Oh come on! You can take such exciting classes as HHS 231 and HST 203 during the summer! That's WAY better than say.. an internship at a mega tech firm.
Core Duo had 64 bit disabled. Core 2 Duo has 64 bit enabled. Once the mac mini and MB/MBp switch to Merom -- roughly the same time that Leopard comes out, this will be a moot point. The switch to XCode made it just a matter of recompiling the apps to use 64-bit.
I owned the Datalink watch and loved it. I had all my friends' phone numbers on it. Do you remember the Timex Internet Messenger watch that was the successor to it? It had an alphanumeric pager builtin which you could activate by e-mail. I set up a gateway so that when people IMed me with "!page" at the beginning of the message, it would get forwarded to my watch. This was nice at the time because I didn't have a cell phone, but people could still get ahold of me when I was out in BFE. It was CHEAP too -- about $3 a month.
A single 802.11a channel occupies 16.6 Mhz of bandwidth. This gets 54 mbps using QAM. Look it up on wikipedia if you don't believe me. Using CDMA and directional antennas, the issue of signals jumping on each other could easily be solved. 20 Mhz is plenty of bandwidth for 384kbps wireless. I pay $15 a month for this already with Sprint, so handing it out for free would be great.
if the watermarks are imperceptible to humans, than what's to say that the matrices used by audio and video codecs won't remove them from the source because they're undetectible?
The college I go to recently built a new building which follows all kinds of "Green" standards. One of the features of the building is a rainwater reclaimation system. Rainwater is collected from the roof and held in cisterns in the basement. When needed, water is pumped from these tanks and placed into toilets. Thus, there is a huge water savings at the cost of the amount of energy needed to pump the water from the tanks into the toilets.
I actually switched from Linux to MacOS because I was sick and tired of fighting with my system configuration everytime I updated my packages or wanted to install new software. OS X allows me to run all of the same OSS apps that I loved on Linux (VNC, SSH, irssi, etc) while at the same time being a joy to use.
I first was exposed to OSX from the leak to x86. After that, I loved it so much I got a Mac Mini (the first mac I've seen which I could actually afford).
Downloads from OSL are the same speed as the rest of the Internet from the school. (100 mbit) The limiting factor is the server. Anyone with a decent host these days has 100mbit, so there's no huge advantage. Oh, and their Gentoo mirror sucks. I get about 40kb/sec off of it. I switched to datapipe.net.
While it sucks google's down, I'll still post ontopic..
I go to said school, and I'm not very impressed with the OSL. It's not open to the public, it's not educating anybody about using linux. It's basically a bunch of alumni from the school who wish they were still college students living in their landlord's basement, writing little PHP programs and getting hardware donated to them because they're affiliated with a University.
Holy shit! God^Hogle is down! I was wondering why my gmail notifier on firefox was blank.
OMGWTFBBQLOL!
Seriously though.. doesn't akamai handle their dynamic server redirection?
on the same vein as a sibling post.. taking apart your laptop is a great way to find out where the ram sockets are.
I was taking apart an alienware area 51-m (sager 5630), and took EVERYTHING off the bottom only to realize the ram slots were right beneath the keyboard. Two minutes later I had my mated pair of samsung 256 MB PC2100 SODimms:)
Oh well. Horror stories like these make me glad I've ordered a name brand computer. Sure, I'm paying twice as much, but the specs are a lot nicer and it probably weighs half as much:)
let me clarify a bit.. I meant the contents of the OGG container into the appropriate ACM wrapper in the AVI. Yes, this can mean things other than vorbis, but it's generally understood that the.ogg file extension implies vorbis. Hardly anyone puts FLAC into a.ogg container as FLAC has its own lighter-weight container format.
And yes, I agree. AVI/RIFF is an old and (hopefully) deprecated container to be replaced by ogm and/or matroska.
One thing you must understand is that the book is NOT the original master copy that everything must match up to. HHGTTG was a radio series a year before any book was ever released. In addition, the book did NOT match the radio series in content or in chronological order. When they said that the movie would follow in the true spirit of Douglas Adams, they were not kidding. Douglas constant changed and contradicted the series with each incarnation. Trying to use the book as a reference for anything is just silly. Those who went and saw the movie and whined that it didn't match up with their expectations, rather than watching it with an open mind, evaluating it on its own merit, are just plain silly.

I can't speak for the Athlon 64 X2, but I know for a fact that Core 2 Duo dynamically turns off blocks of L3 cache that aren't needed.

It's what I use and it's quite fast. I get about 52 MB/sec encryption speed and I'm loving it.

It's a shame I used up my mod points this morning. That's one of the best analogies I've heard for the Internet yet.
Let's do the QT4 Dance to celebrate!

Oh, and yes.. TFA is slashdotted.
now when will someone hire me?

How exactly would you expect a dual core processor to use the same socket as a single core processor?

I have MySQL, I'm not sure why I'd ever want Access. And what's this about flatscreen monitors?
try posting with your real nick, pussy.

Now I'm really glad I decided to buy a Gateway laptop yesterday instead of an IBM...

It's all good. Just encapsulate the OGG in the AVI. AVI can hold almost anything. :)
and who actually watches public access TV?
