I wish it had worked as well for me. My own fault I guess for ridding my bike too much. When the ER doctor saw me X-Rays he freaked. Rushed to to get a Cat Scan and everything. His comment was that I just didn't look like my X-Rays. He said that I shouldn't have been sitting up much less walking around. When I was a teen I hated my body as well. I played American football from the time I was 5 "They didn't do no stinking flag football back then" until I was 17. Heck I played tackle football with out pads just for fun back them. I am shocked that I still have OEM knees at this point in my life.
About two years ago I came down with pneumonia. I thought it was the flu and so did the doctor at the urgent care clinic. After two weeks when I didn't get better they took X-rays and found that I was really in bad shape. They sent me to the hospital but they didn't have "privileges" at the hospital so they had to send me to the ER. They gave me a DVD with my X-Rays. When I got there they didn't know what to do with the DVD!. Well since I didn't look that bad and my ekg was good I waited about 10 hours! I was in the hospital for a week. Buy they time I got in they where wondering if I should go into ICU since one lung was completely shutdown and only had half of the other one working. I have to wonder if they could have just popped in the DVD if I would have gotten in sooner. Oh and I do have a real doctor. Since I have always been so healthy in the past when I tried to get in they told me it would be three weeks. The poor guy felt so bad that he office now has standing orders that if I say I really need to get in that I get in.
A 777 would probably due. The thing is going with a brand new design will mean that parts available and life span will both be longer. The 747-8 range and payload would also be handy. A 380 never, not going to happen.
Compile code? Do it all the the time with a code base of over 100k lines. Works fine on even a single core P4. Developers don't often do a make clean. You only compile the objects, functions, libraries... what ever that has changed. Render 3d animations??? Lots?... Outside of CAD shops who? Sure a few but not a lot. Edit HD video??? Again not a lot. Again I said MOST people. Your cases are edge at best.
You may be right. The thing is that the flip camcorder is so cheap that they may soon be everywhere. Just wait until cellphones come with HD video. But yes cheap, simpler, and lower power use going to be the way of the future.
The one thing that takes more speed than a five year old PC and that is digital video. HD-digital camcorders are now under $200. Transcoding video to put onto DVDs may become popular. If Blu Ray recordable disks become cheap then people may start making those at home.
But even that may not need a fast CPU. I think you will see more and more video work off loaded to the GPU.
Yea but then you will be stuck with only high end stuff. I would wait until the consumer I7 hits unless you are a hard core gamer. But as I said I really am not all that interested in the highend. It is just really overkill right now. You can build a good X2 780G system for under $300 right now. Or less than you would spend for just an I7 CPU. Core2s are still a little more expensive but your right they are still a good choice.
The Core I7 isn't all that future proof. Intel is going to bring out the consumer version of the I7 with guess what... A new Socket! I think that the AM2+ socket will have a good life span. The AM2 sure did. The thing really is though is that the Core2 and the X2 really are still "good enough". Most people really are not dieing for a faster PC. The Atom is the right now the most interesting CPU around. I think AMD should produce a two core version of the PhenomII or a 45nm X2 cpu. A very low power use AMD cpu combined with the 780G would be a great product right now. The only reason that any QuadCore interests me right now is that I am addicted to FSX.
It does look good but. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE LIMITED TO JAVASCRIPT! What I don't like about Android is that I am limited to Java. But I like Java a lot more than Javascript. The iPhone offers I think objective C and maybe c++. It compiles to native code as well. That interests me more than even Java from a programing point of view. I just hope they offer C or C++. Also what about legacy apps? Tell me they are not throwing away all those Palm apps that people love. Those old apps have been the only thing keeping Palm afloat.
It probably is but... What do you do with the drives afterwords? You sure are not going to sell them on ebay. You might as well melt them down and recycle the aluminum. Each of the steps is there to make sure that if one or more of them is skipped the data is still gone. What happens if the overwrite software fails but doesn't give an error? Will that overwrite software overwrite bad/locked out sectors? What if the degausser failed and nobody noticed? What if the media remover missed some? Hey if ACMs with nuclear weapons can be loaded on a B52 by mistake then any mistake can happen. All these steps are safeguards for failure of other steps.
Except the task bar is something you use all the time. So an improvement could have a big impact. I have used Computers for so long that I have no problem moving from Windows to KDE to Gnome to OS/X. None of UI differences really seem to affect me too much. I will give Windows 7 a chance. It may actually be a good OS and a worthy replacement for XP.
Actually I was thinking that you could use the mini screen for an IM client. Add BlueTooth and you could use a headset with it as well. Could also use it for a remote as well or for a VOIP phone.
You never used a C64 with a 1541 drive did you? The old C64 used a serial version of the IEE-488 bus to connect drives and printers. It allowed dasy chaining of one drive to another and usually ended with a printer if you had one.
Humm. Now they need to add a USB hard drive that also has a USB Hub in it so that I can add a second USB hard drive and the a printer:)

They are using OpenMPI with a custom transport over Gig10e hardware. For their switching they have basically gone to a stacked of switching fabrics. It is pretty much a 3D fabric they call a bolt. Of course I am making all of this up but dang it sounds good:)
Hey Apple supports Windows and now that Netbooks are growing maybe Apple will decide it is worth the effort to support ITunes on Linux. I like the applications plus media model that ITunes has. Plus it is a nice resource of Podcasts as well. I can keep hoping Apple will make that leap. After all you don't want college students dumping their IPod for Sanza player now do we?
I somewhat agree but I am shocked just how useful some toys are. I got an iPod Touch for Christmas. I had a nano for a long while but I never really used it. I started to look at some of the PodCasts and iPodU. I am listening to computer sci classes, podcasts on Linux, BSD, RC Aircraft, Aviation, and foreign relations. I also got a Kindle and now I have a lots of books both free and from Amazon. While shiny toys can be just shiny toys they do offer a great opportunity for learning.
"Then again Jobs has always come off as a little elitist to me so maybe he simply doesn't want to convert those unwashed Windows masses to OSX. After all he is already making money hand over fist, perhaps he has decided that he likes OSX right where it is at currently?" That isn't really elitist that is just good business. I just got an iPod Touch for Christmas. Guess what? I really like it. I am a Linux guy at heart but the touch really does work well. I use it all the time now and I really do like it. If I could just get ITunes that runs under Linux I would be really happy. I would love to se a new Mac Cube with a PCIe slot. BTW that is all they really need is one for a video card. That would help swing some gamers over as well. But I think you hit it on the head. They are selling Macs like hot cakes now and making a mint. Why slug it out with Microsoft when they are making great gobs of cash right now? Heck I would love to see an Apple Netbook as well as the Apple mac with a slot but right now Apple doesn't really seem to need them.

They are. That is why you often have to live with your busted parts of go aftermarket.

The VIC-20 was a Commodore and it had a full sized keyboard.
And the 400, 600, 800, 800Xl and on and on where Ataris.
Maybe.. but a Pimp my ride reference doesn't do over one's head, it goes whoosh under one's butt.
So could the Atari. It was pretty common back then. It would be so tempting to put Linux and C128 emulator on one of these :)
