...act II. Nice for the prople who fill their hard disks with warezzzz and lesbian porno flicks... or people who want a huge RAID array, but dont need the speed. Or rather, top-of-the line speed.
So, whats the big news here? What beneficial effects do we get fropm using Rabbit Mitochondriae? Hiogher metabolic rate (ie = eat more fast food and not get fat =) ?
I'm Danish, from where I live I can look over to Sweden.
Danish taxes are very like those is Sweden, apart from the fact that we pay a 105 -180% tax on our cars.
The claim that average production workers do not pay income tax is nonsense. It's try that there is a an excemption limit, under which you dont pay taxes (socialist politicians here in Denmark curcumvented that by the way:p) but it's only about 34.000 Dkr (Dkr â 1/6 $). I'm unsure of the swedish bottom limit, but it's not much different, I believe.
The problem of the socalled "welfare" states, is that it does not pay to work. Denmark has a tax level on 50,4% of the GNP, Sweden's is 50,3%. This, however, does not tell the story, that marginal taxes for hig income groups are well above 60% if your income. In short, you are punished for working!
I agree that the US state debt can only be paid off by raising taxes, but to pull out a scandinavian country as a role model is misguided.
Quark is a very arrogant company. They are two years late, have abhorrent licensing terms, screw over their customers, and there's usually lots of bugs in their initial releases.
Plus: InDesign from Adobe has been out for, what? 2 years?
Reading this article, I'm greeted with a huge ad for... Microsoft.
Which pretty well leads to the point I was going to make - Microsoft dominated the softawre industry.
And so does their eternal gobbling up/elimination of companies that actually have innovative products - or product that people actually LIKE.
* Bungie, is the first company that springs to mind. Netscape died at the hands of IE. * Apple and the Mac OS has a knife on the throat thanks to Windows. * BeOS - MS is said to have a finger in the play of Be's funeral tune. * AMD has had numerous plroblems with Windows in teh past. * DRDOS and OS/2 was blatantly sabotaged by Windows software. * QuickTime was sabotaged since Win95b and onwards. * Linux is under judicial threat in teh USm thanks to Microsoft.
And so on.
Who would want to develop innovative commercial products when you're at risk being run over by a steam locomotive, if you get too successful?

So, tell me: What can the state do, that private individuals, organisations or groups cannot do on their own ?
I dont see any of the measures taken against spam so far, being the result of government awareness or initiatives?

Agree - look what Hollywood have done to countless awsome stories and comics. Spiderman? Daredevil ? Lord of the rings ? The Hulk ? X-Men ?
All mediocre - at best.

"Women. Can't live with them.... pass the beer nuts."
...then I'll be happy to enter the upgrade cycle once again.
AGP is clumsy, and PCI exp. is more modular as well. It allows the insane bandwidth og AGP for everything.
And you'll be able to take REAL advantage of 1 Gbps Ethernet - and 10 Gbps once we get that =)
If you want to know what uses pure research can lead to...
Play Alpha Centauri, and find out! =)
'm more musically inclined than Britney Spears and company. I say fuck the "artists"...
Oooh yes, please =)

...that declaring *anything* "dead" is a very risky business indeed?
I've done a brief analysis of the 970 on my website: http://haxor.dk
...can anyone tell me when we ever saw a large-scale switch from Linux to Windows NT?
I dont have problems with my Mac OS X box og Linux.
Then again, security was never Microsoft's forte.
Stock shoot through the roof?
FYI, it fell 30% the last 5 days.
FYI, nullsoft.com has been defaced. On the page is a list of WINAMP related software +, ironically P2P filesharing apps.
But what should I choose if I want and open, platformindependent programming language?
...but the more the country regulates what I'm supposed to and not supposed to do, the more I want to do what I'm not supposed to.
In this case, I'd love to shoot some cops. And politicians. And lawyers. And RIAA henchmen. And Microsoft execs.
Tear down the cities and concrete slum block by block and replace them with Arcologies. Energy effeicient, social, environmental - and no cars.
How about just saying "fsck it!" and giving a whole $ or 50 cents, and saying that whomever is paid, can keep the change?
It's simpler, better and you both get a nice fuzzy feeling in your gut.
This is the second time it's posted. Google News could almost do better than the /. editors.
The Mac's forte has never been performance.
It has been ease-of-use and it's features used in publishing. With OS X, it has the worlds best ease of use, and it's UNIX, too.
Who cares about ±20% performace.
What do you expect from a geek whose introductory piece some years back was in essence, a claim that the PowerPC G3 wasn't a RISC chip?
AT has always had an anti-Apple bias. Only now, they have trouble maintaining it.
Read Michael Crichton's "Prey".
