I am sitting here typing this on an 2001FP right now, and I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Something is wrong with your driver setup, maybe reinstall your OS and see what happens. I've never noticed a lag on my 2001FP in my life.
No you idiot, what crashed the tech economy was investors coming back to their senses. Back in 99-early 2000, investors were willing to throw money at anything related to technology, even if it was a big money loser and it was stupid. Go to quote.yahoo.com and look at the charts of CMGI, INSP, MSTR, JDSU, and about 1000 other tech companies.
The tech boom was nothing but a bubble. You can't tell me with a straight face that CMGI and it's steaming pile of crap websites is worth $50 billion, I'm sorry. All that extra bubble capital in the tech economy went to hire more workers for new projects. Now that it's gone, those extra jobs are gone too. Other companies like EXDS were losing millions per quarter and relied on investor funds to keep going. When the investors bailed, the firms went bankrupt. Get used to it, because this is they way it has always been before about 1995, and the way it will always be.
This isn't the "fault" of anyone except investors, who paid the price - QQQ is about 65% off its high in April 2000.
It won't happen unless Moore puts up a bunch of money to buy up two hours of network time like Perot did in '92. No network is going to show political propaganda for free, especially during an election year. They would have half the voters in America calling in to complain and starting boycotts.
Also, it's just wrong to show something so slanted over the public airwaves. What if a pro-Bush documentary was shown on ABC the week before the election? You guys would be screaming bloody murder...
Even though I'm a CS major and I really like tech stuff, if my school entered in an agreement to give everyone an iPod or whatever I'd be pissed. There's no such thing as a "free" iPod, you are paying for it with your tuition. What these schools are basically doing is forcing all entering students to buy an iPod which is wrong. What if I don't want an iPod? What if I like Dell's music player better??
You want to talk about "First Amendment zones"? You obviously have a short memory. Do you not remember the caged protesters in Boston at the Democratic convention?? Or did you already forget the people freely walking on the street during the protest at the Republican convention on Sunday???
It seems your attacks are better targeted at Democrats.
I swear, the vermin that inhabit Yahoo boards are the biggest idiots on the planet. Half the posts there are either blatant racist trolls, or stupid political trolls like "BUSH = HITLER" or "Hanoi Botox Kerry is a TRAITOR". These idiots have nothing better to do than sit around all day pretending that they are making a difference in the upcoming election.

Come on now, $3500 for a quad server isn't anything close to "cheap". Checking pricewatch, you can buy a quad Xeon board for under $500, and Xeons@2.4GHz for under $250. That leaves you with $2000 to spend on a power supply, hard disks, etc, for a machine that will kick the crap out of this great machine IBM will release sometime in the future. And when Opteron comes out IBM's machine will look like even more of a POS.
LSD Round Up

Why spend your christmas bonus check on an LCD when you can have some REAL FUN?? Here's my LSD round up:
Weed - This is a kind of a ho-hum boring drug that everyone does at least a couple times in their life. Smoking weed basically makes you tired and hungry and makes you laugh at everything, even things that aren't funny. I recommend you stay away from this if you are looking for a big party. Weed is cheap though, you can get an ounce of good stuff for around $300(on the west coast anyway).
Ecstasy - I've never done this, but my homies tell me that popping a pill is like having a two hour orgasm. Sounds like fun. Also, if you give these to chicks, they tend to get really freaky with you. Best experienced with loud repetitive electronic music. The cost is generally $10-$20 per pill.
Speed - This drug is a trip. Does saying awake for four straight days sound fun to you?? And when you're done you'll sleep for three more. I bet you'll have to take a piss really bad when you wake up. I'm not too sure about the price, maybe $50 for a hit.
Cocaine - The drug of choice for rich white people. I personally think that coke is for wusses, both heroin and crack will get you way more wasted. Prices are around $75-$200 for a gram, depending on quality and who you know.
Crack - This is probably the most fucked up drug ever made. The price is cheap, maybe $20-$30 for a good sized rock. I guarantee you that smoking crack will give you the greatest high of your life. Problem is, that high only lasts five minutes. And so you're going to want more. And more. Stay away from this unless you have tons of money.
Heroin - Heroin and coke are closely related, both come from opium. Heroin is much stronger than coke though, it's for people who don't fuck around with that sissy stuff. You can snort this stuff like coke, but it's usually not as good. The best way to do H is to melt it and inject it. Be careful not to OD though. Prices are around $50 to $125 per gram.
LSD - If you can only use one drug during the holiday season then LSD should be the one!! This stuff will make you trip out and see spiders and scorpions all over the walls. All those hippies in the 60's did LSD, so you should too. Prices are pretty reasonable, around $3 to $10 for a hit. Be sure to buy more than one.
Well that's it, I don't have time to cover shrooms or cat tranquilizer, maybe next time. Be sure to have a safe holiday season, and remember: WINNERS DON'T DO DRUGS.
Yeah, this guy is a total loser, he is only interested in making money. This is totally different from IBM, O'Reilly and especially VA Software/Linux/Whatever, they only want to contribute to open source world domination. In fact, VA is happy to lose millions every year. Imagine, a company only interested in making money!! Someone should tell the FBI to bust these BitKeeper clowns.
I run BitKeeper on my GNU/Linux box at home and I had no idea that BitKeeper was "the whip hand of proprietary software", I SWEAR. I'll delete it right away, I'll even format my hard disk ten times to remove the contamination. PLEASE RMS, DON'T KICK ME OUT OF THE TREEHOUSE!!
Look at the top of the ladder, look at the Korean tournament players. There are a good number of protoss and terran players there. The game is pretty balanced. You can NOT win every time(or even close to every time) against a decent player by following some strategy by the book and not adapting to your opponent's moves. The fact that you think that Zerg are unbeatable shows that you're a starcraft noob.
Where does Osama Bin Laden get his money?? From DRUGS like HEROIN. Why do people use heroin?? Because losers like TWEAKERS.NET glorify its use. BOYCOTT TWEAKING - IT'S BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH.
Remember - If you visit tweakers.net then YOU are supporting terrorism. YOU are responsible for the Sept. 11th attacks. YOU are a murderer. REMEMBER THAT.
Today is Memorial Day, and it's time to remember all the sacrifices and hardships that people have gone through to preserve our freedom. We owe our past and present military personnel a debt that can never be repayed. These people are willing to take a bullet so that you can continue your way of life. This is the definition of heroism.
It saddens me when I see trolls on slashdot abusing that freedom. Thousands of heros gave their lives on September 11th so you can all run around posting links to goat sex internet pages?? All you trolls need to take a look in the mirror and ask yourselves: Am I paying propper service to these heros with my actions??
I belive the root of the problem lies in the fact that the generation coming into adulthood right now has never had to make any sacrifices. My generation fought in the Vietnam War, and the generation before fought in WWII. But this generation's idea of sacrifice is giving their girlfriend oral sex. In order to remedy this situation I think the draft should be reinstated right away. Let these youngsters learn how to sacrifice and risk their lives, so that when they come back they can be better citizens. Many people think that sacrifice is not necessary today. These people are just like terrorists, they want to destroy the fabric of America. Do not let them. Do not forget that people died for you.
Boba Fett's father is...YODA!! Yup it's true, Boba's real name is "Yoda Fett", but to keep his lineage a secret he changed his first name slightly to "Boba". That's why he always has that mask on! Short green dudes with hair growing out their ears never get the hot chicks.
