The best Engrish in a manual that comes to mind is from an Abit manual as well. I have the sentence memorized, but it is on page 83 of this: ftp://ftp.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/pub/mirror/abi t/manual/english/kt7a-raid.pdf
For detail RAID introduce and concept, you can found it on our WEB site "Technological Terms", or you can search the concerning information on internet. We do not description it on this manual.
The motherboard is a couple of years old now, you'd think they would have at least revised the PDF by now...but they didn't.
Floppy drives are still useful to me not to transport documents, but to boot off of. About a month ago, I decided to put Slackware 8.1 on an old P166, and guess what - I had to make boot disks (6 of them).
Then a few days ago I decided to put Slackware 8.1 on a two-year-old Dell (PIII 800). Surprise surprise, it wouldn't boot off the CD, even though it booted off every other bootable CD I tried. So, again the floppy drive was useful.
Also, I've used a boot disk to do an automated installation of Windows XP (with an answer file).
Booting off of a rewritable CD would probably be just as easy (if not easier) and much faster and reliable than floppy disks, but I have not found a way to easily do so. For instance, when trying to get my Dell to work, I spent an hour trying to get the computer to load the six boot/root disks for Slackware with no success. If someone can figure that out, I'd be floppy free...
Well there would be a slight I/O delay using uncompressed audio when a map is loaded, but then it's loaded in RAM. It's not like your hard drive is accessed for each sound every time it is played.
Hard drives are basically unused when it comes to most games of FPS nature, besides the inital loading of a map/sound effects/etc. The only exception I can think of is when you enter a place with high detail or triggered events.
I'd say you would pretty much have to be insane to use any P2P client on your main PC.
I disagree, although it definitely depends on the person. I ran Morpheus when it came out around June of last year almost exclusively until Streamcast ended the old Morpheus. It had a great combination of speed, file selection, successrul transfers, etc. Now that the old Morpheus is gone, I (and many others) look for any program that can come close to Morpheus.
For me, that's KaZaA. The fact that Morpheus didn't come with any spyware was probably the only reason I used it rather than KaZaA. But I don't mind the spyware THAT much.
While installing KaZaA, you can deselect about four bundled applications, and after installing it you can run your computer through Lavasoft Ad-aware and remove the rest of the junk (besides Cydoor, which is required). So what's the big deal?
I really don't care about the spyware that came with KaZaA (whatever is left after removing all I could) because it has no effect on me. It hasn't deleted any of my files. It hasn't annoyed me. It hasn't changed anything (that I noticed).
In the event that it caused some damage (such as several settings changed or some great annoyance), I have no problem at all with formatting. I have everything important (docs, downloads, media etc) off of my C:\ drive and all I ever need to do is format and reinstall windows to C:\ and I will be back to normal.
In fact I find myself reinstalling Windows every one to three months because it's nice to have a fresh start every now and then.
Anyway, back to what you said - I think it's going too far to say that someone would have to be "insane" to use a P2P client on their main PC. I have had one running near 24/7 for a long time...since the first days of Napster. In fact, I remember I installed Napster BETA 2 or 3 (one of the earliest versions) on a friend's PC a long time ago and it's still there.
We won't see the end of this for a very long time. You can count and recount all you want, but you still need to consider that many gore voters didn't vote for gore because of the way the ballots were laid out.
Pro-Bush people think Gore is ruining his image. Pro-Gore people think Bush is ruining his image.
No one is winning here. Whoever becomes president will be disliked by half the nation either way.
And if you are out in the middle of nowhere, how would you connect to this network anyway? I suppose PDA's would be fine, but what about people using laptops?
I wonder if there will be a service charge to use the feature...
If you really had to go, and you were in the middle of Australia, would you pop out your laptop, find a place, go to the place, and do your business, or would you find some bushes that are far more convienent?
Intel is doing the only thing they can do - make faster processors than their previous ones. But I think that we've finally reached a point where a fast processor doesn't mean a whole lot. You won't be able to tell the difference between an 800MHz processor and a 1.5GHz processor unless you are benchmarking. Even so, 1.5GHz is almost twice the clock speed of an 800MHz processor. You can tell the difference between a 166MHz computer and a 350MHz computer.
The PIV is powerful alright, but I don't see the need to be at 1.5GHz right now when most people are fine under 500MHz.
What's really sad is that a lot of people think MHz is equivilent to power, when this is far from true. a 1.2GHz Athlon could toast a 1.5GHzP4 in most things, which proves that more MHz doesn't equal more power. And a G4 at 500MHz is often comparable to a PIII at 800MHz. Intel designed the proc for higher GHz with less power. People who look for high GHz will be swayed to Intel thinking they are getting a more powerful chip.
I'm sick and tired of seeing 1GHz machines come with 64MB of RAM. When will people learn that processor speed doesn't equal performance?

A friend just said:
I could just imagine the sound effects... "You've got AOL OS" "Goodbye"
Wow, looks nice. That's the first iMac I would love to have on my desk. I'd still need to see the specs first, though.

Couldn't they think up a better name than "Orange"? Sounds like a drink, not a piece of technology...

People will be hired to manage the network...the "restroom location" network.
