good for them. With the recent troubles that Intel has been having, I wonder how long AMD is oing to be able to keep up the pace without a stumble. More power is always good, but is quality suffering?
I'm not saying all this is not a viable concept, I actualy love the idea, but managers shoulden't go into this thinking this will save them loads of money or resources.......
Instead of purchasing more hardware and software and hiring the IT staff needed to set up and support it, an emerging technology called peer-to-peer (P2P) computing will let users access valuable resources when they aren't being used.
Pardon me, but how do they figure P2P will implement itself? Any new tech needs a human being to set it up, maintain it, format the results and queries and explain the whole thing to the boss. This tech will save money with companies by allowing them to get more computing power for less cash, but the up-keep and back end is still needed. Maybe the figure this will be a nice little project for all those lazy IT folks just lounging around doing nothing...I'm certain the SETI thing isn't running itself...... Porivo's Peer client, which resides on a user's desktop, works with the company's PeerPlane management software, which can reside on a dedicated server. Great, we all have an extra dedicated server laying around..
Then why are you complaining?? still beats the shit out of fliping burgers. Fine.. You know unix.. is that stoping you from trying to get a better job? Working for a larger company? If you can't find a job you enjoy where you live, MOVE. I only mentioned MCSE 'cause that's where I'm at.
Up until the last four years, I was, on paper anyway, qualified to clean toilets or flip burgers. No colege education, not outstanding HS grades ect.. Bought some books, got my MCSE, MCP+I, and a 43k a year job. I was amazed at how EASY it was. Shure this job has more stress, worse hours, but it's worth every pain. better than getting yelled at for leaving the fries in too long
Now, tell me to find another job? Most of the people I know in positions like mine are in the same boat around here. I'd like to know how far I'd have to move to find a technology related job that wasn't this worthless, but thus far haven't been pushed 'quite' far enough to work that hard at it.
Sounds like you found your own solution. "push" yourself into a better position. Go buy some books, get an MCSE or just a MCP, submit resumes, perfeably at a LARGER company that has more of an upward track and stop bitching about it. The only reason your in this position is 'cause you won't leave it.
Life is good. I agree completely. No college degree, self educated MCSE making better than 40k a year, own my own house... 2 cars... The Midwest might be a technological black hole, but it's easy to find boundless opportunity. I thought about moving to Chicago, California,.. A bigger market of some kind, but the cost of living is outrageous compared to the increase in salary. I mean.. Where else can you get a house 2 blks from Lake Michigan for less than 100k? (Yes, it's a very good neighborhood) And no, we don't talk like dat der heh.. That's South Dakota.

We see this issue on and off when we try to squeeze a larger hard drive/incompatible harddrive into a new system. Usually, we are able to format and ghost a system without errors, then when it boots, it just goes to a flashing prompt in the upper left corner, never to boot again. If we try to boot off a floppy or CD at that point, it just kicks out to the same prompt, like what you are seeing. The only way we can recover this is to use a third party utility, like EZdrive. the system WILL boot to an EZdrive disk for some reason. Check the disk access mode in the BIOS, and harddrive parameters. Maybe LILO is fine, boot sector under the FAT partition is freaking out. Otherwise, a larger power supply won't kill you.
Same reason kids arn't let into rated R movies, cant buy playboy..ect.. if their parents don't mind, they can acompany the kid, or use their own computer. it's a dicy issue, and it comes down to proper education and parents that actualy care.

Being that Linux is primarily an open source OS, are there any plans to release the code for the console and games?
