The per seat cost at retail is about what you would expect to pay per seat with a large volume purchase from MS. Wonder how much Novell is willing to bargain for volume purchases. I also wonder how strong their support team is. I have to say that it's expensive to call MS, and often time consuming, but I have never had them fail to resolve an issue.
Give me a replacement for Exchange that has group calandering, shared folders, works seemlessly with Outlook as well as an open client and doesn't have an ugly front end like Groupwise or Notes and I'll be sure to check it out. The truth is there isn't one out there that doesn't cost at least as much as Exchange does. So there is little incentive to go through the expense, pain, and risk of migrating.
he believes is that the goverment should stay out of transactions between private citizens.
Unless the transaction is a marriage contract between two people of the same sex, or payment for an abortion, or anything that happens to disagree with his "conservative values". He's like a Libertarian that stops when his own sensibilities are insulted, which is a dangerous thing because it promotes tyrany of the masses without the evening hand of the government.
I'm more interested in the criminal provisions which are hopefully coming later this week. Taking away all the ill gotten money is just a nice bonus in my book, hopefully keeps anyone from thinking its a legitimate revenue stream. That and it should be easier to use against corporations which are generally very difficult to press criminal charges against.
Not sure about the breaks but I know for sure that my power steering pump is fed off of the accesory belt of my engine. Of course I lost power steering to a dead seal and was still perfectly able to drive my full sized sedan, it just made parking a bit of a chore.
This machine is really not much different to SGI's Altix, except running the AMD processors rather than Intel. This means that although each processor likely runs faster than the ones SGI uses, Cray can't bundle as many together, as AMD hasn't progressed nearly as far on SMP-aware chipsets as Intel.
This is some of the stupidest piles of drivel I have read on slashdot. SGI and Cray both do ALL of the glue logic chips themselves, that's the whole point of buying from them. They don't use the off the shelf chipset, they design their own with the design goal of large scalable systems. Besides Intel uses a shared bus where AMD uses the point to point bus they bought from Compaq which was origionally designed for the Alpha. So if anyone has a scalability lead it's AMD.
Well if you dropped the budget requirement you would seem to be a perfect candidate for an OQO ultra compact PC. It's 4.9*3.4 inches, has a 800*480 display, has a full keyboard, thumb mouse, pen input, scroll wheel, etc. It has Firewire, Bluetooth, 802.11b, and USB built in. It lasts aprox 3 hours on battery. It has a 20GB HDD for storage. The biggest problem for you would be the price, I believe the first generation are around $1800.
3 is so high because I'm involved in the local DJ scene since my brother is a DJ and I'm an occasional VJ. So I get all the free music I want in the electronic genre. Almost all of the stuff I have downloaded off of P2P is rare tracks from imports/remix tapes/etc that I couldn't purchase legally or which were so expensive as to be asinine (the artist isn't getting any of that 1000%+ markup over retail). I'm probably not the music industries target market (I buy maybe 2-3 cd's a year at the most) but I'm also not really their biggest problem either.
Large concentrations of wind power tend to happen where there aren't a lot of power. Nuclear can be placed anywhere (accident planning notwithstanding) because modern designs do NOT dischage waste heat into a body of water, instead they used a closed loop cooling system. Essentially they use a heat pump design in reverse. They do this because thermal discharge from older designs has been proven to have a serious negative impact on aquatic life. Wind is still a good idea because the amount of pollution for their creation is rather small and after they are produced they require little maintenance and no additional pollution output for their design life.
What was a telephone company doing developing UNIX? Well it should be obvious that computers, and specifically multiuser computers, are a major tool for any company that has to do billing for an entire country.
No, the perfect thing to ride at the end of the day is Mantis followed by Raptor on the way out. Both rides are incredibly cool after dark, between the strobes and not being able to see the ground until you get really close it's a VERY different experience from daytime.
The coolest two things I have seen on Gemini were a guy near the back of one train catching a guys hat from the other train, the hat got passed all the way up and handed across to him, and a group of friends passing a blunt back and forth between the cars =)
What the hell are you talking about, it's pissy acceleration. A Ferrari F-40 does 0-60 in 3.4 seconds so I have no doubt that it can hit 70 in another.4 seconds, you don't see drivers passing out all the time. Hell real dragsters do 0-300+ in ~4.5 seconds. The more likely problem is the impulse G's in the first fractions of a second after the LIM's fire up, that could have negative effects on the brain and should be fairly easy to work around by using a slightly longer launch area with something other than LIM's used for the initial acceleration.
Not by a long shot. Cedar Point has the greatest concentration of incredible rides of any park on earth. Beyond that they actually inovate, the Raptor and Mantis were both firsts of their type and then copied by parks all over. Look up almost any coaster enthusiast site and Cedar Point will either be top or damn close to it. The best thing about Cedar Point though is that their "old" rides which rival most other parks centerpieces usually have fairly short lines when they have opened a new one, for instance the year the Millenium Force opened the line for the Magnum XL 200 was only 15 minutes most days!
It's not quite 8', but a customer of mine has an Epson Stylus Pro 10k. It can print almost 4' wide prints up to 1000' long (if you have the patience and money for ink, it only does 25 sq ft per hour at max res and eats ink tanks). Max res is 1440*720. I've been looking for something great to print since their prepress dept head has offered to print a couple things for me for doing such a good job on a backup problem they were having.
I doubt they paired it with ANY optics, or if they did I doubt many will be bought with the kit. Most pro's are very particular about their lenses and most have lenses that cost at least as much as this camera will in body form.
Offset press's are typically 1200dpi/100lpi so a 11"*17" tabloid size publication uses ~270MP for a full page graphic! That's pretty insane. I guess we have a ways to go before perfect capture is achieved =)
Dude if one strand of DNA being damaged were enough to cause cancer higher organisms would have never evolved. DNA is highly self repairing and the vast majority of cells that have sufficient damage to cause mutations are destroyed due to self regulation. Without constant exposure to large amounts of carcinogens the vast vast majority of people will not develop cancer. Most cancers are caused by smoking and suntanning, people who avoid those activities are fairly unlikely to develop cancer.

I'm pretty sure their banned in the U.S. Every european site I have found them for sale at has specifically said that they will not mail them to the U.S. And it's been that way since before 9/11 so it's not some new anti-terrorism law.
Sounds like the format should also specify a device profile spec like icc that allows the post processor to take the profile and use it as a transformation for the image along with the paramters set from the metadata.
Pro's don't like to use JPEG because JPEG doesn't allow the level of post processing that RAW does. Hell Canon RAW's include a normal quality JPEG as part of the RAW image for faster previews.
There's no magic to making the 848 n-way system compatible, the bus architecture is 4 way compatible from the outset. The difference is that they are charging a premium for their server class chip, just like Intel does with the Itanium. I agree that a system throughput benchmark would definitly be enlightening if you could find two systems with exactly matching subsystems for the same or similar prices. Unfortunatly I am not aware of any manufacturer that has two lines that closely aligned as it would be pointless from a marketing perspective, the two chips are generally targeted at different customer segments and hence have vastly different surrounding components.
Actually some of the pipeline steps on the P4 are there specifically for signal propogation.
The P4's basic pipeline was the first one that I'd ever seen that included drive stages. These drive stages are there solely to handle shuttling signals across the chip's wires. They keep signal propagation times from limiting the clock speed of the chip, and they're one of the factors in making the P4's clock speed so scalable.
Since heating oil costs a whole 2% more per BTU than natural gas this year and has a much lower install cost it's pretty popular in areas without the sunk infrastructure costs. Not only that but domestic production is already spoken for so increased use of natural gas would require increased infrastructure for importation. Cost figures obtained here.
Why are you so willing to scrap a system just because of a couple of kinks? Either have patience, or encourage your legislature to fix it.
Uh, my legislature DID fix it by passing the FOIA. The purpose of the law was specifically to stop petty beurocrat's from hoarding their little corner of information. Cogress correctly figured that a more transparant government is a more responsive and efficient government.
