The problem there is with AC you have a chance of surviving if you get a shock.. DC on the over hand is a direct current and will cook you literally unlike AC which will shock you away from the source.
You just know that there gonna go with computer based cinema.. and you just know there gonna run it on windows98.. oh I cant wait to see my first 50foot bsod >:P
I disagree, I left school with no qualifications what so ever, I was a part time mechanic and dislectic to boot, then one-day I moved out from my family and got connected to the internet(I had been using computers along time before hand but not much more than for games), ever since then I have managed to do things that would never have been possible if I had followed an educated path, becuase I could never get far in an educated path, learning to teach myself is the greatest thing I ever figured out.
Look at school/college/uni's they have the same program of learning, cram in as many facts as possible, take an exam, pass, and forget about em.. wtf did anyone learn from doing that? they learned to be the arseholes in society that judge people on there grades, spelling, but never once bothered to ask "can you do the job?".

Sorry for this being OT, and also sorry I have to bring it up here.. but I dont just want to email CmdrTaco and comlain about the fact he dosnt understand what linux is.. no offense and this is NOT flamebait even though ive been accused of it on my first post..
Linux is a KERNEL, NOT an OS, *please* can you make this clear on your website.. Linux is just a component that is 99% of the time intergrated into a GNU system of components.. even if you said GNU/Linux on your site Id be happy.. but thats just me.. I dont know if anyone will agree with me but its correct for me to point out that you have missunderstood linux in your discription on your website..
Allot of people develope software under the GNU including myself.. its unfair to them to have to carry on losing credit to Linux...
Again this is not a flambite, I and Im sure others would like this cleared up, its bad enough the press get it wrong all the time let alone a/.'er.
good points, I was just thinking about indexing on a large db, if its all done in memory then in theory you should be able to benifit from added computational power..
MySQL however is as said very i/o intensive more than nething, so maybe that was a shit example.. I guess my ideas where floored.. but then I cant help but think that there are possibilitys out there.. somwhere..anywhere?
I think you missed my point, I didnt mean just slap a fat heatsink on it and wedge it into a socket7.. I ment why not work with the architecture and intergrate(not the soldering kind)parts of the architecture your need to allow things like tss, gdt, idt, pageing stuff etc.. to it. I know its far fetched but I dont see anyreason why its not possible.. apart from it would cost a fair bit to fab.
I have an old 3dx card.. armed with nasm I know somone that has written in the past a calculator that used this card, I have also had ideas about patching mysql to use it for indexing.. has anyone else done this? i.e. with a 3dfx, GeForce.. etc..? is anyone interested in starting some form of group to look into the possibilitys of patching high end software like mysql and apache to take advantage of such hardware?
just base a pc on a series of these cards instead of wasting time waiting for intel to develope the 986 or whatever.. surly it cant be *that* hard to take these chips and modify them for general pc usage.. it feels like the actual cpu in pc's these days are bottle necks for these ultra fast cards..
I live with a house mate that loves optimised coding.. along with this he cant stand adding code just to to simple sanity checks.. now this bloke was gonna get a job with some government missile development base....:/
I dont see how you can justify speed over reliability to such an extent.. are there lots of you kinda coders out there?

erm.. what was that? in English.
I think your find it costs about 5cents for a box of popcorn.. 4.5cents of that is the cost of the packaging... no shit.
Ill take that as meaning you havnt figured it out yet then?
You just know that there gonna go with computer based cinema.. and you just know there gonna run it on windows98.. oh I cant wait to see my first 50foot bsod >:P
u keep dead troll's at home? ergh.
I heard about this years ago... why talk about it now? if your a /.'er and didnt know this then wtf are you doing here?
also you can use a redirect i.e.
cat >file
control+c
which I find much better for knocking out multi line text when I dont have an editor.

armed with nasm.. ok.. what about "using nasm"?..
