-GigE See it all the time, guess your network just sucks =)
-Postscritp Almost all decent laser printers support it

-Keyboards with power buttons -Half the keyboards out there have these today, I just hate the crappy ones that put them in the middle of the insert block =(
Infiniband dead?!?! It only powers the third most powerfull supercomputer on earth, of course it's use as a desktop bus is dead but I'm not sure anyone ever thought it would be used for that. I mean the spec just screams cluster fabric to me =)
While I expect that an officer may come by, and may even question me, I also expect that I am under no obligation to answer their questions. If we make it an absolute right of people under arrest to remain silent and routinely throw out evidence from police questioning before the suspect is Marandized then why should I not expect at least as much protection as a citizen who has not even been accused of any crime?!?! If the police officer has no other reason to hold the person refusing to answer their questions then they should set them free as it is our basic right not to be held without cause.
Unfortunatly that statute of the origional social security act (a statute which I might add was a requirement for getting the law passed) was repealed by Congress some years ago. So now the government is free to use the SSN as the foreign key to link all their database records =(
The don't need to make new law they just have to say that requiring ID is a violation of the 4th amendment. This court has shown itself to be a VERY big supporter of citizens rights under the 4th amendment RE:Kyllo v. US and others.
Which makes me wonder why someone hasn't done a large scale FOIA request on all the dashcam footage recorded of such incidents all the time. All they need is one person reporting such abuse and a request for the footage.
Not necessarily, it makes Apple a potential takeover target as a low debt to equity ratio can make a company a good choice for a stock leveraged purchase. Of course I don't see anyone going for Apple right now but who knows *shrug*
Exactly! This kind of stuff just kills us people in the field. Hell I spent a couple days last month replacing motherboards with the defective capacitors at one of our clients. This work was done under existing contracts so no additional revenue was recieved, therefore saving a couple pennies on some caps cost them a couple tens of thousands of man hours nationwide for just that one client.
Considering that OpenBSD is listed I DON'T think it's only the GPL which is the problem. Then again it may just be that Theo ran into someone even more stubornheaded then he is =)
No, they THINK they have a case. They have come up with some assanine interpretation of copyright law whereby the believe that anything that was once integrated with the SysV source is somehow controllable by them. This is the biggest stretch of derivitive work anyone has ever attempted and will ultimatly be shot down. If it's not then by extension anything that hooks into an OS is supposedly controllable by the OS vendor, so MS can stop driver writers from using any of their windows driver code to write drivers from other platforms, Veritas can't port their filesystems between OS's, etc. It's assinine and the industry would basically implode if it were reality.
What I don't understand is why all the talk about percieved value and expected selling prices for institutional investors. If Disney is worth more than its current street price to these institutional investors then why hasn't the stock actually reached that valuation? Is Disney worth more in the hands of some other company than as an independant entity? I mean if the information in the system is that Disney is worth $35 then that should be the price of the stock, if the investors are saying they won't sell unless they make a certain profit and they do not expect other bidders then the people invested in their funds should throw them out because any profit is better than no profit.
Uhhh, the origional was MUCH bigger, you think I'm going to post that to slashdot?!?! Besides the anti-counterfit technology picks out the bills by calculating the distance between the dots (in the case of that note the green circles within the wreath shape), that's how it works across so many different notes from multiple countries, they defined a standard anti-counterfit measure specifically targeted at consumer software (both boxed and embedded like firmware).
Because there are obvious non-counterfit uses for pictures of currency? One of my favorite examples is this photo from dpchallenge.com. Besides the banks should start worrying about the MUCH larger problem of identity theft which affects orders of magnitude more people every day then counterfiting. Something as simple as requiring all credit cards to have a photo of the owner which is also encoded on the magnetic stripe would go a LONG way towards eliminating it.
Considering that only RH AS/ES and United Linux are listed as supported Oracle Linux platforms I REALLY don't think it would be a good idea to try to run a production system on Debian. Yes they will still support the DB on other flavors of Linux but if you run something other than the supported platforms then Oracle has an automatic out for any problem that they can reasonably point at the OS for.
Sorry but the question poster is talking about a VERY high volume OLTP operation, no one in their right mind would use MySQL in such an environment. There are only two choices for such an environment, Oracle and DB2, anything else is just being stupid. IBM supports DB2 on a pretty wide range of linux distro's but Debian isn't one of them. For a large enough client they might sell a support contract for a non-listed environment (since some of those systems listed are fairly oddball I assume that's how they got on there). Btw locking and dumping a table is NOT an option in a real 24x7 OLTP environment.
A big problem is that benchmarks measure AVERAGE fps, on complex scenes a card which looks fine at 60fps on average scenes may momentarily bog down well below the 24-30fps needed for the appearance of smoothness. That's why I like benchmarks that include MINIMUM fps because it gives me a good idea if the video will occassionally get jerky.
Old moon?
My 1.2Ghz Athlon has an ISA slot on the mobo, I use it to controll my SCSI Ricoh CDRW and Toshiba CDROM, buying a new controller would have cost me money for no gain in performance.
So your saying that my general practicioners $100+K/year malpractice insurance isn't a major problem?!?!? Not only that but if you do deliveries (most good GP's used to) you are advised to carry that insurance for 20 YEARS after your last delivery because some idiot might come back after you and claim that the reason their kid didn't get into the ivy league is that you somehow mishanled the delivery. I hate the whole situation, I hate that costs are spiraling out of controll and I hate the fact that the legislatures response in my state is to cap malpractice awards. As a good example my uncle was in having surgery to relieve the pain from a herniated disk in his lower back, due to the complete malpractice of the doctor he is now a parapaligic almost a quadrapaligic, in my state his damages would have been capped at a couple hundred thousand, not even enough to pay for his follow-on medical treatment, let alone all the new infrastructure his life requires like chair lifts, ramps in his house, nursing care, and then we get into lost wages, suffering, mental anguish for him and his family. Basically his life was ruined but because idiots can't be stopped from suing over trivial shit he would not be able to get anything resembling a just outcome.
Actually the answer is to use Access and this together. It has the ease of use of Access (duh) and most of the stability or SQL Server (MUCH better than Access). It also scales better than Access's internal DB engine. Best of all it doesn't cost you any more than the Access liscense because MSDE is free =)
So what, Linux just overtook Mac's as the second most popular desktop OS, that means that some non-trivial percentage of people who are citizens are locked out if official business is done in a format they can not access. There are TONS of open and free formats available, the goverment can and SHOULD use and demand use of one of them. RTF and PDF are both good choices because they are open published standards.
I never implied that you had to have talent to be sucessfull or that being talented was a guarentee of making it big. In fact most of the best DJ's I've seen have never had a commercial release. There are exceptions, Paul Okenfold is a damn good DJ, as is Bad Boy Bill, but there are tons of others like 7UP, Scott Henry,Rob Black, etc which will never make more than a living (and usually not even that) off their art.
I'm guessing you've never seen a good DJ?? I mean saying there is no art in mixing is an extremely ignorant statement. Beyond that only a handfull of DJ's worldwide are able to be commercially sucessfull, most while around in small clubs or underground scenes simply plying their art.

Only if you belong to the idiot masses. Go look up the origional definition of hack and you would realize that it applies a lot more to tweaking your cars onboard computer than it does to script kiddies exploiting security holes.
Heat the fermentation tanks with Ethanol and power the farm equipment with biodiesel, no more reliance on fossil fuels =) Of course if the generation is truely net inefficient this won't help but I imagine that the process can be made efficient. It's too damn nice to have a natural solar colector that has been tuned by nature. Btw if the process is converting sugars to ethanol wouldn't something like sugarcane be a better choice than corn?
