Doesn't the pentium 4 and most CPU's nowadays have at least some elements of asynchronous logic? And I'm pretty sure that certain circuits in most current CPU's are implemented asynchronously.
Isn't this the same as having a CPU without a timer? (i.e. no MHz/GHz rating).

Can't anyone get the latest beta release from kernel.org?

The latest beta version of the Linux kernel is: 2.5.44 2002-10-19 04:10 UTC F V Changelog
It seems to me that open source nowadays is all about screwing over each other.
Red hat wants a unified desktop, KDE doesn't like that idea, what a bunch of crybabies. Maybe if they had put in the work to become the standard desktop for Linux everyone would be happy... but then again Gnome is pretty damn cool.
KDE and Red hat are both playing in the open source playground, however KDE should realise they can't take their ball and go home, because of the licence they CHOSE to realise their work under.
No, the bandwidth cap is on any data we download that is not from a set of specified servers (read: server's attached to the company you use for broadband).
We still have to put up with a bandwidth cap which makes content on demand a joke for us.
If they offered it for free, then we wouldn't be able to download other copyright material (read: mp3's) with the limited bandwidth we have.
I'd be more inclined just to purchase the dvd, for several reasons... number 1 of which is that dvd would be of higher quality (with surround sound). Harry Potter made really good use of surround sound IIRC, especially in the game they play. (Sorry I bought it for my nephew and had to watch it with him so don't remember too much) Cribbage? I dunno.
Fonts have never really been a strongpoint in Linux, Linux users have generally relied upon the kindness of Microsoft for the free download of their fonts, however these have been tricky to install at best.
This should make it possible to steal fonts from windows just that little bit easier, now we just need some GPL fonts:p
That's so very cool, I can just imagine the looks of envy of all my friends if I took one of those to a LAN.
However I find that the main problem with going to LAN's is lugging a 17" monitor around, the case isn't really that big an issue. Of course having a smaller case that weighs less is always good.
I guess I'd rather spend my money on a TFT screen before one of these though.
I'm curious now, about the formation of other moon's within our solar system.
If we assume that earth's moon was created by the collision of earth and another planet, can we assume that other moon's were created by similar collisions. If the other moon's were created by the accretion of smaller bodies, why didn't they collide with the planets which they are orbiting?
Sadly, so do I. I'm not exactly "well off" but I still manage to buy music that I like, in fact if someone created a website where you could paypal/other online payment direct to an artist for their music I'd more than likely use it. I'd donate $2 to any artist when I downloaded one of their songs at a high enough quality), kinda makes producing good music a bigger incentive.
A$2 * 3 (on average 3 good songs per decent artist's cd) = A$6 which is more than they probably get from a record company.
Hence my opinion that if an artist makes good music/record companies only sign good artists, then they get my money. I'm not going to go and buy an album from a one hit wonder, no matter how good that one hit was... I don't buy cd singles either.
Wireless lan technology is still in it's infancy, the thing is that people are more interested in hacking/cracking wireless networks than protecting them at the moment. That will change as people realise how insecure the default settings are.
Heh. I have about 1700 mp3's... I have about ~60-70cd's.
Most of the mp3's I have been ripped off a cd. In saying that, I do download a fair few mp3's off of p2p networks, the only reason that stops me buying their cd is that I only like that song from their album.
I actually need to go through and deleted a ton of crud mp3's off my hard drive. On average my xmms/winamp playlists are about ~50-60 songs... I may have a load of mp3's but most I don't listen to regularly enough to warrant buying an album (I only pull em out every so often when I'm in a funny mood).
I do buy cd's just the other week I bought A$200 worth (that week's pay packet) of cd's. 8 cd's for $200. I have put 6 of those into my "don't listen regularly" box. I bought 3 cd's that I had downloaded songs from the net of, 2 of those are kept in my collection. The other 6 weren't worth my hard earned dollars.
Only problem with that is that the actual "poison" client is doing the checksum, so they can just browse to the same website, and set that checksum as being the one to return.
If for example, the company/person poisoning the p2p network was going for an "extreme" kind of attack, they could have their client respond to all searches with a filename that looks similar to the one searched for.
This would make p2p networks a pain when their are legitimate uses for them.
If they were just going to spam song names/artists with false files, then it would make it kinda hard to download songs. p2p networks are however an awesome source of advertising, so if I like a song that I download I'll download another couple and if I like them also I'll buy said artist's cd.
Of course, if I get frustrated with downloading said artist's cd I'd probably just not bother.
It seems to me that record companies in particular like to waste money to destroy something that IMO increases sales.
Why is it that companies want to put computers into everything nowadays?
I mean, my brother has a washing machine from LG that is pretty cool, it doesn't play Mp3's but it does add functionality (i.e. it determines the size of load etc). But when you start talking about fridges that can play mp3's/display calender's etc... that is getting a bit overboard.
Personally I'd rather listen to mp3's on a proper stereo with nice speakers that can reproduce sound well.
Sure it can do other things, but we can do them already albeit with much older technology in use, for example: leaving messages for other family members can be done with a pen and paper.
I shudder to think at the cost of this monstrosity.

I somehow doubt it is broadband's killer app.

If you were going to create the "ultimate reference on web development" out of books you've read... what would you include?
These designers must have had cost as a key design goal.

cause we all know that the security guys viewing this would be looking at the woman in the red dress.
