I'm another person that doesn't have access to mass transit. The transit system of the closest city is kind of a mess. A person might wait in some places for 45 minutes for a buss that are supposed to run every fifteen minutes.
There are some remediations afforded to copyright owners to prosecute copyright violators in foreign countries. It is a treaty that most countries have signed and are supposed to abide by unless they formally withdraw from that treaty.
The DMCA is unenforcable outside the US but because of this Berne Convention it is legitimate to prosecute copyright violation.
Microsoft, unyielding, relies on their own developers who are slowly (but rapidly gaining speed) migrating to the more stable Unix-based systems.
Actually, Microsoft's current systems are more a kluge of the Windows API onto VMS. NT has a great many VMS-isms, in part because one of the lead developers of VMS was hired by Microsoft to spearhead their more enterprise operating system. Microsoft had since licenced VMS technologies to put into NT 5 (2000, and 5.1, XP) and into NT6 (I guess Longhorn). Whether they are still persuing it, I don't know.
A researcher outside MS had Windows for Itanium and made an exploit for it. If for nothing else, it shows that a Microsoft product that *nobody* really uses has easy to find exploits, that it has nothing to do with market share, profile or popularity.
I think it might be due to the fact that there isn't much by the way of Blu-Ray drives, but one can technically write an HD-DVD onto a DVD-R, because that's one of the smaller official sizes in the standard. There aren't any real HD-DVD drives or players available for consumer or pro use either, I think it's just demo and prototype hardware.
Apple may just be in both consortiums. I know one of the Korean hardware makers is too. I don't think Apple would be smart to provide "pro" tools and neglect both of the consumer formats, assuming that the formats don't merge eventually.
How many people that played half life knew what it meant? I think it's just one of those cool-sounding words that sound dangerous because of a link to nuclear radiation.
That would be a HUGE carry-on. Did you see how it makes a Shuttle-style case look like a pipsqueak computer? And that's not counting the necessary monitor. It's also over 10kg (~23lb), given that neither geeks nor gamers are the typical weight lifters, that might be a strain for some in the crowd.
The newest IE for Mac doesn't even try to render it. Safari for OS X 10.3.9 does worst than Firefox. Camino and Firefox both yield the exact same results for me.
I'm curious how they know for sure it looks that way if no browser does it right? I mean, it's possible that they made a mistake in designing the character?
And over a long period of time, a marginal magnetic field could do... what again? Flip a bit here and there, as opposed to a bulk erase?
I don't think it will necessarily flip a bit any more than a refrigerator magnet might pull the nails out of the wall, you need a certain amount of field strength to do that and DC motors just don't. Heck, there are magnetic motors in the hard drives themselves so I guess they are causing problems too?
Computers have had a lot of fans in and around them for a long time and to my knowledge, no detrimental effect has been found. Heck, when I assembled computers, I remembered a lot of computers that had unshielded PC speakers on the bottom side of the drive cage, or otherwise just below the drive mount location. Has any problem become of that?
Magnetic materials need to have a certain amount of magnetic field in order to have its polarity even nudged, anything below that level is immaterial.
There are loud 15k RPM drives, but my drives are surprisingly quiet, quieter than a Shuttle case fan, but that isn't saying much. I have a single 15k RPM drive as the boot drive in my HTPC. The quiet flow of air through the fans is louder than the hard drive.
As it is, Seagate's 2.5" Savvio 10k RPM SCSI drives were tested to be quieter by Storage Review than even Seagate's 3.5" 7.2k RPM desktop drives.
The magnetic field produced by a small DC fan might not be enough to faze the platter. It takes a magnetic field of a certain strength to make a change in the data bits.
I have a few Compaq Xeon workstations that placed the drives transversely in front of the system power supply so cooling air can pass between the drives. I have yet to see a problem. It's designed to cool 15k RPM drives very quietly. The PSU fan itself is a slower 12cm fan, placed on the intake of the PSU, only a few cm away from the drive's edges. It's very quiet for a PC, and very impressively quiet for a system with a 15k RPM drive in it.
I think selling illegal copies of other people's works is bad, and I'm not for distributing illegal copies of other people's works for free, but I wonder about jurisdiction here. Is it really the job of state and city cops to enforce federal law? Or are there city and state laws against this?
It seems the only boards that bothered with AMD chipsets were boards intended for server and workstations.
I think the 8000 series chipsets are still made, but generally are only put in Opteron systems. They had not yet made a PCIe replacement for the 813x chips. I think that update will become necessary in the next year to keep pace in the server market, though PCI-X seems to still be going pretty strong.
In that case, I think running in administrator mode just makes it harder to remove the infection. I think it's trivial to trojan people into running bots that run in user space rather than system space. It's just not necessary to make such a program because it's easier to assume they are running as admin.
The end users do care somewhat, they go with what they've heard most about. Intel has a huge marketing budget to keep their name "out there" in terms of mass market, and AMD has practically nothing in that regard. AMD has depended solely on cost for the penny-pinchers, and the geek market word-of-mouth.
Tyan K8QS supports four processors, has sixteen slots for up to 32GB. 24GB RAM in only six slots assumes 4GB ram DIMMS which I'm not certain are available yet.
I've seen some pretty irrelevant-looking stuff in there. 64 bit audio format? What the heck? The dynamic range of human hearing is something like 18 bits, I know audio is mastered in 20 or 24 bit. It is physically impossible to reproduce 24 bits per channel audio in the analog world with air, speakers and so on. Recording with much more depth than 20 bits would be just recording more noise, so I don't see the point in going beyond 32 bit even for authoring.
I think I'll go through the list and try to sort it by relevance.

Have you ever heard of children listening to their parents?
That requires pragmatism. Advocates rarely advocate pragmatism.

Look up the Berne Convention.

It depends. Telephone companies are still somewhat regulated in many areas. Same with energy companies. Among those regulations are price regulations.
If one carmaker gets fined, and they raise their prices, that makes the competitor's cars more attractive.
More than that, Henry Ford also gave money to the eugenics movement, which was a xenophobic and racist ideology under the guise of science.
I think it's easier to keep 1000 upset Frenchmen at bay than the same number of Mexican illegal immigrants.

I think it's basically a veiled, yet public admission of their release policies ever since Microsoft was founded.

No, you'd need to run six systems like that at full load to match the output of a hair dryer or one of those "cube" ceramic electric heaters.
The parent post to yours does not say "mobile" chip. I misread that first too, but it was "module".
Also, if you scrutinize the article, 244 watts is the power consumption of the entire computer, not just the CPU.
