PCI Express is one peice of the superfast home computer puzzle but where's the solid state drives that made all the headlines from last year? I may have a ATI 9700 Pro but I'm reluctant to upgrade to a AMD 64 system due to uncertain decisions in the market lately.
We have
ATX Redesign ATB? and were seeing new cases
New motherboards will follow that with PCI-X
AMD Possibly giving Intel the smackdown with a long awaited frequency increase (If you dont realize AMD proc's can beat a Intel proc on task basis but not freq based benchmarks.. Match frequencies and you'll blow them out of the water)
Solid State Drives are supposed to pop up here somewhere. Imagine the possibilities!
Of course gaming may force my hand this fall with the new releases of MMORPG's such as WOW since I dont tolerate any lag from my machines in these games unless it's network related. Just hope those Shuttle AMD 64 XPC's come down in price.
Group A: Primarily Christians and other Religious groups. Are against Cloning for the above reasons. Becuase God's against it.
Group B: Us heathens who believe otherwise, those who hope to benefit medically from the research and sadly those who want to make a profit.
So for some reason in America Group A can get laws passed to ban the research. However isnt religious oppression illegal in the US? So why dont the lawyers that represent those companies fight it on grounds of religious oppression?
I've considered setting up a wiki for the Kernel to give people a place to file what they've learned about it and share with the general public. Anyone think this would help anyone?
I already have a customer asking for Perens LLC to provide commercial support for KDE on the UserLinux platform. And we will do so, even though KDE is not the chosen GUI of the UserLinux project. This is an option for any UserLinux service provider.
For some reason it makes sense. In a capitalist way Perens will make money by including KDE into Userlinux. Obviously this customer must be worth some support money if he backtracked this quickly.
However he may have to compete with Novell on this since SuSE is predominately KDE based and if he wants to take from that pool of potentials (Novell customers reluctant to switch distros if that means a new desktop for their users to get acquainted with)
Of course Bruce may or may not have been motivated to create UserLinux if it held no real benefit to him.
Course it's not funny they will just say "The terrorist group "Linux Community" has claimed responsibility for the attacks" and declare us part of the axis of weasel like they did the other day on CNN.
(780 Email accounts few mailing lists.. Qmail+vpopmail+qmailscanner+clamav)
500Kbps more bandwidth being used by the mailserver.. Avg is 12kbps most times..
Were blocking all normal virii attachment.scr.pif.bat.ext but one problem is it's now showing up in zip files dont want to turn on scanning for virii in those becuase of the memory hogging that will ensue and it would force me to serialize scanning of inbound emails but then busy days we'd definately queue up on that end.
I'm about 10 sec from enabling a SPF filter http://sfp.pobox.com to reject anything not specifically listed in the spf list from that site and other spf enabled sites.. this would definately weed out many of the virii that are just flying from user pc's.
After losing 2 bids on a Aircard 555 in the 150 dollar range (Most were 200 dollar buy it now) I decided to search for just Aircard.. I found a gem of a deal for a Aircard 555 (They forgot to put the 555 in the description) I got the card for 130USD..
I'm a happy customer.
Now I can surf the web over the cell network in Linux =)
Is the outsourcing will not quit anytime soon and that american wages continue to lower yet there's no correction in the currency to support americans with lower wages. Just look at the fact that nowdays both parents have to work just to provide a comfortable lifestyle for themselves and their kids.
Greenspan is worried about deflation but does he not know that americans are making less and many are unemployeed so things are really getting more expensive. He's looking at the wrong pricetags here. Gas prices are over a 1.50 is most locations and in most cases are much higher than they were before either gulf war. To top it off the press and oil companies "Claim" the weather, weak dollar and supply shortages are the problem here. When was the last time the press reported on a oil line sabotage in Iraq recently? The oil's flowing but it's not getting cheaper like it was supposed to.
With energy prices rising it's increasingly harder for companies to pass discounts to the consumers. Much so if the govt were to suddenly raise Minimum wage 50 cents it would just cause a inflation of prices to make up with the forced paying of workers more money.
I would like to see something in the nature of a area where all executable commands for any user software get put into.. Many programs today install theirselves into various/usr/usr/share/usr/local it just goes on and on. Reguardless of where the program installs itself I think a top level directory/usr/software where all programs put in a link back to it's working directory and main executable for all programs..
That way all users know that their programs reside in/usr/software and it makes it easier for plugin/mod authors to know where things are.
Either way if this is not feasable then it's time to standardize where things are going.. Windows has it's Program Files which went a long way towards fixing user confustion:) where people now know their programs (With very few exceptions) now end up.
Time to challenge this with the apache mod that handles that has been around for several years. Also you can challenge that this is technically covered in the homepage autoload in web browsers which have been around since text web browser programs have been there.
It's time to write your elected legislature and tell them you're tired of the patents and the system needs a overhaul. The USPTO thinks that they are not responsible for doing any simple research on a patent and that the Judicial system will sort things out. Which just costs American taxpayers money where the patent system is paid for partially by patent fees. Raise the fees so they're in accordance with what the person/corporation makes and maybe the problem will go away.
My fiance is finishing her BSEE this year and it's obvious that she may have to add some more CS courses (She switched to CS becuase she thought EE would be more interesting) now she wonders if it was worth the hassle it has been.
I advised her since we live close to a good gaming college that she should persue game programming which will be near impossible to export to other countries. This is due to the fact that many of those places software jobs are being sent to are culturally incompatible with the games we play.
I mean come on.. Geeks know nobody.. so they pass it to their geek friends who pass it to their geek friends.. They make up these special clubs and languages so they can feel special.
So funny

Seriously it's wood. The man does not use Email or a Cell phone. He lets all his aides handle the techy stuff for him. He's more comfortable with a regular phone and letters. By far the most non tech president I've ever heard of.
Exclusivity = I dont buy them unless it's for the one I own.. I'm not going to bounce around and buy 3 or 4 consoles just to play the latest and greatest games out there.

I would however appreciate limited exclusivity where the game would be ported after a fixed amount of time.
When we get solid state hard drives and if they're reliable and fast as regular ram then ram will be gone and the SSD will take over. So in essence your machine may just allocate itself a huge chunk of the drive as it's own memory space..
Imagine a machine that can grab 16g for it's memory usage and your video card having a huge chunk for itself also. Along with your terrabits of information space if things pan out well enough.
Not only is Price vs Performance very good with AMD AFAIK AMD is not in the habbit of putting out new processors that are crippled vs their predecessors. And while Intel is focused on keeping 32bit processors on their roadmaps AMD is being agressive with moves to 64Bit computing even long term plans show them making less 32 bit processors in the next few years.
And what's up with Intel adopting the format that Alpha used with their processors?? It was always a royal PITA and I've never had any issues with the current system or are there that many id10t's out there that are just not careful with those pins?
the LG 6000 picture phone has full GPS Capabilities and I know people that have hacked it a bit for ringtones and such.. just need interface cables I believe.. USB dongle??

In a Windows enviroment for the most part you're locked into something with really no way improve it due to it's proprietary nature.
However Linux people have choice in what they do with their systems and IF they're locked into something.
Plus capitalism says if windows = more royalties and Linux = no royalties which you go with.
This explains the easy domination of GSM vs CDMA in the cellular markets.
This is doomed to fail..
