It is interesting to see how there have been a couple of science experiments that have been published, first the elements that really don't exist, and now the bubbles that are not even near the temps that are required for what has been "discovered" during these experiments. I kinda feel sorry for these scientists if they have to falsify these kind of discoveries in order to get any sort of recognition in their respective fields. Although I guess saying that going through an experiment and failing to get the results that you wanted to wouldn't be too glorious either. Perhaps there are smaller discoveries that are needed in order to tackle these much larger needs, for example to create fusion for energy. Although even with these kinds of things happening. I hope that these can happen shortly, because it seems that news is tending to slow down as of late.
although the thing about the prisoner's dilemma is that no matterwhat, if one person decides to screw someone else, it will automatically lead to everyone screwing each other. This is also a reason why apple probably won't go over to x86 more than likely. Because if microsoft loses any usershare from pc users going over to MacOS, then they would pull their mac support extremely quickly. Although I would disagree with you as to Dell having the advantage of this situation, I would say that hp has it more than dell does, because they have a large user base, being that they have made printers for a long time. You just have to think about it this way, who sells more computers, Dell, or everyone but Dell, I mean because Dell will not even earn money on selling their own printers, and, I would by far rather get a printer from HP than Dell, because when I think of the Dell brand, I am reminded of the quality of their computers, which is not too great in my opinion.
That is a real shame that you have had those kind of experiences. Whenever I have seen an admin that is like that, that is the reason that I will not deal with being one myself. I am fully aware of how a user feels when they are frustrated, and have someone to help them with their problems, I am doing support for a job, and get asked a lot of questions from my family about how to get their computers to function. Although I am still with you as to saying that it is a dumb idea to have a holiday to celebrate the sysadmin, just like I think it is dumb to celebrate for any other occupation. because it is the job of those people to do their function, with or without extra recognition. I actually help people with computers, because I actually love to see them pick up on how these things work, and then if it is broken, I like the challenge of fixing the thing. I would have to say that there are others like me, but since the.com bubble, there are a lot of the admins that you describe because they are in it for the money, which is not the right idea in the first place. Those type of people shouldn't be admins in the first place because they usually lack the kind of pragmatism that is required to fix a true computer problem, oh, I have been trained to use x tools, so if it is a problem with y, it is because y is defective type of crap. I would say that you should show more appreciation for people as they help you, if they truely are an asset to what you do on a daily basis.
I would be up for having this at my university, but.. we mainly work on java, so I don't think that a C++/delphi ide will really help the costs of dev tools for the department or the school. This is still interesting, and if they can create a windows version of at least the open edition, you can actually use this product on both platforms for those schools who are afraid to completely redo their network in order to use a programming environment. Although I have been waiting for this program to come out personally for a very long time. This is because although I do like what kdevelop and anjuta offer, they aren't very friendly with my gentoo 1.3b install that I am currently running. I would say that this would also be a good thing for professional developers to look at when upgrading their own development environments, because with the uptime that linux has, and the completely developer friendly design, with a multi-platform tool with the most widely used programming language, this could be a very positive thing for them as well.
Well, I wouldn't hold your breath, because I think that ati's stance on linux is not very impressive. They may give their specs openly, but I don't think that they will make drivers themselves, hence why the weather channel is paying for the development of radeon 8500 drivers for linux. Also IMHO, I don't think that NVidia's drivers are that great in linux, first because it is a slightly more painful process than any other driver to install, it has a binary only driver, and opengl spec. Which, on a machine with another version of gl, doesn't work too well. For example, gltron is smart enough to pick up the NV renderer, but Return to Castle Wolfenstein really isn't. Which is why, I am waiting for the first non-NVidia company to make even half-way decent linux drivers, since I could give less of a damn with having high frame rates(I have a GeForce 2 MX right now) its not like any of the next gen cards will be a downgrade in performance anyway.
First off, the first reason I use linux now is because a few years ago my dad told me that if I wanted to do anything with networks, that knowing linux is a good idea. He doesn't use it himself because it lacks the applications that he uses on a daily basis, like AutoCAD, and at this point he is liking Tiger Woods PGA 2002 for some reason. My first priority will be converting my siblings, because well, first off they are easier to convert to new technology, because my mom a few years ago couldn't do anything with the computer besides turn the thing on, run calculator, and maybe, maybe use word. I have installed RedHat 7.2 on my sister's computer, and have shown my brother my install of RH 7.3, and well, since their computers aren't the greatest powers in the world, celeron 300a, and p133 respectively, they are very interested in something that would run faster than windows, since all they really do with their computers is homework, and games that have counterparts in linux already. Then if all three of us actually use and like linux for a while, I will hope that the Wine project has gotten to the point of allowing the applications that are normally used on the family computer to run in a non-Microsoft environment.
You should try SuSE 8.0, I would think that Yast would be at least fix the problem of not having a good centralized control panel, although I prefer KDE 3 to Gnome at any version, although it is not without its little quirks, it is headed in the right direction for being a mainstream desktop.
Honestly, I would like for more artists to go through and record silent tracks on their cds, they would give us a welcome break from that crap they call "music". I actually remember a cd that my sister has, it has about 12 silent tracks at about 5 seconds a piece, so I guess the artists that recorded that should run like hell, now the lawyers will be after them.. the next question would be what can you do that will not break copyright laws?
I think blizzard was probably a little busy to be thinking as much about warcraft 3 during the 7 year period that you describe, for example they made Diablo 2,StarCraft, and gave their treatment of expansion packs. I truely don't like most of the other RTS games because they don't really excite me, but for some reason the ones from blizzard are really good, I have actually played the beta of this game for a little while, and I thought what they had done to it so far was really cool. Granted I won't buy the retail version for a while, but that is more due to my monetary position than my political one. And I really doubt that everyone in the slashdot community has a greater agenda for the entire world, and will boycott X company because they are not supporting the open source community. I use Linux, but that is because I think the product is superior, if Windows was better, I would use it all of the time. Same with games, if the game is good, I will buy it, and then enjoy the fricking game!
For most sites, if they require registration, I will state that it is not worth it, because what most of the people would have would not be worth the effort of filling out a web form, even with false information. There are some exceptions though, one of those being the new york times, but that is because I was taking a political science class, which required ten articles from a source about a country of our choice(US not an option). Others would be ones that are from services that I would need, for example sites on linux, or software that I will run in that system, I figure that they not only get my actual effort, but my real name and contact info as well. As for others, or even some of those that I do make exceptions for, I know very well, that the main reason for web registration is to create a revenue stream for themselves, which is completely understandable, since the dot net crash, there has been a need to find a way to make web content profitable. For example Gamespot.com has tried something where they charge a rate for their premium services, for example downloading anything from them, or reading reviews for games after a month or so.. I actually liked most of their reviews, and found their downloads to be convenient, but I am not willing to pay for that service because I didn't honestly think that much of their services. There are many other sites that have approaches similar, it just depends on personal preference if it is truely worth it, and if not, then just don't use the services. But for sites that just require registration, at least in the past there have been slashdotters, who have created usernames for the New York Times so that others could view the site without the inconvinience of having to register themselves.
I am a current xbox owner, and although I really don't like microsoft at all because of what they have done to remove competition from the computing industry, the console seemed to be a really cool thing, that and I wanted to play halo within my lifetime. This type of thing is going to actually hurt them a lot more than it would help, because the majority of console gamers buy a system just for the task of playing games, not for recording television shows, or any other idiotic random task that they will come up with for the next versions, if they don't step up on the games, which is the most important aspect of console gaming, then they will lose all of their customers.
here is a much more efficent way to set our opinions about sony and m$: const char Music == 'M'; const char DMCA == 'S';//dmca is a pointer to shit
Microsoft.opinion(hate);///. hates m$ no matter what.. switch(article.topic()){ case 'M': case 'S':
sony.opinion(hate);
break; default:

Not a third rate computer, this box actually has some good parts in it, for example it has pretty much the southbridge of the nForce chipset to control the soundboard, and the networking, which this is a very solid components in it, for more details on what it can do, nvidia actually placed performance details at Here. I also believe that this card is comparable to the Geforce 4? but I am not quite sure on that. Could someone confirm/deny this?
Re:Titanium is very hard to work on

Although, it is the heads of the golf clubs that are made of a titanium alloy, while the shafts are either made with steel, graphite, or those weird ones with both in them, another reason those are 400 per club is the fact that you cannot even make as many in one cast with Ti as you can with steel( I think Ti casts only have 5-8 clubheads on them.) So basically what happens is that the shaft becomes more flexible and the head is a much harder surface, hopefully aiding the distance of rich people everywhere. And of course it will be more expensive as the description of the article stated, high melting point, therefore takes more time/energy to work with and will be more expensive.
I guess I will have to give mandrake another try.. last time I tried a kernel upgrade it didn't like me too much, although I think that was more my fault than theirs... Well, good thing I don't actually keep stuff that I use long term only on one partition, since the new versions come out in two days, although with their current financial situation, I think I will buy 8.2 instead of my usual download
well, wouldn't it be as x being the version number of revisions and y is the version number, as x nears infinity, y nears 1. therefore if it is truely an infinate series that approches 1, it would be diverging, so it would not ever reach one... unless this isn't truely an infinate series, and that could be an interesting thing to look at.
That almost makes me regret not buying a ps2. That is cool, maybe this could get linux out to a larger mass of people than it would otherwise, because I am sure that there will be games that will require the hard drive that is included in the kit, and that could possibly get more people interested in making linux better. And it definately, as what was said about the XBox here when it was talked about, create some very cheap web servers. Possibly, a sdk or something to go with the linux kit, so that people who want to, can create applications that could run on it, or be able to have bragging rights, "I created a game for my ps2!" that would be cool. And definately worth the $200
I would think that linux would stand more of a chance, if all of the developers of all of the various open source projects that go into linux would work on having all of their applications work together in a way like windows or macOS would, for example, being able to install/uninstall software a little easier, and.make the desktop work a little more efficent, while I can handle using linux the way it currently is, the majority of users still would be confused on some points.Although the file formats are definately going to hurt the progress of linux, I would think the fact that the community hasn't really made an outstanding, new way of doing things that is better than M$ or apples operating systems will hurt it more.
Um, I have run WINNT4 on a machine that was about comprable with that(p166/32 MB ram) and it runs fine, even on slow as all crap hard drives that I resurected into the machine. Sure, the gui does slow down the processes, but still NT isn't nearly as bloated as some of the other OSes I have run before(win 9x comes to mind..) I mean linux would run leaner than an NT install, and would probably have a higher uptime, but at least do your homework with NT before you knock it down.
I would think that if any of these lawyers in the frims that M$ hired said anything, they would probably be disbarred, and therefore couldn't practice law again. I also think it is protected by constitutional law as well, but if you could prove that members of M$ where criminals/terrorists, and jailed them http://www.nando.net/special_reports/terrorism/inv estigation/story/166975p-1598473c.html>This
could be some sort of a loophole, but that is doubtful.
I don't know why I would think of this, but at where I currently work, there is a very large area between where all of the computers are, and if there is something that could make the tape backup process even more automated, it would be better. Time could be spent on better things, like figuring out how to slowly learn how to not use microsoft products, or actually fixing computers. imagine, this could save 5 minutes at least whenever a tape backup is needed, that really adds up with incrimental backups, or especially if there are regular full backups, more tapes to be changed.
Actually, yes there is, if you get a more recent distro from RedHat or Mandrake, at least in my experiences, it is included.Here
is the download link for the player. I hope that this helps you.
I like the fact that large companies are taking to this standard for media, I have just started using linux much more and looked in my KDE to see that there was this ogg vorbis format, so I ripped a few of my cds with it, and am extremely happy with the result. I then did some research on it and found out that it was open, bonus.If someone can tell me of a portable player that can use this format, I will appreciate it! I would like a durable way to play my music without having to re-rip my songs.
Well, in my personal opinion, redhat, others it is suse, and then there are those who dislike RPMs so they go for Debian or slackware, and there are also those people that prefer *BSD to linux all together.... it is all up to the opinion of the person that is asked.
