Not trying to flame. I used to be a big fan of the original as well as TNG. However, the plotlines in B5 were far superior to anything on StarTrek, IMHO of course. Also, no Wesley Crusher type characters:-)
The move to 166mhz bus is nice but

Might as well wait for the Hammer. The built in memory controller should to wonders for latency. Of course the 64 bit stuff will be a nice future feature to have.
WorldCom has close to $30B of debt. The interest payments alone are huge. They're not the only one either. Most telecom companies are drowning in debt.
The drive market has been a commodity business for several years now. There's very little to distinguish the top offerings from the various vendors. IBM's exit from the drive arena recently was a reminder of this. A few years ago when I was part of a team designing a high-end RAID controller, it was the concensus of all the engineers that IBM made the best SCSI drives. They were dumbing billions into R&D and they still couldn't differenciate their offerings enough to make it profitable.
Some amazing saves by the Brazillian keeper. But what was up with those announcers??? Their analogies made absolutely no sense. I think that I would have understood more if I had watched the game on Univision (and I don't speak Spanish)
MSNBC praising Linux would be like /. praising Win

I've owned about a half dozen different 3d accelerators. I still have a Riva128 based card laying around somewhere.
The 3d market was 3DFX's to lose. What killed 3DFX was that their good cards rewuired a 2d card to run. They were 3d only. The Banshee, which did incorporate a 2d core was late and always seemed buggy. By the time they got their act together with the 3000 series it was too late.
At least ATI is starting to provide some competition or the damn graphic cards will cost more than all the other components combined.
MSFT is counting on the judge being completely ignorant of the technology.
Gates never showed any signs during the testimony of realizing that his company broke the law. He doesn't want to realize or capitulize to the idea that a monopolist has to play by different rules.
It can be seen with almost any telescope. It's near the second star in Orion's Sword. Preaty neat. I wonder how long the exposure was on those pictures.
So you don't think that the Bush administration is scrambling to distance themselves from it?
If Enron didn't do anything illegal then why did Arthur Anderson people destroy all those documents?
I'm not sure whom you're referring to regarding owning the stock. I've never held and Enron stock. All I'm saying is that Bush will be less gung ho about bending over backwards for big business. And what does Clinton have to do with anything?
Balance is good, get you head out of your a$$.
Microsoft got a slap on the wrist from the Feds. They figure that the Bush administration will be firmly in their corner. Because of all the fallout and implications between Enron execs and the Bush administration. Bush may want to do something to show that he's not a pushover for business. Even if he doesn't pull strings to go after MSFT, I'm sure that he won't do anything to help them. Congressmen will probably think twice about helping out a huge corp in the near future as well.
Where did I say that GW was responsible for the economy going South. I meant that a republican administration is more pro business and thus more likely to go easy on Microsoft.
The economy is a seperate matter that's also playing in Microsoft's favor. If Microsoft's stock still acocunts for a large chunk of both Nasdaq and the Dow. If it was to fall 50% or so, both idexes would feel it.
GW in the white house and the economy going into the crapper. I think that they'll go easy on Microsoft in part hoping that their stock rebounding might revive Nasdaq.
How close are we with optical switching to be able to build an all optical computer?
Instead of just on or off each 'bit' have have different states depending on the shade of light.
Imagine a system where a few thousand different shades of light are recognized.
1)Read Microsoft's secutiry bulletins.
2)Find sites that haven't patched the hole yet.
3)Crack the site using information provided by Ms in step 1.
4)Repeat.
It pretty amazing to me that commerce sites don't patch security holes as soon as fixes become available.
Dragon Dictate or IBM's voice recognition.
It better be a whole lot better than off the shelf products considering how much the CIA must have spent developing it.

I'd love to have something like that .

Don't use the program.
Great, now that the bubble boy is cured, maybe we can get that whole Moops/Moors things figured out.

The moon revolves around the earth in an eliptical orbit, not a circular one. Unless he's talking about getting the average distance.
