First off you only need one pistol to kill something.
Shooting two pistols [not something I would recommend people do] is just plain fun. You gotta be careful but it's fun [specially with my Bro's CZ-75 pistols...]
Speaking as someone who's shot pistols before I agree that you can't aim *precisely* but again pistols are not meant for sniping 100 meters away.
However, in close range [3m] two pistol shooting can be fun [just be careful to set your hand before you shoot the next one. Your hands may have a tendency to move inwards.:-)
Also the gangsta sideway style is actually harder.
Um? Why would a Ford dealer sell a competitors car? Last I checked DELL makes PCs/laptops/etc. They don't actually make the pieces.
However, since they only sell Intel procesesors with their computers they are doomed to follow Intel [up and down]. Say the next P4 [say the P5? oh shit they already made that... um P4-II?] is a bomb. What does DELL do then?
Really it makes good business sense to offer at least one alternative [say AMD and ideally they should offer Crusoe for laptops]. That way if one supplier bombs they're not shit out of product.
The correct analogy would be similar to Hertz only renting Ford cars or something.
As I understand patents [which isn't saying much] you have to infringe on the patent as a whole not in part. Obviously there is wiggle room about the steps [e.g. change a 6ml of water to 6.0001ml won't make your process different enough].
So all another company has todo is find a significantly different way to make the tubes and voila. Or just duke it out by the monkey bars after school with the NEC staff:-)
You know I really hope Darl doesn't drive a car down those winding streets after a tune-up:-)
yeah, we would have used our computer to diagnose your car but it runs Linux. Thanks for the lawsuit. So instead we threw lawn darts at the internals and leaked all your brake fluid. Have a nice day!
Mars is really really red. That and after spending billions to send probes to Mars scientologiest have learned that they can basically say anything to the media cuz there is really no way for anyone else to refute it.
Well that may be but so is then the average joe trying to convert over [I type this... into Mozilla 1.6-r1 using the latest ~x86 icewm on my FUCKING GENTOO INSTALL] users from others OSes.
I went to the mirrors. Followed the release/2004.0/livecd/x86 and found nada [found nada in the i686, p3 and p4 dirs too].
They do. The GRP cds are stocked with pre-compiled binaries for basically all the desktop packages you could need.
The point though is who wants bloatware? You can go from nada to KDE in about 900MB. Knoppix is about 1.6GB and Redhat distros are always like 4GB or whatnot...
Um somehow I doubt that. Regardless of the light it's a crime to hit a person with a vehicle in both Canada and the USA. However, chances are if you couldn't avoid it you won't get actually charged.
This is a case of "just because we can do it doesn't mean we should."
The "let's make this as cheap as possible" or "market market market" mentality is what lands people with useless and buggy [I've seen many buggy DVD players in my time] equipment.
Heck even my parents Sony DVD player which is claimed as handling MP3 CDS has troubles reading/playing all of the LAME encoded mp3s on one of my disks...
I'd rather pay 150$ for a "media player" if I knew it was flexible and upwards compatible [e.g. can use new codecs].
A 1Ghz Crusoe [or the new Efficeon/etc] ought to be more than enough power for video/audio codecs of various shapes and sizes... And it could support OGG think about that!
Whoever modded you insightful is a fucking moron. Crusoes can already software decode 720x480 video with time to spare [in fact lots of time to spare].
That and who says all video must be 1920x1080? Personally I find HDTV a huge fucking waste of time. Sure 1920x1080 for a desktop monitor may make sense because you are sitting in front of it. But a TV which sits 20' away makes for very small and impossible to notice pixels.
Why don't they just put the the codec in some byte code format on the media? That way the player can play any codec [within reason: e.g. you'd still have to spec out a codec size, memory alotment, hardware assist standards].
This way the content producers can use the codec they like not the ones they are forced to by another governing body. OSS people can use their Xvid [or whatever] and the commercial entities can use their MPEG2 [or whatever].
Put something like a Crusoe with CMS+8MB of ram in the player and just load the codec at play time. Cheap, power efficient and enough MIPS to run any decent codec.

I ran the test code in the advisory on a stock 2.4.25 build and it printed out NO and NO for both questions [vulnerable and exploitable].
Is this really a bug? [tinfoilhatmode] Is the advisory code correct? Or is this just so old that both 2.4 and 2.6 lines have it fixed already?
Tom
alright alright you win!
um up yours. This entire article is about a VIDEO game.
So -3 serious and +4 get a life.
Tom
Um first off I never said they would be useful. Fuck are you some form of /. smacktard?
Second, I was talking about pistols not rifles [two rifles would be really awkward].
Tom
Yeah but when I do goto the range I go for two reasons.
1. have fun shooting off rounds
2. Practice actually closing my grouping.
I don't really care about my "killing ability".

Why? They just spent the last decade convincing their customers they need "the awesome power of the Intel [chipname] processor".
I mean just because they're more expensive, not really faster and generally are just name doesn't mean you should stick only with one company.
Shit Darwin's just a "theorist" anyways.
Good then as his first order of new business he can give me a job!
Or do I have to move to India first?
I run Gentoo linux with Mozilla. If I do ever catch some lamo win32 virus I'll bow down in respect to the master who figures that out.
Tom
I ain't no patent laywer.... but...

Um they don't have a product yet and have been vaporware forever.
So um, whos hurting who?

Tom
OMG stop the presses, some dorky cover art for crappy movies got out!!! SHAME SHAME SHAME!!
Great, I'll file this under shit I don't care about.
Tom
I mean the city plans and builds our roads, sewers, powerlines, etc...
Why not this too? The trick is what will the fiber be hooked upto? I'd rather a commercial ISP than a government.
Tom
I know you are but what am I?

I went to three diff mirrors. No ISO for 2004.0/livecd/x86
???
What gives???
