Well my A7A is one of the earlier models - I think its like a year old now? It has a 686A and a Promise ATA-100 controller on it.
I don't think its just newer models - I think its just better built boards because my abit KT7 would do the same thing and it was like a year and a half old
I don't get this - I mean my motherboard - ASUS A7A has two options for overheating processors (its a 1200 MHz first generation thunderbird) throttle/shutdown. Last summer when it got really hot it did automatically shut-down under linux once.
This is just as stupid as the old "AMD is incompatible" crap people float around still.
Who cares - after you buy a new A7A-266 DDR board you'll still be priced under the P4-2Ghz... Even if you have to buy a whole load of DDR dimms priced at less then 45$ for 256 megs per module you'll still come under the P4.

Blockbuster Entertainment and Video Ezy, which combined have about 45 per cent of the Australian market, are not party to the action, having separate commercial arrangements with Warner.
Yeah - you know why? Because blockbuster I believe is owned by paramount... - and there all in it together (just look at the plaintiffs in the 2600 case)
Whats funny about CDE is I heard it cost more to develope then MS windows.... Not hard to believe either when you look at how many companies and people developed it.
Whats also funny is it takes like 15 different steps to add a program icon - absolutely miserable. And they want lots of money for it too - CDE for linux (developed by caldera) is like a 250$ program.
of sorts (I majored in history in university) personally I think an artifact like a physical photograph, a positive (slide), or a negative is far more valuable as long as it does exist - consider for a second say if some paiting was made a thousand years ago digitally, and today the equipment didn't exist to display or print this paiting today? Or consider it used some arcane encryption system (like css) that no-one knew how to decode - what would you do? It would be like having a foriegn language with the possibility of not being able to decode it. I'd be willing to bet that 99% of all the photo's and paitings I've looked at in person or in history books were stored in a physical format originally - history books we have today. Of the little original documents we have today how much of this would be availble if it was digital?
CDR's only last a 100 years before they rot, my hard drive in my computer has been repaired twice. How many of you know how to view quantel images (remember the quantel paintbox?), or images from older computers stored in file formats you've never heard of (and yes that computer on your desk in a hundred years will be the equivelent of a C64 or a TRS 80 is now - worse actually).
And then there are electronic texts - luckily I think the library of congress requests 5 copies of each book ever printed - I believe these are physical copies. But just think - could you read an ebook a hundred years from now? Would you know what one was?
On kind of a relavant point - I remember a display at our university library (PSU) and it was entitled something like "a 1000 years of binding books" - there are ways of binding books that are rather good - but have lost their technological edge (or they were too expensive to produce). Computers are the same way - computers 50 years ago are a far cry from what they are today, but how many of us can honestly say we can use pictures or data from those machines right now?
First off your chip would have to catch fire in order for it to damage your motherboard and ram (which is impossible). Second - where are you buying your stuff? 1500$ for a board and chip?
I know the 68060 had this feature - I was unaware the 040 did. In fact I had to buy a fan/heatsink for my A3000 which had a 040 in it because it freqently crashed and did wierd things when it overheated (and it came with a heatsink - just no fan).
You obviously didn't run any of the demos - I could send you a snapshot of my windows machine running the stock rebol view with the demos - there's at least 4~5 games on there.
instant messager looked pretty cool - maybe serious, the skin selector looked pretty cool. There were also some image manipulation demos I saw that looked pretty cool. And the desktop itself looked relatively serious - I've never seen a Java desktop.
I wish slashdot people were so fucking self righteous. Yes I did read the fucking article - my point was - or rather question was along the lines of the original poster - which sounded like they didn't need the DMCA, but used it anyhow.
Sure, but all they had to do was ask him to pull the offending software off the site.
In the past certian modifications to various electronic devices could void the warrenty - I wonder why Sony is doing this since the less warrenties they have to honor the more money they make.
Personally I think sony america is run by a load of bastards - first the PS2 and now this.
This a pretty common misconception - no only is there a realtime linux (rtlinux), but many embedded aplications work just fine on a near real time system - IE something that 99% of the time responds like a realtime computer, but isn't.
Actually I did do us history for many years in school - people were being locked up and harassed long before McCarthy ever came around - in fact its widely believed that most people regarded him as a nut-bar and that most of these people were harassed/locked by laws the US government passed.
http://www.gamespy.com/stats/ - read it and weap boys. There are far more people playing half-life online then Quake 3 - Quake 3 is not the kind of game you'd want to play single player for long so I think this is a good measure.
This does a lot of things my ipaq does - maybe a little smaller, but I really do use my ipaq for mp3 music, keeping appointments, calendar stuff and keeping contacts - as well as a lot of other stuff. I think the only downside is its lack of firewire support, and the disk drive size - I guess you can get a kingston 5 gig hdd now though that will work in it.
e-mail me at skuld@mail.ru and I'll send you some stuff okay? (and I'm serious - I need to get rid of some of this stuff). Let me know exactly what you need and I'll see if we can come half-way (since I may not have everything).
The article nor any of the websites actually say where you can ship stuff - I've got pentiums and pentium 2's, and metal cases, video cards, memory, hard drive and bunches of other stuff I wouldn't mind just giving to ANYONE who asks. But where can I ship it? Whats the address? Whats the recomended method?

That would be 240x320...

There are DVD players that have upgradable flashram - my Apex is one. I suppose you could write a virus to trash a dvd player actually...
Yeah - like it doesn't grow at all - I saw it originally in the early/mid 90's and its still exactly the same smeg.

This didn't work for sun so well :(.
Well I have seen a heat shocked board before - even melted the socket somewhat - but it still worked!
First off your chip would have to catch fire in order for it to damage your motherboard and ram (which is impossible). Second - where are you buying your stuff? 1500$ for a board and chip?
And well all know about people who work in local computer shops :).

But thats not what they said in the slashdot comment - he said it was good because its the most played GAME - not the most played benchmark.
If quake 3 has ended up as a benchmark its truely a sad day for the product.

Yeah - your absolutely right :). Nowdays I wish I was a CS major instead of what I was :( - so much more interesting.
