So 270,000 other people doing the same job as you is insignificant? I don't know man, but if a quarter million people did the same job as me, I'd be in trouble. I'm not against foreigners doing my job, because it makes me do it better.
I've recently made a server for archiving medical images using Redhat 9 with 5 SCSI drives in RAID 5. Works great at a fraction of the price of a vendor solution (ie, $30,000 vs $1,500.) In this case, the vendor was using a Windows NT box yet. Performance suffered big time. The Linux box I use is a 2.4 GHz Celeron with 1GB RAM. The bottleneck is always in the network interface (100 Mbs) so the Celeron is more than adequate. It's been up almost 1 year already with no reboots.
What the fuck are you on man? By your logic, I need a 294 MB card for each photo (336,000,000x7/8)! Umm. take a look at the numbers again and let me know when you clue in. As it's been pointed out several times, 16 Megapixels @ 24 bits/pixel = 38 Mbytes as a raw. RLE encoding would probably get at least another factor of 2 out of that. You think transferring 19 Mb will take 1.5 minutes? Don't think so, dude.
... is that more of it's athletes are finally getting caught with doping. It's been well known for a long time now that US athletes are guilty of doping, but having the ability to not get caught in screening. Now that detection technology is finally catching up, things are changing.
Looks a lot like an OS X or Windows XP screenshot to me. Taking a snap of only the one window does not make it a screenshot. It makes it a window capture.
Does the that Kazaa is only available for Windows imply that Windows is also responsible for this? I mean if they use that fact that a piece of software such as Kazaa exists that COULD be used for coyright infringement, wouldn't it also apply to Microsoft as the fact that it is a necessary precursor to Kazaa?
Stupid argument, yes, but I don't see what is different about it.
I really don't understand this fascination with a space elevator. I mean, I take an elevator every day into work and I don't wet my pants doing it. They're just really not that exciting after the age of 3.
That's what I thought at first too, but the second time I installed it, I did check the media and everything checked out OK. The strange thing was that it always crapped out at different parts, on different CD's.
Still not sure what the problem was, but I did manage to get a working system, although not as complete as I would have liked off the installation. At least now I can install the rest of rpm's manually.
Let me start this post by saying I have been an exclusive Linux user since 1996, back in the old 1.3 days, with Slackware. I have more or less only been a "RedHat Man". It works on my workstations at work, it works at home. Now recently I got a new Athlon 64 and so of course wanted to run 64 bit Linux on it, right? We ran into so many problems with (or so we attributed) Fedora 1 x86_64 that we decided to install Fedora x86 instead. Well, guess what, same problems. Finally we got everything working, but it took a while, and this is by someone who generally knows what he's doing with Linux.
Now, just a few days ago, I was looking to upgrade my RedHat 9 box to Fedora. I decided to try Fedora 2 (it's got to be good, right). Wrong! It took 4 solid hours to get a clean install. It crapped out numerous times when installing specific rpm's (openoffice for one), and then a mesage would come up and say something to the effect of "OpenOffice won't install, so aborting entire installation." So, off you go from scratch again, only to have another problem pop up. No kidding, 4 hours installing Fedora 2 from scratch.
Don't try a custom installation it will crap out. Don't try a typical Home installation, it will crap out. Don't try a typical server installation, it will crap out. And never at the same point.
I am still a diehard Linux user and appreciate all the effort the Fedora community has put into their distro, but man guys, test it out first! It's seriously put me off Fedora 3 in the future.
Yeah, you know what we do in the medical imaging field? We don't scan you when you thinmk you're being scanned. We don't really even have an x-ray tube in the CT scanner. The images we tell you are your's are really some Jamaican guy that was in the factory one day when they were making the scanner.
Oh yeah, and we certainly don't tell you if you're sick. We always say you're healthy even though we know you're going to die soon. Then we all laugh about it and wish you'd die sooner.
Man, in case you haven't realized it, I was being sarcastic. Aren't you glad it's a damn good thing that someone takes their job seriously. Give it a try sometime and take responsibility, dude. One day you're going to need me, and if I find out you've been kicking my boxes around, you might just have something you don't want.
Funny how in the same day, Canadian courts rule that ISP's are not responsible for user content, and American courts decide that they somehow are. Oh how sweet it is to be truly living in the Land of the Free again!
Occasional crashes on the Macs? I don't ever remember using one that didn't suffer from crash syndrome fairly regularly. Siemens had to get rid of them, which of course they did.
The unfortunate thing about most imaging systems is that they are going towards Windows. While GE does have a Linux offering in their CT line (the AW workstation), it is the exception rather than the norm. It would be nice to see much more Unix again, expecially Linux in the field.
That said, I think I would be very receptive to a new OS X based workstation. I've thought about experimenting with them in my own research, but thought the other issues might be more problematic (eg, big endian, etc).
As someone who works in the medical imaging field, I'd have to ask you where are all these Mac's? The only two Macs that I know of are 8 years old and were crappy when new. Of all the medical imaging equipment I know of (CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear), none of it is Mac based anymore. None.

It's not surprising that Canadians are not flocking to pay sites for music. At $.99 USD for each song, an entire CD will often cost more than $20 CAD. Most CD's in Canada are already priced at $12-$16 CAD. Why would we want more expensive, inferior quality music in the form of MP3 or other?

I'm pretty sure the pills are estrogen. Or testosterone. Either way, I'm pretty sure they're for your sweety in the middle.

Maybe it's because you didn't splurge and get the DHCP server. I know my copy of Lunix had problems too before I splurged and bought Linux.
Teenage girls buying a Mini? Those things are $30 grand! I've got to meet those chicks.

Great, another $700 remote control
Yeah, and how many "ex-Canadians" went back again after seeing how messed up the US is? I know one for sure that did, ME.
By the way, you obviously have never been to Canada. It's about as socialist as my ass.

You know ... if you weren't continually hitting reload all the time, some of us might actually get to see the page before it combusts.
Ha ha. That's the best and most appropriate response yet.

"We don't need this stinkin' libc.so file. Sounds gay anyway."
Guess what happened? Well, we were able to get everything working again by reinstalling the OS, but man, we learned our lesson.
Really, I was going to post the same thing. Seems kind of like the way things were supposed to work. Makes you wonder what they were thinking in 1981.
"Hmm, this new VIN thing is good for 30 years."
"Then what'll we do?"
"I don't know, I'll be retired."
"Oh yeah, me too"
"Let them figure it out."
"Yeah, at least we'll get to 2000 OK, let's see those banks and nuclear reactors do that."
