I'd be careful with hardware RAID. What do you do when your RAID chip explodes and you can't buy a replacement mobo? Since you don't know how the hardware RAID device puts data on the discs, when you lose the chip you lose the data. Software seems worth the performance hit* for knowing that plugging the discs back into ANY ATA device gets your data back.
* And software is fast enough for SATA. If you're using Ultrafast FibreChannel or something then you might like the hardware RAID better...
Then type your document here, ending each paragraph with a blank line. If you need bold text (hint: you probably don't) use \textbf{bold phrase}. Use \emph{word} to emphasize a word. There, you're done. You have a beautiful document and all you did was type. Wow. Also don't forget to:
\end{document}
There. Run that thru LaTeX and see what you get. You'll like it.
I can design a multiplier that multiplies n-bit numbers in ~n^2 clock cycles. Or I can do it in n. I think it can be done (in hardware) in 1 clock cycle. So it doesn't come down to raw clock cycles if the hardware people don't use the best (fastest) circuit. AFAIK the G5 uses pretty advanced circuitry, whereas the P4 is an overclocked tried-and-true 386. Nothing wrong with that, just there is a difference between speed and cycles per second.
Well if they signed something saying they wouldn't talk about it or exploit it, then they can be sued for that. But you can't be arrested or imprisoned for breaking a contract:)
Anyway, I'm not going to argue facts (because you know what you're talking about and I don't:). I just think society has reached a new low when trivalities like these things are crimes.
As for fraud, if fraud were illegal then we wouldn't have a government anymore:) (only half-joking heh)
Are you exploiting the system when you clip coupons, too? Those prices are meant to ensure the viability of the food company. Taking the 20% off is raping society, dudes. Oh wait. No.
Seriously, if the game can be exploited by a person (or his computer) then the game is no good. The casinos have no right to make money. If the want money, they should invent a better game!
(And this is NOT like computer hacking. That's like entering someone's home through their unlocked door [actually, it's like hacking into a computer. that's why it's computer hacking and not robbery.. but anyway]. This is more like coming late to class everyday because you know your professor will be later.:D)
I hate things like this. What crime did they commit? How did their actions harm society?
They wrote the PNRG, they made no guarantee that it was good. Besides, even if they didn't write it, it's still easy to analyze. There's pretty much one good algorithm (linear congruential), and all you need are a few numbers to guess the whole sequence. Anyway, these people are not criminals. Criminals commit crimes. These people solved a two-variable equation...
I don't want my tax dollars to be spent prosecuting "cheaters". I don't give a flying fuck if someone rips off those cheats (the casinos). The casinos can use their paid security guards ("loss prevention engineers") to kick/ban cheaters. That's fine with me. They can spend THEIR money so they can make money. They CANNOT spend _my_ money so that they may be profitable. How could anyone disagree!?
And if a cheater ends up in a dumpster, that's murder. Whomever did that should be executed. I don't mind paying for that.
I don't see IBM as the company that's going to stop cmoputers users from using Linux. So this is a good thing.
M-x tinfoil-hat-mode
Then again, what would stop IBM from letting their hardware run only THEIR version of Linux. Good thing I don't have to go up this hill... it's slippery:)
Heh, that's why there are so many security holes in IE/XP. Balmer wants us to get lots of ads. Wow. One more reason to delete Shitdows and never look back:)
Yeah, this is flamebait. But it makes for a good conspiracy theory. Get your tinfoil hates and proximitrons:)
If they did, we'd be rather surprised. Linux isn't a company. They have nothing to tell their users (other than `don't send your "how do i use gimp" messages to the LKML`:), they don't need advertising. Linus doesn't make money for every install. Nobody on "Linux" cares.
Now the Linux companies like IBM, Red Hat, SuSE, etc. may want you to see ads. But they aren't in the position to enforce this because they do not stuff things down their users' throats. Sure, there's the SuSE mascot all over SuSE's KDE. That's fine; that's branding. SuSE doesn't intend to make a search engine that displays SuSE ads. They aren't trying to put google out of business. Why? Because they make Linux, not search engines. M$ would probably be a good company if they just made Office (or just made Windows, but they don't really do a good job with that). Instead they try to force shit down their users' throats. That's why everyone hates you, M$.
And yes, if SuSE tried to make a search engine, web browser, media player, BIOS, mail client, office suite, etc. that all integrated and all kept me locked to their platform I'd be outraged. Wouldn't you?
They know plenty about making money. Too bad they've violated many laws in the process (which they're finally being punished for!). And yeah sure, money is great. That, however, is not the goal of the open source movement. So what is your point?
Yeah. Clicking those damn links is sooo hard. Seriously btdownloadgui opens up the.torrent file, and then the file downloads. THAT is hard? No wonder people need a fucking paper clip to help them write a paper...
And BTW... Computers are too hard? Then why do people need to use them? Ever hear of a word processor or typewriter? Maybe a calculator would help people with difficult math problems like Integral(sin(x),x,0,2*Pi)...
Anyway, I'm not going to spend my time dumbing down computers for other people. I want them to be powerful, not friendly. Want friendly/eye candy? Get a girlfriend:)
I'm using Firefox. And yes, it is the browser's problem. But slashdot makes an effort to keep page widening posts off slashdot. Why did you widen the page anyway? Wanted to lose some Karma? Keep up the great work. You are truly an asset to the slashdot community *yeahright*.
Didya know that there probably aren't 1280x1024 phosphor dots on your screen? Also, at 1280x1024 the pixels aren't square (!) unless you have a special monitor. Maybe you should pick a better resolution like 1280x960 or 1366x1024. That should reduce some strain/distortion (or pick 1152x864 if you don't have enough pixels on your monitor; look for the dot pitch spec).

Does it really affect you after you're dead?
Yeah, I want to know it too. I'm tired of all the blocked ports at my school :)
ME and BE are very close. That's what his point was.
I think you meant "L i n d o vv s"

That's actually a pretty good idea

I'm good at making money because I murder rich people and take their wallets. That makes it okay?
That's what you're saying. Why don't you just fuck off and read windowslusers.com instead?

They might have a lot of people, but they will be gone if they cause problems.
Interestingly spammers CAN pay that, so I don't see how this is a good idea!!

Well according to the FAQ, you get banned if you make a page widening post. I'm reporting this one too.
Basically the Z-buffering is done in the client. So you can always make things transparent. Don't like it? Don't use walls as part of the game!!
You are widening the goddamn page! Don't do this!
