Funny, I don't recall seeing an amendment guaranteeing you a "right to privacy."
I seem to remember something about unreasonable search (and something else which I can't spell and isn't relevant to this point). Isn't that essentially a right to privacy?
But... It does run off of flash rom, so it is reprogramable. It can't be something terribly too off the wall, SETI has a client for it (it's not like they're open source or somethin')
Well, there's the brag factor. Or with distributed.net, the better-chance-of-winning factor. Or maybe this is just a cheap way to get spare processors, they *are* reprogramable. I'm sure you could do better though.
I don't understand how the Apple market (which can't possibly be more than 8-10% of the PC market can get Adobe products (and they get them FIRST!) and linux/unix can't even get releases that are one lousy version behind.
Could it be that the people who use Adobe products tend to use Macintosh? I'm not saying they all do, but just tend.
Heck, if anyone needs an independant consultant on Mayan mathematics in light of this breakup procedure, let me know! I knew that math history course would come in handy some day
1. I really don't think that Dr. Spertus needs Slashdot karma. I should think that someone with a PhD from MIT would be secure enough that Slashdot karma would not be a signifigant boost to their self-esteem. Somehow I don't think she is going to list her karma in her list of Honors (a very impressive list, by the way)
2. She didn't "give them one url", Slashdot user "fegg" did.
I don't like to respond to trolls like yourself, but I'd hate for anyone to happen apon your post and think it to be true.
I can't seem to find any pricing information. Does anyone know projected prices for these notebooks? Also, forgive my ignorance, but what does Q4 translate into for normal person time?
Well, the folks down here at Drake place blame on the same shoulders. It's not hard to see why given those graphs on netview. I heard some vicious rumors running around about ICN maybe getting some lines through *gasp* a different provider than PSINet. Doesn't it just seem logical that a large provider like ICN should have multiple service lines?
As far as ISU's connection, they also have some service coming in that's not ICN, for instance, Inet2. *That's* bandwith.
Drake has a very similar situation, 2 T1 lines for a few thousand folks. Not only are our lines fairly saturated, but out provider's lines can also get pretty darn soaked. And no, our lines weren't limited before the whole Napster thing. You could tell when the Journalism folks were sucking down their massive RealAudio feeds, but the only real peak time was over the noonhour. So, 2 T1 lines can service that demand, so shelling out the $ (something that's in quite a rarity around here) isn't going to happen.
By spectral analysis, that's how. In this case, the analysis was on radio waves. In essence, they didn't "see" the molecules, they detected them. While the results may not be accurate, I wouldn't call them a hoax.
And yes, I know you're not the real timothy. All you have to do is look at the source of a page you've posted on and you'll see the special character after the 'i'.
"sucked" is an objective term. The point is choice. For the record, it's my opinion that Microsoft brand crackers suck. Them Macintosh, Linux, BSD, and BeOS ones have their own distinctive tastes, each considerably better in most occasions than those *other* ones.
And this thread is way to long and offtopic. If you feel the need to continue it, feel free to e-mail me.
They tied their software into their OS. Netscape ruined themselves by letting MS make a better browser than them.
Myself (and the court) seem to remember this a little different than you. They tied their software into their OS in a way that boosted performance, okay fine. They tied their software into their OS in a way that noone else could compete with, not okay. That's extension of monopoly power. That's illegal.
No, no, facts are something that you can prove. You cannot prove that without Microsoft, PCs wouldn't have taken off, simply because that never happened. You can speculate, sure, but that's open to bias. Evedently massivly open to bias.
Apple will probably (sue them/modify future Imacs so this modification is not possible/otherwise behave in a fashion considered anti-social by the geek culture at large.) Pick one.
Well, if history has its way, none of the above will happen. Powerlogix (and a handfull of other companies) have been making Apple processor upgrades for a rather long time. No sueing, no odd modifications, no underhanded tricks. Is it really odd to think that Apple might actually *want* you to be able to upgrade your computer without buying a new one? Apple offered accelerators like this for quite a while, I'm not entirly sure why they stopped, but they certainly aren't making any moves trying to stop others.
Since the iMac's G3 just sits in a standard ol' ZIF socket, just like any other G3, this upgrade isn't terribly spectacular. The only change over a standard G3 that I can think of it that it's got to be multiplyer locked. The "jumpers" on the iMac that determine bus speed and CPU multipler require soldering to change, so this would be about the only obsticle to jump over. But then again, multiplyer locking is something that's pretty common place amugst other *coughIntelcough* manufactures, so R&D probably wasn't too big of a deal.
In other words, yea, you can upgrade an iMac's processor. It's not like it's soldered on the board or anything.
When you realize that if one of these hits a satelite or (worse) space, shuttle...at the velocity it's going...it would basically tear a hole right through it.
Um. I hate to point this out (well, no I don't), but the whole idea of a satelite hitting another satelite as massive speeds is kinda silly. You see, a satelite's orbit distance is regulated by its speed. If a satelite is going much faster than the other satelites, it will have a much higher orbit. The most common orbit, of course, it geo-syncronous orbit, or the orbit height that keeps the satelite over the same point on Earth at all times. Ever notice that the space shuttles don't do that? At the orbit they're at (most of the time) there really isn't that much junk. That's probably why they use it.
Man, Bungie was the only game developer I actually checked in with to see how their releases were comming. Their titles were always technically stunning and the gameplay was incredible... Their loss will be missed, since Microshaft doesn't have the tendency to just buy a company and let it operate like nothing happened.

Yea, I remember one time when I sent an e-mail to blah@blah.com as a test of a SMTP server... I actually got a reply back a couple of weeks later.
Moral: When using a fake address, at least keep the domain to something you know.
Oh sheesh... It was only until I got to your comment that I realized it didn't say that. Thanks for the heads-up.
Yea, Ars ran it. It's old enough to be #2 in the top row.

A couple of things:

Ah, yet more evedence that smart folk are fat.

Meanwhile the customer gets fscked. Not a good outcome if you ask me (or the law).

Nope. The little heatsink would still pull it off. That's why 500mhz G3s are used in laptops.
PowerPC 750 @ 400, or 500 MHz
That's from the stats sheet. If my memory serves, a PowerPC 750 is a G3.
@*$@. I keep confusing my painted G3 with an iMac. My bad.

It's not like they're Microsoft.
