I'm one of those people too. Five PCI slots total. Sound, Network, RAID, and TV Tuner. Only the one next to the AGP slot is free. I fugure a good number of people fill up their PCI slots, thats what they're there for after all.
If fiber networks and switches become common in office enviroments then system bus's and hard drive speeds had better improve too. No hard drive can fill a 1000bT connection and the 266 meg per second limit of the PCI bus makes any fiber connection to a PC useless even if the file is comming out of ram. Sure fiber is great for network backbones but its overkill for an individual PC.
While I see the humor in your comment, and you are right, he does have a point. Win2k/XP boxes are quite secure once you configure them properly as long as you don't use certain software on them. *cough*ISS*cough* The problem is that compaired to *nix relativly few users know how to secure their systems. Windows falls victim to its own design in the respect that it is desiged so that people can use it without much knowledge of the internal workings of the system. So you get lots of people who know just enough to use it but nowhere near enough to secure it properly who promptly run around the net with unsecured boxs by the thousands. Linux requires the user to learn more about the inner workings of the system and as such that user is better equiped to secure his or her box. Linux's steeper learning curve makes it inherently more secure by creating a more knowledgable user base. While windows's ease of use creates an inherently more ignorant, and thus less secure, user base. Sure IE's integration into explorer doesn't help, and neither does Outlook's idiotic attachment handling but its actually the primary goal of the windows design team, ease of use, that is windows's greatest flaw. Without a knowledgable user, no OS is really all that secure. Although the security minded way that *nix is designed does help it quite a bit.
And I thought it was better than the first one. It was darker and had more action and was hence much cooler IMHO. There were even a couple of times when it scared me out of my seat. (I'm 20 by the way.) I haven't read any of the books but when I got back after seeing the second movie I went and got all four on audio tape. I've already listened to the third book and I think its going to make a much better movie than this one did, and I can't wait till it comes out. The only thing that bugged me was the fact that I couldn't shake the feeling that Gilderoy Lockhart was a rip off the Great Saya Man from Dragonball Z (Videl's dad). All in all, a great film, even better than the first.
My friend has an HP Pavillion xt926 with a Fujitsu hard drive in it. That thing gave her no end of problems. We had to pull it out of the machine on a daily basis and put it in my machine to correct file system errors caused by bad sectors that kept her machine from booting. When she finally called HP about it they said it was a common problem and replaced her whole system for free. They were very eager to keep it quite and make her happy, aparently they use the same hard drives in many of there low end server platforms. The machine was running Win2k with NTFS and worked perfectly after they replaced it.
Or you can simply figure out to produce energy without all that tedious muckinug about with fossil fuels. Fusion power or orbital power recievers come to mind. *holds up a cup of water* Look, ma! Power for eveybody!
Actually natural volcanic activity in the past 24 hours has already resulted in far more greenhouse gasses than all of humanity for the same period of time. So tuning up the heat if your house really doesn't affect things much.
The Titanic didn't have modern sonar. Good sonar can not only tell the exact direction and distance of the iceberg but can also map the contours of its surface. Sure sonar like that is expensive but whats a few hundred thousand dollars for sonar equipment when the new route will save you a few million?
I... I believe... I believe you have my stapler.... I was told I could have a stapler of a reasonable size under the grandfather clause of the new company policy... I was told that.... I.... thats the last straw....
Actually I just flashed mine and it kept all my settings. Port forwarding, IP address, subnet mask, all of it. I feel I should mention that I was unable to flash the firmware from linux. Mozilla simply didn't upload the file containing newer firmware (I have no clue why) and when I tried to use Konqueror it got about halfway through the update process when the router reported a "pattern error" in the binary file and aborted the upgrade. So I booted to Win2k and ran their little update program and it flashed it just fine. Although I did have to turn off the Proxomitron.
I wonder if they tested it with IE 5.0, 5.5, or 6.0? If they only tested it with one, does the certification apply to systems running the other versions? I doubt it seeing as updating IE updates portions of the OS too. Some places don't let users install newer versions of IE without extensive testing first.
How about water mist? Thousands of tiny water droplets could eaisly refract the beam all over the place. Sure it would vaporise the water, but that would just make more smaller droplets which would still refract the beam. It would basically make a cloud of water vapor, which is one of the hardest things for a laser beam to get through. How hard could it be to spray water mist around a vehicle or other potential target with a sprinkler system? I think it will end up being just as it has always been with the armor vs firepower thing all through history.
We usually try to avoid "Site X Hacked!" stories, but since this affects so many people - and, heh-heh, they don't have anywhere else to talk about it - here you go.
You can tell he really enjoyed posting that. He enjoyed that way too much. I just see the smirk on his face.
It wouldn't suprise me at all if this was an attempt to get more people to use cell phones. The phone companies make more money off of cell phones compaired to your average land line per month. Cell to cell calls are often coverd by special minute deals. Plus then there will be more people to spam with text messages about special offers.
Flat panel monitors are like what laptops use, they are flat. Flat screen monitors are CRTs that have a flat front. (ie: the piece of glass on the front is flat and not bent like a lense)

Thats why you put it on a board that has the newer AMD760MPX chipset. Its faster that way.

Actually they spend a lot of there time living in Greenland and Canada. They may have to change their migration patterns a bit, but not much.

What if your brower doesn't ever send referer headers? How does the system cope with that? Or do simply pass through without voting?
Well, since the link in the story is dead you can all look at my room if you want. It's not particulary interesting, but it is a geek's room.

So..... which one of you will be too busy watching hent^H^H^H^H^H anime to spend time with the other?
Then why don't you try OpenOffice for your .doc files and Evolution for your 5 years worth of mail?
I upgraded from 1.42.7 to 1.43

$50 per butterfly so in the end it will probably be several hundred dollars total. Still, it will be much less than the cost of a single TV ad.
