Although the game itself didn't scare me too badly, I have to admit, there was one part of the game where a boy in the police station followed a dog around. Then Aya Brea would end up meeting up with them, only to pull the boy away as the dog mutated into a 3 headed beast or something (been awhile since i played it).
Seeing the FMV footage of it for the first time at around midnight really didn't sit well for me as it made me think about my dog (God knows why:P)
So anyway, there's my game, feel free to call me a wuss lol:P
If they need a faster interface, what is wrong with SCSI?
Short answer, there isn't anything wrong.
I can see the benefits of the new cable design but don't see how the SATA architecture really benefits over SCSI.
Long answer, it's not supposed to replace SCSI, it's supposed to replace the current Parallel ATA technologies (for the record, fitting these IDE ribbon cables in smaller cases are a royal bitch!)
Whenever I've needed higher throughput on a high end desktop or server I just went out and put in an Adaptec SCSI card and SCSI drive.
That's awesome, but what about simple home computers who dont need the bells and whistles that SCSI offers, but rather something more comparable at a fraction of the cost.
I think he's referring to the noise dampeners built inside the hard drive, but i noticed that it's still running at 7200 RPM. Now, correct me if i am wrong, but how does running a 7200RPM hard drive using different transfer protocols (be it IDE, SCSI, USB, SATA) make it any quieter in itself?
Seal the device in several layers of shielding metals. No data's getting out then. And nobody's going to steal your new, portable, 500lb cd player.
Yeah, the next phase will consist of the RIAA hiring people to drive vans everywhere to pick up stray transmissions emitting from the headphone jack straight to your headphones;)
This does make sense, IBM hasn't really marketed OS/2 for quite some time, so it's conceivable that they would discontinue selling and supporting it...
Sound familiar?
Microsoft has done this too with their previous versions of Windows (Read: Not their money makers)
If I may ask, what made you decide to base this distribution on Debian as opposed to something like Slackware, RedHat, or even a Build Your Own Linux Distribution?
In other words, was there any redeeming factors Debian had over any other distribution?

The difference between the examples in the article and Slashdot (assuming you're referring to the subscription system) is that with Slashdot, you either pay to get rid of ads while reading, or you dont. Plain and simple.
With other fees (car rentals fees, atm fees, airplane ticket fees), if you wanna use these services and opt out of these *cough*bullshit*cough* fees, you are SHIT OUT OF LUCK!:(

I guess you could say, we are working on things more significant and important than making sure OpenBSD works on crusty old PDP-8s and Nintendos
:P
Well don't lose sleep over it, I pretty sure NetBSD tied up those loose ends LOOOOONG ago.
Can you play games like Donkey Kong on it?:P
As likely as that may be, I saw HERE that PET stands for Personal Electronic Transactor. (look on the sidebar under "PET PREview")
Keepi in mind that it was compiled from a scanned article.
"When I grow up, I"m going to Bovine University!!"
I take it that all those with slot-loading laptops and iMacs need not apply.

Oi, that could get messy.
Well, it's certainly no worse than using the new Celine Dion CDs
Hell, your computer (and most people) will thank you for having great taste
Actually, it's not quite that fargone, according to this.
The whole ideaology and concept of ATA started in 1986 as a joint venture between Compaq, Imprimus, and Western Digital
Of course, as time progressed, you get into IDE, EIDE, ATAPI, UDMA/33,66,100,133, and so forth

from what i can tell, These guys are addressing that very issue, considering that they're an adopter of it.

Nice idea, except i'd imagine you'll still need some form of power to run SATA drives themselves ;)
We are having major server problems at the moment. Something is up - we will fix this ;)
Server bashing aside, how does serial ATA compare with SCSI as far as overhead, connection (daisy chain, bus, etc..)?
To eliminate duplicate Slashdot posts

Not really, the tools they use are only as good as the editors themselves

Maybe the record companies will finally realize that there's more to music than the crap they force feed us, courtesy of radio, and MTV! :P
Who knows, they might actually TRY to sign people with talent! LOL!
NOW you want to know what my ass smells like?? Two Letters: FO!

Dont you mean BO?
oh, wait, you said "OS/2" not "PS2"... for a second there I thought I cared...
:P), you have my condolences ;)
As a former "PS/2" user (and current "PS2" player

Yeah really, i mean if you're gonna have pictures THAT big, at least have some of the BRIDE! :P ;)
LOL
Hey congratulations! :D

I wish you guys the best of luck.

It might be my imagination,but doesn't the $250 price tag strike anyone as being ludicrous???
I mean, looking at pricewatch, a similar 40GB Maxtor HD costs around $70-$80 (give or take, street value)
And supposedly, the 3 disc set of Darwin costs $15 per disc...how does that equate to $250???
Here's one they need:
I was watching a sci-fi show...
and it was like...beep beep beep beep beep...
and then...like...the entire show was gone...
i was like..uh?
sci-fi channel devoured it...it was a good show
It's kind of...(long silence...) a bummer.
