An even bigger problem is coming. With M$ big push for "Media Center" Win XP, don't plan on any entertainment by computer, video, music or games, without all the DRM crap. Why anyone would take things that work fine (Cable or sattelite TV, Stereo) and run them through M$ is beyond me. They will not allow any recording of anything and act like Doom in not installing on anything that has what they think are pirate programs, (limewire, kazaa, p2p in any form). That's what the "AA's" and M$ want. We get to figure out how to keep it from happening.
Not quite. A fresh install of Win XP will have between 11 and 13 instances of Alexa on Ad-Aware, followed by one more and 5 DSO exploits on SpyBot. Installing and running Ad-Aware and SpyBot is the next thing I do at the whitebox store I work at, for a format re-install or a brand new machine. No they are never hooked into the network for the first boot.
At Linux Canada's Quasar. It's a nice piece of work that will handle most of a businesses needs and can use postgre or mysql for the backend. I looked at this issue last year for a start up, that didn't. Quasar had everything we needed except payroll. It has inventory mgt, POS, reports, a good package at a reasonable price.
I with you. The "bake offs" are all BS. Actually all marketing is just shoveling crapola.
When I was at NMSU for a special program, it was run through the business school. I got injured and couldn't get what I needed to finish so I thought I'd just take the business degree. It was marketing, I left shcool 15 hour short of my Bachelors because I wasn't qualified to get a Marketing degree, I have a conscience!
Whats uninformed about the truth. There has never been a cure for a viral infection, never. There is no cure for the common cold or any other virus. A vaccine keeps you from getting infected. This one may be different, but that will be because this disease reacts differently then anything in history. Yes they could get lucky and do both at once. I would be glad to one succeed.
I too am confused. A vaccine is preventative, not curative. It would be wonderful if a cure was found, but don't hold your breath. There has never been a cure for any viral disease. Not a single one. I think they will get a vaccine done in the next few years. But unless they are on to something completely different, there will be little hope for those already infected.
Any attempt to water down the Do Not Call list should be fought tooth and nail. Hell, it's one of the very few things to come out of Washington in the last thirty-five years that works most of the time. We are the taxpayers and the FTC works for us, as individuals, not any corporate group. This is just a cheap replacement for the boiler room call centers.
Seeing what the gamers are doing is VERY important. Games are driving the PC industry now. It's not like the migration from DOS to the GUI, when everyone needed a much faster CPU and lots of memory(for the time) just to run their word processor. Lets face it, nobody needs a 3GHZ with a gig of ram to run Office. Games are the reason for new video cards, faster busses and better CPU's, and memory. Faster more reliable hard drives are good for all users since they are the peformance bottleneck, but the rest is more for games.
I am talking about desktop use only. Faster parts make for better servers in the business world. Whether the business is banking, web-server, or any other.
Some of us refuse to take the hit in the wallet for Intel. AMD is still the best bang for the buck. I know that my reasons are strictly money. Intel is overpriced for what you get.
I am a Republican also, and live in NC (High Point). I like how Easly handled the financial troubles, when you add the effects of several big hurricanes, it was a job well done. As the son of a soils professor I have a good understanding of the Ag Commisioners job. He is actually more important than half the Legislature, and all the appointees.
I'll be there too. I just hate that the State Govt. and the Counties are going to spend that much.
Four years ago everything was going good for the State, Two months after taking office, Gov. Easly (D) annouced the State was nearly bankrupt. He has done a good job getting things under control. His predecessor(D) and the legislature (D controlled)were at fault. The scary thing is how those incumbant legislators keep getting re-elected after screwing things up like that. Some voters really are stupid.
If I handled my checkbook like Congress handles the budget, I'd go to jail. Why don't they?
As a group, investors are just greedy. They don't even suspect technical merit of any company's product. Thats the only way to explain the constant yo-yo of NASDAQ over the last few years. When the real tech companies announce increased orders, profit, cash flow and the market drops, try to make sense of that. Or reports go the other way and it climbs. There is very little logic in the overall market right now, just speculation.
Like the 60 plus pages of Kerry's service record he will not release? Including his original discharge, not the one granted in 2001, but the one from the early 70's that went before an Admirals review in 76. That is never done for an Honorable Discharge, I know, I have one.
What about the Iraqui Army trucks moving things out a week before the war started. I saw those pictures on CNN! Besides, unless you are an explosives expert, you can't tell one kind from another, so you don't know which ones our troops were handling.
As for your pitiful vocabulary, someone will mod it apprpriately.
Since the explosives were not at that location when the troops arrived, a year and a half ago, calling it the Administrations fault they are gone is a lie. Trying to spring that story two nights before the election is manipulation. That has nothing to do with journalism. Since it broke early, they just looked mean and vindictive.
True, but for the wrong reason. Look at the complete lack of action by the UN in Sudan. Just a lot of jaw flapping and hot air, nothing to actually stop any killing. That's why the UN is totaly irrelevant. They don't do anything but talk.
What about the story on missing explosives that they were going to spring on us on the Sunday night before the election? They tried to influence the election results, that is not journalism, it is propaganda.
Anyone at CBS commenting on Journalistic itegrity has to be the biggest joke of the year. They have no integrity or credibility after their actions during the last 60 days.

The thought of playing Battlefield on a dual core Opteron. Actually, just having a dual core Opteron for any use has a serious drool factor.

You could say the same thing about MS. Some of the Win bugs have been around since 95. Will they ever get fixed?
It's right up there with "truth in advertising" and "honest politician"!

That most FireFox users are online to get things done and don't want the distractions.
Or could it be that FireFox users are just smarter?

Did SCO do it to themselves? Two reasons:
1. They do think this way.
2. To look like victims in court.
I must admit I enjoyed it no matter who did it. Childish, but funny.

WP 5.1 for dos was the first truly good word processor. Everything since has been a modified copy, or clone.
Just like all spread sheets are derivitives of Lotus 123 R2.?.
Ther is no new software being written, it was all done 10 years ago, we just modify it.

This article is from the Guardian, which has the journalistic integrity of the National Enquirer. Nothing more than a sensationlist rag.
The treaty in question is only about WMD's and is just between two countries. One of which doesn't exist anymore, making the treaty meaningless.
