I agree, I'm not saying any different. For HP to charge a grand for the same damn thing I can build for a few undred (and have 10X more usibility) is insane.
But, as been pointed out a billion times by posters already, this isn't targeted at people like "us" (geeks with too much time and ideas), it's for people that don't have a freakin' clue that this can be easily made for pretty cheap (and that have a hard time infront of an ATM machine...).

The problem is that every widget is hand drawn instead of using the native OS widgets. So scrollbars, drop down boxes, etc. are all taking up rendering time.
LOGIC! My God! There's someone on/. who sees the simplicity of things...
Thank you for posting this.
This is (some of) why I use Konqueror 98% of the time. It uses KDE's own wigets. Which not only provides a similarity to the rest of the "OS", it also boosts the hell out of render time.
Konqueror isn't perfect, however. I said 98%. That other 2% is dedicated to Mozilla. Theres just some things that Konqueor has a hard time with. Ever try to do a TV Guide search with Konqueror? It doesn't render the search page (almost) at all. I'm not sure why. I've looked at the source page to try to figure out why it doesn't render it right so I can send a fix (or at least a suggestion) to the KDE Team, but I have yet been able to see what's wrong.

If Tom chooses to use somebody else's chipset, it's not AMD's fault when that chipset doesn't have support for powering the box down when it starts to overheat.
I'm not saying it's someone's "fault". I'm simply saying that AMD is great at making microwaves. This isn't a AMD vs. Intel thing. AMD definatly has the better idea, they just need to work on the chipset before I'd even consider one for a "production" box. As another AC points out:
Now, with a P4, the system throttles down so that it never shuts down. Instead, it just runs about 90% slower. I'd personally rather have it shut down rather than wonder what's going on with a slow machine.
Yup. The Intel proc does keep running. Even if it's half-assed, the Intel keeps running. Production boxen need to be up. If the thing's running that damn slow, even a brain-dead Admin will be able to figure something's wrong when the calls start coming in.
Oh, wait... the box is up. You can actually try to figure out what's wrong. Not "waltz" back to the Server Room to a dead box and wonder from there...
This is utter bullshit. In the first clip, dude pyulls the fan off. OK. Well it cut away in about 2 seconds. What happened then? Most of that answer is obvious, the freakin' game died (and so did the box from the looks of it)
In the second clip, The game died and so did the box.

This is MAJOR miss-information (as far as I can tell). The only setup I can find is for POP/SMTP servers. Yes, I understand Exchange supports POP/SMTP, but it comes with the REAL secure thing known as clear text logins. I disabled POP and SMTP on my Exchange server years ago because of this.

With the things that have been going on lately you shouldn't be bothered by this. Would you rather have someone sneaking something in they shouldn't or even sneaking something out that is dangerous. If you odn't like it quit and try and find a good job in these hard economic times that doesn't search you. Good look trying to find something outside of McDonalds.
I would rather be patted down on my way into work then have some lunitic making a bomb or some chemical for some crazy mission sitting next to me.
Yes, I understand that just some Rent-A-Cop rubbing my legs isn't going to stop the determined individual, but it certainly isn't a bad idea.
Yes, I'm sure it's VERY damn annoying (I can't speak from personal experience other than the gown-up procedures involed in going into a bio-medical clean room), but d00d, mellow out.
Dude, get with the times. OK, fine. I've had this arguent with a Brit ICQ friend I've known for about 3 years now. He wonders why we dont spell "harbor" with the "U" (and similar), "I don't know" is my best answer.
My point was different people say different things and say those things, different ways. I do. Do you?
Yes, technically, I speak English. In reality, I speak American. It just so happens that American is mostly based on English (British). Hmmm... I wonder why.... (please don't go into the whole latin foundry of this language...)
Isn't it because it was the British colonized this country?
Nah, can't have anything to do with that...

It's very true. From Loki's page:

Actually, you're kind of right. No one had (been reported to have) died. But it still did have an effect on MANY people.
You can read about it if you want.
Seems as though (*MAYBE*) you stole your comment?
In the memo there is a pretty graph of the differnt flavors of "Open Source". They list "BSD-Style". The interesting there is that the "All Derivatives Must Be Free" column is not checked.
M$'s TCP/IP stack is directly from BSD.
Windows isn't "free".
