when is AMD going to get serious into the notebook market??
EVERYONE in the business world lately is salivating over more and more portability--and with that, I cannot help but notice that the leading notebook manufacturers are all sporting pentium III's. I am personally in the notebook market for myself right now, and while I would like something with pIII power, I simply cannot afford more than a celeron 466. lets just say I would do backflips if I could get an athlon in a notebook!
i do know that olympus has enough ram to take quite a few pictures in burst without having to touch the flash card, so im assuming they have at least 8 MB ram. wonder about the kodaks. i got on their site, but the spec sheets don't really go into that kind of detail:(
does anyone know what kind of processor is hiding inside the newer olympus (c2000 and c2500) ??
these cameras are what i believe to be the most advanced in the amateur market as far as memory and screen size (64 MB memory and 1.8 inch, 122,000 pixel display)
Ive been wanting one of these puppies anyhow, all the more reason to get one if i can play games in between snapping pictures:)
i started running linux during the early 1.2.x kernel, and let me tell you, even the redhat install was pretty bumpy!! things failed (my first install failed to install the/dev/hda bootloader). but STILL, i managed to get it done in a couple days and have a fully working system (and this is considering i had never installed windows, and i had basically NO unix experience!!!)
so why all the whining about current-day installs?? what the hell is so difficult about them?? i get the feeling that some really brain-dead people are trying to use linux these days (in which case...let them stick with OEM-installed winblows for all i care).
its just my opinion, but UNIX has never been a place for the brain-dead...and i'm kinda hoping it stays that way.
the logical volume manager built into AIX is very slick!! it has supported native striping and mirroring since AIX 4.1 without buying costly OS add-ons. Veritas, while not free, is also very slick (seems to borrow a lot of terminology and concepts from AIX lvm) and is also fairly easy to use--even has a nice GUI with colors for all the braindead NT admin-types.
ironically enough, however, the CLI for AIX lvm is much more intuitive than the GUI for Veritas (IMHO)
think about this-- how many people absolutely hate having to babysit an install...answer questions...disk copy...answer more questions.
put in the kickstart, sit back and relax while IT DOES IT ALL FOR YOU:)
not to mention that the redhat install questions haven't really changed all that much in the past few years. this makes it nice for using the same kickstart config file for installing newer versions of redhat!
that the guy who wrote the Melissa Virus (and the guy who wrote the Chernobyl Virus...etc, etc, etc ad infinitum) is burned at the stake, and every government agency is telling the public how the Melissa virus author (who only exploited yet another security hole in MS shitware) is going to get 10 years in federal prison and like 2 zillion dollars in fines..etc,
meanwhile, sir jerkoff can freely write, release, and boast his backshit 5000 and is somehow viewed as the saint of security...saving the public from hidden MS holes and bugs!!!
dont get me wrong, i dont happen to see any problem with EITHER of these guys...but it pisses me off to no end when our lame-shit big brotherment treats twin-cases like black and white.
bah!!

Ive been a UNIX Admin for 5 years, and not ONCE have I ever had a unix workstation to work in front of...its always ssh or exceed into the box over the network.
so either you are really lucky and your company buys the unix admins all workstations, or you havent really joined the real world where the only unix boxes are in the datacenters.
there are quite a few people in here who have it right when they mention that switching boxes et al cannot help you when you are 3000 miles away from the box that just crashed.
a console server does just that....serves up consoles for multiple boxes over LAN's and WAN's.
monitor and keyboard share boxes are fine when you have all of your boxes in the same room (and when you only have like 10 of them). but when you walk into our data center and see a hundreds of 6-foot-tall IBM and Sun boxes, you quickly realize that switch boxes are no longer an option.
I have written a perl script which interfaces to some command line tools and outputs to a file which can be either directly read or browsed over the network. it was not very hard to do, and i would love to post it, but it is unfortunately covered under my IP agreement:(
if you know perl, just use its extensive regular expression matching with common monitoring tools....couple this all together and have it output to files, and BINGO!
my question of the year: why couldn't they find a decent child actor to play Anikin and not use that kid from "Jingle all the way". the kid is cute in a certain sense, but I wanted to puke every time he pulled the same exact poses and nuances as he did in the last big movie he was in.
with all the gifted young actors, they just HAD to stick with a tried and true "cute kid":P why didnt they just cast that brat from jerry maguire????

how about loading NT on it... abuse enough? *grin*
they *did* say that they were preparing for a sale in Europe ;)
i would love to see a dalmation AIBO :)
good point.

most newer digital cameras take 64 MB mem cards :)
more than enough to handle retrogames =D
it is cool, but you didnt get first post, and the Ufies are loathing you for stooping so low.
*grin*
any university with a good chemistry department should be able to hook you up with this also :)
i used to have lots of fun with liquid N2!!
not too long ago, rootshell.com was cracked. even with the most skilled admins, there's always someone better.
patch clusters are free... maybe try sunsolve.com??

im glad im not the only one who will reinstall just because i made a mistake or did something in the wrong order.
but then, im about the only person i know who has never had weird problems with my windoze box.
to be anal is sometimes a blessing!

did anyone every port logo to linux??
:)
that was a pretty neat program
"[nontechnical computer users]"...
maybe he called em Lusers *grin*

ummm, no. its a freely available tool, or maybe im hallucinating when i run monitor on solaris and irix.
my only uncertainty was whether or not there was a linux port....not whether i knew what monitor was....
I have written a perl script which interfaces to some command line tools and outputs to a file which can be either directly read or browsed over the network. it was not very hard to do, and i would love to post it, but it is unfortunately covered under my IP agreement :(

:) hope this helps
I thought 'monitor' was freely available for most *nix platforms!?!?
Is this not true?

my two cents
it better have nightshot...
:P
and a digital 8 vid cam...
and better fetch my paper...
and quite a few other things
come on!! $2000+ for a fscking robotic dog???
