Who cares how much money it made? I want to see the number of tickets sold for each movie. Tabulating total ticket prices is irrelevant as there are so many different price points for tickets (matinee, weekend, cheap night, regular, adult, child, senior, youth, etc).
The only metric worth tracking is number of tickets sold. Yet no one ever tracks them.
If you actually pay attention to what the Architect tells Neo, and you think back to what Morpheus tells Neo before giving him the pills, you'll realise that everything actually does make sense.
You have to remember... this isn't three separate movies. It's one long story spread across three movies. It's more of a series than a set of sequels.
And if you actually pay attention to the movies, and to what is and isn't said, it really does make sense, and it really is consistent.
Round about the time DEC was bought by Compaq, back in the 90's. A lot of the tech was sold to Intel or licensed by AMD, but all the engineers etc went to Compaq.
The final death knell for the Alpha was the merger between Compaq and HP.
Well, since we're being nit-picky, there's no such beast as a "Pentium 866". The fastest Pentium available is 200 (yes, there's the 266 MHz, but that's a Pentium MMX).
If you are going to correct people, at least be correct yourself.:)
Unless you need a specific feature of Yahoo! Messenger, consider trying GAim, Kopete, or one of the other multi-protocol clients. They are slimmer than the YMessenger client, provide 90% or more of the same functionality, and let you connect to multiple IM servers with just one client.
Oh, and just to be pedantic, it's not Linux emulation, it's Linux compatibility. There is a difference, although few people really care to know what it is.:)
Actually, Garfield has slimmed down *a lot* over the years. During the 25th anniversary week, they ran several strips that compared the original (tall, fat, ugly, bloated) Garfield, with the new slimmer, shorter, nicer-looking Garfield.
We'd really have to worry, though, if they named it Silvester.
Actually, they left behind Arnie's arm.:) It was ripped off in the fight with the T-1000 when Arnie got it stuck between a bunch of gears. That is the last we see of that arm.
Arnie jumps into the molten metal carrying the arm from SkyNet. Whoops! Guess they wanted to make a sequel after all.:)
Yes, but Windows 9x *uses* 16-bit code during normal, everyday operating. There is no way to *not* use the 16-bit portions of the 9x kernel.
The 9x kernel is *not* a 32-bit kernel. It is a hybrid 16/32-bit kernel.
The Linux kernel is a fully 32-bit kernel. The various BSD kernels are fully 32-bit kernels. The NT kernel is fully 32-bit. All of these are the basis for fully 32-bit operating systems.
The 9x kernel will never be a fully 32-bit kernel.
It's not the kernel that is the problem. It's everything else they changed on top of it.
2000 has a very nice look and feel to it. Everything is in a nice logical place, and is easy to find. It stays out of your way and lets you get your work (or fun) done.
XP moved everything around, for no good reason. The UI is horrible, even when using Classic Mode. The control panel is completely rearranged, with no logic to it. And the resource requirements for it have skyrocketed. It constantly gets in your face and tries to change the way you work to "The Microsoft Way", which is rarely the right way.
Actually, there is still 16-bit code in the Windows 9x kernel. And there is still a lot of Thunking (switching from 16-bit to 32-bit and back) going on, even with just the OS running (no apps).
The only truly, fully 32-bit OS from Microsoft are NT, 2000, and XP.
The system comes with a power brick, just like most printers and laptops. Thus, most of the heat will be generated outside of the case. All they have to cool is the CPU, and in something that small, all that requires in a nice grill overtop of the CPU to vent the hot air directly to the outside world.
Most of us whine because we are seeing increases in hardware speeds... with a direct connection to slow-downs in software performance.
I would love to see Intel and AMD most to a bi-annual speed bump roadmap. IOW, they'd release a new CPU with a faster speeds every 6 months, at the earliest.
This would give the software developers time to hone their skills at actually utilising all the power and features of the hardware. There's nothing worse than seeing a new release of Software X that requires twice as much CPU and RAM for no other reason than the programmers didn't feel like optimising it (why bother when there are billions of extra clock cycles out there to use up).
Back when it took Intel a long time to come out with a new CPU architecture or speed boost, programs would see tremendous performance boosts between versions as the programmers would have time to optimise to the *existing* hardware.
Those would be the TruX 7-laser CD-ROM drives. The early versions (around 40x) sucked. The next revision (48x) was great and worked as advertised. The last revision (52x and 72x) didn't work at all and TruX was ambroiled in a class action lawsuit over the drives.
Great concept... decent implementation at low speeds. Too bad they didn't have the R&D cash to make it work correctly at high speed.
The problem is that they can be "disabled" but they cannot be uninstalled. I want to be able to uninstall the web browser, the chat client, the netmeeting client, the e-mail client, and all the other applets that come with Windows. Alas, very little of that can be removed.
All I want is an OS... something that manages the hardware resources of my computer. Let me pick and choose which applications to use.
MS integrated a virus scanner into DOS 6.x and Windows 3.x. This is nothing new. Except for the fact that they have publically announced where they got the AV tech from, this time.

Works slowly, but it works. And, it tastes a *lot* better than the other whitening toothpastes I've tried (Colgate, Crest, Arm & Hammer).

That's a good one, but I highly doubt it to be the real one. :)

Think back to what the Architect told Neo about choice. Then think back to what Morpheus tells Neo before handing him the pills.
If you paid close attention to those two scenes, then the entire three movie plot should just jump right out at you.
If you actually pay attention to what the Architect tells Neo, and you think back to what Morpheus tells Neo before giving him the pills, you'll realise that everything actually does make sense.

Oh, you mean like the Debian releases based on the NetBSD and FreeBSD kernels? :)

It's still part of the -CURRENT branch, though. The -STABLE branch is still 4.x.
The 5.x codebase will not be made -STABLE until at least 5.2 or 5.3.
-RELEASE is nothing more than a snapshot of *either* -CURRENT or -STABLE.

G4U has no relation, whatsoever, to Norton Ghost. There is only one way to use G4U: bit-for-bit backups.
:D
Next time, read the info on the page listed in the post you are commenting on.

Why not call it a DOS box? Afterall, if you are opening it via command.com, it *is* a DOS box. :)
:D
Oh, wait, you mean she actually knows the difference between cmd.exe and command.com on Win2K??
[shrug] I dunno. I don't have any DVD drives of any kind, so I've never used the software. I just took a speedread through the FAQ. :)
growisofs is a front-end to mkisofs, which has no relation to dd. When in doubt, read the FAQ. :)
Well, they did buy Microsoft Xenix back in the late 70s or early 80s. Could be MS passed on a few stupid genes along with the source.

Corel bought WordPerfect from Novell.
SCO bought UnixWare from Novell.
Caldera bought SCO.
Corel marketed a Linux distro based on Debian, but sold that off to somebody with a wierd name (Xandros or something like that).
Caldera used to market a Linux distro.
SCO has a version of Unix, and has discontinued their Linux distro.
I think that covers the relationships between those three. Confuseled yet??
