dude you should seriously consider a dual amd system. im running a dual mp 1600+ with 512 ram and i paced it with my freinds xeon p4 at 2ghz and mine was about the same. they have alot more cache sure but for like about 2000$ more i would gladly spare it.
i am planning on getting opterons when they fall to about 250-300 per proc and hey, for 600 more i have a quad system, if anyone puts out a mobo that is...(read none yet). the rams cheaper, the procs are cheaper and the mobos are cheaper. and on top of it all -- 64bit. i used to cry heat! heat! but properly ventilated mine runs at 35*c up to 47 at full tilt. (volcano 7s) i used to be an intel man all the way but performance is better than the slight cooling issue.
"At the time of Avro's cancelation the US millitary was actually looking at buying and using the Avro Arrow"
or ala microsoft/direct tv/softwood lumber/mad cow (the cow aparently came from the states) canada said fuck you we'll keep our plane, or they simply offered a stupidly low amount and then the great republic of america covertly broke some knees. its like living next to tony suprano on a bender. (although i never watched that show i feel confident using the analogy)
Wow. i dont even know what to say about this. the us went in and, with the help of technology, slaughtered(sp?) and carpet bombed a country that didnt even have a standing army. does anyone know how many altercations with millitary units they had? of course this is just glossed over because its slashdot and because the story has to do with computers it doesnt really matter that the computers are being used to kill real people.
this is sick. america acts like it won a very tough battle when really its like mowing down native americans with shotguns and rifles. iraq never had a chance, this isnt a war, its fucking mass murder.
and what the hell does this mean (from article) A sign posted on a folding picnic table outside the door reads, "the beatings will stop when morale rises." UMMM??
i sware to god america wake the fuck up. go ahead patriots mod me down ive been at -1 for 2 years and dont expect it to change, but what really are you defending, what are you being patriotic about? examine your rational before all this sophisticated hardware is turned inward on you; of course thats what it woudl take to make americans realize anything, that there personal lives are in danger.
first they came for the terrorists but i was not a terrorist....
This Slashdot story just appeared at the top of the U.S news listings on Google News.
It appears more than a few people are concerned about total information awareness
you do know that those pages are randomly generated right, maybe terminator/matrix/machine run distopia had it backwards... the machines are trying to save us! i wouldnt be surprised if google one day became self aware.
as i said to a friend of mine recently "i think the world is liek 1984, you think its like friends"
honestly what can anoyone draw from that show? does anyone you knwo act liek those people? if so i am so so sorry for you please give me your address and ill pretend to care.

you can always tell who downloads christian rock by their posts. and come on 5gb? and you got quite good at it? what downloading things off napster? good for you! i see you managed to use a piece of software for what it was designed to do. of course thats more than i can say for some of my users but still.
and boy is it not 'hip' to agree with the riaa. you could think of all the money they embezzele(sp?) from artists, how they abuse a clear monopoly of distribution and even how they censor the world into what will fit in with the latest trends.
i have a fucking job. i have no problem paying for things, in fact if you werent collecting royal dalton figurenes or whatever, you would realize there isnt a heck of a lot to spend money on thats not crap and or bills.
all that said i will probably not use this service as im sure 9.99 is USD which works out to like 15 CAN so its the same as if i baught a cd anyways. Although cd stores arent open all the time and if i really must get that new bowie track right now it coudl be useful.
bottom line to me being a canadian its not cheaper at all, or at least thats how i see it working.
omg thats all we used to play back in the day. bolo is liek the rottenest game in the wrld. the school officials would kick us off but wed just go to another lab. there were times when we had someone from every social group clique and whatnot playing and i 0wn3d dem all!
here is a page that lists the email addys and contact info of t3direct. i foudn it in a google search but if you want to flame them then use those addresses.
looks like many ppl are pissed at these spammers. die spammer die.
what a suprise someone didnt read the fuckign article.
the SACD Hybrid - cleverly combines a single 4.7 GB layer with a conventional CD that can be played back on over 700 million cd player world wide.
that sounds suspiciously like a new business model to me and a good one at that. if you dont want to upgrade your equipment, then you dont have to and you can enjoy cd audio quality. if you do upgrade your shit you have incentive to buy the cd instead of pirating it.
incase you cant follow that, what it does is make the music available to everyone in oldschool pirating cd audio format well at the same time catering to those who want a fat track and are willing to pay the extra money for the cd. people have always said give me a good reason to buy a cd and i wont pirate it. well high quality sound of something like say dark side of the moon or downward spiral would make me buy the cd. if i jsut wanted to sample the music it woudl still be on the net in a lower format (ie old school cd audio) that rippers have been doing for years. its win win.
dont be stupid. this is actually a smart idea. release a cd that (im assuming) can be played with ordinary cd players and also introduce soemthing that will make it more desirable to not pirate (ie a seccond high quality track only playable on special cd players).
now they are thinking that they probably cant win the copyright war and are actually thinking of other ways to make money and that is a good thing.
true you shoudl be able to make backups of the cd but im sure some 133t h4x0rz will fix that and we can get back to 1995 when i was the only one who knew how to get mp3s off the internet/bbs. the masses ruined pirating so they need a technology that only hardcore ppl can grasp.
