CWIS is a very cool thing. It can fire 3000 or 4500 20mm rounds of depleted uranium per min. There is a land based version as well, but different from the article's system.
I sell computers on the side, and I do the same thing. There are 3 things that MS is wrong about...
1. Don't use Levels. That doesn't tell the user anything. The Imac did good because it seemed easy. A level tells the user nothing and is not easy. I sell PCs with security, audio, video, photo, and game options. Options is the keyword here.
2. Base the Levels or Options on the software alone. do not tie it in with hardware. Hardware is a moving target.
3. MS can not do this. The average user just wants to use the PC without training. Training is what they need and what I provide. I bundle their PC with the security option with a router, sofware firewall, alternative browser and email. I give threm printed tutorials on the best way to use these things. If they need a housecall, they they can buy that service to. MS can not do these things. In its attempt to be everything to everyone, MS is tripping itself up again.
If you've ever seen someone go through the process of a hip or knee replacement, then you would know that a 12+ hour plane ride with their knee in a prone position is just not possible.
I'm sure some medical things might be able to be outsourced, but not replacement surgery.
It matters for the hammer. The hammer is ment for servers. There is no way around that. Its ment to run in multi-proc systems. Thats the problem with today's 32-bit servers - a 4GB memory limit. 64bit exensions is the workaround for that limitation.
Well, I can tell you here in rural Minnesota that cable and DSL is not an option.
After moving from the cities and cable modems, 56k is just fine with me to @ 8.95/month its even better. I don't stream media or game. Pages load just fine.
People can set a modem to disconnect with an incoming call. A second line is not necessary for dialup or the added expense.

From my experience, professors do not look so closely at the individual student.
My University does the opposite. With the exception of CS 102 and 103, Java programming 1 and 2, all of our classes are group classes. I almost every case, in a group of 5, 1 or 2 of the 5 would carry the load while 1 or 2 would do virtually nothing.
I had software engineering last spring. Its a senior level class. One of my group members did not know how to send attachments in Hotmail. She didn't know what a.zip file was. Our project was to make a checkers program in VB. She is not from the USA, so she didn't know how to play checkers. By the end of the semester, she STILL did not know how to play checkers. The exams covered software engineering concepts from the book, not VB code. Its been my experience that the test cover concepts, while leaving the actual code out.
Yes we had a spreadsheet to show our time, we used MS Project. But the problem is the group assignments take up a lot of time while making up only between 10 and 20 percent of our grade. You could get a D in the group, do well on the exams, and receive a B for the course.
My last semester here and I am doing all my work alone. Both my advanced assembler and networking classes use groups. It seems the student learns more when they are by themselves. It is very easy to get by on the back of the group here.
In addition to being a pain in the arse, the compiler will also have to be considered. Was it a Metrowerks, MSVC, Borland. Then which optimizations were used to create the prog.
How would this be explained to the general public?

Congratulations you have managed to address every niche except the one the parent post addressed.
Keep up the good work. I'm sure with people like you, Linux will be mainstream in no time.
to read someone from a mostly Linux messageboard call windows fragmented
The reason why we did it then is because there were no robots. Plain and simple.
What the hell were we supposed to send, Sputnik?
not able to laugh at yourself?
The performace hit is insignificant when compared to the advantage of the new power management alone.
The addition of the 64 bit processing and dual cores is good as well.
I would still argue for an AMD processor, but its nice to see intel finally doing something it shold have done from the begining.

well, OpenGL is dead. MS bought it and now they will kill it to make D3D the only way on a PC.
For just $89 you can:
Run popular Windows® games on Linux® with TransGaming Technologies®' portability layer.
Seamlessly run many Windows games on Linux including:
StarCraft®
Baldur's GateTM
Half-Life® Counterstrike
and many others through TransGaming's subscription service.
Or you could pay $72 to get a copy of WinME and run them natively without a subscription.
This one is soo close.
meaning that it is not embedded, but soo close
get it?
sorry about hte spelling
OK if this doesn't make you drool, then you must be at the wrong web site.
I can see Nvidia's next generation GPU to have embeded DRAM. This one is soo close.

Itanium will have 200+ GP registers.

Textpad is what I use. The search functions are very unconventional for a Windows app, but you get used to it.
Anyone know how many patents M$ has? Funny, don't hear much on that.

Glide has been open source for a while. Its for all chips.
Most of the new CDR drives are quiet, since they have lower spin speeds.
I've been using a Teac 4x4x32 for 9 months now for writing and reading. Its quiet.
Obviously, you have never been to Japan.
LOL
Nevermind
