Has anyone got a copy of the bootlegged alternate version of The Matrix in which Neo takes the blue pill, gets out of the hacking scene, and becomes an insurance salesman? Running time is 43 minutes - have not been able to find this anywhere.
This is largely due to the fact that as of late last year, Intel multiprocessing solutions have become cheaper than their AMD counterparts. Intel has reduced lower-end Xeon pricing as faster Xeons have come out. AMD has not done the same with Athlon MP prices. And so Tyan, MSI, Asus et al. are not spending much time thinking about how to keep their Athlon MP motherboard line up to date.
This is just a guess, but it might also have something to do with some bad blood between AMD and manufacturers: the most recent AMD chipset for dual Athlon MP's (760MPX-based) had a bug in the Southbridge that completely disabled on-board USB 1.1 (oops) and it took AMD a while to get a fix into production motherboards. That probably didn't earn them big points.

What are you talking about? Didn't you read the article? This guy has a whole cluster of box at his disposal.
Still, I added the block to that specfic port in the slim chance that an internal box was infected (lord knows how) that it would be a localised problem, not contributing.
Well then I guess I am the Lord.
If you've got no outgoing restriction, all it takes is one bad incoming e-mail and one unscrupulous program execution and then your R&D lab becomes a SYN factory.
If your gut response is, "none of our lab personnel would be so dumb as to run a program like that" then I'd like to remind you that you posted the message I'm replying to.
While your numbers may hold true for the average, it obviously takes less money for the likes of William Shatner or David Hasselhoff to produce an album than U2.
I forgot to mention that the PCI POST Code Master can often be had for less than the $65 retail price quoted on MSD's site. Check out this eBay seller.

In some respects, indie developers can have a better chance as startups, since in theory their overhead is lower. The games industry is a lot like the movie industry, in that the big budget titles, even if they're very popular, can often end up not making a lot of money.
Often times, big budget titles that don't make a lot of money domestically when they're first released, more than make up for this in overseas sales as well as the rental/sell-through market (VHS/DVD).
The question is, what are the analogous revenue streams for games? I think it's going to be rental gaming. To this end, check out Yahoo!'s new game rental service for "second-run" games.
1) They can afford to put time and investment into 'the latest fad', whereas in the OS community the time is better spent elsewhere. (The point isn't phrased very well sorry - read on)
This is a nice way of saying that most open source project contributors do whatever the hell they feel like and ignore the projects and tasks that are boring or otherwise uninteresting, because they can.
It's interesting that Apple, one of the most marketing-driven of computer vendors, still tells you the exact pixel resolution.
Ironic because they were the first ones to do away with the base-2 math and just say "thousands of colors" or "millions of colors" depending on 15/16- or 24-bit modes...... IIRC
My MyHD is in a 1.8GHz P4 HTPC in an equipment closet connected with about 25 feet of Y/Pb/Pr cable to a Toshiba 34HF81 HDTV (1080i). One antenna input is from over-the-air broadcasts (Dallas area), the other from analog cable TV.
What brand component cable? If custom, whose cable/connectors do you use/recommend? Is there noticeable high frequency loss over 25 feet given the increased bandwidth of 1080i?
Dontcha wish they'd stop using those stupid XGA/SXGA/QXGA/whatever acronyms and just tell you how many damn *pixels* the thing does horizontally and vertically...
LOL, IIRC there's actually cogent rationale for some of these acronyms but IANAL so YMMV.
I would love manufacturers to start taking this issue more seriously. Choice of fans is important, but also the hard drives as well. Apple fans can look smug here I think - Apple do take this stuff seriously. The PC world? Not so much, and it's a real shame.
They may take acoustic issues more seriously, but at the expensive of overheating issues. Be sure not to leave papers on top of your G4 Cube's chimney.
But the books that are on my desk day in and day out are the ones with funny little animals on the covers, and nearly everything I need to know between the covers.
You obviously have an advance copy of O'Reilly's Sex in a Nutshell (the one with rabbits on the front).
It is forcing persistant connections rather than requesting them the HTTP/1.1 way! This means that these servers are stuck with tons of open Sockets causing it to refuse new ones!
Last time I checked, most web servers could reject persistent connections.
Speaks pretty poorly of the server (or network architecture) if your only recourse is to say "it's the client's fault!"
The average web browser's "back" feature is almost the only software feature in existence that is universally understood, and works as advertised
This ceases to be true once you throw cache-controlling headers (which force a refresh on many browsers) into the mix. For example, on banking sites (and other sites that want transactional semantics), the Back button will often force a reload if your browser honors "Pragma: no-cache" or "Cache-control" headers.
Also, as a previous poster pointed out, the back button also works unintuitively (compared to, say, the standard edit menu Undo function) when you browse to a new page from a page to which you've clicked back (works more like a tree than a chain in that case).
AOL teamed up with Inktomi [com.com] in early 2000 to go head-to-head vs. Akamai [com.com] in the content distribution business. So this might be a bit more than just search engine stuff.
By all accounts, Inktomi's content distribution business is in run-off.
Possible consequences of intensive consumption of datareduced audio material could therefore include ear noises (tinitus), a general degradation of the perception of quiet sounds, as well as a worsened timbre perception (a so-called "tin ear"), which would make the human of the cyberage even more insensitive than he already yet has become by the continuous mass media infotrash bombardment he is exposed to.
So it must be the author's contention that glaring irony doesn't compress well and so intensive consumption of his infotrash is juuuuust fine.

I have had good experience with the POST Code Master.
A nice touch is that the card will monitor voltage rails and test its own LED segments.
I also had the opportunity to meet the developer of the card - a nice guy.
