I also think stored procedures are pretty important on large projects - they let you change the backend without having to rewrite the front end, and add security because compromizing the webserver won't necessarily give you any extra access to the db server.

No, if you look (well, if I look) it chops if the minimum goes below about 60. I would rather have a card that has a minimum of 60 fps and a max of 65 than a card with an average of 200fps but routinely drops to 40-50.

but 56 fps is the lower limit for perfect smoothness.. a little above 60 is ideal.

This tomshardware article from a while back compares AGP 1x -> 4x... here were the results. You can see that even in the beginning of 2000, the benefits of higher AGP speed showed diminishing marginal returns.
Nah... the water shouldn't get too hot. 60C is too much for a CPU, and since it is water cooled, assuming there is any reasonable amount of surface area, it shouldn't be worse than a hot shower (40C?).
Consider this though - when you buy from an OEM, certain things are set. You have no choice but to spend money on an OS, MS Office/works, etc, a crap video card (usually) and so on. When you build yourself, you can put your money where it works best. A 2ghz p4 with a TNT2 isn't much compared to a 1.5 with a recent geforce.
Also, an OEM has to pay its employees and when you build yourself, you dont;). I've built a few PCs myself and it always ends up cheaper, because I cut costs where costs should be cut.
Thats because smoking doesn't give you the instant gratification of cancer/death. Buying a broken CD has the instant gratification of not being able to listen to it. People would react.
I thought they went into the explanation of how shrinking worked - two options made public, and the third kept secret which all the research institutions were told to say didn't work.
1. Take out molecules one at a time, till your person is the size of, say a mouse. They discounted this because the person would probably also become as "dumb" as a mouse. 2. Compress the person. You'd be superdense - also not useful 3. Actually perform the magic shrinking, which also lowers mass. They do not explain how it works, but at least dont insult anyone's intelligence.

Maybe it uses quantum mechanics and only "observes" outcomes that it wants - such as an xwing floating out of a sqamp and onto a shore:-)
Here is an analysis of the explosion of the deathstar. If the gravity changes caused by its present weren't enough, its destruction would certainly finish off the planet.
It behaves differently, though. Under windows, VNC basically shows you what the user sees, and puts you at their keyboard, with their mouse. When I set it up under linux/X, it instead acted more like telnetting into a server to run apps remotely, with the DISPLAY variable set, but within VNC - you got a whole new X session.
Yes, it does. The data density is constant. Current CD/DVD drives are "CAV", as in, they always spin the same way. a 52X drive spins at a speed so that the outer tracks can be read at 52X, but the inner tracks are much slower (12X-20X, I would guess)
You can get NICs for $10... i'm sure it costs them $3 to $5. The sound also probably costs $3-$5. When you buy parts in the thousands, I'm sure the rest of the components also drop significatnly in price.

It doesn't. It lets sanyo, plextor, iomega all use the same drive and put their own names on it.
You can set a max thread limit and then a forkbomb will have limited effects

Reminds me of windows NT 4 vs windows NT 4 server - two registry keys and a few hundred bucks were they only real difference.

it doesn't crash for me, it just takes FOREVER to finish because there are so many files being listed over and over again.

We use it at my college for some of the faculty - it works great.

FPGAs are too slow. You would get significantly better performance from an ASIC.

Is the DVD drive IDE? If so, can it be detected by normal PCs?
