No, you got it backwards. The AMD cpus [as I understand it] have DEDICATED pipes to the other cpus. They're 8/16 bits wide and run at [forget but think it goes upto 1.6Ghz].
So cpu 2 and cpu 3 could talk and not get in the way of cpu 1 and the memory bus. Yes, there is "northbridge" for memory but there still is a memory bus. The Intel cpus have no dedicated bus and ALL talk over the same bus.
Not having either combo of boxes I can't tell you which is faster but usually AMD is much faster than Intel just on the pure "not being a Ghz pusher".
"is politics ever going to be about the issues instead of about knee-jerk reactions"...
Them's fightin words!
The truth of the matter is people look for status quo. Mostly civil servants are the ones who make anything "government related" work. It's not the senators/governors/etc...
So given that politicians don't really do any work [of substance] and are so devoid of conviction they're just going to say whatever they can do get elected.
What they really should do is make a law where commercials/print ads must
1. Have links to sources that are legible [e.g. people, phone numbers, email, urls, etc]
2. ACTUALLY BE LITERALLY TRUE.
I dunno how many times there was a "truth" and then the implications were not brought up.
First, gmail uses this as a HUGE datamining service.
Second, ooo free space...
Personally I don't care if they read my emails or send them off to spammers or what not. It's a quality service, works well and is realible.... and it's free.
Granted this can be abused let's not forget that tampering with a university computer isn't a "minor" event. It can potentially affect many peoples lives.
Suppose you decide you really should have that engineering degree but just don't want to study... Now you're in the middle of building a 90-storey office complex and you have about 40% of the knowledge you need....
And besides, I had to drudge through college without cheating [which included repeating some classes] why shouldn't she?
Simple, make a vocal complaint, if they have written policy quote it, failing that call the BBB and lodge a complaint and finally don't shop there again.
That last point is important. There is a bum shop in Ottawa called OEM and they sell crap, disregard their written policy, etc... And even though my friends know about the shit they pull they still go there out of "it's close by".
The trick is on them though cuz there are at least two other high quality shops [RB Computing and FedaCom] in Ottawa. So all you have todo is remind them there is an alternative to putting up with their crap.
Or just buy retail. I bought two DSes for two friends and one of them had a defective pixel. They took it back and gave me a new one... I TESTED IT IN THE STORE...
Futureshop/bestbuy is usually good about it to. Just be very specific about asking about the return policy. e.g. specifically ask "if I bring this home, plug it in and the screen no work, I can return it right?"
That way if they're like "this isn't covered" you can say "I specifically asked you about this very issue...".
Key things
1. Make sure other customers can hear you
2. Be polite, usually they will help you out without asking.
3. Read available literature first. If the store has a return/exchange policy make sure you read it first [ask for a written copy].
And dude, just because you *can* take a few days extra doesn't mean you should.
Just keep in mind every time you go to get a "not-latest-mpaa-mandated hit" [e.g. classic] and it's not there... it could be someone who is thinking like you. oh I can have it forever...
Unless you're building KDE or OpenOffice you only need ~200MB of space for temp stuff [Kernel is about 160MB].
Normally I don't make small drives but my friend routines splits his poor laptop drive between windows and linux and often he gives his Gentoo drive ~10GB at most.
Also if all you're going to be doing is playing mp3s you don't need X and mplayer or mpg123 will do just fine.
A small gentoo desktop install typically takes between 1 and 2GB. That includes the coreutils, linuxutils, X, mozilla, editors, compilers, etc...
As for the ram, ideally you want 256 as a minimum or you're going to be swapping a lot to disk. 512MB is plenty. I know on my laptop at least going from 256 to 768 [two slots, it came with a 256MB board] MB of ram was a nice boost for building stuff.
On my laptop I sit at 3.2GB used and I have tons of other tools installed [Gnome, tetex, debugging tools, gaim, openoffice, etc...].
But even a full desktop build with Gnome or KDE wouldn't top 4GB of space and in that you're getting a lot of free tools.
Not only that but xorg reads xfree config files and they behave [in that respect] pretty much the same.
Not only that but I've come back from a month abroad and had no trouble updating a gentoo box.
Maybe if the person neglected the box for a couple years there would be deprecated packages but at that point you're probably better off... that's how all these worms/viruses spread anyways...
Ideally Gentoo should have an installer and ideally it should have a "put emerge in my crontab please" mode for the newbs that don't want to toy with it.
But really, to use gentoo you're gonna need to know how to use emerge/etc-update and a couple other tools.
Oh for shame, a free OS that works well, is reliable and decently supported and all you have todo is burn a 50MB CD to start and read a manual!!!
The idea is pipeline. The main round function is 4 layers of FPHT networking. So unroll the cipher [thankgod it's not that large] and you get 32 layers of FPHT networking.
Now make a pipeline with 32 stages... load key then load plaintext.
So effectively you have a 2 cycle encrypt operation, you can encrypt to 16 DIFFERENT keys simultaneously, and a "cycle period" is roughly as long as one layer of FPHT.
Gonna encrypt all to one key? Then precompute the key schedule and load one block per cycle...
I mean, what's next? Some sort of organization to filter what can and can't be said on television?
Oh...shit.
I think you mean [FCC filter turned on]
Oh...crap
or equally impressive
Oh..gosh darn
Or something equally lame. Cuz afterall, adults should pay through the nose for movies and cable access so they can view 24/7 "6yr old approved" material...
Cuz a kids head would explode if they learned that people have sex, swore or etc...
Should take your kids to the Musee Orsay in Paris. Lots of pictures/sculptures of "naked chicks". I saw kids in the museum when I was there and they weren't assembling sniper riffles or raping the younger children or something.
Of course life is no longer an experience and just a government sanctioned situation.
"Maybe you're complaining about something being taken from you (porn, "freedom of speech", etc). But I value the children's innocence much more."
Oh someone please think of the children.... oh whoa is me.
Hey, I'm 23. I'm an adult. Why should I pay extra so that my net connection can be a babysitting service for your 6 yr old brat?
[I have the same complaint about cable tv...].
Hey, if your kid paid for the net access themselves that's one thing... but "net access" is an adult thing.
If you're worried about what your kid may see.... BE WITH THEM AS THEY SURF THE WEB. Or just teach your kids not to surf "morally ambiguous" websites.
Similar to cable tv... I pay for cable yet all they show is FCC approved nonsense [pretty much anything on TBS for instance]. I can take the swearing and other "morally bad bad things". But, no. Because you're too lazy to be a good parent the FCC dumbs-down all media, now utah is cracking down on ISPs just so your stupid little whiny unloved 6 yr old kids can look at the world and go "wow, nobody ever swears, has sex, does mean things, etc..."
Raise your kids, don't let the net or tv raise your kids.
So I'm telling you THINK about the children. Don't just have yet another babysitter in the house.

It's a good thing NONE of that is actually true. You can sell "your copy" of pretty much anything. It is afterall your copy.
By your logic used book sales would be illegal because the owners of the rights don't want you to publish the same book in your own name, etc...
I'd think once you buy a track you should have a right to transfer it [permanently] to someone else. Provided you respect the property nature [e.g. remove your copy after the transfer] what's the harm?

... VIA boxes are often used as media boxes. They're certainly not good workstations.
So yeah MPEG playback is a good idea...
I missed the "no" in there...

In the AMD world the cpus talk across the HT at like "really fast" and then they talk to the northbridge.
In the Intel world they all share the northbridge.
Now think about "cache coherancy"...

Granted gentoo is not for 300MB drives... But most distros aren't either. LFS or DSL are about all you can use for that case.
Tom
No, you should take your P133 with the 300MB drive and SMASH IT INTO TINY LITTLE BITS.
Then go get a 50$ duron and an 80$ 40GB drive and be done with [oh and a 90$ mobo and some 90$ ram... might need a new 100$ PSU]
Or just up the drive cuz 300MB is like wicked small and inferior.
And your OP said 8GB...
