Hate too sound like a troll but I am trying too reistall my mac becuase it destroyed two hours of work the other day from a kernel panic. Oh well, once in 6 months too a year isn't bad right?
They are graphic designers who wanted something too just work in a familiar setting. It is a *nix OS with a nice interface. Poor performance, but awsome tech support and familiar interface. If they can train themselves on how too use it instead of getting a Linux or MS boxen and hiring someone too admin it full time... I would've made the same decision.
This guy knows what he is talking about. Print services can be a bitch. MS, gah, chose a messy protocol and hasn't improved it much. I am assuming you have a small IT staff? Ad-hoc printing set-up? You could have extreme amounts of print server traffic.
You should also try VLANing different departements out. It helps keeps problems isolated, increases security, and lowers the broadcast traffic across the entire domain so it can increase spead.
Which is really lame since the native CoreVideo API will do the same thing, which is why there are a thousand other apps that will code everything that Quicktime does. Even so, TFA said they got FFmpeg and another opensource video encoder/decoder. There is also a tiny, one line, hack to change it from regular to pro, no serial needed.
Hopefully this is a general trend for the industry. Maybe everyone will start using these techniques that have been available since the early 70's. Maybe instead of designing from the seat of the their pants they will start testing their interfaces just like we do with all software.
This isn't hard. Usability labs like this aren't necessary. I only have to sit any member of my immediate family down, my parents friends, co-workers, etc. to get an idea. Maybe more serious testing needs specialised workers but by no means do we need these specialised facilities.
If you want a cool way to benchmark in terms of speed, acuracy, and rate of habituation try GOMS. No testers needed. (For those who know about GOMS, please clean that article up. I haven't had time.)
I _need_ one of those, oh wait, RTFA, not regular tansducer. Fuck, oh well. At least the industrial ones are cheap. And according to my audio friend they are about the equal to real transducers as Ghetto blasters. That's okay, it's just for movies anyway.
Okay, everybody now- The reason the the Optical format won out was it was cheaper and stored more than larger than the cartridge. Instant load times kicked ass, better graphics, nicer controllers, but for developers easier environment and cheaper production won out.
*Cough Cough* troll *Cough Cough* The security on both of them is almost identical. HD-DVD will aparently not have region encoding, something few _consumers_ will notice.
Ahh, finally people understand my point! I keep telling people the reason I am not in college is becuase I am allergic to homework. I break in hives, it's awful!
While meltdowns are a rather remote danger given todays nuclear power plant designs I worry about waste contamination. There are already plenty of Russian nuclear subs sitting in the ocean. They have cracks, which water gets into, which freezes, which increases the size of the crack. How do they plan to make sure the waste transfers are 300% safe and what happens to this thing if the economy dies again? It's a lot easier to pull a sub on land than a large scale power plant. Think removing oil from the water is tough?
Why the OS X port is so unstable bothers me. That's not the only OS X port localization problem.
When are we getting a spell checker and real download que?
No, it's that they specifically manipulate news to press ahead the _far_ right wing agenda. They spin and blatently lie. We shouldn't be covering anyone's ass for Katrina, let alone blindly defending the president, saying that the people are better off being "evacuees," we are doing too much for them, or using it to press issues like allowing the christian church back into schools. And this is just the latest major issue.
Not that I don't mind crazy people who think God talks to them (i.e. Pat Robertson) being treated as respected commentators, I do, "[Homosexuals] want to come into churches and disrupt church services and throw blood all around and try to give people AIDS and spit in the face of ministers."- Pat Robertson. I don't mind the extreme right having their views represented, but only the far right and having total crazies like Pat without any other representation from the middle ground people like me or the left is not okay for a news station.
BTW, did you watch the show? I understand the term "liberal media" but please understand that it is liberal subconsiously. They try and have both sides equally represent themselves. Whereas fox stuffs only with republicans vs conservative or weak democrats. Nor do most other networks violate many of the other values of good journalism.
Try geting your news source from several fronts, right and left and some middle. I think the Christian Science Monitor is probably the last best well balenced international news paper.
We just had an article on this. There was a shootout by NIST. At least I think,/. search engine blows, hard. Either way, here a link to the tests.
This is one that wasn't covered by the tests, so I guess its front page news.
More plausable is that it would use it for backbone to major areas. This would avoid paying a telco for the same service. The final mile, block, whatever would just be handled by local carriers or a possible Google WiFi connection.

Where's the movie for this? Was there really no cameras rolling?
No no, Jigga Man
Wow, have you actually ever used Maya? Or any digital video software?

And they aren't flinching about it. I am still getting 900K/sec.
Holy shit, I just averaged 1.1 megs a second download! They are going too be hurting after this.

They smell like urine, the whole bathroom does. It's not too bad though.

Fox News!
Couldn't you say this about every /. story?
Trolls are supposed to use thte Anonymouse option. Especially uncreative ones.
We just had an article on this. There was a shootout by NIST. At least I think, /. search engine blows, hard. Either way, here a link to the tests.

This would fit in with their buying of 40 percent of Samsung's second finanical half output of flash memory.
Even a 1 gig phone with my iPod would be pretty nice. Now if only they used allofmp3.com instead of the iTunes music store.
