Actually, I was guessing that the UNIVAC itself was causing the tubes to burn out, not the tube itself. I can imagine that at 1,000 calculations per second, those things might be a bit more ready to burn out than with more, atleast at the time, common use.
As opposed to buying a case full of fans, I'll just need a proper BTX chassis, board and 1, maybe 2 chassis fans in addition to the CPU cooler itself. No crazy cooling situations. Just simple, honest to god cooling. Like OEMs like Dell do. Dell employs cheap plastic air tunnels to achieve the same effect that a chassis full of fans does! I'm glad this kind of cooling is finally available to us consumers.
the point behind the BTX formfactor was that it's supposed to help enhance airflow in the computer itself. ATX is nice and all, but most chassis these days are crap. (I'd say they blow, but that's a pun I'd like to avoid.) Sure, they worked back when P2s and K6s were the rage, but they're not anymore, and modern CPUs have far more dramatic cooling scenarios to deal with.

Well, as I've said previously, half the time I hear intel, 3/8ths of the time I hear Realtek, and 1/8th the time I hear 3com, and that's usually only on notebooks.

I work techinical support for an isp. half the time I ask what NIC they're using, it's an intel something or another.
Actually, there's also a machine called Dance Sensation 3DDX that has 4 corners + cardinal directions. The corners are the foot pads, the + are the arm motions. or head. or leg, or whatever.
I'm sure the years of effort Kojima and Co have put into metal gear have nothing to do with the IDE or API they used, but rather Kojima smoking 5 pounds of crack a night and putting out games like Metal Gear SOlid 2 and Guitar Freaks.
It's like the NRA themselves say, it's not guns that kill people, it's people.
In Canada, the chance of getting killed by a gun is somewhere near 1/100 the chance it would be in the US, but they still have guns available. In essence, michael moore is DEBUNKING Anti-Gun nuts by stating that the availability of guns isn't what's killing people.
I didn't see that. Had I saw the scene in question with out the context of the rest of the movie, I'd come to the same conclusion too, though.
The conclusion *I* got from that scene wasn't that guns were available, but rather the kid equated the gun to something cool or fun. Something to take to school. And since the mother wasn't around to raise her child, she couldn't teach him that guns aren't toys.
No it wasn't. If you had read both with a critical eye, you'd realize that the K5 article was a weak apologist ranting.
Apologist ranting? Sure. Is it weak? No. It highlights the basic premise of the film, which is what most detractors miss. It'd be one thing if he's entirely off base and just making shit up, but this simply isn't so.
His basic premise is that our culture is violent and the media is a fear mongering machine that plays to the common denominator. It was a culturally driving force since the 1950's and the "Red Threat." Which was fueled more by fear than anything real. Flash forward to today where violent crimes are sensationalized and the media has gotten sloppy with how they report the facts.
(Some could argue that the Spanish-American war was another example of sloppy journalism gone wrong.)
Another great example was buying ammo in the Canadian Wal-Mart. Moore wasn't just "a regular citizen", he's a regular citizen who obtained a firearms importation license in Canada. Through "regular film editing," that part was never mentioned by Moore.
You miss the point again. The overall point was that ammo was being sold in *Wal-Marts.* While the requirements to own and purchase ammunition in Canada may be different than in the US, the fact that Wal-Mart carries them even in Canada highlights the fact that it's somewhat accessable.

Someone submit this thing for X Prize!
uh
read.
He means that some point down the road, the CPUs will be bigger than the boards themselves, thus the joke.
Look at BeOS.
The threading was planned from day one to support multiple processors with out any special coding. It's been a few years, but I think i'm right.
If Microsoft is smart, they'll implement something like this for Longhorn and whatever binary executables are used.
Hideo Kojima did this years before they got to it, he just never got out of the VR planning phase.

wrong
you just need anything when defining main.
example
public static void main(String[] foo)
Another plus for Portland - we have an Air America affiliate.
I like Air America and all...
But I doubt Linus Torvalds would get the intricacies of Al Franken's "Oy Oy Oy Show" segment.
Actually, BTX is going to make things cheaper.

Hate to nitpick, but salt alone isn't going to make you clutch your chest and keel over in pain.
it's usually the deep fried transfat/hydrogenated fat that it's sprinkled on that'll do it.
(Unless you have a deficiency of water in your system, then yeah, that'll do it.)
I'm putting together a weight loss regimine.
I'd rather drink water than diet coke.
And since I shouldn't drink coke in the first place, I'll drinkw ater instead.(Especially after a long run on DDR.)
how's that for priorities?

See?
That's EXACTLY michael moore's point. The culture of fear and paranoia in this nation.
It's like the Michigan Militia. Watching Bowling again, I've noticed that they're just a wee bit paranoid, even if they did seem level headed.
you mean like, Sanwa style sticks?
if you do, YOU ARE THE MAN.

Dude.
Quake3 supports SMP.
Quake3 engine powers loads of games.
Doom 3 will support SMP.
Doom 3 engine will power loads more games.
where's the problem?
I wish I had the board in question. then I would be busy playing quake rather than being sad that I didn't get FP
Yeah, but they DO play Warcraft 3. Which I was struggling with a bit on my old celeron 600.
