Except that this is up and running, at least in a test mode and Winfs is strictly theoretical at this time. They already removed it from Lonhorn which is 2 years away. I'll bet this is debugged and running in the world before Winfs is in Beta (which is the release version for M$).
Don't forget, overclocking voids manufacturers warranty, on anything overclocked, like procerror, memory, video card. You will only get servie from Alienware, if you can call that service. We have had ten of them in to the white box store where I'm working in the last 6 months, because the owners were fed up with Alienware! Each one was less than a year old.
"We must start coding our version NOW if we're going to have any chance of opening up how girls actually work!"
I'm sorry to tell you that this is the impossible dream. Having been married for 21 years and having 3 daughters I am an expert on how little men will ever know about women. The more you learn, the less sense it makes. Accept it and try to solve an easier problem, like the beginning of the universe, it will take less time and be achieveable!
I like the looks of this and the way it can search the file system. Nice job! This would be a great way to keep track of multiple projects. Blows away the Winfs idea, I will try it out.
Until they get to 1600 X 1200, they still are behind CRT's. The resolution has to go up and the price get competative for LCD's to really take over. They will, but it's a slow process. Really, why pay 3X the price for less resolution and brightness than a Viewsonic P95f+?
Not on this planet. If most of the users had a computer IQ over 100 we'd see a 75% reduction in worms/viri/trojans.
Classic example: Woman picks up daughters computer from shop on Tuesday after tuneup & spy/ad/malware removal. Comes in Friday with 15 year old daughter and asks why she can't get online? Fire it up and popups cover screen. Daughter cliks on everything. Ad-Aware got 423 items and Spy-bot got another 100. That shows how bad it is for the uninformed/uneducated. Trust me, I explained to both that there are NO good popups or banners. We'll see how long it takes to come back again. I did show them how to use and update both Ad-Aware and Spy-bot.
If brains were dynamite no one in Washington could generate enough force to blow their nose!

The Navy has had NO nuclear accidents. The definition of which is the same as at a power plant, ie major leak, partial meltdown, radiation release, etc.
The Thresher went down for 2 reasons. An improperly made hull fitting (read corporate greed) and a debris screen in the High Pressure blow system. The screen iced over during the attempt to blow ballast, blocking the air flow.
The Scorpion went down due to a malfunction in a torpedo battery that lead to a warhead explosion(the idea of electric torpedoes has never worked, they are a disaster).
Niether of these had anything to do with the power plant. Both of these reactor vessels are monitored and have not leaked.
Has anyone noticed?

All the criminals you hear about are dumb? They all do something stupid to get caught. The smart ones are the ones you'll never hear about. Maybe their crime will get coverage but you'll never hear the name.
I'm sure there are some smart one out there, but I've never heard of them.

Now a word from A-Gang. The Navy has had NO accidents. Even if spills of less tha a cup of primary coolant are considered, the number of incidents are tiny. All the power plants in the US should be turned over to the Navy, and new ones built to their specs.
The only reason M$ started paying dividends was to quell a stockholders revolt. The stockholders kept getting the financial statements showing all that cash on hand, and said cough it up. There was some work done on getting votes to change the board to get it. Gates caved to keep the existing board on his leash. Before that, the only way to make money owning M$ was for the stock price to go up and then sell.
Originaly MS didn't pay dividends so they could put the money in R&D. Then the money grew out of control.
Everything you have heard the RIAA say about P2P and burning your own CD's is not new. In about 1970 or '71 they were saying the exact same thing, about cassette recorders. "It will kill the music industry". I swear that some of that crap is an exact quote from back then. Of course the quality of songs taped from the radio sucked, so it was never the threat they claimed. The difference today is the quality, it's much closer to store bought. Plus you can mix your own songs/artists however you want. We called those "party tapes" and when done on high end stero systems, from albums, they did sound good.
The big deal is that with P2P, you don't have to buy or borrow a copy of the RIAA's "source" like we did to make tapes. They didn't like the borrow part either.
The main ones that will use this with joy are the telemarketwits who want to bypass the Do Not Call list. The federal lawsuit will probably be filed in a week.
We can only hope! The expense of any M$ upgrade is increased after instalation. The time spent fixing broken aps and cleaning up the extranious crap is a never ending task.
I hope see a large surge in Linux desktop market share in the six months after Longhorns release.
I live in North Carolina. John Edwards accomplishments are well known here, Dr. moving out of state or leaving practice due to the cost of malpractice ins., 30%+ without health ins. due to cost. His specialty as a trial lawyer was malpractice. I wonder if anyone outside the state gets the connection?
Then he got elected Senator and has missed more than half the votes during his term, because he was confused, he thought he got elected Presidential candidate, not Senator. He has served only himself, never the people of NC. If he had run for re-election this year he would have lost. NC will be in the Bush column in Nov.
The core of your statement is correct. Just don't blame Republicans only. The sad fact is that M$, just like all major corporations dontes to both sides so that whoever wins will owe them. They buy leverage with every election cycle.
The fairest tax would be a flat tax with no loopholes. Everyone pays the same percentage, individuals & all businesses of any size. Then the expense of enforcing a bloated and unreadable code could be cut by 80%. The only people hurt would be the tax accountants and tax lawyers who would have to find "honest work".
I think you hit all the good reasons for this. The idea of going anwhere and having your own desktop and files is very nice. I think I will do it with an 80GB drive and put Suse on it. Students could use it at school and have a reliable system instead M$.
Sorry to let you know, but that day came about 15 years ago. There is no place in the automotive industry for a "real mechanic" today. What you find everywhere are "technicians". In the words of my High School automechanics teacher " a mechanic can fix it without the right parts using the wrong tools, it will run well enough to get you some place to fix it right. I can teach a chimp how to just swap old parts for new." All you can do today is swap old parts for new, there is next to nothing on a car that can be repaired.

The reason I mentioned the P95f+ is that it runs at 85 and I detect no flicker.

Thats where a concealed carry permit comes in handy, a .45 in the sensor solves this annoying problem.

Some of us still have our inner child. We're not all old farts. I even have a sense of humor.
Quit taking life so seriously, you won't survive it.
It doen't even have to be dominant. Someone will hack it just to piss off M$. There are some people who do that for fun.

Since it's supposed to be a digital signal, you would think so. I haven't tried to record anything so don't know for sure.

If it was truly usable before SP1 it would be. That's still not saying much.
I've said it for years: "M$ has developed the greatest beta test in history, they con everyone into paying them to be beta testers".
M$ has NEVER sold anything that was not a bug filled beta.
We can only hope! The expense of any M$ upgrade is increased after instalation. The time spent fixing broken aps and cleaning up the extranious crap is a never ending task.
