The big deal is that you don't have to have a bunch of cables running across the stage to a computer to get real time audio effects processing done on your software instruments. You also don't have to have a separate computer. All the interface nicely collected at your fingertips. And yes, a dual opteron will get a significant load once you start to pile up your effects. And regarding the price: A computer is much cheaper than a large rack of effect modules.
I'm sitting in a room lit enirely my incandecent light. I still see red as red, green as green, blue as blue and white as white. At least my brain compensates for the difference in light temperature. This is the same phenomenon as a when light blue clothes are hanged next to a pure white t-shirt, the t-shirt will look slightly red (given no other source of white). I would return my newly bought Canon PowerShot A60 if it would capture the colour of a white sheet of paper in this room to be anything but white.
I really, honestly think that noone at SCO knows or has ever known the exact meaning of the second amendment they are refering to in the correspondance with Novell. Those contracts can be really hairy. I tried to read select parts of what I think was that contract signed by SCO and Novell, but I couldn't figure out what they were trying to say or if it was genuine before I fell asleep after several hours of reading.
So: If I at one point in my life wanted to see one of those "hate-mosques" you are talking about I would not be permitted to se Grand Canyon 35 years later? Now, how weird is that to you? I, for one, won't be visiting the US until this is resolved.
Yes. Several have pointed that out. I know about it. I keep it for two reasons (I did change it for my email signature as some slashdot readers have already noticed): 1) When I wrote it 3 years ago, there was this code in gcc that initialized variables to 0 in some cases (such as when using -O2) 2) I think that people should not take the quality of given code for granted.
I just did the math on my 17" viewsonic TFT. It turns out that my 260 nits (cd/m^2, typical) multiplied by an area of 13.3"*10.6" divided by a typical power use of 33W result with as high efficiency as: 0.71 cd/W And this panel is supposed to be energy efficient (most 17" panels use some 40W).
Same here. My air temp is 3 centigrades warmer than the floor (contact) temp. That sort of temperature difference makes people sweat and get cold feet at the same time. Quite an......interesting feeling.
A half-decent (or better) laptop works great for those non-die-hard gaming purposes. My guess is that it would be cheaper, about as powerhungry (stationary TFTs, optical mice and big speakers/headphones use electricity too), and faster than a portable desktop powered by a transmeta 5900.
It would benefit even more if it had access to the VLIW architecture beneath the code morphing software, but that would probably also mean that Linux would have to do the chores of the long-run code aswell.
With the addition of an industry standard display hinge, keyboard connector for portables and battery design it would be really cool to assemble a beige box laptop.
sorry, I should have phrased that different. It should read: 1809 was the last time swedish troops fought a battle on swedish territory. Bla, bla, bla Ratan, Vannas, Umea and so on.
The JAS39 Gripen is supersonic at all altitudes. Also, they once managed to park one of them on a small island in the capital of Sweden during a flight show in the early 90's. Some call it an accident though. I understand them: the plane got borken.
Last Sweden was in a war was in 1809 with russian troops invading about one third of the country via Finland. Every military action since has just been peace-keeping activities of some kind. The philosofy has been somthing like "Let's have a defense so that nobody would like to attack us." Sensible approach, methinks.
After doing half an hour of research on William Safire because of something I thought was a grammatical error in the parent post I have a strong urge to post a comment even though it was not an error after all.:-)
I just have to comment on all them native english speakers who's writing are somwhat worse than there sped of tpiyng.
This comment of mine is probably filled with grammatical errors, but english is not my native language and it is 4:17 am local time.:-)
xdvi actually isn't that good as an example. It has an expert mode (press x) that hides the GUI. All keyboard shortcuts are used as before. From the manual: q: quit n: next page (synonyms: f, return) space: move down 2/3 of a window-full or to next page if at bottom of page p: previous page (synonyms: b, backspace) g: goto numbered page
Well, I don't think this is much use here. Why not just RTFM? There are lots of 'em there.
So, you get a DNA sample from me and you can say that it really is me. How do you know that it just isn't from a known impostor?
Pardon me for being sceptic. I have my reasons for wanting to see Saddam taken from his throne, so I am eager to see it be The Real Saddam.
I would not jump with joy before serious evidence is put forward that this really is THE Saddam Hussein. The Real Saddam is known to have many impostors for security.
Somehow it seems that people in the southern parts of Sweden (close to Denmark) and in the north-west of Germany (also close to Denmark) have a tendency to share that same speech impediment. It once occured to me that it might be something with the fact that Denmark in its entirety has sprung from the sea floor.
The voltage required to "ignite" a battery could well come from the energy required to push a button. There have been successful experiments with radiotransmitters operating purely on pushbutton power.
Think of a cigarette lighter, that spark could be useful, couldn't it?

Coca Cola or Pepsi? The guaranty might be voided with the wrong beverage. Which one depends on the manufacturers preference.

No I can finally have a Gigaherz processor in my fax machine :-)

You call that hot? I can clearly see that you have not seen that many swedish mathematicians.
The social policy of Debian has a "problem" with invariant sections as described in the gnu free documentation license.

The technology referred to is called dataglyphs
This really makes me wish i knew more about coding theory.
