And then someone will come up with a defense for the laser. And so it goes, as it has since the first caveman put an elk skull on his head to protect him from Throgg's club and Throgg started aiming at the knees instead.
I think you let your rhetoric run away with you a bit. GWB has a ways to go before he reaches the criminal traitor level of Jeff Davis, or Bedford Forrest, for that matter.
As far as removing fundamental rights, the Confederacy and the Klan have done far more over the past 150 years than the Bush clan has over the last 10.
Also note that the Powerbook is usable for movie viewing at the weight listed. The Dell has it's optical drive out. In my experience, the combo drives add about 3/4 of a pound to the overall weight.
I'm curious if anyone will drag the Norwegian prosecutors before the International Criminal Court for violating EU Human Rights Law. Isn't Norway a signatory to the court treaty?
Whoa buddy... Try breathing into a paper bag, you're about to hyperventilate. I have a recommendation for you. There's a switch on the television marked "Power" try setting it to the "off" position during the airing of the mini-series.
Here we are about to go to war and people have their undies in a knot over a television show. Maybe George Bush is representative of the American intellect.
Well, if that is how they do showcases, I see no need to visit them again. I can read manufacturer's websites on my own. I don't need to give ad impressions to a site that does a google search, cuts and pastes, and then posts the link to/.
Was it just me, or did this roundup look suspiciously like a "cut and paste the press releases and call it an article" job? There was no insight as to which device would be better for particular tasks, just breathless discussions of each device that read as if they'd come straight from the manufacturer's PR flacks.
Is this normal for this site? If so, I don't think that I'll be reading any more articles that they "write."
Actually, the install went fine with the software enabled... At least I think it did. I was helping my Dad over the phone. Guess I'll need to look at his machine next time I'm near it.
I think I turned on the BIOS based MBR protection on his machine as well. Like I said, I'll need to take a look.
Ummmm... small problem. The oldest piece of human writing we have is a cuineiform tablet... with a recipe for beer on it. The Egyptian hieroglyph for "food" is a representation of two loaves of bread, and a pot of beer.
Beer was "heard of" way more than 2000 years ago. The recipe has changed quite a bit (hops were unheard of back then) but a fermented malt beverage has been a staple through most of human history.

Any problem that requires a big working set can benefit from running on big iron. If you can't sub-divide the memory usage, you'll spend a lot of time whipping memory requests out over very slow links. Cray has a bunch of data on this. The short of it is that it's all about memory latency. The X1 series is built have extremely low latency.
That's not to say that every complex problem needs a supercomputer. That's why Cray also sells Intel clusters. Right tool for the right job and all of that.
And, of course, remember that tthe station is not yet complete. Only the Shuttle can do that job.
Actually, aren't there a few Energias left, or did the Russians dispose of them all? They have enough lift to put the parts into ISS' orbit. The big problem is assembly. Soyuz lacks the EVA features of the Shuttle, and the ISS needs a crew of six to support construction (it takes three people just to keep the systems up and running.)
It seems to me that the oft-delayed lifeboat space glider that NASA was supposed to be developing might be the answer. Only problem is that there's no way it can be finished in time. If we could get a crew of six up there safely, we could use Big Dumb Boosters to orbit the parts.
The problem is that their heads are too firmly shoved up their own (or each other's) asses.
So what you're saying is that liberals and conservatives have at least one thing in common?
Dear Dave,
I'm running a Wintel PC and RTLinus to do real-time control of some nuclear fishing experiments I'm working on. I've been using a 1Gb Celereon CPU but I've been having jitter problems, so I've been considering another processor, perhaps an AMD Athalon or Duron. My problems might also be coming from my NVIdeo card or from some other bus interaction. Could you offer me some advice?
Well, I'm not Dave, but we share a first name, so I will offer you this advice from the bottom of my heart:
You do realize that PF1-Gold has exactly crap to do with VMS? Sounds like you were using one of Digital's word processing systems tied to a VAXCluster. I remember binding the PF keys on VT102 for those times when I had to use EDT for editing, but most of my time was spent in Emacs anyway, which worked just fine.
DCL (the CLI for VMS) didn't need any more special keys than bash does. At the time I used it, its biggest weakness was an extraordinarily lame way of implementing interprocess pipelining. It was so slow that you would re-write utilities to be specificially interprocess aware and talk through mailboxes (which had nothing to do with e-mail) rather than let the shell handle the commands as filters, a la *nix.
The priviledge model on the other hand, was beautiful. You could keep know-it-all snots just out of college (like me) out of trouble by giving them only what they needed to do for the job. Unix's model of God and Peon pales by comparison.
And the clustering. Jeebus, you've not even seen clustering until you've seen VMS. We were doing more with clusters and shared resources in 1989 than most systems can do today.
Digital had the marketing sense of a camel's rear end, but they hired damned good engineers. Just goes to show that the best technology doesn't always win. Something to chew over when you contemplate the fate of the Unices versus the marketing monster from Redmond.
Uhhh your paragraph one is way off. Almost all torpedoes have a passive homing or "wake-following" mode. They also can be steered by the passive sonar on the firing platform if the torp is wire guided. A torp can't usually carry enough power for active guidance throughout the run, particularly if fired at extreme range. Quieter surface ships do work against subs, since the the sub is unlikely to be using active sonar itself to acquire a surface target. It's a great way to advertise your position to ASW forces.
But you can rent them from the video store, and more and more stores are allowing you to apply the rental fee towards the purchase price if you decide to keep it.
I know that IBM's standard policy is to patent *everything*.
Yep. And I wonder how many IBM patents SCO is in violation of? That's one of the reasons that Big Blue is so aggressive in its patenting policies. They like to be able to counterstrike when threatened.
Uh, Cyanide is organic, and it will take you down a lot faster than cadmium will. All organic means in this context is "contains carbon." Plenty of organic molecules are toxic to animal life on Earth.
I believe you will find that the South Carolina Seccession Congress started meeting before Lincoln's inauguration. The troops and weapons were a direct response to that act. The firing on Fort Sumter was a reaction to an attempt by the US Government to station US Army troops in a US Army fort belonging to the US Government. Of course southerners had problems with it. They had already decided to secede.
I want a Confederate Battle Flag tee-shirt that has the damn thing on fire with a few bullet holes through it. The legend would read as follows:

So submit a patch already. Great chance to show off your coding skills.

I remember that entry. I believe that it was published on an April 1st, if that helps you find it. Of course, now you don't need to, right?

The install instructions for TurboTax state that it will not install correctly with a virus checker enabled. Now we know why.

Too bad we don't have the Saturn tooling anymore. We could park most of the ISS in Lunar orbit with a few of those.

Richard Stallman has sent an angry e-mail demanding a name change to GNUMA.
