Probably fear of being sued. You know, SCO and their new lawsuit business model. Probably would have also spun it into something about the others knowing their claims are right or something.
Actually, I'm an AMD fan-boy in a way. And I don't use a Mac.
The name is a combination of 2 pH indicators, Alizarin Yellow, and Erythrosin Blue (I think it's blue). I saw it in my chem book back in high school and thought it sounded cool together.
I'm sure if we could get a list of the IPs and the times they recorded it we could contact our ISP (for those of us on DHCP like myself) and find out if we had that address at the time. I for one am curious to see if I'm on the list since I was looking for an old jazz song last week. Who knows, the RIAA are bastards. They might try to sue me.
My cousin asks me one day "Where can I go to download music?" So I said, "Kazaa is pretty popular, but don't install regular Kazaa, it's full of spyware. Download Kazaa Lite."
A couple days later, he asks me "My computer gets all these popups now and runs really slow, it's annoying, how can I make it stop?" So I asked, "You installed Kazaa didn't you." "Yes" *sigh* "Ok, go here and download this, it'll get rid of the spyware."
Next day he's complaining that Kazaa won't work. Sure, the popups are gone, the spyware is gone, but Kazaa won't work. And he acts like it's my fault, when I told him not to install "regular" Kazaa in the first place.
I'll never buy anything from X10 because not only are their ads annoying, but the early ones for their tiny cameras implied using them to be sick and perverted by taping chicks in hottubs, people through windows, etc.
I hear that they have alot of good products now in the home-automation arena that sound interesting, but because of their annoying ads and pervert-implying-ness, I'm not even going to their website.
And yes, Google's ads are pretty relavent, most of the time. Sometimes there's a bad hit here or there.
NASA may not provide the volunteer, but they may still provide the technology. And it would be one step closer to realization of a global goal and not just for national pride (although there would undoubtedly be some national pride involved).
Um... I do. It's just that I can free up some other inputs for other devices if I use a switcher... I mean, I already have to walk up there to turn the console on and change games (if needed).
Multi RCA? What century do you live in? All my consoles run at least s-video, with the PS2 and Xbox (Yes I finally broke down and bought one... Crimson Skies is awesome) running optical audio cables.
The only switcher box I've found so far that switches optical, s-video, and component is $100 at Best Buy, and I'm not buying it just to switch 3 consoles. The DVD player runs through the receiver in it's own plug set.
I don't... but mostly people who use them at the place I work use them to find out when people are at their desks so they can drop in on them and [yell|ask a question|give them a new project]

Would you really want the possibility of the shuttle systems running Windows?
But seriously, the company I work for makes the main engine controller for the shuttle (not hard to figure out which company I guess), which is actually done in the plant right across the street from the one I work in.
IIRC (I did ask this question once), the reason they still use them is because their die size, and concequently their trace size, is big enough to allow for radiation-proofing. I.e. a Pentium 4 would take more radiation proofing then what they currently use. Which, if the cost of radhard parts for other stuff we make is any indication, will get to be much more expensive. Plus you'd probably have to change software. In the case of the space shuttle, that could prove disasterous.
...Is having to write the statement of work for a software project to be outsourced. And I'm a computer science major. Hired as a "software engineer". Who doesn't write software.
The Tyan Thunder board (K8S I think) I have has 4 slots for CPU0 and 2 slots for CPU1, which allows for each processor to have it's own stock of memory. But yes, there are others that have only one collective memory store attached to CPU0. You just need to investigate the board you buy first. IIRC there's an MSI board that has separate banks also.
A few months ago, I bought the parts for the server and put it together (it was $3500 btw). I was (and still am I guess) a Linux administrator noob so I didn't know if I would be able to configure the server in the way I wanted to (it's a file server for my home network and will eventually be a way I can get my files at work too).
That was then, this is now. Bills (new car, Christmas) dictate that I can't spend money on something I don't know will absolutly work first. Plus, the stuff is still mostly in beta. After the new year when I get more of a choice I'll probably get one.
I've seen plenty of them online (I got mine from googlegear.com, now zipzoomfly.com, but have seen a few at newegg). I got a Tyan retail box server board for my file server from ZZF. (I hate that new name)
Don't be afraid to shop around online... both ZZF and newegg (I buy parts from them all the time) are great retailers if you live in the US (I know, US centric but you don't specify where you live:-P)
I'm sure your local computer parts store wouldn't mind ordering you one though, for a small fee;-) And I don't work for either company.
I don't know exactly what caused it, and it may not be much of a concern for other people, but the cpu time on my Seti@home units wouldn't increment using a Redhat beta for x86-64, with both the 64- and 32-bit clients. I liked the idea of using a 64-bit Linux distro but if I couldn't get Seti to run correctly on it, I'll just run a 32-bit version for now (Fedora Core 1 currently).
As much as I'd love to support Linux by purchasing a distro, SuSE wants $130 for their AMD64 distribution, which I just can't afford right now. And I'm too much of a noob to build my own from scratch using pure source, so I'll hafta wait.
But anyways, it's exciting to see more AMD64 distros, even if conspiracy theory says that Microsoft keeps delaying because of Intel pressure. I'm very happy with my dual opteron server, and will be even more-so when I can run pure 64-bit Linux.
women = time * money (time and money) Since time = money It follows that women = money * money Since money is the root of all evil, women = sqrt(evil)^2
Indeed. When I got my DSL through AT&T Worldnet (which my parents use for dialup), my dad came over and was impressed with the speed for the price (I got a $19.95 for the first 3 months deal, $39.95 after that for 768/128kbps down/up, which is ok for now). He was close to getting DSL, and if they lower their prices by as little as $5/month he probably WILL get DSL. That and I'd probably upgrade my package to something faster:-)
I just wish they offered higher upstream packages on their non-business lines
Hopefully I get these right. I have them saved in my away messages at home, let's see if I can remember them.

Then you get called a rocket whore, or some other name that implies you use rockets too much, or are cheap.
It's the circle of FPS whining.
This was about a half a year ago. I guess I assumed I wouldn't need a time frame.

What do they care? They get ad banner hits each time you reload to see if the content will show up.

Along the same math vein... Women are evil:
women = time * money (time and money)
Since time = money
It follows that women = money * money
Since money is the root of all evil, women = sqrt(evil)^2
Therefore, women = evil
