The company your are looking for is Tyan. http://www.tyan.com/ Their workstation and server boards are some of the most reliable around, i.e., for people in the know. You don't hear much about them from "mainstream" review sites because the boards lack l33t OC'ing features and super cool LED lit fans. Take a look at their workstation boards, they make a great desktop board alternative. Available for AMD and Intel CPU's.
I have had zero issues with any series of boards I have used from them, and all of them with Linux no less.
The 318 and 320 series BMW's has 1.8L and 2.0L liter engines respectively. 3 stood for 3 series, and the engine sizes followed. BMW 328 has a 2.8L engine. Quite simple if you ask me, and a hell of a lot easier to understand than CPU and graphic card specs.
Why bother with this crap? Just get an Intel GMA X3000 integrated motherboard and save time, power, money and hassle due to Intel "getting it" and releasing Open Source drivers and full specs. (You'll probably also be able to benefit from their free wireless drivers.
I agree. I just wish that little Intel GMA X3000 chip was available on a separate PCI-Express card. My Athlon socket 939 motherboard suites me just fine for my computing needs. Would be a shame to have to buy a new motherboard, CPU, ram (DDR2 vs DDR), just to get free drivers for video. I know Intel has plans for some type of discreet video cards, but no has from their camp has stated that these cards will be supported as freely as their current offerings.
Murdock: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has Linux opertaing systems. And those operating systems have to be guarded by men with compilers. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. McBride? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for BSD and you curse Red Hat. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that BSD's death, while tragic, probably saved desktops. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves desktops. You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at LAN parties, you want me on that kernel list. You need me on that weekly Debian update. We use words like l33t, code, haxor...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a Slashdot punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very apt-get I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a orphaned package and stand a console. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
LPBN: Did you order the Debian swirl red?
Murdock: (quietly) I did the GNU OS you sent me to do.
LPBN: Did you order that Debian swirley thing to be red?
I myself love the fact that current video chip sets from Intel have free open source drivers (Yay for Google Earth on my Thinkpad x40!), but there is no mention anywhere that their next generation of discrete video chip sets will have open source drivers.
I still lament the fact that I can't get any of their current generation of video chips on a discrete card; could finally get rid of my Nvidia card without having to give up my Socket 939 motherboard and CPU.
I still have more faith in the Open Graphics project. Sounds just about perfect for my desktop Linux needs: Google Earth and the occasional Enenmy Territory/True Combat Elite.
If this seems unrealistic, just go to a Starbucks and order black coffee or straight espresso. The looks the employees and other customers give you are priceless. They became a nationally known name by selling frapachinos, not coffee.
Do you even drink coffee there, or anywhere else for that matter? When you order just coffee, it's always given to the customer black! Then you fix it up just the way you want at the milk and sugar station.
What looks? From what customers and what employees? Half the people on line at any Starbucks I visit during the day are ordering just coffee.
I'd like to know if anyone is using this on a mainstream desktop motherbaord. Most of the supported boards listed are of the industrial server variety; I can understand why. Instant on Linux, on the desktop is something that I have been craving for quite some time.
Why would surgeons (or assistants) think it's okay to leave a foreign object lying on top of an organ or tissue in the first place?
After reading your comment, I am 100% sure you have never seen the inside of anyone's chest cavity --or even have a basic first aid card for that matter--to understand the complexity of surgery and comprehend the problem. It's not a simple matter of all "foreign objects lying on top of an organ". Many surgeries run into multi-hour sessions where many surgical tools are used in a not so 2D human being. This is not counting the multitude of gauze, latex tubing, sutures, etc.
Ohh whan that happens I always pop in my DVD copy of Real Genius and fast forward to the part where Mitch finds Lazlo's secret computer lair. The MIT scfreensaver on his UNIX box, the dot-matrix printer dotting away, the home made automated contest winner.
I was born in 1975 in Manhattan and raised in Greenwich, CT. I left home at the early age of 14 and moved to NY. I lived in Brooklyn, Queens, Switzerland, England, and Israel...though not in that particular order. At the age of 19-20 I moved to Battery Park City in Manhattan and started working in Wall St. I lived there for the next 7 years designing the market data and trading technologies for places like CIBC Oppenheimer, Bankers Trust, and on the floor of the American Stock Exchange.
After surviving 9-11, I wandered about a bit trying to find myself. On Jan 25th of this year, I moved to Miami, FL. I still go back to NYC about twice a month for business and to visit friends.
Questions and Answers:
Question: Why do you have this website? Are you a narcissist?
Answer: Yes, I am actually. Also, a lot of my friends always want copies of the pics I take. This website makes it easy for them to grab them.
Question: What do you do for a living? Are you working now?
Answer: Well, for the last decade I have worked in Wall St designing and supporting technology on trading floors. As of right now, I am co starting a technology consulting firm.
Question: What's with all these girls? Did you date all of them?
Answer: Get your mind out of the gutter. I am a friendly guy and was able to meet a lot of great people. I will not respond to people who ask me who I dated and who I haven't. That's between me and the girls.
Question: Why do you have a whole section dedicated to parties?
Answer: In the past, I was a party boy. I would go club hopping all weekend, as well as throwing my own parties. I would go from renting the penthouse to renting the entire top floor of a hotel in Manhattan. These pics are just the ones where I actually had 2-3 min to take pictures.
Question: Are you dating anyone now?
Answer: Why? You interested?
Question: What's with the donation page?
Answer: Camera's, web hosting, parties, etc don't come cheap. I have no shame in my game and am willing to accept any and all offers. I have had people in the past donate for parties. Well, now you too can have that honor and privilege.
Question: Can I meet any of these girls?
Answer: What do I look like? A cyber pimp? Well, if you think you're all that, post a comment under the girl of your dream's picture with your e-mail address and sit by your PC and wait. You might just get lucky.
Question: What's with the private section? Can I get in there?
Answer: Wow. You make no donations, yet you want to see my private pics. Contact me and we'll see.
Question: I can't think of any more questions right now. Can I e-mail or IM you?
Answer: Sure. Go to the "contact" page on the top menu. I always respond back.
That was true... They changed to the blue laser during early talks to try and merge the formats, and Blu-Ray added a red laser for DVD backwards compatability. So now both formats use a blue and a red laser.
That's nice and all. But did anybody bother to consult with the sharks about this???
As a New York City Paramedic, I agree. Here in New York State, we are never alowed to exceed the speed limit, no matter what the scenario. We are (same goes for FDNY) not even allowed to take red lights. Only the NYPD can do that.
The sick person being transported to the hospital is already sick, there is no exuse to jeopardize the public after the fact. The same holds true for responding to calls.
There have been quite a few case lately were EMTs or Paramedics have received jail time for their reckeless driving.
That's not a water purifier, it's only a filter. Probably good enough for backcountry water, but it won't filter out bacteria or viruses (like Hep A and Hep C).
If you want to be able to purify water that's come in to contact with corpses best look here.
It's the only portable purifier approved by the EPA to remove bacteria and viruses with using iodine or other chemicals; not that using iodine is a bad thing, but the wait time can be more tha several hours for water that is cooler than room temperature.
You mean one of these? The only EPA approved portable water purifier (big difference between a water filter and a water purifier) that needs no added chemicals to kill bateria or viruses.
They are available at your local Eastern Mountain Sports for about 80 bucks. Not only can it tun the most putrid water in to clean potable water, but if the pump breaks you can use it as a gravity feed purifier with the included stuff sack.
While your at EMS, get yourself on of these for another 80 bucks. Will urn just about any fuel you could throw at it. Keep some dehydrated or freeze dried foods on hand, and you could probably survive for months.
I use both for backpacking, but they would make any home emergency kit complete.

Last I checked, the only difference between the two was the license and a couple of new drivers. Certainly nothing to explain a "much faster" performance. Perhaps you could explain to us in a little more detail, how your's is "much faster"? Does it have anything to do with the fact that you are using it on a newer and more powerful machine?
Bubba: Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich, shrimp bandages... That- that's about it.
