I think most of them have the same backend problem as do Princeton. I think some of them just fudge it and call it 8. And yes I'm a bit of a fanboi. I have a 19" and a buddy has 2 never had a single problem.
Dispite what all the sellers of junk out there would like you to think you still get what you pay for. In all of the Thinkpads and LCDs from Princeton Graphics that I've seen very very few dead pixels and getting them replaced was nothing but easy. Buy high quality gear and you will get good results. Buy Acer and Dell rubbish and you will get dead pixels.
Yeah. I've never been that impressed with iBooks. The Powerbooks are much better but still way overpriced. IMO iBooks are cheap POSes.
But than again I never have groked the myth that Apple makes good hardware. They make very nice looking hardware that is no worse than anybody elses. But that's about it.
It is in the ethernet technical specs. Can't be arsed to look it up just now. Has to do with signal and bounce and the timing. You might very well get better performance by getting in spec but it is not a work or not work thing. Scale that up to ~500 nodes (Just to pick the size of the network I run) and you *will* have very odd hard to debug problems . Note that this is combined length so it you have a 1 foot cable running into a wall jack that has a few more feet behind the wall you would be good. That would all depend on just how your in-house wiring was done.
1 metere. Ethernet cables have to be 1 metere minimum. Other than that you are dead on correct. IN particular the New Jersey thing. Network geeks *hate* New Jersey.
"I'm doing something very much out of the ordinary and google doesn't quite handle it right but it does what %99.00 of the people who use it would like for it to do. Google is teh suck."
And the device that is on the other side of the modem that connects you to the internet is a what?
Remember all a modem does is simulate a serial connection over phonelines. So you have a serial connection to a router which takes you to the internet.
And yeah I should really update that domain name. Of course since I'm responding to a AC here I'm likely just talking to myself.
Yeah. I thought I made that clear. But if I didn't yes you are %100 right there are *many* ways to work around them and take them out of the picture. Not so with what this monkey is talking about.
You do, of course, know that *all* ICANN does is DNS? That's it. Nothing more nothing less. If anybody really wanted to ignore them they could pretty easilly do so.
Now if all he was talking about is having the UN run the DNS servers, well I don't think they could/would do a very good job of it but hey it wouldn't be so bad. He is talking about *far* more than that. Were it the.us gov talking about this.usians would be screaming the loudest about it. This has nothing to do with the UN but does have everything to do with *any*.gov type staying the fuck out of the way.
Anybody who understands this will have a problem with a PDF viewer that is anywhre close to that big. Contrast that with the size of xpdf granted this has more "features" but still the contrast in size there will tell almost anybody who groks software that something is *very* wrong with the Adobe version.
The analogy between hyenas and lions was the BBC writers and is *not* Jack Horner's. I agree the BBC person does not quite seem to grok Lions and Hyenas. Google on Jack Hornor for more in depth info.
They already come for the bears. I don't think this would attract much more attention. Too big to go after hand-to-hand and where's the fun in just killing a Dinosaur with a plasma rifle combine this with Jack Horner's theory that they were scavangers and I think they don't add any real marginal risk.
Actually there is a lot of evidence that you or I could almost walk away from a T Rex. and it really wouldn't be that interested in you if you could walk anyway.
Would be the only real non-evil use that I can think of. The ability to do "inter-library" loans over the net would be pretty cool.
Basically a given library could buy a electronic copy of a given book and through whatever DRM scheme they can dream up allow you to borrow/return it over the net. And thinking of it it would be pretty cool to be able to "lend" somebody a copy of a book off of my Safari account. Of course there are ways to kind of do that now. But to be able to really do it would be cool. That's really about the only use that I can think of. Include in that maybe being able to rent CDs/DVDs the same way.
A lot of these things are impressions formed early on and never really change. And you are right nobody who goes on about them can ever really produce solid numbers. I've used Maxtors for years and never had a minutes trouble with one. OTOH don't get me started about Seagate. This is mostly due to the fact that I had 3 die on me in a row many years back. They were all bought within days of each other from the same store. The correct lesson is, of course, that batch sucked. The emotional lesson is that Seagate sucks. I've even talked to Maxtor haters who have never had a Maxtor fail but have just taken it as accepted knowledge that they suck. So yeah it is all pretty much just religion at this point.
Yeah. I used to have a boss/friend. (Kind of weird work environment) Who would give me his card to do caffeine runs with. I used to fake his signature till the day I did my own by accident and the lady didn't care. I was much younger and this was the first time I had noticed that.

Just like everything in life you get what you negotiate/pay for.

WTF would something being written for a console have to do with it having mulitplayer code or not?
Heh. NP.

Yeah. I test this by searching on the nick that I now use everyplace but on /. makes for a very effective and very fast test.

Is there a way to connect to the internet other than through a router?
That is only true in good faith cases. Lost book etc etc. If you take it with the *intent* to never bring it back that is theft.

This is a better site for it. I was in a hurry before and just grabbed the first decent thing off of google.

Damn sad that it ain't on anymore.

No there is no way to do it without bitching and moaning loudly and long. Most people don't like to to this. Me I live for it.
Yeah. I used to have a boss/friend. (Kind of weird work environment) Who would give me his card to do caffeine runs with. I used to fake his signature till the day I did my own by accident and the lady didn't care. I was much younger and this was the first time I had noticed that.
