Yeah, South Denver or Colorado Springs. God forbid he go to Fort Collins, the original home of the easy access concealed weapons permits.
Gun issues aside, I'm pretty happy with Owens. Finally someone had put money into upgrades some of the interstates around here. Yeah, its 15 years late but he can't be blamed for the bozos we had before.
Your general statements are pretty far off the mark.
The "hardware guys" have been pushing MS for years. The problem is getting the necessary support for many new devices into windows. Take, for example, 1394. It seemed to take MS forever to get this implemented.
If you compare in innovations that have come out in hardware in the last 10 years and then compare windows to windows 10 years ago I think this point is obvious. The hardware has adapted and changed tremendously while the MS OS hasn't changed much.

High Density CDs

This is will be great for backups...
Last time I looked DVD +/-RW media is still expensive. Shopping around I can find CDRs for free after rebate. Using a drive like this would reduce by half the number of CDs I need to backup my data. Sounds like a win to me.
Once media prices drop for DRV +/- RW this won't be an issue.
Your argument seems to be that the majority shouldn't be allowed free speach because the minority might not be heard. Doesn't seem to logical to me.
If the majority believe an action/bill/... is good then they have the right, and should, speak up. Everyone has a right to state their opinion but there isn't anything saying they shouldn't be ostracized for it.
"the transmission line it creates a magnetic field perpendicular to the wire"
The electric field from a charge will be perpendicular to the charge. The magnetic field follows the old "right-hand rule" and circles the current. This would still imply that the field is going throught the frame of the bike but....
These interfaces are much simplier and are a good base for moving forward. While your not likely to use them the concepts are the same AND if you go into a lab you have a reasonable chance to use one of the older interfaces.
That said a brief discussion of newer interfaces towards the end of the class is probably relevant.
I know when I was in college we studied the PDP-11 architecture. Well, I've never done anything on a PDP-11 and except for hobbiests I doubt you could find one BUT I do have a solid understanding of concepts that started with that class.
If I can't get a response to a question after and voice mail and email it goes to the boss. Its not my job to deal with an unresponsive employee. I have a job to get done.
An contrary to what you say the response rate on emails that include ones boss goes WAY up.
Your missing one metric which my company has found to be the most important!
QUALITY!
Because of the reduced price and increased performance of our DELL XEON boxes we are able to run more simulations on our circuits. This allows us to check a greater range of operating conditions thus improving the overall quality of our product.
I wonder what side of the aisle your on? Are you a sys admin or an end user?
Like the author of this email I work at a larger semiconductor company. We are in the middle of switching from Sun to Linux. The price/performance difference is huge. There is more than a 10X difference in price between a DELL box and slower Sun machine.
We have been up on Linux for over a year and so far haven't had many issues. Ok, well we have one issue.
I work for a integrated circuits manufacturing company.
Our solution for remote connection is two fold. First we contract with AT&T to allow remote dial up from a number of locations. This is free for the employee (except for the required phone line of course).
VPN is also an offered as an option but there is no official policy on who pays for the employees connection. This is a smart policy IMHO. It usually requires the employee to prove they will do useful work at home before the company signs up to pay for a broadband connection.
We have also done significant testing on a dual processor box. If, on the two processor box, we ran 4 processes and compared to 4 without HT then things got a nice performance boost. If we only ran two or three then performance went down.
The problem is the kernal doesn't know what is a real processor and what isn't. When you look at the 2 process comparison we often saw both processes running on the same box. I've heard that a patch is on the way to fix the scheduler so this doesn't happen.
The environment in the late 90s that created the increase quota's is gone. The new reality is that qualified American workers are having trouble finding jobs. I personally know a dozen or so highly qualified people who can not find work.
In this environment the number of H1Bs allowed should drop drastically. The number should really be tied to the unemployement rate of the affected industry. The definition of industry also needs to be regulated. If you want to bring someone in today all you do is make a position description so narrow that only the foreign national you want to bring in can meet the requirement.
"Wild. How many of our daily problems are caused by these little rna splicing machines we call viruses?"
The funny thing is they have also been instrumental in our evolution. I recall reading an article about how many virus fragments are in human DNA. It was very interesting. But the long and short of it is many useful mutations have been caused by the critters.
Some slashdotter finds an article that justifies his hobby and then we get 500 comments saying "look, I played games and I'm not screwed up."
The real question is "How many of the people trying to justify violent games actually have kids?" I know I'll be keeping my son from these types of games until High School. When he gets older and can actually get a girl friend because he knows how to relate to people he'll thank me.
The question that comes to mind is "Why the hell is the process so complicated?"
Simple answer: Too many scum sucking lawyers involved in the process. How many times do we have to see this cycle. Lawyers create a system where by only lawyers can operate.
The patents from Edison I have seen are a bit more concrete. Are you saying the patent for a lightbulb is the same as patenting an auction?
The lightbulb allowed humanity to work and see at times when it wasn't feasible previously. The patent for the auction allows one person to get wealthy. Patents were meant designed so that ideas were contributed to society. The auction patent has added nothing.

Most people in a corporate environment will use remote windows.
haha, you must have been running a 486 then.

Ahhh, if I recall Nvidia bought 3DFX's assests after the company died. This is 100% different.
3DFX made stupid moves, went belly up, and then had its technology bought.
Linksys has good market share in the consumer market and is doing well.
I read an article on this somewhere.
Basically companies write job requirements that are so specific that they can eliminate anyone but the person they want to import.

Blah Blah Blah
At this stage the spec is close to complete. The odds of these cards not being firmware upgradeable to the final spec are pretty slim.
Yeah, and people are actually moderating this one up....

Duh, you can now run a system with an optimized nvidia graphics card. Sounds like a success to me.

Ahhh, the old cigarette smokers argument.
I've smoked cigarettes for 70 years and I never got cancer...
When will this end....

What a sad story.
What exactly does it have to do with the topic?
