Preach on, Usotsuki! I should be able to walk down the street with an AK-47 in my hands. I am not being sarcastic or mocking you. Hell, I'd do it if it weren't for the fact that it'd get me unconstitutionally arrested.
that was some of the dumbest nitpicking i have heard in months. The UN is worthless and is not a governing body, but is rather a group of wishful thinkers who accomplish nothing worthwhile. The difference between this and terrorism is vast. War = attacking a country in a military confrontation. Terrorism = anonymous or afterwards-claimed attack on a target chosen for its ability to make citizens fearful, aka terrified. When was the last time a terrorism put out a worldwide press release saying when and where he would strike? I dont recall one.

yes, but he worked for those he considered the lesser of two evils. dipshit.
I am in the exact same thing as you, man. Silver, no stones, simple design. Why? we dont like gold or stones. Plus they are inflated to ridiculously disproportionate prices. No engagement rings, silver wedding bands. Cost under fifty bucks for both and we love the way they look. Silver has the great advantage of having a dark tarnish that emphasizes the raised designs, which is also nice.
i have a gig of PC133 and switching to DDR is my main reason for upgrading this fall actually. I hate how swap lags, and since putting in that gig my linux hasnt touched the swap with a ten foot pole. It was a nice boost.
its simple really. I have both a P4 and a P4Xeon at work and they run like shit. My wife has an Athlon XP at home and it runs great. Hence, I like athlons and I think P4s are overrated. MHz and GHz are a clock speed, not a measurement of actual throughput. Learn of that which you speak before you speak it.
Basically, I am not pleased with the P4 series' performance per cycle, and I have had good luck thus far on my wife's Athlon XP. I may also consider the VIA C3, now that you mention it. I have had good experiences with their motherboards (at least the ones made by reputable manfacturers. Damn you, FIC!). Basically, I plan to go hunting for a new machine in November since I cycle motherboard+cpu at a rate of once every two years or so. The Duron 900 i have is stable, but it doesnt have the best efficiency. I figure I'd like to either improve my efficiency or my compile time with the next chip, and AMD is more cost efficient than Intel for the latter, and C3 and Transmeta for the former. I am simply torn between the two reasons, hence my opposite spectrum of choices for chips.
to preempt the inevitable flames, I realize that the Transmeta chips are designed for laptops and tablets and their ilk. Is it such a crime to desire a chip which places heat and power consumption above highest clock in ones desktop system?
it will be feasable to build a home system with a transmeta chip without it being a pain in the ass to find or get ahold of one. My next system will be either an Athlon XP or a Crusoe/Astro. Which it will be will depend on a lot of things, but if its a pain in the ass to get, I'll just end up with the AMD.
underclock. even out of the factory, CPUs are basically overclocked for all intensive purposes. I know thats not what you all want to hear. But every advance that the chipmakers make that should be able to reduce the heat coming off a processor ends up getting put into running it faster instead. I grant its good for the MHz race, but the MHz race in the long run isn't really that good of an idea.
on the contrary, i know that already and i still think its funny as hell. i realize many will die, and i think its worth it. We should have finished this shit a decade ago during Gulf War I, and regardless of how or why, I'll be glad to see it finished.

its amazing the popularity slackware maintains despite its simplicity. Just goes to show how desireable simplicity can be for some.

wow, who modded that shit up?
i admit it, my 900 is running fine. I just like playing with lots of hardware to get a feel for what is good for what.
never seen it, never read dune either. its just a sound statement.

its a shame that was anonymous, you'd be straight to the friends list. Preach on, brother, preach on.
yes...the only trouble i am having is weighing compile time (i use gentoo) versus efficiency for everyday use.

Screw Iraq. Bomb Florida, this is all their fault.
cant we do both?
You're absolutely right, Citizen. Any of my friends will tell you with no hesitation that I have no love for the UN

you're mostly right. fortunately I suspect that Daddy Bush and his cohorts are really in charge, and they dont care if the people can stomach it.
