Though neither supports a PCI slot directly, try PC-104 (www.pc104.com or www.pc104.org) or Compact PCI (http://www.picmg.org/). Depending on what options you need in the end, these can offer Ethernet, video, audio, and almost anything else you need in a small form factor. PC104 is ISA in a smaller form factor, so it's slower, but pretty reasonably priced now.
Hi, I stumbled upon an old Univac 1. I'd like to use it as part of a heterogeneous rendering farm for GIMP. I'm too lazy to use Google, so does anyone have any links?
Oh no, Walmart's moving to town and will put us all out of business!
Or, on the other hand, it will only put out the cheeseball review sites that are only there since there isn't lots of serious competition out there will go under, and the good ones will be humming along just fine with 1/10th the budget and twice the quality of the other 'big' players. I'm all for rooting for the underdog, but I don't see this as the end of the world for good review sites.
I just hope it doesn't do anything else dastardly, like port scanning. Yup. These are tools that can only be used for evil, greedy, corporate oppression.
White LEDs have gotten much better lately
on
LED Flashlights
·
· Score: 3
They're actually blue LEDs with a mixture of different fluorescent materials on the front. Shine it about 3" away from a piece of paper and you'll probably see a distinct blue ring. Fluorescence always red-shifts things, so you shine a blue light on some which absorbs some of the blue and emits blue-green, some of which gets absorbed and emits green....
They must have also done some silly stuff with the LED selection, wiring and/or batteries, because you can get reds much brighter and cheaper than any blue, and in many different wavelengths.
They already had 1.3 working just fine, finding a way to repackage that and defeat the apparently insurmountable one-way "upgrade only" path is all that they need to do.
I think a week is generous. It is rather lucky it's rerun season, or people would be screaming much louder....
....What are we going to do about it? We're going to fix it! By September 2001 we intend to release a software version that will return the no-service state for users who purchased hardware ontaining software prior to 2.0 to one very similar to that of 1.3.....
We hope this quick response will assure you that we did not intend to change your experience as a non-subscriber, and that we take your concerns very seriously.
If I owned one of these things, I'd be returning it a la the Discount Tire commercial, where the old lady 'brings back' the tire when unsatisfied by throwing it through their front window.
I know some of the technology/car comparisons are a bit silly and overblown, but DO imagine a car that suddenly won't work, and the fix isn't due for 3 months.
It should be no more than a week to get a version of 1.3 into the hands of everyone who wants it.
If they are 'for free use', why are they so concerned about competition, then?
Ever heard of Adobe Acrobat? How about Apple Quicktime? Real Player? These are all successful business models with free content viewers that CHARGE FOR THE CONTENT CREATION. It's really not that hard to figure out.
I don't know the exact status of the freeness of each individual product, and yes you can get some free PDFs made, and there are sometimes ways around them, but they have all been very successful charging for some content creation while giving the viewers away for free.
I just find it hard to grasp that it would take "millions of dollars" to spend to get the idea of making a 360 degree image
It's not a patent of 'displaying 3D images, PERIOD." It's a methodology/algorithm to display them. It's not as overreaching as you describe it, so the algorithm is either
1. Intuitive and obvious, undeserving of a patent, but therefore should be easy to circumvent, or
2. Novel and non-intuitive, which took many hours of work to develop, and they should be rewarded.
But it's sucked for a long, long time. IE kicks butt. I bought into the whole myth, and used only Netscape, but after being forced to use IE a few times, I realized it was ten times better than Netscape 4. Then 6 came out, and it sucks like you wouldn't believe.
Your examples of the diversity of operating systems sound like a Democratic fundraiser. It's diversity for the sake of diversity. I'm very glad for users of those OSs that they have a fairly modern browser available to them, but WRT the current topic, they don't count, since we're talking about sheer numbers and market share. Every AIX, HP-UX, SCO, SunOS, etc. user in the world could use Netscape, and even pay $100 a copy, and they're still not a player.
Of course, I'm not counting MacOS, that would be a lot of money, and if you count Linux twice (like you did;) that's a chunk of change, but they both have superior (IMHO) alternatives.
Honestly, people treat the latest tech so differently from everything else, since, well, um, it's new. Employers do this all the time - phones are usually unregulated tools, wheras computers need to be regulated, monitored, etc.
It comes down to this (IANAL, of course):
Is it OK to place a bet over the phone from another state that doesn't allow gambling?
If yes, then go to reasonable lengths to secure ID, etc., if not, I don't see how a computer connection is any different from a phone connection. You're in one state, completing a transaction in another state. It's either OK or not, regardless of whether you use the web (or at least should be, IMHO).
Certainly the political contribution end of things, see OpenSecrets.org if they haven't mysteriously been taken offline by the men in black. Notice how corporate America hedges its bets, and often splits its contributions around 50-50 with the Dems and Reps.
A cartoonish representation of practically every culture known to man, and deep, deep pockets. I'll bet some lawyers in Vegas are salivating right now....
We now need to build a PS1 emulator so that it can run all the stuff it used to run in emulation mode, only slower!!! No more constant crashing of the PS1 console! Er, um, wait....
Please, change the name. It's going to be a confusing mess in the future - try new, new, new NewOS. You mean the new version of NewOS? No, slightly older NewOS. Not kinda old NewOS? Ugh.

Net loss a year ago last quarter: $23 million.
Hey, look at that year-over-year growth!
I'll bet you could pick up some great PHB-friendly words here. Maybe Proactive Leverager of Global Synergy?
I don't see anything yet....

How do the pr0n and other popup ads on your site relate to eternal life?

Just point them to slashdot. Just make sure they're browsing up around 3 or so. ;-P

If they didn't provide full source for it, we could bust 'em for violating the license ;).
It's getting better. ;)
Please, save us all a headache now.
I don't think I was either. I did see the foot logo on the article, after all.... ;)
