You don't need an infinite amount of time. One of your infinite monkeys will produce any work in the ammount of time it takes to bang on the keys of its typewriter.
Also one monkey at one typewriter given an infinite amount of time will also produce all literary works.
Quantum computers are somewhat like the first example, where today's technology is basicly like the second.
Whoa. How come no one told me about the default-toolkit=gtk2 thingy? I only installed gtk-1.2 for Mozilla.
I compile with "-march=athlon -O3 -pipe", the pipe seems to cut the compile time down a bit, and I don't think it is so much because of my drive/tmp is on a 15k RPM Ultra320 SCSI drive with 8MB cache. I've had no problems with that level of optimization.
Also, isn't oji enabled by default? I use the Blackdown OJI plugin just fine.
How do you mean water-powered? As in use electricity to "crack" the water into H2 and O? Where does the electricity come from to do this? Generated by the engine burning the H2 and O2? There's a little thing called the laws of thermodynamics.
What I see is a cracking plant run from household electricity. Or any other central locations, where you can fill up on H2 and O2, but that is just a Hydrogen fuel cell.
If all of the SCSI market were moved to FC the cost would drop considerably. But by creating a compeating standard they'll never see the wide range adoption of Fibre Channel that would be needed to get the cost down.
I haven't used multiple Firewire devices on the same bus to find out how they perform. That is my main reason for using SCSI and FC now. I just hope any new standard that comes out doesn't suffer like ATA does with 2 devices on the same channel.
What I don't get is there already is a serial SCSI, it is called Fibre Channel. Right now it is clocked at 4 Gbits/sec. and there is no reason it can't go faster.
But I do agree about the problems with parallel. Thing about the interfaces called "parallel" and "serial", the old ports on the back of the computer. Sure the LPT ports were faster, but were very limited to the distance they could run because interference.
Also to get IDE over 33 Mbits/sec. they had to add an extra ground wire between each data wire to keep the noise down. SCSI always had extra wires, but they had to go to twisted pair (aka LVD) with in the cables to get any distance.
But FC is here today, it supports high, and huge cable lengths on optical cables, and respectible lengths on copper.
This was talked about as a format of Sony's MiniDiscs. Even before the first ones showed up, they said it would be possible to make a disc that contained a RO section and a MO area where new data could be written. I don't know if any discs like this were ever released.
Also don't recordable DVDs have a reigion that is ROM to keep people from writing the encrytions keys, and thus making perfect copys of originals (of course if you decrypt the original first...).
Actually they were taken out because some PHB at Netscape actually thought that all the about pages were included inside Navigator. Or maybe he just thought that people would think that, and accuse Netscape of bloating the product with useless features. So they got axed in the next release.

The RX-8's Renesis engine was revving to 10,000 and making 270 HP out of a 1.3 L engine. But the production version was scaled back to 8,000 RPM and 250 HP. But still 1.3 L. That beats the 2000's engine.
Of course four strokes only use half of their displacement per revolution where the rotary uses it's entire displacement every time around. So to be fair you either multiply the displacement of the rotary by 2 or divide the boinger (piston engine) by 2.
Yep, I was going to make the same post. The rotary isn't that revolutionary anymore as a concept, but now Mazda has one that runs clean and makes almost 200 HP per L naturally aspirated (I'm sure with a little tuning it will reach that mark.)
Of course I'll stick with my car for a bit, at least until I get it done. (See sig.)
I don't think any BIOS chips need cooling. They are just the little flash roms on the motherboard. You are probally thinking of the chipsets.
The BIOS is just code that gets executed by the processor before the OS starts to boot.
Also it was noted that all the extras of this enhanced BIOS will be stored in a "protected" area of the hard drive. I bet a `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda` will still kill it, just like my restore partition on my IBM laptop.
Hanging out on some anti-spam news groups I've seen this happen to people who go after spammers. In this case the spammer quite intentionally selects the FROM: address to make the bounces and irrate replies cause trouble for someone who has been causing trouble for the spammer. This is called a "Joe-job".
I'm hoping the DirecTiVo will continue in the same fashion as the current model and just record the encrypted off the air broadcast to the harddrive so there is no loss in quality at all.

Correct, it isn't vulnerable, because you can't send something to the Xbox and say, "encrypt this", and see how long it takes.
Torus, like the Ford? I didn't know they were cold-fusion/H-powered and liquid cooled.
Now if it was heavy water you could kill 3 birds.

Maybe there should be a special Dupe Section. It'll surely get more usage than the radio section.

Yeah, what do they think this is, the '90s?

Actually the Athlon XP 1100000+ will be running at 12 Hz but have a terabyte of cache.
Not to mention the real world Richard D. James, aka Aphex Twin.
No, but in Soviet Russia the space tourist program suspends you.
Sega is not developing for the GBA. THQ is porting old Sega titles.
Well you have to defend both, or you'll loose them right? :P
(Yes, I know that is a trademark.)
Maybe you missed it cause it was only posted once.
So where are the processors that Sun promissed that would run Java bytecode natively?
I'm hoping the DirecTiVo will continue in the same fashion as the current model and just record the encrypted off the air broadcast to the harddrive so there is no loss in quality at all.
All recent TiVo software releases require a subscription.
But with DirecTiVo if you pick up the larger DirecTV channel packages you get the TiVo service included.
