What you say is all true, but you know what you are doing. People that go into Gateway and say, "I want the fastest thing you sell..." probably don't. With a P4, if something goes weirdly wrong, the chances of melting it are much much less than with a Athlon.
... every 17 months, which I assume is due fatigue caused by either heat or friction, or both.
This power source, after being jump started, not only runs until it BREAKS, but replaces the energy required to jump start it, runs at full power until the end, and loses no output as those parts wear out, then BREAKS!
Those thermal diodes on the AMD XP series are very problematic. It turns out, the diodes were designed for a change of temperature of only 1 degree per second! This is so slow as to be useless. Think of the rate of change of temperature when a fan fails or a heatsink & fan fall off/partially disconnect. You get the result that Tom's Hardware did here.
If NorthernLight has been doing this for quite some time, and they are selling out, why would Yahoo! think they are going to succeed where others, with original ideas, have failed?
Also, can Yahoo! do anything on their own? License from Google, copy ebay and Hotmail etc etc.
Already some insurance companies that offer anti-hacking cover are charging higher premiums to clients who use a lot of Microsoft software because vulnerabilities are so regularly found in it.
With tactics like this already in place, not only will Microsoft lobby against it, but so will the insurance industry.
MS will say that it is unfair to be responsible for the actions of hackers/crackers after their software has been released, stating that they have no control of what people do with/to it after it has been sold to the public.
The insurance lobbyists will probably say that laws of this nature are unwarranted. They already have a system in place to protect corporations (for a price).
I also did not like the wording at the end of the article implying that the sys. admin. could be held liable. That seems outrageous, if they are not allowed to put up the protective systems of their own choosing.

Review of Pay Napster

· Score: 2, Interesting
in terms of tv's and vcr's and this of the like (true applicances) reliability is of paramount importance. computers, it is not. the hope is that most people buy a new one because there old one is "out of date." this cycle seems to be 3 or 4 years with the ever important, and economy driving, middle class.
most, not all, but most, computers will not last that long, with daily usage. and what is worse, is that the ones that do last that long are sporadic; meaning it is not one particular model (usually) that is going to last, but one specific unit, that could be from any model, or line.
things are getting better, but think of this; how long have your parents had their tv? if they own a computer, how long have they owned it? how many computers have they owned in the same time frame as that tv?
that is what it means to be reliable. the new iMac will not live up to this kind of reliability. it can't for a simple reason; it is made the same way, of the same parts, as so many other pc's.
the little 13" tv i got for college still works great (albeit small), but the 466DX 33MHz is no longer around. it was no longer capable of doing the things that were required.
side note: programmers, please get the bloat under control (except for games of course). you have the most control as to what the life cycle of a coputer _should_ be.
Why didn't Lindows send out a email to all people on the mailing list saying that we had 24 hours to remove ourselves from the Lindows mailing list, otherwise it will be turned over to Microsoft.
That would have been nice, but unfortunately, I don't think it would have been very practical:-(

Thank you! That link was rather helpful :)
Are the airports going to be utilizing the same blacklists of url's that the Australian government uses?
I know if I had a kid, and he/she was sitting next to some 40 yr old skeeze looking at kiddie pr0n, I would be livid!
I think the music industry is bribing all of these companies to add this crap so people will lose faith, and stop using the service.

you just like Google cuz it's a cluster of ~6,000 linux boxes...
;-)
That is what Lindows must have been thinking.
1/3 better compression than .mp3.
my hearing is not so good, so quakity is not of paramount importance.
The Kyocera was designed as a phone first. "That POS" from Handspring is designed as a pda first.
In response to this from Handspring, probably.
Moreover, unlike Microsoft, Palm does not have a multibillion-dollar product like Windows to fall back on.
Neither does Microsoft anymore. XP launched, and the earnings for MS came up short. XBox launched, and it failed to outpace a one year old console.
MS needs to find another homerun, and they are willing to try just about any market segment to get it.
Why is it necessary for both Palm and Microsoft executives to lie about the capabilities of the other?
AOL/TW buying out RH is prolly not a "good thing."
But the chance of exposure for Linux, albeit prolly in a very dilluted, unrecognizable even, form is great (very large).
Could morph into something as based on Linux as Apple's OSX is on *BSD.
Or this could all be bullshit. Who knows, yet?
MS does not have to buy in to get their own linux distribution. They can take RH/Debian/Mandrake or whatever, mod it, then distribute it.
GPL.
how long can that last?? (1300mah)
Pricewatch, of course.
Also, Nextag. Similar to Pricewatch, but has more than just computer related items.
why else do you think that just about everyone that makes/sells printers also makes/sells cartridges.
you have heard the comparison to razors and disposable blades??
if you want to run your machine all night, try this here.

try here.
its not in english, but they have some very cool stuff!
cheap crap is the bread and butter of the computer market.
has been for quite some time.
why else did Apple make/sell the iBook or the iMac?
cuz it is chaper than the high end G3/G4 stuff that is competitive. basically, it is just a Duron or a Celeron (less MHz, slower bus).
stock market is not a direct corelation to how well a business/company is doing. stock market is based mainly on *speculation*
but i am sure that you knew that.
why else would apple's stock go up after the new imac is shown to the world, but none have been delivered yet??
speculation.
