I've been seeing this equally clocked AMD's cost more than the intel part....AND in many checked if you compare the PR# of the AMD part to an intel running at that clock, the intel is cheaper...AMD is definatelky behind in this race, maybe permanently...They really need to push the chip harder if they want to even stay in the race, honestly if they could clock at the same speed as intel they might even have a superior chip, but they would never keep the price in range it seems.
ADD to the Terms Of Service that Windows machines must be part of a domain. Create a domain to which you have the administrative control. Then deploy SMS. You now have control to send blanket upgrades and patches to all the machines. Periodically scan for machines that are not on the Domain, contact the offender, if they don't respond, pull the Plug on the network connection(actually if you have good switches all you really have to do is tell the port not to pass traffic.
It seems some what proper that so many of the revisions of the athlon have had horse names since they seem to keep beating it till they know its good and dead.
Is a 400MHZ bus really gonna help them all that much? How much more can this chip design take?
Just look at EA and the number of great game companies and game series that they have plowed into the ground. Bullfrog and Origin used to be the best everyone of thier titles was excellent until EA showed up...everything after that was a joke, a pale parody of what it used to be...and what they have done to Maxis is just sameful...
That grand combining of game companies that brought Sierra, Dynamix, Blizzard, etc under one house almost cost us the whole thing....Sierra is a shell of it former self, Blizzard somehow managed to survive pretty much intact, thank god...
We need the small time developer they are the ones that drive the industry, by plowing new ground instead of plowing under to grow commodity products on a strict schedule. The larger game companies need to realize that with careful investment in(and not control of) and patience with the right game houses they can make a boatload of cash when the next big idea in games comes out...right now the industry despite some great games is rather stagnant... I can't remember the last time I picked up a Space Flight Sim that wasn't more of the same or that evoked the feelings I got playing WC1,2,3 or X-Wing/Tie Fighter (other titles in those series were more of the same or actually pale shadows of the original games)
Quake was incredible, it broke ground based on its engine, and customizability(which really started as hacks in Doom that they went with)
Unreal was ground breaking, but just like quake really just Doom with prettier pictures
Freelancer is really just WC:Privter(sp?) with a bad control system....
Starcraft rocked, but was basically Warcraft in space....
We need fresh ideas and fresh blood, but the guys with the ideas can't afford to create them... (As an aside I think the cost and complexity of tools is a big factor these days, 3DS Max which seems to be a requirement to complete in the modern Game world is niether cheap nor simple)...

Someone talking about the internet and actually making sense doing it....we can't have that!
Someone who realizes that it is what it is and can't be bent to everyone and their brothers whims...
My thought has always been that the Internet is Chaos and it works best that way....
You want spammers to stop sending spam, start here. 1. Make it illegal to give out free accounts. Having an internet account should cost money.(in otherwords abolish Hotmail, Yahoo, and other such accounts. 2. Require verification and lots of it for establishing an account 3. Mail servers should only accept email for sending out from verified accounts on their own domain, within restricted subnets, if your not on the subnet list you can't send mail.
1. Holly is not as smart as you make her out to be...go after her and get her to dump that other guy... 2. Get your parents to talk to the school and get you into the gifted classes so you have some fun inschool and are with people you can actually get along with. 3. Renee is a slut don't waste your time... 4. Buy Yahoo, Red Hat, Microsoft 5. When you meet Heather don't be an idiot and waste 10 years she likes you, be more agressive and get things rolling earlier 6. High Technology job get into it earlier 7. Don't resist the web
I am up to chapter 3 and thus far its in very very good, and extremely thought provoking....
He also has another story in the fiction section over this called "passages in the void" I believe that I have read which is shorted, but just as good...
This guy isn't a professonal writer yet, but hopefully he will trun that way, he's quite good....
36GB? Give me a call when the 160, 200, or 320's are in that range for price and reliability. Its just more cash scamming. I've seen 36GB drives for as low as $50...the testing makes the price go up stuff is pure corporate %&***^)(....
Umm...I beg to differ however if your ISP gives in to threats from a third party and cuts off your access witrhout discussion its the same damn thing...its the govenment shutting you down by proxy. And this is a definate free speech violation is the same thing as some company threating a news paper for a story they wrote, and going after the people who manufacter the paper its printed on...to enforce the threat.
Personally I have no problem with companies collecting taxes on internet purchases as long as it follows the same gneral rule as mail order(which isn't bying something off a web site just another mail order venue)...in otherwords taxes are collected if you live in the same state as the business in question (where are Amazon's servers, well that state pays taxes) or any state the business has business presence in...does amazon have office sin MA, well then I would except to pay 5% ales tax on my purchase. I just don't understand why this is such a confusing issue when businesses have been doing this for years.
If the things you say have supporting evidence then shuting you down is a violation of your free speech rights. Sue the ISPs who turn you off... then sue the company getting you shutdown...
Second of all Host on a Cable modem or DSL line...on your own server.
1. No open relays.... 2. Stop accepting unverified free accounts on things like yahoo, and hotmail.
Let me expand on this, in my vision the account would be able to accept all the mail it wants, and it would be able to respond to mail it received. However inorder to send cold mails, some verification of the users real existance would need to occur(real world address or something like that). Of course it also wouldn't hurt if sending more than a few address at a time from such accounts were disallowed.
I wasn't going after best picture specifically....I was going more gnerally on the movies that usually clean up at the awards shows...especially a it relates to our community..."News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters"
*Begin Rant* The last time an actual deserving movie that the movie going public actually enjoyed, got nominated for anything was the orignal "Star Wars"...I'm sorry, but best picture, and best actor, etc should have at least something to do with the films appeal to the masses. If the general public from 9 to 90, Male, Female, White, Black, Yellow, Red, Green whatever isn't interested its not a good film, and doesn't deserve awards. The truth of the matter is all these awards are about self-indulence and self congratulations for the Holloywood in crowd. Its the equivilent of masterbation...if you don't play with the in crowd and join the jerk circle you don't get the big nominations. The "Lord of the Rings" Movies for the most part look and feel exactly like the books always appeared in my head...that should count for something, however it doesn't because of the Masterbation appeal of the other movies that did get nominations(which btw I personally feel most of them cheated with limited releases just before the deadline so slip under the nomination wire)...
I really can't say a whole lot more than that...whoever wrote this up is clearly out of their mind. Especially since there are ways to avoid nearly everything thats mentioned there. The comments about the page ranking are the some idiototic babbling we always hear. Googles ranking system is setup so you can't articifially incrwase your traffic, they will never publish a standard that tells you how to cheat the system, so give it up....
Actually, if we discover such a problem, and we frequently do, its also our job to solve the problem...is it an internal app? Work with the internal developers of it to resolve the incompatibility. Or perhaps escalate back to MS, they do listen.
No I could careless if it didn't have a payload, cause if it had and the situation repeated, perhaps it takes out a hospital while your laying there dying....
Thats a load of crap, any decent company has a test integration lab(I know we do, I'm in the group that runs it). Patches do thake time to test a week or two not 6 months...and once you have it tested there is a little thing called SMS from MS it makes deployments like this snap.
actually thats the programmers fault not MS the programmers of windows programs being lazy assaholes are the reason that so many programs require admin rights to run properly. I've written tons of windows software at work and not a bit of it requires anything beyong user rights.
