IRL we have headphones for $40 or the "free" ones that come with the player. or computer speakers, etc.
we have noises all around. at home. in the subway. wherever.
so honestly what does it matter. 160Kb/s aac, 192Kb/s mp3, FLAC, full PCM.
all of the 4 above sound *nearly* equally great in a "test" environment. and while walking down the steet with an mp3 player. it does not matter what of the above formats you use.
my sister just got openoffice right now (saves.doc as default). she is getting along fine, but every 6 months she's telling she will buy office. it's in the mind of people - not in the daily work. she can't tell me any problem she has... just the perception:(
come on the free will is not determined by being aware of decisions. the brain calculates and we do. some lag in between and also the choice in the last moment, does not cancel "free will"... *sigh*
that's why you are anonymous and i'm not -lol. look at my post history. it's not that hard.
i'm just fed with all the "good cause" bullshit NPO use, in fact they usually have a high cash flow and people working for them earn a lot. i'm actually very open to all that. but if intel can provide the cheaper hardware why not make a joint venture?
competition is good. and either one should be buyable by everyone. price should go down by sales and not sponsorship. i hate that an MIT professor tries to sell 2 to the 1st world to send 1 to the 3rd and at the same time they make million dollar contracts with 3rd world governments.
competition is good. period. maybe a joint venture to let intel make the hardware would be also a solution.
I have no problem running linux at home, I reboot every 2 month usually for hardware upgrades...
However the company we worked for bought a SUSE raid pc for us. And the hardware incl. Raid 5 was not stable. I basically won't blame the kernel, but distributions for packaging and vendors for their hardware.
Some kernel modules are of course not too stable. Personally I had problems with software raid once, but somehow it's mostly hardware related in the end. The scheduling and the internals are very stable and reliable.
-- Linux 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 #6 PREEMPT Mon Mar 19 19:54:39 CET 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
I asked dell customer support 4 years ago if I could get it cheaper b/c I don't use windows. They said yes. It was like EUR 80 for xp home. So to be sure ask before you buy. I ended up not buying the notebook. But a friend did it.
Dell has always handled that in a pro customer way. If they just would make windows an option in their webinterface, I don't mind if it's selected, but it should be de-selectable.
Well I think gentoo got better over the years. Maybe the developers have to reorder and have some manifest they stick too when arguments/problems come up.
What got better: - modular X - good integration of gentoo kernel and driver packages -/etc/portage settings - cleaned up USE flags
What got worse: - dropping of packages for just political reasons e.g. xmms and the lie that's technical - complexity - useless dependencies (like not being able to install postfix and ssmtp at the same time)
I don't advocate Linux. I'm using it exclusively, but making advertisements is stupid. Show them Linux in 5 minutes. Show why you use it. Show where it's faster/simpler. And let the person try it for another 5 minutes.
It must feel right. It's not about specs or words.
All the "others" I guess e.g. folding@home, from their FAQ:
Why don't you post the source code? Most of the critical parts of FAH are publicly available. The Tinker and Gromacs source codes can be downloaded and run. Unlike many computer projects, the paramount concern is not functionality, but the scientific integrity, and posting the source code in a way that would allow people to reverse engineer the code to produce bogus scientific results would make the whole project pointless.
Sorry even not stating it, I included SETI in "those", when it started it wasn't open source and I don't tend to look again years later;)
Is nobody concerned anymore that all "those" clients are binary only... I surely won't install such a thing: taking most cpu cycles, sending back and forth over the net and I don't have the source code.
They defend it by saying, hacking would be too easy, but hacking is always easy... To really defend: just distribute the same calculation to more people and take it in conideration if a certain number has the same answer...
Slashdot Mirror
it's worth a try and running a test suite?
flawed cores can be a reason, but production simplicity is more likely...
them to a library which is specialized in that:
a) they can preserve the maps
b) you get a scan back
c) and some credit
you might not realize that even though the maps might be worth something, without proper care they will slowly dissolve.

PLEASE at some point ... just enjoy the music, k?
i'm watching youtube videos in opera quite from the start of the wii ... and it's nearly fullscreen.
my sister just got openoffice right now (saves .doc as default). she is getting along fine, but every 6 months she's telling she will buy office. it's in the mind of people - not in the daily work. she can't tell me any problem she has ... just the perception :(
i'll miss his blog. biotech, computers, physics ... it was slashdot^2 ... to bad he had to close down comments a few years ago due to abuse.
he was thinking ahead of his time. i would like to be that anticipating at that age.
Please use Moose then... http://www.iinteractive.com/moose/
Do you really think Perl did not evolve over the years ... *sigh*
The first 3 pages of a product are price grabbers or some bullshit. Not the company page, no review, nothing.
Google is at it's worst since the beginning :(
Not that I wish it would be like that... there were a lot of ups and downs already.
this might sound stupid: but i just don't keep really sensitive data ...
come on the free will is not determined by being aware of decisions. the brain calculates and we do. some lag in between and also the choice in the last moment, does not cancel "free will"... *sigh*
Well this way you can sell your Wii + games downloaded legally. And if it gets destroyed you can send it in.
There are 2 angles on that...
I don't like both b/c of DRM.
how can one be sure WHO actually votes here?
well if the vodafone life proxy connects always switch to the mobile versions of the site. this is simple. and just change the css if possible.
... is the end of the innocent.
that's why you are anonymous and i'm not -lol. look at my post history. it's not that hard.

yes. there will be a true price. and the governments which are highly corrupt over there, can't sell it at a higher price than this.
please wake up and get real. just because it's a NPO it does not mean it should make no economical sense.
until you can't sell such a computer for less than $50-$70 one should help those people with water supplies etc. and focus on that.
competition is good. and either one should be buyable by everyone. price should go down by sales and not sponsorship. i hate that an MIT professor tries to sell 2 to the 1st world to send 1 to the 3rd and at the same time they make million dollar contracts with 3rd world governments.

After it would work the academic way. It would be spammed to hell.
Who do you trust giving away the right semantics for a page?
Maybe a handful of companies will trust each other. Or google will make them sign something?
Not a WEB I'm part of I guess.

Can be fixed - no panik.

Yeah. But online DRM decryption is not possible that fast - *sigh*
