I think this very site ran on a Multia when it first started, if I'm not mistaken. They're pretty neat little machines. I had one running Redhat for awhile until i screwed up the motherboard by starting up without a keyboard connected. Now it just takes up space on my bookshelf. I'd love to get it working again if I could, but I'm sure I'd be better off getting a whole new one, and well, I just don't need it anymore.
I do production work for bands (lights and sound) and recently did a private party for half.com at the New Jersey State Aquarium in Camden and the sound system that was used that night consisted of 4 18" subwoofers. The stage was directly across the dance floor from one of the large windows looking into the main ocean tank, which holds various sharks and other fish that are native to the North Atlantic. After the band began playing, I looked at the tank and noticed that some of the fish were getting more frisky instead of simply moping around the tank like they normally do. I didn't notice any intercourse, but I wasn't really looking for it.
So Microsoft ships Fear, Uncertainty, and/or Doubt with their products? That's really interesting. Obviously you didn't have the first clue as to what FUD actually meant when you posted your pointless comment, but since all the other cool kids on slashdot use that word whilst in the process of Microsoft-bashing, you thought you'd try to fit in and pull out one of those neato-keen $0.05 words. And so it ended up being irrelevant, much like the rest of your comment. Sorry, lil' buddy! Thank you for playing though! If you hang in there long enough, you'll eventually get invited to join the IAKW Union (International Alliance of Karma Whores, AFL-CIO)
Best of luck!
For example, stick 200W through a 100W bulb, and you may only get 1000 kW-Hrs as opposed to 2000 kW-Hrs. 400W may only get you 400 kW-Hours.
How exactly does one "stick 200W" through a light bulb? Do you hook up a "Watt machine" of sorts? No. A Watt is a unit of measurement, which measures capacity. Just like one cannot create inches or gallons, one cannot create watts. Watts simply happen as a result of using energy. A 100W lamp will only draw 100 watts, unless you change the voltage. If one were to hook up nothing but a regular old 120v/60hz 60 watt bulb to a generator that was cranking out 120 volts @ 60 hz with a capacity of 6,000,000 watts, that bulb is only going to use 60 watts.
ACTUALLY, the politically correct phrase would be 'sexual orientation'. 'Sexual preference' is politically incorrect because it implies that a person makes a conscious decision to be heterosexual/homosexual/transsexual/etc. and, well, THAT'S JUST DOWNRIGHT OPPRESSIVE!
when the shuttle isn't there to move the ISS out of harm's way? Would the ISS have been destroyed had the shuttle not moved it? Couldn't something like this happen again, and if so, how are they going to prevent debris from damaging or destroying the ISS?
Or maybe you'll give me back the money that Microsoft won't for a product I don't want and didn't have a choice about buying?
You didn't have a choice? Bovine excrement. I suppose you've never heard of Penguin Computing? Or the numerous other computer vendors who sell machines pre-installed with Linux, FreeBSD, or even *nothing* if you so choose? Quit whining, fanboy.
Nah, a model slashdotter couldn't possibly run linux, ar any other unix variant on his production system. He is 'forced' by Microsoft to run Windows of course! He will only 'claim' to run an alternative operating system when in certain discussions in order to be 'rebellious', 'cool', to 'stick it to the man', and/or to fit in with slashdot's fake 'subculture'.
First of all, define "Clean air and water" and "Healthy food" for me.
If the so-called "dirty air and water" we consume are undeniable conclusive causes of cancer, then why do relatively few people die from it? Why doesn't everyone die from cancer since our air and water are so terrible?
So my aunt ate healthy for much of the latter portion of her life. She didn't smoke or drink, and she exercised regularly. Then we see my father, 2 years older than her, been eating the so-called "junk food" all of his life. He starts his day with a bottle of pepsi and a package of snack cakes. He smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day at one time, but has since quit. He doesn't know the meaning of exercise. "Experts" would have you believe you'd be dead at 30 if you led his lifestyle. He's 62 and still works every day. Aunt Betty died 6 years ago.
So like...try thinking before you write something patently stupid.
Yeah...Russ Feingold is a regular champion of civil liberties. Just look at the Campaign finance reform legislation he co-authored. That doesn't violate the first amendment at all.
I just did some more research (can you tell I'm bored?) and the nVidia GeForce 2 MX cards are one of the top performers as far as 3D goes, and they are well under $100, and they seem to have decent manufacturer linux support. (Looks better than ATI on the surface at least) You may want to rummage through all the other comments to see what everyone else thinks of nVidia. I'm going to bed now.

As an added precaution, it could be wired up with some bright red blinking LED arrays. =)
Actually, my IWill KK266 PLus-R motherboard comes with a driver CD that boots into a barebones customized implementation of Linux for this purpose.
UPS is still running OS/2 in most of their major hubs, and it runs some of their most critical systems.

No phone lines needed -- you can surf the Net and leave your telephone free
I'm guessing you must have just glanced over it because I'm sure you actually read the page, didn't you?
Exactly how is an analog phone uplink going to achieve 128k?

Same goes for snow; it caused us some packet loss.
It was snowing a few months ago in suburban Atlanta? That is quite amazing!
agreed.
and 7 + 0 + 4 = 11 ! OMG! Run for the hills!
It HAS to be true!

hahahahaha! you called Microsoft Micros~1! You made fun of the DOS naming scheme! Hahaha! That's funny AND original! ROFL!

-holding 1000s of people with no charges for months
-expanded wiretap provisions
-removal of lawer-client privileges
Clearly, this will be forefver tagged as a "Republican" or a "Conservative" provision, even though nearly all liberal congressmen voted to pass it.
Bullshit.
