if seagate has the patent then they better start making some damn SSD drives. (that are actually on the market)
it would be good to have some competition anyway to drive the prices down..
still. I cant wait for 100gb SSD drives.. finally a laptop for gigging that can handle a beating.
really once these are standard in laptops I think you will see more robust laptops on the market since the spinning disks have always been one of the quickest parts to fail (well assuming that the laptop has decent cooling design and isnt running some desktop processor that is melting the damn thing)
So what is the difference between this and a Saphire Radeon X800Pro? sounds like the same board essentially.

Does this remind anyone of the Sprawl and Chiba City in William Gibson's Neuromancer? It sounds like the sprawl to me, I mean lots of geeks, gutterpunks and street techs all in a somewhat anarchistic area of town they have carved out for themselves.. sounds like an interesting place to visit if I'm ever in Tokyo.
those platters were huge, I remember my uncle having one laying around his garage. The reader for the thing was broken and naturally being an insanely obsolete piece of hardware he was never able to find a way to fix it, and well now a days there is no point in it other than to say you did it and having bragging rights for getting netbsd running on it. lol. mail server that eats more electricity than your washing machine anyone?
On the down side, not only would your electricity bill go up, but chicks would be ever so dissappointed to find out that your wang was indeed big but still inherently useless as far as thier satisfaction is concerned. look on the bright side, there are always the ones that marry you for your money!
The principle behind that is actually called closure. It encompasses everything from misspelt words to optical illusions and even random scribles that resemble . Its basically the human tendency to used pattern recognition. Speaking of closure, I have extended issues with my ex-girlfriend because I'm basically now her life time tech support. If I didn't know she was broke I would charge her but ultimately I'm just a nice guy. Which sucks because she lives about a 45 minute drive away so I have gotten good at solving all potential problems on one trip so I dont have to make it again. I thought about other types of "payment" but shes my Ex and I know shes involved. I've lost my intrest, the spark is gone and so is my only good reason for going over there, now my position is demoted from lover to ex and geek god. c'est la vie. At least everyone else whose computer I fix is eternally grateful and usually try to pay me, though depending on who it is, sometimes I will opt for dinner or something else instead. Its hard to charge your good friends for something that is as routine as wiping your arse. Sure it ain't fun, but it ain't rocket science either.
then its kind of Amazing the CIA hasnt sent in some black-ops squad to support a dictator to overthrow it, after all the last thing America would do is let a legitimate and successful communist state exist (except for in the case of China where nukes are involved and we cant meddle like we do in the third world, I should probably note that China isnt a legitimate communist state anyway as its more a totalitarian dictatorship.. but then again who am I to judge? at least china openly admits they are tyrant ran, as opposed to our own tyrant who hides behind this farcial bullshit "democracy" in a capitalist REPUBLIC)
perhaps its like the woman who claimed to see the virgin mary in her grilled cheese sandwich (Which recently sold on ebay for an absurd sum of money).. point is.. people see what they want to.
Well.. the technologies NASA develops have long been used in military applications anyway, but does this mean that the oh so lame "star wars defense system" is back on the books? Well it looks like we can expect a few things from NASA now. 1.) That more tax dollars are going to be wasted in the usual outrageous NASA contract style. & 2.) Bush will probably get some kick backs out of it... or there will be a Haliburton contract involved.
regardless it appears that the idea of peaceful relations atmosphere space as usually had, will be a thing of the past. Hello New World Order eye in the sky part 2, total control. If that chimp in office decides to send some nukes to space then we know were screwed because odds are that it will end up not making it, mmm nuclear bits everywhere... and global warming run amuck.. on the positive side, Bush would have a realllllly hard time denying global warming exists after that stunt.. assuming we lived to see it. Also florida would probably no longer be a problematic election state.
Ive used palm since the IIIx, and Ive noticed they tend to be the Apple of the PDA world. For the same reason using a OS 9 Mac bothers me (lack of power for non retarded users) using a Palm bothers me. Its great for what it does, stable, and has tons of available software (something OS 9 lacked) but at the same time, its time that Palm followed suit with Apple and used a *nix core. Ultimately the short comings I find in palms are the lack of a console, that and the akward multitasking, perhaps this has improved though, ive been out of the palm game a little while. Until I can run linux on a palm, Iam sticking with Zaurus.
everyone glorifies the human eye, but what about say a hawk? our eyes suck in comparision. as do our noses to say a dog, the dog has us beat on hearing range as well. Perfection is like "normal" once you seek to define it, you realize how hard it is to put your finger on it. Perfection is subjective, there will always be something better if you look long enough. I wonder if darwin was refering to the third eye that he couldnt explain by evolution, surely the eyes we have in socket are not the best thing since sliced bread, nor are they the most perfect.
thats hardly as weird as you make it out to be. The collective conciousness theory has quite a few supporters. Anyone who doesnt believe that the church has reason to suppress the real word of christ needs to look no further than the gospel of thomas, gee wonder why it wasnt adopted, maybe because it out rock the faulty foundations the church has built itself on. Its no better off than the jewish temple that jesus realized the trivial nature of. god is on no throne, god is no one, christians and other religions personify god because they cant fathom the living light inside us all. Read up on buddhism and the Qabalah for starters. In essence all the messiahs were getting at the same thing, but the followers played the telephone game for so long that the focus on important aspects was lost and people got obbsessive about minor details. The ignorance amoung man "civilized" as we claim to be, is the greatest barrier to human progress and peace.
how are they so different? Both seek to explain things that dont have an immediately obvious explaination. Both claim to be the best thing since sliced bread, but leave us hanging instead. Science has gotten to the point where its running into the divine and unexplainable, and christianity is so focused on money and power that it will never see the light. They both fall short of thier promises and it really is no suprise, they are both are ran by a bunch of egocentric people who over analyze things so much that they have no common sense anymore. I personally feel for Jesus, you know the man they made a martyr and bannered as the savior, while ignoring his words and indulging in the well intentioned disciple's church making. The man was anti church, anti temple, for the sole reason that he was awakened and realized the trivial nature of such buildings and how they blinded the congregations from realizing the obvious, no ammount of faith in a building, or its dogma, or its books, or its dieties, is going to save you. a church is no more holy than a tree, honestly I would say its less, because It was made by man, its only devine influence is second hand. its everyman for himself, and luckily were not all alpha male gun toting postal americans, so you can get a helping hand but ultimately to wake up and see the real wisdom of christ and all the other "messiahs" you have to stop listening to these self proclaimed authorities and get down to the essence. you got to help yourself because there is no ammount of religious fervor thats going to grant you some "place in heaven" you already got one, but its funny how people fail to see the obvious and feel the need to complicate the hell out of everything.
I too, have delt alot with older cars, and one of the more frustrating things ive noticed is that the Kelly Blue Book online service, cuts off the models of cars at anywhere around like 80-89 depending on the make and model. What occured to me is how easy it would be for another site to harvest the data off Kelly's before it gets removed as newer cars get added.. its just a thought but such a site would be very useful. Also ive noticed theres little infomation on alot of Cars in terms of Reverse Engineering and Hacking solutions for problems that perhaps for whatever reason the part required is eather not available or wayyy too expensive. I think creating a "Everything2" style site but for Reverse Engineering would be a much welcomed change on the web.
yea a bit like runnin windoze 95 on a 486/33 with 16 megs of ram lmao... sure its great untill you move the mouse or click on the start menu... then well your mood reflects your screen... blue.

Aparently your "sources" are eather A. clueless as hell or B. government officials, which eather way makes it obvious why these problems never get fixed untill the very last min.. hmm you know its people like you who regurgitate this governmental propaganda that really support thier political cover-ups and public denial of everything and anything that they dont "feel we should be 'concerned' with" i for one think the government has lost its focus long ago, not to mention National Security is the excuse for everything these days, but god knows national security didnt help the WTC or any of the people killed on 9-11 and all these new laws (or lack there of, anyone else notice all our rights getting secretly sucked away?) And Big Bad Bush is there being the "fearless" leader that no one supported before 9-11 hmm what a coincidence, too bad there are no such things as coincidences, things happen for reasons, and in this case the reasons are clear, I for one vote for getting these courrupt 'parties' out of office and get rid of all these presidents who spent thier college years absorbed in secret societies, (with many successful business execs i might add) i mean this country is so fucked that no one even wants to touch it with a ten foot pole anymore, even its own people, who hide behind patriotism because they cant handle the truth that the government could care less about them and they are a statistic which doesnt even matter, the people dont have shit anymore, well nothing except our "god given" disillusion.

lol.. yea i agree. besides what kind of a moron sees a brand new red sports car with the keys in the ignition and now one in sight for miles and instead climbs into his gremlin and drives off.. hmm...

right on, my point exactly, no one paid linus and he didnt go bitching about sending money, its about earning respect and actually getting things accomplished.
