I've had my fan die before. I could only tell because a sick stench began pouring out of the power supply about an hour after it had stopped. I immediatly turned it off, hit it, and it was fine after that. Dust is a major concern, but just general life will cause fans to begin to fail I think.. I think a solution might be hard to find, as most would require a temperature check. But there's probably a power difference when the fan stops, so it might be easy to just put in a fuse that would break the power supply if the fan stopped. Of course, this would mean crashing the computer... but perhaps at the cost of saving your power supply/not having a fire it might be worth it..
Sue all of us? Have fun with that. I can't even count the number of people... and only sueing the "big fishes" isn't really going to solve anything, I'm pretty sure many "little fishes" will just fill the gap. Isn't that the idea behind P2P anyways? No large FTP sites, just many users with perhaps a few files.
You missed my point. I don't have a problem with Microsoft, but if they release a Linux version then they're going to just try to monopolise it. Personally, I like debian, redhat, slackware, the many choices... I'd rather they stay with what they're doing, and leave the open sourcers to themselves.
It's a linux expo? I mean, I have nothing against Microsoft, but I'm pretty damn sure they don't have a linux distrobution (God forbid the day of a "Microsoft Linux"). Anyways, I guess they're just going to try to show the competition.... but that makes absolutely NO sense because, again, it's a LINUX EXPO.
No doubt that web applications are now becomming the more mainstream. However, if that was the case (ie. having to make a web application and not being able to use server side scripting) then I think that.NET would be my choice over Java.
Because Microsoft is trying to drop Java, and Sun isn't driving it as hard as it used to, I personally don't view Java as a viable solution for web development anymore. Java had it's place, but I think it's no longer fast enough for current practices. I think PHP or another webside language/scripting language would be more beneficial at this point than using Java, and certainly easier to intereface with XML from what I've seen. In fact, with HTML servers these days there's already native XML/XSLT support, making server side scripting/applications not even needed in some cases.
Wasn't the BSA the ones cracking down on the huge warez a few years back on IRC? This seems odd... the cable companies are doing it to stop the mass amounts of warez (and pr0n/mp3) from being transferred, that would indirectly help a lot of those companies (ie. less pirating of Windows)...
It just seems weird that now all of a sudden they're more interested in keeping people online with unlimited bandwidth...
What the hell. If we bought an xbox we should be able to do whatever we want with it. That includes modding it to do something else.
If i buy a calculator that doesn't mean i cant rip it apart and use the LCD for something else... this whole "no i dont want you ripping games thing" is getting ridiculous. So you stop me from modding my xbox... for what, 5 minutes? P2P fixes that, or i just grab the PC versions of the game... either way, i don't pay anything.
All they need to do is install quake and benchmark it. That or use quake as the intereface to "use" the robots... which in reality just means make them kill things.
ASP (VBScript):
There's no CEIL function, or FLOOR function
There's no way to dynamically include files
When comparing a.MoveNext with an original in a recordset they for some reason return true (?), they're not even the same type, it should just return an error.
ASP in general is just horrible... I really wish I could just PHP instead..
Hasn't everyone been building their computers? The only one i ever bought was our first 386 one, but i didnt know about computers back then.
Ever since i've built every computer i've owned.. there's always local stores, it takes 2 seconds to go and visit them.
I'm not sure why you'd buy it over the net when stores have them... and, i'm surprised someone was buying built ones! Actually it might be cheaper in some cases, but you never know what you're exactly getting, or you're not getting exactly what you want.
What were you thinking? This is a horrible thing to do, why do they care so much whether or not macromedia uses their damned "tabbed pallets" or whatever. Flash on it's own is not that bad, and has brought us many.. well.. not great, but sometimes funny "internet jokes of the week". I don't even know how much money flash is making for macromedia.. I'm pretty sure adobe is making an ass out of themselves for doing this; I mean, they don't even have any sort of "rival product" for flash.
is someone, from the human race mind you, creating these bloody things. I mean, how could you do that? Didn't they realize what they were doing, the annoying havoc that they were about to unleash upon the world? It's like setting off a nuke, only the nuke just sits there poking you incessantly until you click on their goddamn wares.
We should keep this quiet. If advertisers figure it out, we'll get even more pop up windows, crammed with more crap than ever before, because it'll be cheaper. Keep them using bitmaps! Or Gifs even!
... Ok i don't think you used it. Back orifice would sweep blocks of IPs for someone who had it installed, so you could "REMOTE ADMIN" it, in other words, GET THEIR PASSWORDS. Very handy for dialup access accounts (when they were popular)
They made back orifice. I'm pretty sure I didn't "learn" anything, or get any more "free rights" from using. All I got was passwords which allowed me to cause havoc on the net. I think the wrong people are representing "hackers"..
That people are learning so quickly on computers. Perhaps it's the missing link in quick education, we could probably educate the "ghetto" areas very quickly then. I'd be interested in seeing a learning curve for teachers vs. computers, and in self-learning vs. independant. Perhaps practical education is MUCH better than being taught, which would show that our education system is very unefficient...
Yes, your mastery of the english language is a feat which none can top. We'll forever be in your debt for correcting the small mistakes which plagued my post. Go now! Hunt for the spelling mistakes! Jesus Christ, I never knew such people existed.
Ya, and here's the other thing.
If you GO to these webpages, wouldn't you be going to GET warez? Why would you remove your source of getting the files?
Track down all the anonymous owners of GeoCities sites which are just mirrors for pirated files? Ya, good luck there, not even geocities can close them as fast as they open.

But even going from ATA100 to ATA133 with a 7,200RPM drive, there's a speed increase (granted not very large).
But if there are speed increases from just upping the bus, then perhaps increasing the RPM isn't necessary as much yet.
I do agree though, we need faster spinning drives now if we really want better speed... or maybe just huge ram drives
