell, or donate their slower devices and buy faster devices. Not to mention, peltier devices draw another 65 watts of energy and a computer system that is loaded to every expansion slot and bay with devices will most likely not have enough power for the Peltier. What is the average power supply? Is it 250 watts? How does software run on an overclocked CPU? An overclocked CPU is more of a risk in a Unix OS than MS Windoze. Unlike MS Windoze, Unix operating systems are more volatile in timing issues. I run Linux and I know better. I see only one reason to use a peltier device. Let me explain that heat is the absolute enemy of CPUs. If a short circuit doesn't break a CPU over the years then the heat will! If you put a peltier on your CPU and do not overclock it, then you will see a small speed increase and the life of the CPU will be tremendously increased. Imagine that if you have overclocked your CPU and your peltier device failed. NOT GOOD! Kiss your burning CPU goodbye!
"I am a Jew and I love hating Hitler. Gregory, friend, will you incorporate the Enigma machine's encryption into my software? That way, whenever everyone puts a lawsuite on my head for publishing buggy software, I can say...
Adolphus H. Hitler is to blame! Go file lawsuite with him! That bumm hasn't updated his code ever since he shot himself!
I thankyou Gregory. You have saved Microsoft alot of blame. To help you, here is Microsoft Visual Studio trial version. You have 30 days to use this software to finish the project and I suggest you get crackin. After you install MS Visual Studio, you have until 30 days to finish this project, or your computer will self destruct due to illegal operations'. Good luck, Gregory...
(whispsers to himself...'stupid irish/german boy')."
Data encryption in this world just keeps moving onto more and more battles. Is there acutally an encryption algorithm that is impossible to be broken and actually prevents hacks from extracting the encryped data? Why do we need enryption, everyone asks? We need encryption on everything! Encryption guards people's personal data on financial information, encryption makes data transmission more reliable, it distinguishes received data for propper verification from fragmentation and corruption, and probabley its most needed use, to prevent the illegal circulation of copyrighted material. Is there an unhackable encryption method? I have seen SSL broken. I, however, have not seen PGP broken. A good story behind PGP is that a man in China created it. It was said to be so security-tight that he was endited by the United States Government under many lawsuites. His crime? The United States Government could not scan the encrypted messages of the people whose eMail messages it was screening for information. Data encryption is needed most in our world. Noone should leave slashdot thinking that only bad people use it becausee they have something to hide. It is for the good and the bad. It is like a gun. It can be used for good and evil. Yet, all it does is conceal data that the user may deem sensitive. Many encryptions aree being created today for the sole puprose of being broken into. Nowadays, if the authorities want to know moree information about you, they can find out what your are using to encrypt the data, go to the creator of the encryption algorithm, reequest documention or a special screening program, and wham. You have been broken into. Data theft has occurred. It is mainly a conspiracy to get your data. For example, do you have a Yahoo or Hotmail eMail address? In general, do you have any eMail content being stored? Well, such organizations and companies scan your eMail for information on you. They figure out how to advertize to you based upon your interests, anticipate whether you will close your account with them, and help law officials track you for anarchist and illegal activity. If know friends who have typed the following and have had an FBI agent at their door the next moring, questioning their activities... Kill assassinate pot tequilla dogknitting shit Bill Clinton needle factory children atomic Polish Handgrenade nitro tnt works hate Bill Clinton President rueger NRA glock ammendment Not only do we need to preserve our right of privacy, but we must understand that the same people who enforce laws and build encryption algorithms will steal our data. The internet was the government's biggest deception to us. They knew that the private sector would take it over and improve it. They just didn't know, until today, how easy it is to steal our information and how good a creation they have. Good luck to you all in your concealments. May you have many countless hours of monitored activity at the hands of the twisted and perverse.
The right of free speach has given you the ability to say whatever you think on shlashdot.org. Slashdot is run by some verry clean and talented people in the United States of America. The many rights that people receive here will attract the attention of many people who were being oppressed in the country they had grown up in. The United States is the best country in the entire world. It was formed on Jewish-Christian beliefs and is being subjugated by socialist and communist people as yourselves. Your methods involve removing religion and corrupting the education of United States children. You know that you can go into the United States and say whatever you want, without being thrown in jail, when if I was in your country and said negative things about your country, I would be put in Jail. You are taking advantage of my freedoms and rights to freely speak against my freedoms and rights. Only in my country, the United States of America, is it possible for Anonymous Cowards, such as yourself, to take advantage of the United States' policies in being by and for the people. You should go back in your country and compete with my system of government on your own soil. That is, if your government lets you own any. Linus Torvalds is a perfect example of a person who had a dream and found it easily expressed in United States of America. He is his own skill and no other man or government claims his talented mind. Only a governmnet that you support claims ownership of such things. You still beleive in Scientific Socialism from Karl Marx, yes? Well, I and my fellow Americans have been burrying you, your economy, and your words ever since. You'll never take away any of my freedoms until you take away my right to carry a rifle. I own many. One bullet for each of you and your comrades. Prepare yourself, lol, if you can, because I am going to walk all over you when you step foot on United States' soil. Now, go back to your shanty and think of more ways to undermine America.
Stop being so vulgar. It is that simple. I mean no disrespect. However, you are an AC. ACs have no honor, only fear.
I agree with you. Bill should be treated fairly. I like Mr. Gates. He has learned alot about the U.S. government and how ignorant politicians would easily sell him out of his own company for not contributing democratic campaign $$dough$$. Linus is a realy good guy too. He has not much say on where LinuxOS will be in the future and he would like it that way. That is LinuxOS's strength, I suppose. Anonomous programming. It is a possibility that LinuxOS will take over the entire market and the corrupt DOJ will not know who to sue. I visited the sight and I think I shouldn't subscribe. All companies will defend themselves and I would rather not correspond to what anyone hypes about their own company. Actions speak louder than words. I am happy to see a clean-spoken person, as yourself, on /.
:o)
Play nice, Jasper.
Can it ball a jack? Can it lay a track? Can it pick, and, shovell too? Unlike the Final Fatacy, my ATARI 2600 will do whatever I tell it to.
Why are you trying to advertize something that you already use with your incestuos sister? I see that you are still AC! You are one limp biscuit! Who's your daddy? Shouldn't you be in schrool? I expect an answer dillan or dilbert or dildado or whatver your name is. I know your name! It is laddy! You are 15 years old and you enjoy taking a shower with yourself, a mirror, a bar of soap, and yourself again. Go figure? Maybe you like dropping the soap and watching yourself bendover in the mirror. Didn't someone make a movie on fudgepackers like yourself? That word, fudgepackers, I think it doesn't have anything to do with WillyWonka or even See's Candy. What does it mean? I think I'll leave the secret with you and you again!
Have you ever compared the properties of a black hole to, for example, the sun, our dwarf star? What keeps a planet from floating apart? Scientists say that a planet's mass creates a gravity field. It somehow keeps us white people from jumping higher than everyone else in basketball. Just a little harmless joke on the white men can't jump movie. Crappy movie though... I think that every planet has a very weak black hole in the center. It has fooled us for hundreds of years and it took an open-minded man to discover gravity. Do you think that there can be gravity if our planet was flat or was in the shape of a rectangle? I don't necessarily think that there is a possibility of a black hole in the center of our planet, but there may be strange minerals inside. More unique to a black hole by not destroying the planet! Look at magnetite, for example. Make a scale model of a planet that is 12" in diameter. Put a powerfull earth magnet in the middle that measures 3" in diameter. Given that the difference in diameter of the earth magnet inside the perimeter of the foam, perfectly centered, the foam that is not displaced represents dirt or lava. Make some models of people with peices of magnetite on their feet. Now, imagine your model planet floating out in space, zero gravity, and unaffected by any other magnetic fields. Notice anything? All your model people with metal and magnetite on their feet tend to stand up and stay on the planet. I know it sounds childish about how I describe this model... You are probabley thinking of the layout of the series Star Trek, when Captain Peckerd visits the BoRgus ship. Their idea of artificial gravity on that ship may not be as primitive as it seems. I did think the giant cube was lame. Imagine a mineral that is like magnetite, but it attracts all things of matter simillar to a Black hole. NO NO NO! Not as strong! Very refined, weak, minerals, bonded or melted into the hull of a space craft and is used in high ammounts on the walkways. It may actually help keep a space craft in one peice! Now, think of our planet being flat, with some form of gravity. This imaginary mineral will allow a flat slab of land in space to exhibit the traits of a spherical planet with a black hole in its core. You definitely need a computer simulation for this one! Now, think about magnetic fields, UFOs, and about propelling objects using the force of the magnetic fields of planets as "free" energy. Have you ever seen the opposite of a black hole? Maybe, one that does not implode, but explode? Magnetically speaking. How about an imploding, black hole that somehow repells masses outside of its own. A tear in space that has no space? I give up.
