it would be nice if the yahoo article said what the error was...
and from what i've heard transmeta is supposed to be issuing new micro code patches that can be flash upgraded to the first series right?
ah yes i can see it now.. a beowulf cluster being used to play quake3 REALLY fast
maybe bill gate's ultimate goal is to dominate the world with quake and he's using intel as pawns to promote it?
i was just reading that article.. seems like tom is bitter because he didn't get the recognition he thought he desevered.. not really that big news.. i've read other times when one site will make jabs at another site...(maybe even here.. gasp)
Have you people read alot of the zdnet commentaries? Although i admit i enjoy most of them, they are designed to insight infighting. I think the editors look for stories that will pit one side against the other in an endless "my os/cpu/tech-idol can beat up your os/cpu/tech-idol" flame war. Zdnet rather than being unbiased through objectivity will critisize anything in order to get more life out of articles sometimes. (but it is fun to read what some people will post in response to them)
could just commanalities(is that a word?) in human tought patterns and limitations of contruction materials/techniques be a factor in why those structures had a similar shape?
ok this is not meant to be a troll or start a flame... but... i've read through the posts here and although the press releases say that the kde league is only a pr arm what will make it from having more influence?
it sounds like good intentions, but forgive me for not trusting large corperations in this day and age
the other point i'd like to make is... everyone seems to want linux to spread... but most of the arguments i've seen are about what makes it easier for the developer... yes developers are important, but if you want it to have common appeal, then you need to make it more appealing for the common user kde2 seems to have that potential and hopefully gnome2 will as well
i'm not a developer(i'm a consultant), so i could care less about cobra or things like whether or not c or c++ is better... i just want something that works and that my users can use w/o too much trouble
nonono.. i didn't say i was licking the buttons.. i said laws were being passed about licking the buttons... so in closing i'd like to say... i do NOT lick buttons!.... not that there's anything wrong with that"
those of us who are stupid, lazy or both, yet would like to try out other computing alternatives appreciate anything that would make linux easier to learn w/o crippling it
i can't remember exactly when but several years ago after some of the hubble data was processed, they discovered that the calculations for the age of the universe based upon the distance and velocity of the farthest objects they could measure would place it at only 12-14 billion years old... but we have stars that are supposed to be older than that.
time magazine did an intresting article on "dark matter" because acroding to the article the only way that the universe could be older, if we subscribe to the big bang, is that we must have calculated the mass of the universe wrong... hence there was alot of matter out there that we didn't see before... one of the theories is that there are alot more black holes than we originally thought...
maybe the existence of super-large black holes in the center of galaxies could account for that?
any thoughts from people?
this is probably far beyond our lifetime... but theories exist on "hyperspace" travel... mostly in the realm of sci-fi... but then again lots of stuff that exist now used to be sci-fi... i wouldn;t put much past the ability of human ingenuity...( 'cept maybe not killing ourselves off in the next melenium)
to put in in terms that a dummy like me can understand you are trying to say black holes exist because they have been spotted, but that what they are is just mathmatical theory?
actually i'm not signal11... atleast not consiously(don't know if i post in my sleep)
and apparently according to zdnet:
http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,26 51707,00.html
they have approved 3 technologies...atleast one of whom felton of princton claims to have broken... heh
well i hear laws are in the works (maybe passed already) that says if you lick the acceptence button it's as good as signing a paper... same goes for e-mail "signatures"... it's the cost of doing buiness in an electronic age...
ohhhh scary... i was a boyscout and in my day.. the problem wasn't sexual orientation.. they never asked about that... the problem was i'm not christian... i joined the boy scouts because i was told it was an organisation that would help me develop myself to be physically strong, mentally alert, and morally straight or something to that affect..., what does being christian have to do with any of that? (note: i was never kicked out or anything, but why did they even need to pull me aside and ask that?)
A 2-1 vote? this is something so subjective i don't see why it matters except for the sdmi to use to make itselft feel better. I mean just what is considered "minimal loss" or "no apparent loss" of quality?
didn't the parc team that cracked it say that the online testing "oracle" wasn't quite working either?
personally i could care less if the audio quality degrades a little for the convinience.
do they really think they are going to deter the masses from sharing music with this technology? even if no new mp3s can be ripped what about all the existing millions of mp3s already out there?

i am a "consultant" but i'd say i spend much more time reseting passwords and and fixing things than i do planning

yes, but the lego neo is probably smarter than the real keanu....

when the gnome foundation was founded, didn't the kde team say they didn't need anything like this?
i wonder what changed?
you should now better than that... a spell checker will knot pick up those kind of errors
Do you even know what a monkey is? and do you spank it regularly?
you think maybe the doj is preparing a case against them?
well think about it... it's _america_ on line... not like we speak real english hear half the time
i guess it depends on what you define as the platform... the hardware? the api layer? the os? cause technically the apps run on all of those

um... why do death and birth have to be associated with evil and good? they are part of nature... shiva is not evil just because he/she/it destroys

to tkae it one step further.. can we lock Britney Spears in a box that only the president and speaker have a key to?
