    Sad thing is, I bet that if you tried to find 512kb/8KB ram you would pay alot of money, cause I'm sure whatever collecter had it wouldn't let it go for cheap.

    Well, that was the interesting thing about the guy, in Quantum Leap, while he was a normal kinda guy, he also was very intelligent too. (Making him identifiable to geeks and jocks at the same time) Hopefully his Enterprise character will be similar, otherwise its just boring.

    Well, if its that important, I'm sure you'd have a site license, in which case no activation, if not I'm sure you'd shuck out an extra few bucks for another license, then stay on hold and loose thousands.

  5. Re:ACR? on NVidia nForce Reviewed · · Score: 1

    ACR, stands for Advanced Communications Riser.
    I'm not sure if its like the old modem risers that used to be on motherboards (which was a bus for ultracheap software modems). Hopefully this will be used for good, like dolby digital sound output, instead of evil, cheap sound/modem/ethernet output.

    NDAs have to be two party contacts, which both parties present, and most likly a lawyer. A shrinkwrap, or any other one party license like this is very limited in what it can do.

    Yes, but one must always stop and conceder all tradeoffs is the real point. The most important point being, will this truly give me security, or just the appearence of security.
    Letting the FBI monitor the internet will NOT put a hampor on terrorism, but it will make people give up their liberties that the terrorist hate so much, and only give them one more win.

    First of all, even if the airlines wern't regulated by the government, they would have policies against allowing people to carry weapons onboard. Such policies of checking you weapon at the door was very commonplace when carrying a personal weapon used to be the norm. Also firing a weapon on an airplane is VERY stupid, you are most likly going to create a hole and decompress the air. Anyways, most likly some of the passangers were also armed with knives, it is a very common activity of people who fly freqently to carry small knives, which is the main reason the terrorist got away with getting them onboard. But before this insident, the rule was to let the terrorist have what they wanted, so that nobody got hurt. Well this rule is now out the door, and anyone who tries to highjack an american plane anytime soon will get a rude awaking by the beatdown they will recieve.
    Aways in general I agree with you, but you have to remember we trade some liberties, just by having a government, but you should always be careful and fully conceder all consequences of giving up any liberties, instead of the kneejerk reactions of many who are too concerned about personal security, of which they will never recieve.

    Yes, but you'll still need a real factory for making the HardDrives for storing huge amounts of CAD info. Because generating a perfectly clean-room environment to make said object, in your home. is going to be out of reach for a long long time.

    It would simply be illigal to buy or sell their merchandice, in this country atleast. That is the reason that Britian is also seeking to punish MS, if they decide to punish them, MS has to follow or else they loose a huge market in selling to Britian.

  16. Re:Read the BBC article on Bush Administration Stops Microsoft Breakup · · Score: 1

    Turner is a Democrat, in fact a majority of the Fortune 500 are Democrats. So the lie is actually rich=Republicans. The real story is most of the wealthly (upper middleclass) are Republicans, but most discustingly rich people are actually Democrats, Bill Gates being one of them. If got rid of all the Republicans in the country, you would see one of the most absolutly discusting difference between the rich and poor you have ever known.

  17. Re:I've already posted this, but.. on Bush Administration Stops Microsoft Breakup · · Score: 1

    Bush is the head of the executive branch. The Justice Department is part of the executive branch, therefor the Justice Department is part of the "Bush Administration" So anything the Justice Department does, is done by the "Bush Administration." While it may or may not have been Bushes personal decision, we will never really know.

  18. Re:Accurate information here on Chief Lizard Wrangler axed · · Score: 2

    The best example, is his repeaded statement that Netscape denied it used mozilla for Netscape 6.1. All Netscape said was that it would not confirm or deny rumors inregards to the exact version branching inwhich Netscape 6.1 came from. You can read this in his "Netscape denies is uses Mozilla Code for Netscape 6.1 Browser" article. This is in info box on the right hand side, apart from the actual story.

    The statement was about the O ring defect, which was known about before the challenger mission, and many people in NASA said that there was a high chance of failure in. NASA management basically said, before the challenger launch, which many were trying to delay to fix the problem, that unless it can be proven that its going to blow up, they are going to fly it anyways.
