Wow, according to their web site it has plenty of memory also to store photos and other garbage. A whopping 2 MB! That tremendous number is 7% the size of my hard drive back in 1992. Why do they even bother wasting space with a camera? My 3 year old digital camera could barely fit one picture on there.
OK, enough complaining, the phone actually looks cool. Just don't get the camera in the phone thing.
If all you care about are monetary issues, then Austin can be a decent place.
Now if you care about being able to drive somewhere and not live in a shit hole state then Texas is not for you. Low cost of living yes...high quality of life no. The people that rank Austin as one of the best cities to live in never live there....strange. There is a reason living costs are so high in California and NYC...they are great places to live and lots to do. Life is not all about money.
If you do not agree with the ethics of their mandatory credit check you either need to let them know and move on or compromise/rethink your ethical position.
I had to submit to a background/credit check. It was a small invasion of privacy, but one I was willing to make considering credit card companies are running credit checks on you all the time and you don't even know. In addition it was a finance company, so they want to make sure they are hiring people who know what they are doing with their money. Interesting enough, they are against drug testing.
Once you accept a position at a company you pretty much have to bow down to their rules regardless of you stand on an issue. Like the subject says, a company is not a democracy and is run generally by a few key people. Since you are accepting a Director level position you could always bend your stance a bit to try to get the policy changed in the future. Or you can pick your soapbox up and march on out of there.:)
They really made it sound like the Intel processor was some sort of standard while Sparc, PowerPC, etc were all proprietary. Does this guy think Intel is just letting everyone know all their trade secrets and are not putting out a proprietary product?
It seemed to me like the author was more interested in bashing Unix and praising Intel than pointing out the benefits of Linux.
I should have indicated that the jobs are limited to 2 per machine due to the fact they use a lot of RAM, up to 2 GB. So in our case it is more of a memory limitation that prevents us from running additional jobs. If we ran 3 or 4 processes the additional performance from HT would be more than cancelled out by the swapping we would start to see. In cases like this, the additional overhead ends up slowing the jobs down rather than helping.
I can certainly see a boost in performance for a webserver running many httpd's or something similar to that.
Also just wanted to mention the clustering problems involved with HT since many people were starting to talk about Beowulf's.
Tested HT running couple large jobs on a 2 CPU box with each process using over a GB of RAM. Performance went down.
Also HT can play havoc with a openMosix cluster since processes can start being migrated around to CPU's that do not really exist and appear to have no load, yet the physical CPU may be 100% loaded in reality.
This has nothing to do with Motorola's layoffs. In fact it is the exact opposite. Motorola has lacked innovation every since baby Galvin took the company over. Once the dot com era ended and investors really started to look at bottom line it was obvious that Moto was way out of touch and technologically behind on some projects. This is way caused the layoffs. Years and years of weak leadership and poor management. PowerPC chips have been falling behind for years, it didn't just happen when they canned 1/3 of their work force.
just cut the block into a wedge, tape some silver dollars to the bottom to the max weight, and put graphite on the wheels.
this got me first place back in the day and only took me about 15 mins. of work. looked like shit but moved, and it was fun watching it romp on cars that people took days to make.
now to add even more speed to your ghetto looking mini ride. put a miniature powerd by honda sticker on it or perhaps a Type-R sticker and attach a thimble to the back for your coffee can exhaust tip. this should easily knock off a few 10ths...at least that is what the honda guys tell me.

Isn't it a fundamental right to be able to d/l porn?

it is for all the burns they are going to get while working with rocket fuel... :/

It is not all peaches and cream.
