toms test was worst-case and thats what you have to plan for.
Can you really sit there and claim with a straight face that I should be planning for my heatsink to fall off? Should I also be planning for someone running over my box with a truck? I don't even have a power surge protector.
Google's strategy of providing a simple effective search engine has been a breath of fresh air in the industry and it's sucess has been incredible. Take a look at the latest audience reach ratings here. The graph comparing Google to AltaVista is particularly startling. When AltaVista relaunched as a portal site in Nov 99 they initially gained users but as soon as Google appeared it has been dropping like a stone. No other search engine outside the major players (Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Lycos, Netscape) has managed to maintain it's position against Google and it is likely that Google will pass Netscape in the next few months. Even more impressive when you consider that this is only google.com's market share and doesn't count hits from Yahoo or Google's international versions.
When I tried it just now it said "about 10,300,000". 100,000 new porn sites have sprung up in the last few hours! There aren't enough hours in the day!
The price will be dictated by the market. The first Hammer release will likely be the server version SledgeHammer which will be priced to be competitive with Itanium and P4 Xeons. The desktop version ClawHammer will start out pricey as AMD look to clear existing Athlon stock. It'll probably still be at a similar or slightly lower price than the top of the range P4s at the time. It is meant to be a replacement for the Athlon so it will eventually need to be priced accordingly (i.e. cheap) to suceed.
You're confused. In this context ISA means Instruction Set Architecture not ISA bus. It is the job of an IO controller chip (traditionally the South Bridge) to provide IO buses. The CPU has nothing to do with it unless it's an embedded or system-on-a-chip type of thing.
But most porn pics don't actually have "porn" in the filename so they don't get ranked highly when you search for "porn". Try something like "anal". You'll get a few on the first page if you have the mature content filter off.
his storage format is not radically different than any other. Merely more compressed, just like floppy disks became (vs. the 5.25 inch variety), and just like laptop HDs vs. the standard ones.
According to the article this is the guy who invented laptop HDs.
How about having preferences to set the scores that various moderations cause? Then you could set "Interesting" and "Informative" to 0 or 1, Rob can have "Funny" on -2 and so on. Also I'd like to be able to set the default scores for types of users. Maybe I don't want to have the +1 bonus for high karma apply.
Would you pay $250 for a portable player that supported OGG when you can get an equivalent MP3 player for $150? I didn't think so.
I'd certainly consider paying an extra $100 for a player that supports Ogg in addition to MP3, and will support whatever new format comes out next year too.
I don't know a lot about alternative encryption schemes, but the relatively simple math involved suggests that this has the potential to be fast by any standard.
Not by any standard. If you can transmit the key securely than a simple one time pad (i.e. xor with a random key the same length as the message) will be faster. Then of course stuff like PGP doesn't use RSA to encrypt the entire message, DES is used which is much faster. I didn't go into the CP algorithm enough to see how it would stack up against DES or other non-public key algorithms.
The obvious point to the debate is whether or not the solar system has 9 (major) planets or 8. But it doesn't mean much, probably something that gets debated mainly when people are drunk.
It should never have been large enough to ignite nuclear fusion, i.e., a planet is not a star or a stellar remnant.
It should not be orbiting another planet, i.e., a planet is not a moon.
And finally, it should be large enough for its gravity to crush it into a spherical shape.
Pretty reasonable. It would mean that the asteroid Ceres (and probably some of the other larger asteroids) would qualify.
I think the limit was three. I fairly commonly find two or three unfair moderations if there have a been a few incendiary stories lately and I've never been penalised. I can't remember if I ever did four unfair mods.
AFAIK, both Titanic and Shrek were rendered on Linux. (They were using Alphas in Digital Domain and Intels at PDI to do it.)
Furthermore, PDI is using Linux *on the desktop* since early 2001.
It may not have happened this week but it's certainly worth pointing out to people. Especially the desktop use that Linux is getting. Here are a few other earlier articles:
From LWN on HP's focus on the digital content creation market, A ZDNet article (originally from the Wall Street Journal) about ILM and Pixar's migrations to Linux. Apparently Pixar were in the middle of a migration from an SGI setup to WinNT when they decided Linux was a better choice.
There's quite an interesting interview here with Ewart Oakeshott one of the worlds foremost sword experts. One of things he says is that parrying with the edge was probably very rare in battle, pretty much a last resort.
Allan Adler, a vice president at the Association of American Publishers, said that while publishers are often being portrayed as money-gouging bullies, they're merely trying to stay alive.
If trying to take money from consumers for a "service" that isn't needed or wanted isn't being a "money-gouging bully" then I don't know what is. Adler's argument is no different to a common thief saying "I had to do it to feed myself".
EV6 and HyperTransport are different things. EV6 is the system bus used by the current generation of Alpha and Athlon CPUs. AMD licensed it from Digital. HyperTransport (codename Lightning Data Transport) is AMDs next generation system bus.
Google have published OS stats for June in their current zeitgeist. They don't look so good for Linux, with only 1%, well behind MacOS' 4%. Keep in mind that these stats do not reflect marketshare, they reflect total installed user base (of course only for people who use Google).
Palm has significantly more market share than Windows CE, because it does what it's designed to do a lot BETTER than CE.
It may be true that PalmOS does what it's designed to do better than CE, but that's not the reason Palm has more market share. The reason Palm has more market share is simply that it was there first. CE (particularly the iPaq) has been eroding that market share ever since.
All the recent hubbub surrounding the California electrical generation capacity crunch has bandied about figures for big power plants that generate, oh, like 5 GigaWatts. Looks like there's a factor of about 1e8 before terrestrial generation gets anywhere close to Sol's warmth.
Given those magnitudes, I doubt man-made heat generation would be a problem.
Unfortunately you can't just look at total inputs and outputs to draw your conclusion. You need to look at the effects of localized heat generation, particularly on weather. You'd probably see effects similar to the effects large cities have (see this article, for example).

So you'd click a result and then get a page no longer exists message from AltaVista instead of a 404 from the browser. How is that better?

I'm looking forward to DirectK, xMac, iAIM, and Gonqueror.
