That's what I heard. Or if you had more than one device that used the dongle (which was on the parallel port) you had to daisy chain them. You'd see people talking about fried dongles a lot. Or dongles that wouldn't work with other ones, etc...
open a starbucks franchise just made my list of things to do if I ever lose my mind.
I read a few years back out McDonalds franchise owners complaining about the competition between the various mcdonalds - hell...they have it easy compared to this.
And I know lots of people who understand the comedies just fine. It's nice to see humor that isn't based on talking about booty or whatever tripe UPN has lately, or the same crap over and over on the major networks.
About the only problems I ever have is sometimes they will make reference to someone who may be well known in the UK but who I have no clue. This usually happens when watching some of the older "Are you being served's".
I saw one of these in the primaries last week. A nice 70 year old lady at the voting place showed me how it works.
It really is that simple. About the only tricky thing probably to people is to put the card in. After that you just touch the candidate you want. Of course, it would be interesting to have a picture of the candidate on the screen, but given the way some rural areas are, that may not be a good idea...then again, hopefully you know something about the person you are voting for.
I've been saying that as software gets optimized for the P4, it'll start seeming to be the faster processor - Look at Lighwave 7, 3dsmax 4.2sp1, and now this.:)
the saftey deposit box may have physical property, but money isn't really a physical property anymore.
The article mentioned stock certificates which is probably a closer analogy. They are just pieces of paper that say you own some stock. So how do you "get" the stock - it's not a tangible thing. But there are a lot of companies running in fear of the SEC over these non-physical things right now.
But how liable should verisign be? If they acted in good faith (okay...calm down...that was funny) and thought the transfer request was legit how liable should they be?
Must be a personal thing - I used the original shipping version with MSDN and have had no problems...albiet I'm just using it like a new version of visual studio and not the.net stuff.
What must really be fustrating is after spending $465, they probably wanna charge you some ungodly minute rate to be told how to get around the problems in their products if you can't figure it out yourself.
Thanks I think (my brain hurts). I guess I'm just too dumb to get it.
If I'm accelerating to the speed of light, at various points I'll be travelling at various speeds - 5mph, 10mph, 10000mph, etc... At 5mph going up to 50mph, a second is still a second right and if it takes me 30 seconds to go from 5mph to 50mph, it takes me 30 seconds, my vehicle 30seconds and the earth 30 seconds.
So if it takes me 1 day to accelerate to the speed of light (cause of the new spoiler on the back of my honda spaceship:) a day has passed for me and the earth no? I guess that's where I get confused.
Do you know of a good web site or book on this - I'd really like to understand it.
c'mon...when you install VS.Net, it has a series of prereqs that the installer program installs, including the.net framework. Did you completely bypass that setup and go right to the vs setup?
30-pin simms. You can find them at computer shows now being sold as keychains for $1. I still remember buying 4 1M SIMMS for a total of $100 to make X run faster on my 386/33, and like a week later some fab plant blew up and it jumped to about $100 per Meg.
Look at the Lightwave and 3dsmax benchmarks, where code optimized for the P4 kicks AMD's butt.
How likely is it that Visual Studio.NET 2 or whatever is P4 optimized? How likely is it that Adobe and other big players start optimizing their code for the P4?
Depending on how you feel about the above questions is how much it matters what AMD can do with less transistors.
Then again, cost is also a issue, and Intel just can't win there.
And if you step out on Alpha Centauri itself, I think what's going on at home will be the least of your problems.
Anyway, I hope you are right about Einstein not being right. I really need to try to understand relativity sometimes - to me if you go at the speed of light for 4.2 years to Alpha Centauri, then 4.2 years should have passed - both for you and at home.
I guess I just refused to accept that the speed of light is the limiting factor....kinda like saying that time goes backwards if you go over 55mph on the highway.
All we really need to do is find a huge pocket of melange though and all our problems are answered.:)
What I was thinking is that they'd then realize this ISP is just wasting their time and filter the isp from their hunt and kill programs, which would make this ISP a haven for filesharing.
Yeah...It was the only band name that popped into my head. I was sitting there struggling trying to come up with a current act.
At first it said Spice Girls, then I realized they've been gone for quite some time. I guess I could have used Pink - only other current act I can think of.
oh wait - just thought of Britney Spears - how did I forget her.

I'm getting married next month, and when my wife and I make love on our wedding night, it will be the first time for both of us.
And then 20 seconds later...
sorry couldn't resist - congrats...best wishes.

sounds like it is designed not to allow a cd-cd copy.
Why can't I just rip an image, or at least open the cd and copy the files to my hard drive?
Why can't I patch the program after the above not to decrypt?
I seem to remember that DeCSS came about cause of these "no one will ever get our keys" security.
What about older CD drives?
good lord.

Hey...what do you know...giving the software away and selling stuff people are giving away isn't making us money.
Well...we do have this company we bought that was making money some years ago. Perhaps we could try selling that product and see if it makes money.

What's the problem

I have a Computer User or Byte or some magazine from 1982 where a 5Meg hard drive for an apple II was about $4000. Need to scan that in. :)

I wonder what intel has up there sleeve once AMD has SSE2. Then again, amd had mmx for a while before intel was able to try to resteer the cart.
I agree though - it does take forever for the world to move.

Easy - subspace beacons :)

THANK YOU. All the years I lived up there I was too lazy to find out why it was so prevalant.
And the CNN link was just a funny bonus!
Perhaps all the other buildings have ubercool names like FabFactory, Coders Junction, etc... and by choosing Building 323 they were being flairful :)
Then again, when you are in FISHKILL, how flairful of a name do you need (why are there so many towns in NY that end in KILL?)
