If you're the test pilot you really got to hope they finished the code on the ejection seat at least, at 1,200 mph even a few seconds of reboot time is enough to turn you into part of the scenery at the test range.
You might want to take a look at the Minolta magicolor 2300W, Its $200 over your budget but the 2300DL one we have here has served us well so far, the main difference between the W and DL is the addition of a ethernet port and an extra $100 to the price.
Don't know if this is the reason for the internet slowdown right now but it seems likely, from about a few hours ago I've getting tons of incoming traffic on port 1434 which I believe is the port that MS SQL listens on. So it's probably another exploit on MS sever software.
That's like saying that the discovery of the atom has brought us closer to finding a cure for AIDS
First of all AIDS is not the disease, HIV is the disease, AIDS is the final and most often fatal stage of an HIV infection.
The rRNA and the mRNA transcript the DNA and send it to another cell to be replicated
Um, no. DNA is replicated in the cell's own nucleus it doesn't get transfered to another cell to get replicated and sent back.
Sure, it has obviously, but almost every damn cell has RNA in it.
That maybe true but HIV is not a bacteria, which are cells, it is a virus and being a virus is not a cell, though they do have a lipid bi-layer envelope they don't make it themselves but rather steal it from a host cell.
So of course HIV has RNA to carry the message, everything does
well not exactly, HIV is a virus, most viruses only have DNA in them in broken bits because viruses contrary to popular oppinion are not actually alive (they can't reproduce on their own so they don't officially count as being alive). HIV is somewhat special in that it is a retrovirus which means that once it enters your cells it releses its RNA into your cells, the RNA reverse transcribes itself into DNA and integrates its newly created DNA segments into the DNA of your cell turning your cell into a factory for making more HIV and inhibiting the function of the infected cell, HIV has a particullar affinity for the cells of the immune system like macrophages and CD4 cells whcih is why people eventually get AIDS though anit-retroviral drugs and protease inhibitors have prolonged the period before AIDS develops.

Please don't take this the wrong way but, you are a naive fool. Are you somehow under the impression that Republicans don't set the adjenda based on their special interest supporters?
Think of it this way:
Democrats and Republicans are like Coke and Pepsi they're basicly the same, everyone has their preference, and they are both for sale.
Hopefully the new software will be SMP ready like the distributed.net client was, a lot of people have access to multi-cpu systems but don't have the time or patience to set up the system to run multiple instances of the program to take advantage of all the CPUs.
not to be too picky about your little rant there but the first amendment is:
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I'm pretty sure Australia has most if not all of that somewhere in their constitution as well. What they don't have is something like our second amendment which is:
Amendment II
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
But i'm just one of those types who is picky about which amendment is which.
Let's stick to our desire for innovation and truely stand behind the company willing to shed the baggage: Intel.
So where were you when the 64bit Alpha came out ten years ago?
It had nothing to do with x86 compatability and whooped on all x86 chips on every benchmark that was out there but its all but dead now.
And now you're saying a architecture that doesn't beat the current crop of x86 chips in performence, breaks compatabilty with the x86 architecture, and costs 10 times as much for similar capabilities will somehow succeed?
Once you break compatability with vast amount of software that is out there for x86 you're suddenly no better than all the other 64bit chips that have been out there.
Why go with a relatively untested IA-64 arch when i could go with a Sun, IBM, or SGI box who have all been 64bit for years and have no x86 baggage at all? I'm certanly not saving any money going with Intel's chip plus the other 64bit architectures have much more software support in compairason to IA-64.
As a customer if i buy IA-64 and it fails in the marketplace and support dries up, I'm left with a fairly useless box that can only run the few programs made specifically for IA-64 but if i buy x86-64 and it fails in the market i still have a very usable x86 machine and tons of 32bit software to work with.
Insect by definition have 6 legs (unless damaged), Centipedes are arthropods and spiders are arachnids. The wave method you mention is used by milipedes and centipedes.
If you've got some more cash to spend I'd recommend the Klipsch ProMedia 5.1. Watching a DVD with these speakers easily rivals the sound quality of dedicated home theater equipment. And playing an FPS with these speakers lets you truely feel the explosions and allows you to accurately hear from which direction bullets are being shot at you. A must for a computer audiophile to go with your real high end sound card. Did i mention it's THX certified as well...
I remember hearing news reports of his disappearance right in the middle of all the anthrax mailings. There were more than a few conspiracy theories around that. Though some of the deaths sound a bit like some KGB assassinations from the cold war days, they would use poisons like ricen to cause what appeared to be heat attacks and strokes, They some Bulgarian dissident like that in London.....
The 64MB version is the AIW Radeon 8500DV the 128MB version is the AIW Radeon 8500 (notice no DV). The DV of the 8500DV means it has dual IEEE 1394 ports integrated onto the board. Also the 8500DV uses a chip instead of a analog tuner. On the downside the AIW Radeon 8500DV is underclocked so there are no major heat problems on this overloaded board and the video ram is rated for lower speeds, the AIW Radeon 8500 on the other hand runs at the same speed as normal Radeon 8500 boards (i.e. not LE models) and has the same higher rated ram.
What compiler did they use for these results? I'm assuming GCC but would they have gotten better results using Intel's C++ compiler (or Sun's on a SPARC system)with the new Apache 2.0 code? I've heard you get much better SMP performence from Apache 2.0 using the compilers from the chip designers but i was wondering if anyone has tried this out and knows for sure.
Since there seems to be a large amount of confusion in the use of the abbreviation "CS", I propose that "CS" should generally mean Computer Science and that "C-S" should be the general abbreviation for the half-life mod counter-strike.
So:
CS == Computer Science
&
C-S == Counter-Strike
That was nothing like modern carpet bombing, a single B-52 carries more bombs than an entire WWII squadron, An arclight missions leaves a 2 miles swath of land completely bare, not even rubble. Neither Bagdad nor Belgrade was ever carpet bombed. Carpet bombing is a specific type of bombing where 100s of tons of gravity bombs are dropped on a fairly small area, the bombing is so intense that the ground liquafies.
Actually you use cluster munitions on convoys, carpet bombing is a waste, I mean 500-2000 lbs bombs just to blow appart jeeps and trucks? can you say overkill?. And yes carpet bombing is massively destructive but most of your high value targets are well protected and if we were taking on a reasonably technical military they would shoot down a B-52 before it got anywhere near a convoy, a B-52 probably has the largest heat and radar signature over the modern battle field. The reason you carpet bomb is so the enemy feels the ground below their feet turn to jello as the watch a strike hit miles away, that display of power ruins their morale and their will to fight.
Even though the B-52 is a marval of engineering its not the only reason its going to stick around for so long, advances in munitions such as air-launched cruse missles and the like allow the B-52 to remain a viable combat platform well into this century. Even though we see B-52s flying arclight (carpet bombing) missions on TV all the time lately its really nothing more than a psychological warefare mission to put fear into the hearts of the enemy, the real benefit of a B-52 in the modern day and age that its basicly a fast, airborne, and heavily armed missle launching platform that can anywhere in the world in a matter of hours, somewhat like a missle cruser of the air.
If this works maybe we should consider being a little more proactive in collecting DNA samples, there are thousands (millions?) of creatures out there on the verge of being wiped out and even though we might succeed in saving some of them a lot of them are going to go extinct, before that happens maybe we should create a Noah's arc of sorts made up of DNA samples of as many individuals of those specicies in risk as we can before we lose them entirely.

Wait, are you talking about AMD's 64-bit CPU?, the Opteron?
Its been on sale since last week, already cheaper than an Intel Xeon, and way way cheaper than a Itanium 2.
Unless you got a really wierd definition of vaporware (i.e. Duke Nukum Forever is vaporware, Opteron isn't) you've got your facts wrong.

Sorry about replying to myself but i found a relavent link about insect movement:

That's exactly how insects move, the alternating tripod method. For something with 6 legs its the most efficient and stable way to move.
