My take on that was that there is no *internal* crossover. A real subwoofer should have an active crossover before the (dedicated) amp. This pretty much goes for any situation - The one exception may be (but usually isn't) the LFE channel on surround recordings, where the channel only contains low frequency sounds. Most surround preamp/receivers do low-pass filter this channel anyway before sending the signal out, and many active subs have a built in adjustable active crossover (before the included amp, so one could argue that it isn't part of the subwoofer).
Anyway, a proper system design would ensure that your sub would never receive 10KHz tones, and therefore you would be safe from the cone breakup effects, etc..
Ok, so several people have mentioned that you can order Papa John's over the web (though it really isn't the focus of the article)... Pizza Hut does too, in many areas, as do several others. The larger issue is, of course, that Papa John's is a meager step up from Dominos (which doesn't even qualify as real pizza most of the time).
Now if they offered free broadband at Ray's... that would be something - real good pizza, and fast access.
Yes, but their Ultra 3 is over a year late now, and by the time it is released, it won't even be able to match up with the IBM p-series (RS/6000s) and HP SuperDome in terms of TPC-C, and they still don't have anything coming close to a mainframe (in terms of high availability and performance). Especially with the bad press for the memory corruption problems this past year, they aren't looking good. It's too bad, too - the SPARC architecture is some really great stuff.
Check out IBM and their 'Shark' product (along with other HA SAN stuff). I've heard good things about it - might be worth an investigation. Supposed to work with any platform, not just IBM stuff, but you'd have to check it out.
Pssst!
Bush was a one-termer... he still has a term of eligibility left.
Think Grover Cleveland (of course, that was well before the 26th amendment, which FDR made possible).
Most Volkswagon factory stereos have (since ~93) had an 1/8" stereo input jack on them... cassette, radio, and input for the line-out from your CD or (now) Nomad. The best of both worlds. No crappy tape adapter, no crappy RF (both of these are severely bandwidth limited compared to CD).
I have a probably ~6GB of mp3s (after my last purge), and 80% of those I wouldn't need with me in the car...
Ok, so I've 2 256MB registered PC-100 SDRAMs in a system that has a couple of extra UW 9GB drives around... but it's only a 300a@450... hmmm, guess I'll wait for a while.
Sure, do it the 'real' way... I still think it was funny that trash worked for files on the floppy, too. One time (I never did use macs very often) I 'deleted' a bunch of files from the floppy, to make room for the others... available space > 1MB, file size ~300k... wouldn't fit... little did I know that I had to flush those files out of the trash bin first (you can even eject the disk without really deleting them?!). That and there didn't seem to be any good way to individually delete files in the Trash Bin... (get rid of these, I did that, but keep these others, since this isn't my computer, and some people store things in there...). There was probably a way, but it wasn't obvious.
That eject button thing sounds kind of neat, but why not just right click on the floppy and pick eject... oh wait... only one button... damn.
So... AMD (or any other company) should have a rep visit every mom-and-pop computer store in the world who sells their products? (not to mention that I also mentioned end-users, but we'll forget about that for now). The big chains aren't usually the ones being overly deceitful, they just charge an appropriately marked up amount on everything. I'll buy CDRs there, but I won't buy the drive to burn them on. I wasn't talking about the big stores - but you knew that, because you work at Comp USA...
This isn't about not standing up for the consumer, it's the practical notion that there are thousands upon thousands of places that sell these products, and are usually a step or two past the original sale. The AMD approved resellers are watched, yes, but when somebody offloads a bunch of Durons to Joe's Donuts and Durons, there's nobody there looking over his shoulder.
The point is, once IBM has sold you a Thinkpad, it's not their responsibility if you leave it at a bus stop. If AMD sells chips to BigCo, and Joe's buys a load Durons off BigCo, it's not AMD's responsibility what happens to those chips. It sucks if you are a dumb consumer who falls for tricks like this, but you can't blame the original manufacturer. I fully support stringing up any retailer who isn't fair with you (large fines, penalties, etc), but blaming AMD for the reseller's behavior is like blaming J&J or Merck when some pharmacist sells drugs that he bought off of the street. Both are illegal practices, are bad for the consumer and munfacturer, but the blame does not reside with the manufacturer.
Does anybody really use the 'Bin? Set it to delete on first try, but prompt you - no waste of space, and you get another chance (right away) to see what you are doing... the recycle bin is a bad adaptation of a worse MacOS feature. Any OS that makes me eject a floppy by dragging it to the trash is just not right (not trying to start a war here). OSX (I will pronounce it "oh ess ecks", so sue me) looks pretty good, though there's a few things that seem to be even less intuitive than with the earlier Macs...
I have e-mail from 1995 in Eudora still (one of the big reasons I use it), and all the stuff from before that is all tar.gz'd.
Hopefully this recall of the P!!! and the Timna announcement, along with that huge hit to their stock price will open some people's eyes - maybe then people will look at things objectively. Intel is still the leader in x86 server hardware, to be sure - until AMD comes out with a stable SMP solution, there really isn't too much of a challenge. AMD has been gaining some mindshare, but they won't be able to approach the success that Intel has traditionally had until they get a 4-way system going and have that backed by a major distributor (read: Dell/Compaq/Gateway). I like AMD, but there are some times when reality still pokes its had in.
Hmmm, and when someone steals my Thinkpad, that's IBM's fault, right? You make no sense at all... Once AMD has sold the chip to a reseller or end-user, they don't have a rep at each place keeping watch over every piece of hardware - neither does Intel, IBM, HP, Sun, Dell, Gateway, TI, Motorola, etc....
"...their lack of quality control spawns sinister acts such as this." - that's the biggest piece of nonsense I've heard since OOG last posted (at least he is funny).
VRML sucked, it will continue to go unused by everyone, and nobody will care. It's just another case of a passing fancy that somebody had, and now their ego won't let it die, so they have to keep re-inventing it until they get their ego stroked "no, really, we like what you made - not everyone thinks that it is crap - just 99.999% of the world"
Why? I've never even used ext2 on a floppy (or other small removable media). Use DOS format or Minix if you really need to. You can use JFS on a JAZ or ZIP, since they look like any other SCSI disk.
On my RS/6k, I use DOS format for floppy disks, and JFS on the drive... you shouldn't have a need for JFS on a floppy.

And you, too... not to mention that it happenes to be 'affected' not 'effected'.

well, yes, but it saves that step of explaining what the key does ;-)

My favorite is the break key - I hit that, and I'm out getting coffee and a donut!
Home doesn't seem to work right, though.
Now all I need is a foosball key.
>Business owners couldn't pull up all that deleted email from the ex-employee, etc....
That's why you run Lotus Notes, and keep backups - everything is stored on the server, and deletes really don't mean delete...

It won't be nearly as hot!
>What more could one ask for?
:) That, with DDR... mmm, good times, noodle salad!
The SMP chipset
Don't worry - if that doesn't happen, it looks like the P4 (heck, the Merced, too) will end up using about 1.21 GigaWatts - that's even more fun.
Hmmm, and when someone steals my Thinkpad, that's IBM's fault, right? You make no sense at all...

Your subject line is correct - you are spouting typical JAVA-FUD...
