I've seen a T-Bird burn up on the bench man! You'd have to leave it running for a LONG time without a fan to lose the mobo, believe me. Tom's Hardware probably did just that!
I'm not an expert or anything, but if i'm not mistaken, wouldn't the OS's scheduler, schedule the different apps to run on each of the CPU's seperately, would it not? Like i said I could be wrong, but assuming I'm right, this would allow different daemons and such to run on the different CPUs. Also, the kernel can be SMP compiled, meaning kernel processes are sped up. I'm speaking 100% theoretical of course. I do know, that even non-smp apps see speed increases on SMP systems, that's been proven...(read: Tom's Hardware, Anand Tech)
Umm, you kind of missed the point entirely. Just because someone works for a company who's source-code policy you don't like, doesn't mean the programmers shouldn't have jobs there. Not to mention, I didn't say that's the only place they worked, but it is the place they where theywork that is affected in this story.
BTW, RedHat, SuSE and Mandrake do make money from software sales, lest you forget...also, the service fees thing...how well does that seem to be working out? For most, it seems not all to well...for some yes. But not all by far.
Well, maybe because when something is illegal, the government spends tax dollars to investigate, make arrests and prosecute. It's called the law...maybe you've heard of it.:-) It's the government's job to enforce laws, not microsoft's. Not to mention, i'm sure they weren't pirating JUST microsoft products.
If we don't continually buy more software...the programmers eventually lose their jobs. Their salaries aren't affected sure, but, hey if they don't have a job, what does it matter?
Actually, yes you do, how many you get, varies by the ticket. However, in my state, GEorgia, i you ar under 21, any ticket that gives you three points or more = instant 1 year suspension. Qualifying offense: driving after midnight - this used be 1am, with the exceptions of medical emergencies, school events, church events, or driving to and from work, now it's midnight with no exceptions.
more than 24 mph over the speed limit...basically if you're under 21 and drive on the freeway...you're screwed because everyone drives that fast over the speed limit on the freeway!:-) A DUI (i like this one.) and there are some other ones too.
We even risk losing our license if we get 3 tickets of any number of points in less than a year...speeding or otherwise.
This is just Goergia...I don't know how other states work but it's probably not to far off.
Atlanta has issues all of the place due to the city government. Anything they touch is just f*cked up all over the place! Well, they touched the olympics and the olympic computer systems back in '96, and well you saw the results. Just be glad you don't have to live with said government.:-)
Actually, legally it's not okay, it's just kind of...overlooked. Also, what kind of nut would want a dozen wives? One, as I can see it, is a little difficult to handle, much less 12! Also, what business is it of the government's how many wives a person has?!?! If they have no sanity, and want 12 that should be there...warped but legal right. Also, instead of worrying about who is bribing the IOC officials, maybe one should worry about the fact that they are taking the bribes. Aside from that, Salt Lake City seems like a fairly nice venue, so no need to complain to much!:-)
I was not summming up the motto, I said 'NEVER leave a man behind' follows suit to it, that is to say, it goes along with it, and matches with it. Oh yes, I knew the meaning of semper fidelis, but that you for stating it for those who didn't.:-)
I have friends who were marines who were nice enough to tell me about it.
And by the way, thank you for your service to our country!
You obviously didn't read my statement. There are conditions to when it will solve problems. Also, some of those civilians might not have voted for the governing bodies that support murder. Also, alot of non-americans were in the WTC. By the way, every country in the middle east murders civilians,not just Israel, so that's not much of an argument.
For me, it was around 6th grade. Until I was 16, I had a reputation as "one bad ass little shit" who "you don't wanna fuck with." Truthfully, as long as you didn't pick a fight, or pick on my friends, I was pretty civil!:-)
Oh dear king, would you please grant us our independence, since you won't even let us have representation for our taxation. It's not like we will revolt or anything, we're not violent people afterall.
I'm sorry, violence solves ALOT. When I was younger and got picked on, and beat-up, standing there and taking it didn't solve a thing, but by God when one-day I slugged the guy and shoved my knee into his stomach, then into his face, he never messed with me again. Here's the thing: violence does solve problems, when a) it's directed at the correct person/people and when b) you're right, and they aren't.
Portrayed violence doesn't create more violence, it merely reflects some a fact of society.
I'm not military, so I'll first say thank you for your service to our country.
But I'll disagree with you SLIGHTLY.
In normal battle I'd agree, 100% true. The Marines Corp. I know has a motto that follows suit to Semper Fidelis...NEVER leave a man behind. However, when under NATO command, and when the pilot is somewhere he wasn't supposed to, I doubt politicians would even think twice about leaving a man for death when it will save their political asses. The point in the plot, is that the US military didn't want to leave him in there, they want to go in to get him. So, I'd say it is very realistic. Maybe I should say it like this to sum it all up: your argument against it's realism, is what makes it realistic.
What a bummer! I think if i had to stare at a grey cubicle wall all day, I'd shove my Makarov in my mouth...and well you know the rest. They need to at least make the walls blue or something else, more colorful than...grey. Just Damn!:-) Seriously, will they not let you hang some posters or something?
Of this I'm aware and agree. Btw, xine doesn't actually do any playing...plugins do. Which is nice. Either or, I can't understand what judge in his or her right mind would uphold this law. It seems to violate the first amendment all over the place!
Umm, it's not about bootlegging! It's about freedom, they're telling us that reverse engineering (which under every other copyright law is legal) is illegal. They're telling us they figuring out how to do what they did, without their help is illegal. That figuring out how to have a computer read e-books to the blind, is illegal. That figuring out how to watch DVDs in an "alternative OS" is illegal. Sorry, bootlegging DVDs is a fricking bitch and sure as hell isn't worth it! The quality is degraded also.
Great, one step closer to my dvd player being illegal (Xine). I can actually watch my DVDs in linux....BSOD in windows...err at least when I use my decoder card...thank you crappy drivers!
Please, we're not "subverting" encryption for piracy purposes, we're "subverting" so we can watch our damned movies! Or so we have e-books read to the blind! This law is so ludicrous!

That's not completely true.

I've never heard of a ticket ONLY costing $100. Improper lane change is $300 easy...much less a speeding ticket.
or you might get a ticket for speeding to the hospital with a dying man, and saving his life after someone attempted to murder him.

Erm...true, but how different is this from when we link up multiple switches?

Bootlegging doesn't necesarilly imply that...least not here in the south. (remember the moonshiners who did their craft for their own use?)

It's not an assignment, it's setting up a reading list so that he may eventually have an assignment! Read the article!
I'm glad this is so for you :-)
