Exactly. The whole point of a benchmark is to help determine real world performance, not to get some artifically generated 'performance number' so you can be higher than your friends. 3D Mark has some great eye candy, but after this I wouldnt use them as a benchmark any more, just for recreation.:)
If 1 TB is only going @ 120 K / sec, it doesnt cost anything. We have a full T1, and there are no bandwidth restrictions on it at all. Other than the obvious 1.544 mb
but realistically a $1000 laptop would be a pretty useless machine by most standards
$799 for a 2 Ghz celeron w/ CD-RW, 128 megs RAM, 20 gig HDD, and XP home From Dell
They are cheaper and faster than ever now, and that is far from useless!!:)

No its not, dont ever download a cam, get a screener. Or just get a copy that was played on a digital projector and was hooked into a PC's line in.:)

And I hope they realize, that if they didnt have that long, drawn out, STUPID love scene that made no sense and seemed slapped into the ccenter of the movie for no reason at all, maybe they could have pulled a PG 13.:P
I have cracked 'secure' wep's in a matter of hours, and the more traffic going over the network, the easier it is. All you need is about a gig of traffic, and blamo, wep key in shining black letters right in front of you. I'm sorry guys, beaming a signal through the air is not secure (as shown by the amazing security from the satelite TV companies, I think we have all had a h card at some point, or other varients)
The only problem I have ever had with wired lines is bad planning. Providing you know where your workstations are going to go, and how you plan on growing, wires are just fine and MUCH faster!!:)
True, it is nicer when its free. Consider this: Any large enough organization / company, when threatened, will react just like a human body will. The white blood cells (the lawyers, PR folk, advertisers, etc) will rush to the scene of the problem and try like mad to fix it. The body does not care that it might be GOOD for you, the white blood cells still rush there. Maybe it is time for this business model to die! What is basically happeninng is that a decades old business model is being threatened by newer digital technology. These huge companies can no more change their main focus than I could mutate to breath CO2, it just isnt going to happen. They are going to survive for a long while yet, but it will be a painful death, and they will go down fighting. But they will go down.:P
Sorry about the crazy analygy, just made sense to me and thats what matters, right?:)
There is a differencce between badmouthing and removing the comment. If I though that admin's were going to remove politically incorrect comments, I dont think I would come here any more. Those comments are half the fun!:)
I am? Seems to me/. is all about communication in all its forms. If you try and limit what can go on./, it wont be the same. You gotta do the same as everyone else, set your preferences to weed out the crap and wade through the rest.:)
Thats the first thing I did was see it in the theatre. You know, every movie that looks to be worth it, I have went and seen. I think the movie industry wants to blame P2P'ers for their lack of 'estimated growth', but I think they are just making shitty movies. Good ones I have no problem paying for, or seeing 2 times (lord of the rings), but I will still download it later.:P And no worries, its allready 1/2 way complete.
Come one nerds, at least leave the house for something!
Thats the best tiem to download! Queue up some files in kazaa lite K++ edition (south park ep, star trek ep, matrix reloaded, family guy ep) then head to work. Come home and watch exactly what I want instead of wading through the 40 crap stations in your cable 'package' to find the 2 decent shows that are on, only to have to watch dumbass commercials every 10 minutes! Cmon, if I PAY for cable, get rid of the damn ad's!
and all you end up with is a full hard drive and a jerky video
A 120 gig hdd, and I have every south park ep, at least 4 seasons of Star Trek TNG, and probably 30 movies, and they play smooooth as silk, and I can dump them over wireless to a living room PC w/ TV out and its just the same as watching a movie from TV or VHS. You cant argue with free, can you?:P
Its called a 'Credit Card' or even a debit card for those who dont like / cant handle a credit card. Its all tracked, big brother can find your spendding habits, and it ccan be deactivated if its stolen! Just get credit everywhere (McDonalds, I'm talkin to you) and everyone will be all set.
OK, anyone can make a sword, but its how you USE that sword that matters. If you hold and accept a sword strike properly you can direct the force along the strong side of the sword. If you have someone's blade strike the flat of your sword with enough force, its just going to snap. While the process helps, its not ALL how the sword is made, its the user too.:)
Or you could write a script that randomized names / histories / addresses and return email addresses, then set it to send out like 500 an hour.:) Ohh, that would be wicked, they would have no way of telling real apps from fake ones flooding in... and they would have to keep them all.. and thats a "Very Bad thing" (tm)
while legacy has something to do with it, the 100% uptime (with voluntary IPL's) of our iSeries mainframe is very compelling.
Here's the scenario: A hdd fails, the system automatically calls IBM and a tech is dispatched the same day. I get paged, and meet a tech at the front door.
IBM Tech I heard you have a drive failure here
Me I do??
IBM Tech No problem, I have a drive right here, it will only take a second to swap it out
He swaps out said drive, zero down time, and nary a performance hit because a hot spare came online. You have got to love that kind of service and uptime, and just plain reliability.
Dude, re-watch the first few seasons, Smokin hot. And the whole love spell thing gone bad, Buffy is like a uber horny crazed blonde in a tiny skirt?? Woohooo!:) She got a lot thinner in the later seasons, but looked darn good the first few out!:)
This program is great, you can mark new spam, and its added to their spam database to be filtered for everyone else. It auto-updates when you load outlook, and is very un-obtrusive. It simply moves spam to a 'Spam' folder in outlook, which you can clear whenever you want. Very reccomended, I like it!:)
