The plastic layer to the label side is something like 1mm thick, the laser side is 0.1mm thick. So the label side is safer.
Scratches on the laser side, on the other hand, are a different matter. The Blu-Ray group is requiring the use of a particular anti-scratch material that supposedly won't scratch with steel wool. It was used on the PSP face plate and some journalists reported the only way to scratch it was to take a knife and dig into it.
Don't discount the all-out performance of a Pentium M simply because it was designed for mobile use and consumes very little power. I've seen a few gaming benchmarks that showed the Pentium M can keep up with an Athlon 64 pretty well, the difference was no more than five percent. Side-by-side, few gamers would be able to tell the difference unless there was a meter saying what the FPS was.
I forgot to mention, USB Overdrive is a third party program. You are supposed to pay something like $20 (not bad, for the features), but the nags aren't too bad either.
You'll want to unmap that button in Expose' first. That's trivially easy in the Expose' control panel in System Preferences, just select the "do nothing" option. Then you can run USB Overdrive, which I think can do that sort of button mapping, another nifty bonus is that you gain more flexibility in your mouse speeds and accelerations.
I think those are highly temporary, non-insulated structures? At some point, near-permanent structures do need to be made, and for some operations, I imagine time can be critical.
yeah right... like i wanna slashdot my favorite fansubbers.
But if BitTorrent is all that its promoters say it is, it can't be slashdotted. Unless the BitTorrent claims are lies, or overlook its downsides?:) Granted, the main web site isn't BitTorrented, but given that the topic of interest is the low-popularity stuff, it shouldn't be a problem.
What about those mirroring sites that aren't universities?
I hadn't heard of 100Mbps service in the US, definitely not for those prices, but that would be nice. Is it symmetrical? Maybe I'll just have to move when my contract ends, hopefully prices have gone down since then.
I'm not convinced that the cost for bandwidth is that high, what is it, a dollar a gigabyte if you max out a carrier grade (T1 or higher) connection? At least that is what it runs for me on my T1. I do wonder about what it costs for those Linux ISO mirror sites that let anyone download multiple 700MB CD ISOs for free.
For those on asymetric connections (which is what DSL and cable connections are, at least in the US), bittorrent isn't going to work nearly as fast as a straight download, particularly for the cases where download speeds are 10x the upload speeds. For one, bitorrent enforces leach limit, and another, for TCP, when uploading a lot, supposedly the downstream gets throttled to the upstream bit rate.
I'd still prefer a laptop. Carrying around a laptop with a power block and separate mouse is more preferable to the SFF + monitor + mouse + keyboard + power cords.
I think this shows a misunderstanding of what support means. That is the "supported" list, which I think is the slew of programs which they test against. I imagine that a lot more will work, but just because it isn't listed as supported doesn't mean it won't work.
I don't think Shuttle would be dumb enough to produce a product with a PSU that isn't up to its intended task. If the intended task is to run two video cards, then it would probably have a higher rated power supply. Power supply requirements of video cards have been overstated in the past, but I don't think it will be a problem.
It should have been both on a card of their own. It shouldn't have a socket on the main board, the processor should be on the daughterboard. Slide out the Intel daughterboard and slide in the AMD board. Putting both CPU sockets on the mainboard seems to be too much. The Intel daughterboard would have to have a Northbridge on it.
I think the interesting part is the interview. There are a lot of compelling things that are being introduced, if only half of the technologies pan out, I think we may be in for a treat. Mr. RDF did demonstrate a lot of it during his January 2005 keynote.
A power resistor may be easier, but all it does is just waste power to drop the voltage and current. Powering directly off the legs of a switching PSU is more efficient.
I'm pretty sure Beta is easie to say than VHS, just that people are so used to saying VHS. Beta is a real word intended to be used as a word and also has fewer syllables.
HD-DVD is more to say than Blu-Ray too, five syllables vs. two.
I do believe naming is sometimes a factor though, especially if the name has nothing to do with the technology. I was wondering what the big deal about Bluetooth was (at least it's only two syllables). Now I like the technology, for the average consumer, it's just a bit too expensive though.
I think the first two are necessary for any sort of usable mesh. A mesh needs station-to-station AND station-to-user. User-to-user may just as well remain WiFi.

Apple does use Akamai a lot. If I adblock on *akamai*, no images show up on several parts of their site.
The biggest security problems come from the inside. Other employees can't be trusted just because they work for the same company.

Nice idea, but I'm not sure how that would work.
I think could still be prosecuted if a US company is paying an overseas company to do this.
I think this is a dirty tactic. As it is, I don't answer calls which the caller ID is blocked or otherwise not visible to me.

I think this one looks pretty decent though, for the most part it doesn't look gawdy, although the media ports in the center console are a bit much.

Think Secret seems to post it as a fact too.
First, let me state that I want to keep PS/2 ports around, but I really don't think USB is prohibitively more expensive.
I'm not sure what kind of systems you are talking about. A desktop system with USB components might be at most, $10 more expensive than those of PS/2.
A power resistor may be easier, but all it does is just waste power to drop the voltage and current. Powering directly off the legs of a switching PSU is more efficient.
The H.264 video standard is supported with both disc standards. I think what drive ships with Powerbooks and Powermacs will win the mindshare though.

Matsushita also owns JVC too.
