Let them deprive their children and let them show their children that they have no hope in them. This will be great and will keep Japan, China, USA, India, and other countries at a higher level than Australia all because they want a higher score.
The PS3 is more expensive than the PS2 when it first came out. People in Japan and US aren't making enough money to spend on luxury entertainment items. That's why people aren't picking up the PS3 as fast as the PS2 back when it came out.
The Wii is cheap and fun, that's why it is the number one selling Next Gen console in Japan.
What if the Geek Squad techie found child-pornography on the customer's system? Did he cross the line on privacy or played a good Samaritan role by finding it then reporting it to the local police officials?
Besides, chances are, the stuff the GS techies find on their customer's PC such as porn, and mp3 music are most likely stolen in the first place. Good thing they don't work for the RIAA and MPAA:D.
Open Source Security sounds very much like an oxymoron. It pretty much is if you think about it. How can you make something secure if your enemy knows how the lock is made, how everything else works. How can you keep your house safe if the locks are made so that anybody knows how they are made and know the weak points and can easily pick them? People pay top money for security and they sure as hell won't go for something that is openly available, even the people they are trying to secure their items from.
From a consumer standpoint OSS is good, but for government agencies, private industry, rich art collectors, etc. They'll want something unique and something only the owner and the creator will know how it works.
So much for OLPC for having its potential buyers in getting to use software that the majority of the world uses.
I think this project is a waste of resources. Why build new and crippled systems (hardware-wise) and sell it to third world countries and call it a humanitarian service when there are thousands of old computers that are in working condition, capable of running XP and other modern software, but are not being used at all or are being thrown out. We could be saving a ton of resources if we just had a program that went around our nation and other first-world nations gathering old computers, making them work and send them off to schools in third-world countries for little to no money.
There are many organizations out there that already do this and they do it all for free. Now that is charity/humanitarian work. Charging the poor for a crippled and exclusive non-standard system is by no means charity - just a publicity stunt.
There is TinyXP. it takes up 400mbs, and requires at least 40mb RAM. Google it as it will come up with information about it, and also download links. I'm sure posting links like that are violation of the rules here on slashdot, so I won't take that chance.
If you have ever gotten laid, like me - you would know that waterbased lubricants are great for carnal pleasures. Just watch Talk Sex with that canadian chick on the show. She's always babbling about how waterbased lubricants are the way to go. They help a lot. They prevent a condom from tearing, and they should be used if you're going in 'the other door'.
Back on topic, will this 'discovery' in nanobased water lubricant be functional in almost all applications? I mean, you can't use this in a system that will cause a lot of friction, as that will cause the water to expand and simply break due to no lubrication. It looks like this can only be applied on systems that do no cause heat buildup.
WE use petroleum based lubricants because they can take the heat much better than water can.
This article is almost a carbon copy of the recently released DVD movie, Children of Men. Where fertility drops to the point where everyone is infertile and all hell breaks lose. This article is the basis of that movie. It is as if they had nothing else to think of. but it is possible, very possible.
If this were to occur, then make sure you live in seclusion; grow pot and food; fall in love with a female revolutionary; get sucked into a shitty plot; save humanity by rowing a pregnant black girl, who doesn't know who the father is as always, and supposedly save human kind from self-extinction to some freaking fishing boat.
Intel is no longer leading as they have in yeas past - they are copying and looting their competition shamelessly. It appears that they are "leading" when point in fact it's simply not the case - had AMD not realeased the Athlon64 we would all still be using single processor NetBurst processors. Actually, Intel is leading on something very important, mobility and power consumption. Take a look at the Pentium M series. Laptops with the Pentium M series always outpaced the Athlon Turion series in both battery life and in speed, in most applications. Now we see Intel integrating that technology into the desktop CPU series.
When i ordered my Artic Silver compound, the website had some instructions on how to apply the paste depending on what type of CPU you own. These instructions can be applied to any kind of thermal paste.
The US NEEDs more math and science teachers, especially good ones. The rest of the world exceeds in these fields more than our younger generation can. With politics messing things up in the science classroom about creationism over evolution, it is a huge step backward and will definitely damage our country's reputation for being the mecca of new technology research.
I do know of some math teachers who used to work for Lockheed Martin and they were really focused on making sure every teen in their classroom. The state I live in gives teachers tax breaks and other incentives in living here. Pretty much every state is doing what they can. Fact of the matter is, states cannot do much under the current system. It is a matter of what kind of public education system you want. Do you want a state controlled system or a federal government controlled system?
Yep. The only way to really use this effectively is to load it up with lots of bloatware. Imagine the tons of ads one can finally get with this type of CPU! doubleclick.net would seriously love this.
People still effectively use processing power equivelant to that of an 800mhz Pentium 3 for basic stuff (and I'm just talking about Word processing, email, internet, no gaming) on average. Why would someone need a quad core CPU, and a crappy videocard just for surfing the net, typing, etc?
In reality, that is what will ultimately happen. Just lots of stuff running in the background without us really noticing it. The speed and cores can make it easier to hide spyware in the background because you won't notice any slowdown in your system when the spyware loads, whereas if you have an older PC you will notice when something is running in the background as it will slow it down considerably. Bloatware will end up becoming tolerable when these types of CPUS start being put in desktop PCs. People will get used to it as much as most people tolerate spam in their email.
If you had the board swapped with one that has the exact same chipset then Windows would not have picked up the change in motherboard. I have done this to many Emachines, Dells, and HPs. Sometimes I built them a whole new system, just same OEM license. Hell, the OEM license says that if the motherboard is defective, you don't have to buy a new license. In all those cases, the boards were defective and required a rebuild of the system. I never had to call MS to get a new activation key, not yet at least. Chances are what you have is an Intel chipset which are VERY picky if you swap the boards out without wanting to reinstall the OS. THe motherboard has to have the exact same chipset in order for XP to boot and not recognize the motherboard swap.
Its very simple. If the founder of Ebay made a big investment towards Linden Labs and then rights up new policy that bars people from selling items from WoW, etc, except for Second Life, that is a conflict of interest. Period.
This kinda is a big deal. Imagine all the customers of Bank of America, Suntrust, Citibank, and Wachovia who are constantly reporting to google whenever they come across a phishing site. Dyslexic still continue in reporting fishing.com to google *sigh*.
Hopefully they'll come out with a patch that will stop printers from printing out pictures of Whoopi Goldberg naked. That happened in our office before. Poor Charles is blind.

What do you call it when a shard server craps out? It sharded.
Damnit! I was going to register that company name over here in the states! Looks like I'll have to figure something out then....

So it took Intel almost 9? years to integrate the Intel i740 GPU onto a CPU? I always wanted native DirectX 6.1 support right from the get-go!
When i ordered my Artic Silver compound, the website had some instructions on how to apply the paste depending on what type of CPU you own. These instructions can be applied to any kind of thermal paste.

Isn't knowledge of assembly language for microprocessors required to create a higher level programming language?
Is that what you would name this micro-organism?

Yeh. Don't rely on the HDD after it surpasses its' manufacturer warranty.
