Two government agencies are investigating the purchases because the PlayStations can be bundled together into a sort of crude super-computer and used for a variety of military applications, say intelligence sources.
Apparently Sadaam could imagine a beuwulf cluster of these things...
that Microsoft Visual Studio has not been mentioned in this entire conversation. You people are just completely clueless, aren't you? VS is the godsend of IDE's. It can make "hello world" for you without having to type a single keyboard stroke. It can make programs with GUI without any effort at all!
Sometimes people amaze me...
the above comment completely misrepresents the opinion of the author and should therefore not be heeded....no matter how accurate it may be. thank you
I can see it now:
750Ghz PentiumXXXIV processor 1Ghz FSB 2Ghz memory 500Mhz access to storage and a graphics processor that is only capable of pumping out three frames per second in Quake 25.
gazamm! a 750x multiplier? That's crazy...but it just might work...I think that if be better to get that FSB up tho...I think that would solve the apparent bottleneck causing that 3fps. Try it out and get back to me...
I would liove to agree with you, but intel has something AMD doesn't: a new chip that can scale like a mutha. Some have prodicted that P4 will be able to scale up to 10Ghz. On the other hand, the same people observe that right now a 1Ghz Athlon uses more power and produces more heat than a 1.4Ghz P4. Looking ahead, the new AMD chips look to only bring those figures down, not allow higher clock speeds. For the moment, intel has a much better chance of reaching those Mhz figures in '05 than AMD.
The irony here is that Microsoft can wait until the money-losing Linux companies finally perfect their upstart open-source operating system. That would let Microsoft leverage -- some would say hijack -- every bit of the costly research and development done to date by the open-source software movement.
I think it's about time to look into the legality of blocking all Redmont, WA IPs on all mirror ftps of linux.
The only thing Microsoft has to do is to release its own version of the Line OS. There is no reason to do that now, given the still-small market share commanded by Linux software, particularly on the end-user side. But let that market continue to grow a little more and Microsoft will be faced with a choice: Either it cedes part of its core OS market to the Linux companies, or it competes with them head-to-head.

That would let Microsoft leverage -- some would say hijack -- every bit of the costly research and development done to date by the open-source software movement. Most Linux developers would probably be aghast at the notion that Microsoft will eventually be selling what they created. But the company has left more than a few would-be competitors aghast in the past.
oh, it is so obvious that all they would have to do is release a distro and all the would-be linux users will flock to it. Oh yeh. And sell? what are they talking about. Linux is free, and microsoft couldn't make a single cent off of the OS unless they only allow for it to be marketed with a really really expensive book and don't allow it to be d/led. Which is absurd only because since it would be based off of linux, it would be perfectly legal to d/led it. Something about the thoughts in this article just does't add up.
brilliant. absolutely. bat that has nothing to do with the lack of phone numbers in metroploitan areas. At least you have a great solution to make it feel like nothing's changed.
personally, I prefer lamb skin. but as they say, each to his own.

On a more serious note, we've already lost the ability to use AOL disks to save buying those pesky 3.5" floppies and we are now about to loose the ability to use them as coasters:(
actually, it seems to me that if it is flexible, it is also stickier (like seran wrap.) I think that adds to the worth of the coaster. Now we god AOL coasters that don't slide around. Just think of the possibilities.
I think the relevent fact is that if it were 7 billion light years away, we would have had to have launched the pioner 7 billion years ago, at the speed of light.
Then again, perhaps the dinosaurs were more advanced than we thought...
In a recent article headline found on one of the most popular news sites on the net, it has been confirmed. Time does in fact continue to go on... despite Bush being elected president.
well, there is a reserve...I would suspect that implies some sort of legitamacy...then again, maybe this guys knows that we would think that and he is fooling us.
While what you say may be true, at least the developers have a bottom line that they can count on. Also, I am confident that any customizations that the indrema people semi-endorse would be completely compatible with any software developed for the base system. The point is, they are making something that can be customized, but starting at a bottom line that dev people can confidently build apps for.
just because he used the word "constitution" he's automatically labelled as american-centric? all a constitution is is a written document the records the common beliefs of the people. the magna carta was a fricken constitution.
I have had enough of all these non americans complaining that we americans only think about ourselves.
and for the record, it seems obvious to me that a written proclamation of our internet community beliefs would come in very handy in the future when legistlation is written

Hmm...only 47 days? that means I could be a programming during winter break.
