This tariff has been in the air for Hynix for a few months now. They're getting it easier than originally proposed: the tariff was originally 57%. Also, the US is not the only one sticking it to the Koreans: the European Commission smacked them with a 37% duty too.
Everyone knows that you can't keep a Beowulf cluster of penguins up for too long; the nodes will all go down as soon as a plane flies over them and trash your uptime.
Television became a necessity when it started to be used to broadcast emergency information to the population. As far as I understand, in the U.S., only off-the-air stations implement the Emergency Alert System (EAS, formerly EBS).
Isn't SAP the database formerly known as [Adabas]?
Kind of; IIRC, it is a fork of Adabas.
What exactly is MySQL contributing to this?
My guess is that the new database will be much easier to set up and manage than SAPDB in its current form. Have you ever tried installing it from source? Saying that it is nearly impossible to get it to compile is an understatement. Setting up a MySQL database is absolutely trivial by comparison, which is (IMHO) the primary reason for its popularity. I'd love to use SAPDB, but I don't have time to deal with the frustration that its installation involves; any improvement in that area would be a welcome change.

GCC 3.3 Released
·
· Score: 2, Informative
Intel 386 family
According to the changelog, i386 support (and source) will be removed in 3.4 unless someone tries to revive it.
Say what?? Don't you mean that only support for Windows NT 3.x has been obsoleted within the x386 family, which is what the changelog actually says?
I bet you'd also like a picture of David Hasselhoff in jeans and a black jacket (at most) as your desktop background, eh? C'mon, I know you would. He's big in Germany, after all.:)
I don't own a PowerBook (only a G4 Cube), but from what you describe, it sounds like the different expansion rates of the materials that make up the case are great enough to cause the bends, much like how a bimetallic strip bends at different temperatures. If the laptop were out of warranty, I'd suggest that you loosened the screws that hold its case together, and turn the computer on. If the case stays straight that way after it has warmed up, tighten the case back up immediately, and you should be OK. If it still wobbles, you might have to loosen the PC board inside.
AtheOS uses the BIOS for disk access, according to the website:
There is an IDE driver on it's way (only tested on one machine, and not part of the current distro). But generally all disk accesses are done through the BIOS, so most IDE and SCSSI disks should work. I even boot AtheOS from my panic ZIP disk every now and then.
I have to wonder what AtheOS' disk performance is, though. It was common during the Windows 3.11 days for disk controller makers to produce 32-bit disk drivers for Windows that would bypass the BIOS and talk to the controller directly, thus avoiding expensive protected-to-real-mode-and-back switches.
I work at a company whose head office is located in an old manor house within a high-scale community. Sometime during the development of the community, before the company acquired the house and while the community's developer was using it as its sales office, the local phone company decided that the manor house's basement would be a good place to house an OC-3 multiplexer (a Fujitsu FLM-150, in this case) to serve the community, despite the fact that the building would eventually become a private property.
A few years later, the developer finished its work, and sold the house to our company, who then sent contractors to upgrade the electrical and network wiring. At one point, they found two pairs of wires that were unmarked, and they couldn't figure out what they were used for (not out of incompetence, mind you), so they yanked them. Come the next day, a telco van was outside, saying that they had received complaints about loss of service and may I please come in to check our equipment.
It didn't take long for the facilities manager to ask the telco to please get the bloody machine out of our property. The requests have fallen on deaf ears, however. We still have the multiplexer here, along with the telco end every pair of analogue and digital lines in the community, including the T1 smartjacks for the country club next door. It is absolutely trivial to come in and open the multiplexer's cabinet and screw around with the linecards inside it, not to mention being able to tap into any of the lines on the demarc's punch panels themselves. The telco knows all of this, but they won't do anything about it because they're too bleeding lazy and it would cost them money to move the equipment to somewhere else.
... but the other one was called a PixelWorks card...as I understand it, they were specifically optimized for displaying and rendering postscript (cause that's what the program made!).
Yay, a NeXTDimension board for PCs!
For those who don't remember, NeXT made a colour graphics card for the NeXTCube called the NeXTDimension, which consisted of an Intel i860 processor running at 33 MHz, up to 32 MB of RAM, and a bunch of video/audio I/O interfaces. The card was designed to offload all Display PostScript operations from the CPU (besides the added video editing capabilities). Since the NeXTStep GUI used Display PostScript for everything, the GUI got a hefty boost from the dedicated hardware.
I wish there was something similar for Display PDF.
... since adobe has ported it's code to a unix (mac os x),
Hhmmm... Well, Photoshop had already been ported to IRIX as far back as version 3. This didn't help them much, though, since the OS X version is a Carbon app (i.e., a whole lot like the Classic version).
IBM once made a PCMCIA-based desktop computer, the PS/2E, which was basically a Thinkpad built into a pizza box chassis. The machine was designed as a "green computer", meaning that it'd consume as little power as possible. It came with four PCMCIA slots built into the back, but the rest was pretty middle-of-the-road: XGA2 graphics, 486SLC2 processor, and an IDE disk interface. As you might imagine, they didn't sell too well.

And with good reason. Did you actually believe that marriage was any different? ;)
