perhaps power won't be too hard to come by in the future after all, despite out ever-increasing demands..
How about the ever increasing waste? And since this is slashdot: how about the ever increasing waste concerning desktop processors? When will technologies like AMD's Cool & Quiet become standard? I cringe when I think of all the new power hungry P4's that I see popping up at my hospital. The ones in ER registration sitting their ideling 24hrs a day, and for what? To access the UNIX mainframe via Rhumba. That's it.
They make great advances in the laptop arena, but this technology should trickle down to the desktop.
Heavily discounted new laptopts, directly from IBM. Usually 35 bucks for next day air. They set up this site to clear old stock, old as in 3-6 mos.
There's also the IBM Ebay Global financing eBay (seach the eBay stores section) store, they do all refurbs. That's were I got my X22 almost 2 years ago, still runnning without any problems.
Yes, but how do you, or any other person for that matter, know how many Mozilla users are using the User Agent Switching extension, just so they can access that sight that forces them to use IE?
There is a sub-set of hot-rodders who do the same thing. Running lights, spinner rims and chrome are the important thing, not the performance.
And sticking feathers up your butt doesn't make you a chicken.
Slapping a red "R" sticker, a bleu LED exhaust pipe, a "4U2NVUS" vanity plate doesn't make you a "hot rodder", it's makes you seem desperate for attention. Oh, and a rear window "I saw you lookin'" sticker doesn't count either.

One, but only if the lightbulb really wants to change.

I don't see this as an "easter egg"... it's just a plain bug in the design, failing after typical use.
;o)
Going from an Mini iPod to iMime might be a feature and not a bug, ergo: Easter Egg

There are so many 'features' of their Longwait that literally scare the you know what out of people.
It's ok, you can say it. Put you lips together and make like you going to blow a bubble: Poop.

Heh. You said tit.
Anybody know why? Does he --or anybody at IBM-- see a future for PPC64 and Linux as a desktop contender?
This is why I ask.
And with IBM's recent "open" hardware initiative for PowerPC, things are looking tantalizing: Open OS and Open hardware.
It kills me that types like this go home at the end of the day to their families convinced that they're adding to the GDP.
GDP? What ever happened to coming home to your kids and convicing yourself that you are decent human being?
Fuck the GDP.

Sorry. Here's the correct link
Another interesting .
link at the Inquirer
Seems IBM is courting third party mobo makers to make PowerPC boards.
Their emracing linux and opening up their hardware platform. Sound Like
their getting their troops in line for THE desktop battle.
I, for one, would love to be running Debian Linux on a ATX PowerPC board. Of
course, they would have to sell enough of them to get the price down.
Good luck to 'em.
You might just get what you want
Woudn't it be great to be a able to pick up and ASUS or Epox PowerPC motherboard and run it with a Power970FX?
One can dream.
They woudn't know if you were a truly a constituent either way, so I guess it woudn't help for everyone here to email those two knuckleheads.
You want an open source chipset? Here.
How many times have I told a cop "I didn't know that was illegal..." when I got busted. You know what they always told me? "Ignorance is no excuse"
:P
In your case, he should have told you stupidity is not an excuse.

Except that most kids today think that souping up a PC means a window and lights.
I'll stick with my stock (i.e. quiet) box anyday.

Here use this link to be sure. RIAA Radar
You can be sure that the music you purcase doesn't support the RIAA efforts.
From what I understand, most indie labels have no affiliation with the RIAA.
Not much they can do about it.
Is today Slashdot Obituary day?
He's usually very mellow; must be a fluke. :o)
