Yeah, that's kind of my feeling. It's nice that it's working, but it looks like it still isn't quite there yet. Until I hear some better things about 64-bit performance in GNU/Linux with the Opteron, I'm going to stick with my athlon for now.
It'd be nice if some more practical benchmarks were posted, though, like I/O, database performance/stability, positive effects of the new memory access, etc, instead of, or at least in addition to telling us how well KDE works.
I thought that the manufacture of diamonds was set, and only needed to step up its production. Gemesis has been making, for less than $100, gems that would be worth hundreds of thousands if naturally mined.
The most promising thing about these diamonds is that, being cheap, they open the door for cpu cooling. Diamonds are tolerant of exponentially higher temperatures than silicon, so why aren't we hearing about intel, amd, motorola, ibm, TI, and sgi taking advantage of this new technology.
Metal? What about metal is unprecedented? What about it has kept us from using it before? Diamonds are the future, not metal.
Um, I'd like to see the shell script that runs on networking equipment that determines which packets are copyrighted, which are legitimate, and which are porn.
LiteStep, GeoShell, bb4win, and countless others are available as shell replacements for windows. I have been using LiteStep for about 5 years, and it even made win98 look stable. Very fast, very configurable, modular, and much prettier than the plain default explorer startmenu.
I think a zealous group of vigilantes will emerge, and make a killing on hunting down and exposing spammers, for a while, until the spam actually calms down.
In one of the most recently settled tobacco company CA suits, the lawyers fees alone were in the billions. Class action lawyers are working in the honeypot of litigative law.
I regged my first domain with them, when I didn't know any better, and quickly moved it to addresscreation when I saw the alternatives. Are there any advantages to paying the premium registration charge for rdc?
Some might say Hammurabi or Nebuchadnezzar, but it's not certain that either of them ever actually went to Ur, even though Babylon often claimed lordship over Ur, Nineveh, and many other Mesopatamian cities.
Why is having it in Kentucky a big deal? It seems to make pretty good sense to me. It's centrally located, for pretty easy access from the Eastern US and the Midwest, and I have heard that Louisville has a pretty fun nightlife.
Having worked as a sysadmin in a couple of environments, I have constantly said to myself, "I wish I could run my preferred distro here." When Linux has even been mentioned, the discussion has never gotten any further than Redhat.
This group hopes, and has my blessing, to challange Redhat in the business arena with Gentoo. Go Zynot!
Um.. private trial lawyers still take part in criminal proceedings, on the defense. Also, the last time I looked into it, they charge for their services.
Look, folks, it's an energy source that isn't even being used yet. I would find it quite amazing if an energy source could, right off the bat, be perfectlyefficient, and not be the least bit wasteful.
As far as I can see, the problems are technological, and can be overcome.
I think what the poster said about it being a bonanza for lawyers was an understatement. This, if it pans out, will create a whole new basis for practice for many lawyers.
This will, once again, make federal law enforcement agencies the sole arbiters of who is good and bad. I see no reason why they need to conduct investigation of something as mundane as mass email, secretly. SPAM is an annoyance, that wastes time and bandwidth, and unfortunately, a lot of it is legitimate.
It would be very nice to see some more space activity conducted in the private sector. They tend to get things done a little more effectively than the feds.
I don't think it's important what the "things" are. He is just making a point that if you're all by yourself, working for a living, boredom and loneliness settle in more easily.
I personally don't think I could ever work consistently from home. I need human interaction. A more pressing concern, however, is that the boredom will drive you(or me, at least) to stop working more often than it would at work.
That's one nice thing about work. You are there with a purpose. Working from home, to me, would be like wandering around a mall, in my eighties.

An excellent beer to namesake your chip with, though. Smooth, reliable, and makes you dizzy.

...diamonds?

meh, make that "vested," and make me proofread hasty posts.
Among many other well-monied companies, HP and Oracle both have a bested interest in Linux. Expect to see them get active.

ShellFront and Desktopian are great places to start.

Good move, CA.

Sorry. Just lashing out at people who type like morons. Don't mind me.

He didn't mention one. Timothy did.
I said alternatives to proprietary software. Everything you named is proprietary.
...in brinance a command-line driven ledger app. I like it. Have a look.
I personally like the idea of having alternatives to proprietary software.

Funny thing is, it still won't end spam.

I see nothing but trouble from this witch hunt.

Drax had a point.
