it was a 3 hour movie, so that's 3 hours worth of footage they thought was worthwhile. You could tell there were sections that were led up to and then skipped (Gimli and Galadriel). I would like to see that part so i will rent the dvd when it comes out, that extra is worth it to me.
the sample size is plenty strong, but it is only a sample of the people who have voted for lotr on imdb. if this poll were conducted by calling (mostly random, they have phones though) people and asking them to rate 10 movies you would only need a sample size of about 800 for pretty dead on accuracy. if your sample group isn't varied enough it doesn't matter how large your sample size is.
you don't have to incorporate in the state you live in. some states, like nevada and delaware, have much better deals that legally protect you as an owner. it's much harder to be personally held liable for any failure of the company if it is a company in those states.
how can a russian coder steal source code? he's using it in a way the author did not intend, but he's not under the same laws. in russia, code is not property, and unless it is property, it cannot be stolen.
Anyone who wants to do targetted marketing wants to track your life. Anyone who wants lists of people for risk assessment and blacklisting wants to track your life. People who plan to rob you want to look at your records and see if you own weapons. Povernment agencies who see everything as a potential threat want to monitor your activities. INS wants to track your life if you're an immigrant. IRS certainly wants to track you.
Customer databases are worth a lot of money, so big business wants as much information in there as possible. Just because your life seems pointless to you doesn't mean businesses don't see interest in you as data for their statistics.
of course i'm a troll, this is slashdot after all. you don't stay at one site this long without doing a little of everything it has to offer, and really, trolling is damn fun.
killing someone stealing your car is self defense, they're stealing a very deadly weapon and you would be a fool to let them live long enough to start the engine so they can kill you with it.
responding to an article before reading it is so stupid on so many levels that i don't even know where to start. please don't post replies that aren't trolls unless you have actually read the article, it's sort of a gentlemen's agreement here at slapdash.
IBM gets tonnes of patents and they also make a significant percentage of their revenue from licencing the technology they develop. many cmos, hard drive, and other technologies were developed at ibm and the manufacturers pay ibm to use the technologies and processes.
just because they developed it doesn't mean they'll use it directly. of course they won't just give it away for free, either.
the original stupid poster who didn't read the article of course missed the part in the end where it said ibm was hoping to licence this technology to another manufacturer.
try big file copies, try compiles, make a simple program in C, it will load slower and be slower whenever it is in syscalls. everything will be slower. os x uses mach, so the base system has one area of overhead that monolithic kernels don't. the operating system is simply slower.
there are other reasons apps are slower than just the graphics system. the bloated system libraries for instance, but even things that don't use them have mach to help them lose their edge.
ps. i'm using yellowdog 2.0 and tri-booting the mac oses, so this isn't entirely out of my ass. however, plenty of it is, the only benchmarks i have done were compiles.
you get a cpu architecture review from Jon [Hannibal] Stokes and you complain about its quality. I don't understand you. You should read all his architecture docs including the CISC vs. RISC one and then claim that his research and comparisons are irrelevant.
the p4 ddr chipset (i845) doesn't perform anywhere near as well as their rambus ones.
also the ddr mode in that chip won't be working for several months. word on the street is that via's upcoming p4 ddr chipset is a pretty good performer, but nothing much has been published on that, via doesn't have a clear license on the bus, and via chipsets are often buggy.
so really, they won't be having ddr chipsets any time soon, and chances are that the chipsets will be terrible performers. amd has to watch out more for a drop in rdram prices more than anything else.
give me a fucking break, you don't optimize for an architecture, you recompile with it as the target. debian probably has a horrible installer for ppc, but it has a horrible installer on x86 too, so it probably doesn't matter.

no, you don't have those freedoms, it's that simple.
most people who create things like to see it impact the world.
free software licensing is done to allow the copyright holder control of how the software is used, to maximise use and adoption many people use the BSD or MIT licenses or simply release the code into the public domain.
re incorporation in proprietary crap: would you rather them sell a worse product or have higher development costs? neither is productive but are wasteful of human resource.

what does freedom mean?
ok, i think i'm getting trolled here, but the whole world accepts the misunderstanding of freedom meaning being able to do whatever you want.
these sites were 0wned because of passwords collected by a trojanned ssh client. mandatory access control lists can keep things like that from happening, but then you're dependant on the system you're using to be secure enough to type your password on. once an admin password is found it is often trivial to revert the state of such monitoring applications and control the machine with the full priveledges that the administrator with the stolen password would have.
monitoring what actually happens on the servers is the only sure way to make sure nothing is misused. real-time tools like cylantsecure that output information based on what actually happens on the machine will let you see whether everything that the administrator does is legit. it's sorta like if you straced all the activity of the system you would actually have the data to know if an administrator logged in and trojanned services, however, there's too much to monitor by hand so i would recommend a tool based on measurement of the system's execution.
currently, to really go all out monitoring you'd have a team of admins that watch every time a file is modified and every time a process is run or opens a port, or changes permission levels, but there's way too much data to handle and it's far too expensive to have such a trained team. right now you just install the tools you need and pray for the best, and have enough constant data so you can tell when something gets fucked up.

umm, no it isn't. it is 100Mhz(+/- 1 Mhz) * 20. clock frequency isn't done by powers of 2.

Haha, yeah, I'm not sure how that happened, it must have been on the last edit when I was capitalizing my sentances.

i won't believe it's a rip-off of an amime unless there is tentacle rape.
it has AGP Pro 110 support, this chipset is as much or more for high end PC workstations than low end servers.

sounds to me like a government that blocks access to nazi memorabilia would find under the regimes that limit access to information.

anyone have any examples of countries that value their citizens' freedom as an example for french people to move to?
