The newer K7s (Thunderbird/Spitfire) will not be Slot A, they'll be Socket A. Perhaps motherboard manufacturers will find it easier to design AT-style Socket A boards (but don't bet on it.)
Are there even any Socket 370 or Slot 1 (or 2) AT-style boards?

Which, at the current exchange rate, is about $16-17 US, but I still never bought a CD when I was there.
(MP3 would be a lot less popular if companies would sell me the records I want. Is it really illegal if there's no other *convenient* way to get the music?)

Lost about a pint of blood after slicing myself up on the heatsink for my brand spankin' new Athlon 750. (Is it a law in Taiwan that PC products must be sharpened?) The price we pay for a 2:57 kernel compile...

Ever run it? Every freaking search is broadcast to every client. How wack is that? I ran it, came back when I had a good 20 or so server connects, and my poor ethernet was -pegged solid- at 100%. If universities banned Napster because of bandwidth considerations (hah), imagine what will happen if Gnutella becomes popular.

The screen -- gah! How could you use a monitor that small? Doesn't matter how fast it goes, it'd be like watching your desktop through backwards binoculars...
Maybe I'm just spoiled by my 21" Sony, but I can fit almost 9 of those 640x480 desktops on my screen at once...

Given the way the legislature acts here (getting drunk instead of making laws), and given the absolutely inept mismanagement of public funds (see the URL in my user info), it's an complete bloody fucking wonder that this state hasn't collapsed under its own inebriated weight by now. Adding a few million pounds of CRTs will only expedite the process.

I agree with you on the blatant Microsoft bashing that goes on here (par for the course really), but to maintain that one language is easier to maintain or read than any other is just plain wrong. I can write lousy code in Perl just as easily as I can in Visual Basic, C, Java, FORTRAN, or any of the myriad other computer programming languages out there. To claim otherwise is ignorant. The code is only as good as the programmer who wrote it, but has little to do with the language it's written in. - A.P. --

Why not use a relatively recent technology -- burn two copies of whatever data you need to CD or CD-RW. The chances of both CDs becoming corrupted is much less than that of a single one doing so, and certainly much, much less than that of a floppy.
The only thing floppies should be used for nowadays is propping up wobbly tables.

They're like 400 bucks now for a 200 MHz R4400. Not exceptionally fast, but it'll run the latest IRIX release (6.5.5? That's the last I remember SGI sending me anyway) at a reasonable speed.
The granite mouse goes well with the granite keyboard and monitor, too. . .

But I just picked up a Microsoft Intelli-Eye mouse. Smoothest damned thing I've ever used, and it works on everything. I don't have to worry if my mouse surface is perfectly flat anymore, and the stupid little wheel works in X. Haven't been able to get the two side buttons to work yet, but that's probably because I'm using XFree 3.3.5 and not 4.0 (I'm sticking with what works, for now.)
Anyway, it kicks the crap out of my old mice, but, at $65, you might not think it's worth the price.

Last I heard, AMD supplied a full 40% of the CPU market.
AMD currently rivals Intel in marketshare in the notebook PC market, and is currently closer to 20 percent industry-wide, nearly double what you claim they're at and nearly quadruple what they were a short two years ago.
Please get your facts, and then get them straight, before posting.

The plan was for the.com,.net, and.org gTLD servers, not the root servers. Same thought pattern holds, though.

And I won't be surprised when these fail to capture much of Palm's marketshare either. Windows simply does not translate well to a handheld environment. It may work passably well on the desktop, but -- and I'm not the first or the most influential person to say this -- the Windows look and feel falters on devices that are this small. Windows CE is still trying to be all things for all devices (cell phones, set-top boxes, and now these things -- can't fool me, it's still CE.) The Palm OS design, on the other hand, was built specifically for Palm-sized computers and the design simply _works better_.
So it can play MP3s. Show me something nowadays that _can't_.
