Any comments from pactical experience as to the quality of the drives after Hitachi bought the division and started selling them under its own name? I currently have one of the 160GB, and I bought it at Fry's back in January.
I guess the submitter missed this important line on the first page of Anandtech:
It's also worth noting that all of ATI's GPUs will be available in both PCIe and AGP flavors throughout 2004.
If you want to buy an AGP based motherboard this year, go right ahead. If you're worried about AGP cards going up in price, Fry's is selling 128 MB cards based on the 5200 Nvidia line. with TV out, for $90 or less after rebate. Sure, it's not the latest or greatest, but it's pretty cheap for what you get.
Whining about AGP not being on future boards is like whining about ISA not being available. AGP just no longer will cut it, in the future, for the newest and fastest technologies.
Okay, I'm going to put this on my list of titles to think about actually getting, now. I actually enjoyed Wasteland more than than the Fallout series, to the utter detriment of my education one semester, but certainly, if he's head of this company, I'm interested in what he's got coming out.
I'll bet there's several astronauts willing to risk their lives to fly up and fix it, blasting a foam-impact-sized-hole in the wing of the safety excuse NASA is currently trying to fly in the media.
We're seeing great results from the Hubble, it would take a relatively small amount of money, supposedly was already planned for before the last accident, and it would be a significant loss to current astronomical research if this working piece of equipment is allowed to fall out of orbit.
Seriously, call the company, ask to talk to the president of the company, explain to them that his tech almost cost him a major deal, and asks if he still wants one.
Oh, and if you get on good terms with that company, let them know there's at least one network engineer laid off from an international Tier 1 provider living in Dallas, Texas, who talked you into giving him another chance and would looove to move in and replace that tech:)
Becauses there's big money in un refunded deposits - years ago, NY made noise about claiming unrefunded bottle deposits for the states and the soda companies acted like they were being robbed.
Well, to my understanding, in Oregon the money the vendors take as deposit actually goes into a common pool. It's not the bottlers that have access to the money, just the vendors. And they have to submit for reimbursement, which is why they've been trying to get the law repealed for years. If they were making money off it, they wouldn't be upset at the hassle, but they're not.
Besides, you're missing the point - I didn't have to pay deposits on the containers I got in Washington, so if Oregon paid me for them, they'd be losing more money. Denying Washington containers that they know are Washington containers because of UPC doesn't make them more profit, just decreases their loss.
One wonders why they do not create a list of independent lables/artist on Itunes, probably arranged by genre and maybe even city and state.
That way, those who want to support indies can more easily buy the music.
Because they've got huge contracts with the major players, that they had to work hard to get, and don't want to jeopardize, by seeming anti-industry?:)
Why should that matter? The UPC code on Coke cans will be the exact same in Michigan as they are in Ohio, as they are in Canada,etc.
Wrong. Try again. When I lived in Oregon, which was a return state, I often bought soda on my weekend trips to Seattle, and threw the empties later into the can bag in my trunk. At first, the can machines didn't differentiate between the two, but by 2002 it had changed, because I started getting a lot of refusals.
Sad part was, at the grocery stores, I couldn't easily just give them the empties for recycling that didn't qualify... so I ended up leaving them next to the machines, hoping the companies doing the recycling would take the "free money" before the store threw them away. And of course, any aluminum can that didn't have a carbonated beverage was unwanted, as well. So it wasn't really doing a great job of being an incentive for return.
I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call Portland 'ground zero' of anything. ..
Rain?
Funny you should say that. Portland's average rainfall when I moved there was 2 inches less per year than Dallas, where I was moving from - it's just that Dallas only got a few storms a year, whereas Portland has a nice little drizzle at least weekly. I miss that weather.
I was laid off from my network engineering job there in 2002, and had to move back to Texas. But if Portland is finally really becoming an IT hotbed ("Silicon Forest," and all that), I'd gladly move back. (Anyone wanting someone with Juniper/Cisco carrier-level experience and training, respond to this post:) )
For a second I thought this particular Zoom warning was a moral exhortation to game enthusiasts who are minors, but looking at the fact that it's in silhouette showing off the giant hole in the middle of the floppy, it becomes suddenly, painfully, hilariously clear.
You can't say which distros own which percentage of the overall market by looking at server numbers alone. Doing so completely ignores workstations (for that matter, it also ignored embedded Linux as well, but let's not quibble) - and presumably there are a lot more (potential) workstations to run Linux on the desktop than (potential) servers to run Linux.
Geoffrey Chaucer lived appr. 1340-1400. "A Treatise on the Astrolabe" was once believed to have been written for a son of Chaucer's. "Lyte Lowys" (Little Lewis) is, however, presumably the son of a friend, Lewis Clifford. The boy probably died in 1391, which might explain why this work is unfinished. The text is the oldest known "technical manual" in the English language, and it was compiled from different foreign sources. The beginning is, however, Chaucer's very own. This version is the F. N. Robinson edition.
It appears that he wrote it for a friend's kid, who may have died before it was completed. Look beyond what Chaucer wrote, and imagine what might have happened. Possibly, the kid kept asking "Uncle Geoffrey" whenever he visited how his cool astrolabe thing worked, and Chaucer started writing this for him... and then he gets the news that little Lewis is dead.
That's pretty sad, not because he spent time writing this, but because he liked the kid enough to make the attempt, then had to deal with his death. This is more than a scientific document, it's a hint as to what life was like back then.
There are plenty of us in IT that aren't software guys.
I'm having to work outside my field right now, but I'm a network engineer. And I don't mean admining some Windows servers, like most "network" ads are really asking for, I mean configuring Junipers and Ciscos for multi-hop BGP, etc.
Sure, I could become a PHB, but don't I want this company to succeed?:)
That's an excellent explanation. I'd suspected it had a lot to do with having to move around a lot to keep from getting injured or slowing the horse down, but as you might have surmised, I haven't ever ridden a horse myself. Even if I had, your explanation was worth reading:)
...attitude. They deserve this. It's not like anybody is being physically hurt or anything.
They deserve to have their claims refuted in a court of law, and hopefully they will have to pay damages, court costs, and issue full and public apologies, before going bankrupt. If it can be proved that they deliberately lied in these claims, they also deserve criminal charges brought against them.
Vigilanteeism, however, is just malice operating under false pretenses.
SCO's Information Ministry can just point to this and claim more evil Linux users are trying to destroy the software business, etc.
We're right, and we know it. No self-respecting geek would stoop to participating in a DDOS in general, not to mention one against someone/something we consider to be morally bankrupt. We know that we can only claim the moral high road only if we actually stick to the high road... right?
It would be really interesting to find out if it's just some kids behind it, who aren't aware of the difference between right and wrong, or whether it's an entity who has a vested interest in making us look bad...
It is interesting to note, however, that not only is a man on a bicycle more energy efficient than a swimming dolphin, but he is more energy efficient than the same man riding a horse.
Wow, that's a surprising revelation. Please go find that chart and let us know where that came from...
Yeah, I was there !! and I wish I hadn't waited from 08:00 til 14:43 for it !
the store looks nice, but really not as stunning inside as it is from the outside. The week-end after, one could enter the shop without even queuing at all. talk about useless hype...
That line looked insane! I've participated in holiday parades that were shorter than that. What made you think that going there that day would be so much cooler than a week later? Were they offering free stuff, or discounts?
Must not have been useless hype, if it drew all of you in..:)
I wasn't trying to suggest people actually use standard mini-itx boards, but it certainly would serve as an eye opener to see that you could easily and cheaply get something similar (or "better") off-the-shelf.
As far as 386s go, I'm still excited over what the Soviets did in the 70s with the Venus missions, which were covered here recently. If they could get those pictures back then, the upcoming European Venus projects should be quite exciting.
Out of curiosity, how hard is it to learn vxWorks?:) Any books that you can recommend?
Jeeze, give the guy a break. He's a famous geek contributing to the community, that rules.
I wasn't going to say anything, because you shouldn't feed the trolls, but since you did... no kidding! He didn't just play a geek, but really is a geek - who still managed to get married and have kids and stay respectable, even. His nick's been on my friends list from when I saw his first post and checked out his website to make sure he wasn't just pretending.

Ironically, though, if Debian is the new Slowlaris , that means it has it right now.

Yup. As I noted in my first post, I was laid off, there.
That's why I'm surprised to see people thinking it's some kind of hotbed.
So, are you unemployed?

Cool! Thanks for that link, too. Great mad scientist shot at the top, even :)
