Just a side note, Intel has the same clause in their warrantees that "improper installation" can void the warantee, so I guess it isn't just bad AMD, possibly depending on how they interpret "improper installation".

"Do I see 3G applications with a vibrate() call mandatory every couple minutes?"
"OT: I think making a constitutional amendment mandating a balanced budget may be going too far, but make it so that you can't be re-elected as president if you have a budget in the red (or something like that -- though not sure what to do about second-term presidents).."
The EU has a similar claim, no more than 4% GDP per year. There are issues that that kind of blanket rule can make economic stimulationm with a depressed economy harder to accomplish.
IMHO, I think the lines should be crossed as the exception, not as the rule.
PS: Wasn't the economy supposed to be the highest these last few years of the baby boomer retirement thing? If so, I can definitly see the other ball dropping out very quickly.
Let me elaborate on the parents post this way: SARS is only a big deal because it could potentially effect everyone, instead of just poor 3rd world countries who cannot afford the medicines to cure their illnesses. I mean come on, how many people die from influenza every year?
"Microsoft is banking on the thrice-delayed operating system to increase its penetration into the enterprise. But the stolen codes show the difficulty the company faces in protecting its valuable intellectual property and potential sales from thieves."
So, out of all the pirating going on, do you think that even 1% of it is coming from enterprise customers? I seriously doubt it, and I am sure they do as well.
I think its a "scape goat" tactic to justify expected poor returns on their newest sinking flag ship product.
"I suspect a lot of packages meant for rh8 will work on rh9"
I have used more than a few RPM's destined for 8 on 9 already, and the work without a hitch. The only problem I had was needing 1 compat library and the fact that I couldn't get NTFS support until a few days ago, which is totally ok, since it means a different kernel version.
I see like 30 Books published by Microsoft press, does that count? I mean, documentation wise, Microsoft is pushing a hell of a lot harder than Sun did when it comes to books. A friend went to a seminar and every participant who went got a free book just for staying to the end. The Number of books, and the distribution is just an illusion..NET will not be the natural progression for all since the CLR changes the rules of the game. I see some jumping ship over it. Not a hell of a lot, but to start to work with.
With the US "rebuilding the iraqi infrastructure", and effectively stating monopoly rights or the entire country despite their claims, this is another example of unilateral american thinking. I am sorry to be biased about you guys, but time after time you as a people prove me right.
1. As for GSM vs. CDMA, no self respecting idiot would bring a CDMA phone to Europe, so only self serving people would choose CDMA over GSM.
2. GSM may or may not be a better channel today, but GSM is the upgrade path to GPRS and UMTS, not CDMA.
3. Having America as the monopoly, will other providers enter the country, and who soon after the reconstruction? In a fair playing field CDMA would die out very fast in Iraq. Having the US dictate a (wrong, selfserving) decision for CDMA would cause nobody but downturned American companies grief.
"There are many possible reasons for that. Maybe you are running Gnome or KDE, for example. But X11 isn't at fault."
Windows uses more optimized algorithms in sending the data? I know that there are compressed and cached bitmaps used on the client side, I am not sure as to the entire extent of this, but it helps speed up performance.
X11 commands are serialized commands used to render the glyphs and widgets on the screen. The TS equivalent fakes a hardware frame buffer so the actual data being sent has already been processed in the server side. This means that the server side needs to be much heavier in order to interpret the data into a framebuffer, compressed and encrypted. This also means that the end result going over the line is much smaller. The economy of networks is a lot more expensive than those of networks so currently, the Citrix / Microsoft solution carries a lot more steam than the *nix solution.
1. Could they have been hired for being MORE qualified then their American counterparts? The article did stipulate mostly older people were layed off as the suit stipulates. Could it be the younger more eager foreign workers could be better suited than a domestic equivalent.
Few people get jumpy until it's their job on the line.
If in fact Sun did this activity in a dubious manner, then it would still not apply to the second point, since it fired their employees before seeking new hires.
Plus, to assume that Sun prejudiced themselves based on the info given in the article is very weak. I haven't heard of any ppl getting turned down when they were hiring again. Did nobody apply, or what?
And about Sun not hiring back oild employees, hello! They were chosen as being sub-standard employees! Why would you hire them back?
Is toslink or spdif really inefficient enough to throw away and start using firewire? Seems like reinventing the wheel but then again, when did we NOT do that....
I would say Redhat enterprise slightly edges out suse enterprise. Just by looking at the certified releases from 3rd party software companies like Oracle, BEA, etc.. they seem to have Linux support initially targetsed at AS 2.1, then Suse, or if they are really didicated, some of the 'free' releases.
PS: Redhat AS 2.1 source packages are avail for download, so they aren't totally breaking the spirit of the GPL, but try to find binaries...

Nah, they were clearly delusional.
Remember, voting republican is voting billions of dollars into the destruction and occupation of independent nations :-)

GSM->GPRS->EDGE->W-CDMA- CDMA
CDMA->CDMA2000->EV-DV->W
I fail to see the parallel..
There is only one thing to say without moderation:
LOL!
