itanium is a solid chip from what I've seen...

Itanium Problems
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I'm part of a team of people working on a largish supercomputer using itanium2. The things are fast fast fast. Much faster than i anticipated. it's special purpose I think, which is why it defies industry logic
It's awesome. I love it. I have a nearly 2 year old hand me down 500Mhz from my boss. I put linux on it first. Linux is fast as hell on it. No question. But then I had problems like playing dvds, getting a kernel that worked the way I wanted it. Yellowdog didn't even get my X right (this was just a few weeks ago when I tried again).
I'm a happy as a clam os x user. It's nice to have everything just work instead of fighting with it all the damn time. I like dicking with systems, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I just want to rip a cd or watch a dvd.
I say go for it. I _love_ my TiBook...the form factor is awesome. Yes, they keyboard kinda blows,, but you get used to it after a while. The one button mouse thing I got over. I do like that it seems that they put everything where I expected it. When I wanted an ñ, I hit option n n...really, i didn't know it before, I just tried hitting option n and got a ~, but selected and up high...I figured if I hit an n again, it would just work. It did. Last night I was zoning out to mp3s watching the visual display full screen. I wanted to move forward a track in my play list. I hit the right arrow instinctually, and it did the right thing.
Dr Hawass bash the lost civilization folks? Rather harshly too. It was almost...well...too harsh. Like he was being defensive or something. I don't know, maybe that's just his personality
Really. I'm glad they are doing this. Glad they are taking some active measures to improve their security. If everyone who has a windows machine actually performs the update, we'll have a safer world of computing:)
If they don't pshaw the other holes that other people find and admit their seriousness now, I'll actually have one less reason to hate them.
When I heard who was gonna be in it, I said two things
1) Scott Bakula will make a crappy captain. He's way too soft 2) I like the keep my porn and my star trek separate, thank you.
Sure enough, I was right. Scott Bakula is not a very good captain, in my opinion. He's getting better, but really, he's pretty soft. Too happy.
As for T'pol, yes, she's hot, but she's been doing an ok job of not making a big sex symbol out of herself. Save for the obligatory near sex scene in the decontamination chamber.
What's really getting me the most the the _grotesque_ opening theme. Good lord. That may be the worst crap I've ever heard.
You got that right! I work at a national lab cuz I've got an oc-3 and good hours, and almost no pager time. And pretty much as much money as I need to play with cool toys.
Peaceful coexistence appears to be Microsoft's new mantra.
Does this remind anyone else of that really bad ST:TNG episode with the parasites that looked like trilobytes? You know, the "Vitamins do wonders for the body" one where the trilobytes try to take over starfleet? "We seek peaceful coexistance"
why are we securing it this way?

I will probably get beaten down for this, but it seems to me that integrating encryption directly into the media is probably not the right approach for this. There _are_ systems that do work rather well. Let's take, for instance, a system like they have in hotels, where you have to log into a web page before you are even routed. Combine this with the simple rule of "never put your wireless net behind your main firewall" and you can sleep a little better at night.
Design a system that has protections beyond something built into the media. The medias function is _not_ to provide security, but rather to communicate.
against inventing a term, and then claiming you are the first to have one. "Ultrapersonal computer". Christ, many peoples computers are already as personal as anyone would want. How many have seen the um...side effects...of viewing porn?
that got described accurately in the software industry. Don't use the.0 version.
The short of it is that it's still a tad beta, and still needs work. It looks gorgeous, but then again, I'm a Gnome user (KDE feels too bubbly to me, and I can't find a theme to trim it. yes I've looked on a couple of sites). it still needs to be tweaked. I'm sure the Ximian guys will have a very solid version in not too long.

there is the disk sharing and audio piping in RDC5 as well..

Evolution shipped with the last version with PGP support IIRC
Anyone have a url for a video card that can drive this? We got some end of the year money....

"For those applications that need to scale, SGI has just proven that Linux need not be synonymous with clutter."
cluster? or clutter? a good cluster is not cluttered
McDonald's has signed a 50 year deal with the government of Denmark for the manufacturing of chicken McNuggets.
yes, It's a joke, I know about modern windmills.

I believe that on most ide burners you need to use the ide-scsi module to get cdrecord to see it. At least that's how it is on all my redhat boxes.
Drop a hdX=ide-scsi into your lilo/grub line.

Good morning. Reread that submission. Talk it out. It doesn't have correct grammar.
Of course, that's like telling him he needs internet explorer to run windows.
A simple google search for "postscript viewer windows" turned up good results.

Actually, nautilus will do _some_ of this, but I don't think it will browse the network. It does do samba though
Ones that I can think of include gnomba and LinNeighborhood
exporting the project to GNU makefile....
:)
several shortcuts and completion style things
debugging spawn processes, connecting to running processes. Almost anything debugging related it appears
dataaware compents such as labels (!), edit boxes, listboxes...
and a lot of other nice features.
No complaints, they are trying to sell it

actually, with outlok you can "forward as iCalendar". Look under the Action menu. It's just not the default (which is sad, really).

um..hmm..guess that saying doesn't apply anymore
