Well I'm not saying anyone who builds a computer actually does it. The bad thing is, people make their parents cancle a Dell order because they can build it cheaper and then they slap a warezed copy of windows on it. A few months later Microsoft has invalidated their Corporate key and they no longer get windows updates. A little after this we have yet another zombie box on the net.
That isn't true at all. Gratned you got the first post, but you did so by completely making something up on a topic on which you have no knowledge. Samsung's packages are what made TCCD chips known for their overclocking abilities. Almost any article you read about it, Samsung's packages are the ones being overclocked.
Listen. This is very important. A 1Mbps cable connection is very common for cable users, a 1MBps connection is not. And it is never sold under that term in consumer broadband. A 1MBps connection would be sold as an 8Mbps connection. Because of these discrepancies I'm going to assume you meant 1Mbps. This would explain you never having a torrent go over 250KBps as your connection couldn't even handle it (1Mbps is 128KBps, exactly what you seem to think his download limit is and what you think torrents magically limit out to... in fact is probably your own download limit). If you have a connection which isn't rediculously assymetrical you can max just about anything out on many, many torrents. If you can upload at even 30KB/s you can max out a 10mbps pipe on anything with a lot of users on it.
Hey your right, since active desktop is commonly used by trojans just like VNC is. Oh wait it isn't. VNC runs on windows 95, active desktop doesn't. Trojans don't use it. You are making the mistake of "but look in theory both programs are the same." Well, in practice they aren't. It is also nice to note that it doesn't mark VNC for deletion immediately, it just flags it as a potential threat, and even goes so far as to explain why it even shows up as potential. But you of course ignore these facts, after all we are bashing Microsoft here. To make your Microsoft bash even better you can conviently ignore the fact that this program used to show VNC--and not remote desktop-- as a potential threat long before Microsoft bought them out.
I think the main thing he was referring to is windows. Most people price out their "Dell Beater" systems without windows. With Dell's $299 desktop they are heavily promoting right now, I doubt you can price it out, include store bought windows, and still come out cheaper.
Yep they want to lower our privacy and simultaneously increase their own. I don't necessarily mind giving up some of my privacy, but the government has a hell of a lot of privacy it is going to have to give up before I am willing to give up mine. Look at some of the crap that gets classified that is not in any way in interest of national security. The FOIA was a big help, but there is a long long way to go.
Ok that is what I was afraid of. You weren't basing it off of the technology mentionedin the article but instead you were just going off on making a completely redundant unit with each chip. " But if the current success rate per total "chip" is 25%, then..." Ok, so then the current error rate would be.75 ..75*.75, wow that's a.5625 error rate, a.1875 reduction at a mere cost of only a 100% increase in die space. What a deal. 18% decrease in error rate in exchange for using twice as much die space per chip. The only way to avoid wasting more silicon with this idea is if you had a chip with a 100% error rate. Then you could make everyone include this redundant version of itself and still wind up with... a 100% error rate.
Well in addition I bet a lot of it was because people had thought processes like "why pay for this when in x amount of time the free alternative will be just as good."
If the main problem is speed, then what the hell good is launching from an extremely slow (relative to orbital speed...) aircraft? Also why is it more expensive to launch into high orbits, those require less orbital speed, more altitude.
Also... if you DoS someone back.. that doesn't stop them from continuing to DoS you. If you DoS them back they just get their download pipe flooded, they can still upload, thus flooding your download pipe.
Why this hasn't been the case: most linux apps don't run solely on linux. FreeBSD for example doesn't support ALSA, neither does solaris, etc. But they all work with OSS. Sidenote, FreeBSD has software virtual sound channels built in and it works quite well.
Ok, so the math in the guy's post you were responding to made no sense. I wasn't really talking about his post. In your post you said adding a "redundant unit," and that is what I was responding to. Adding a redundant unit isn't a 50% increase in wires, it is a 100% increase in everything.
Well I fail to link it to any rational thought or purpose. The only one is that they were paid off or are simply so in bed with the media industry that they let it through.
He was talking about just doubling the size of the chip and saying "throw out half no matter what." Using your numbers yes there is only a 0.000001 error rate now, but now you throw away at least one chip (in die space) with every chip!
I wasn't referring to the story as much as to the parent post. He basically said that the refridgerator generating ic didn't use more power than just a normal refridgerator maintaining its temp. Then he sorta corrected him himself with the caveat that "maybe it uses a little more power when making ice but surely not more than the magic ice air conditioner will cool off."
The amount of heat that this increased load will generate is exactly the amount that the ice will be capable of cooling off. Actually that 'exactly' is wrong, it is even more than the ice will be capable of cooling because of mechanical inefficiencies in the freezer itself.
Wikipedia includes an edit history where you can see all the argument, different viewpoints, etc. on a given topic. Unlike Slashdot where when I'm disagreed with I just modded to troll and my post disappears once the story is archived. No encyclopedias come close to Wikipedia as far as showing the history of an article and the disagreements etc. that led to its current state. And yes, my OP was indeed a troll. I completely made it up and apparently at least made one guy search on google for information about it for 15 minutes.
Ok, lets say I'm talking it up to a friend. They say "I don't want the ps3 cause the nintendo revolution can play all of nintendo's back library." I say "so can the ps3, and you don't have to pay anything, unlike with nintendo. Also it can play divx movies you downloaded from the internet." This might be a little more persuasive than "its Free and open man." Granted Sony is in the movie business so the Divx thing is uncharacteristic for them until you look at the fact that the psp can play user created movies, though not in open codecs.
If one console has it available widely to the general public and another does, whose console do you think the good apps are going to be developed for? If any of the video codecs etc. are optimized for cell, it isn't so easy to convert them over to the xbox. People who now use their modded xbox for media and emulation won't even bother with the xbox, all the development will be going on ps3. People who now use their modded xbox to play pirated games? Sony doesn't want those people.

I guess Sun will stay on good terms with Profanity Blacklist, unlike me.

Do you work for t-space? Christ did I just read a press release?
"Can be scary on occasion though, while doing some terrorist research I saw an ad for "new and used W80 warhead on ebay". I certainly hope not."
Fixed.

You sales may have been low because there was a free alternative.
This isn't TV. You can go back and read Saturday's news on Monday.
Counter example to one of your claims: many many politicians who voted for the Bono Act got reelected.
