I'm not sure exactly, because I don't know much about hammers, but wouldn't PC2700 already account for DDR, so it would be 2700, and shoudlnt' that be Gigabits, not Gigabytes?
Feel free to correct me.
Well, with the exception of Cobol there, if this is what you call "suffering" maybe you're in the wrong profession. I personally enjoy almost every new OS and new language I encounter.
I'm still exstatic from discovering Python.:-)
As for Unix, it's far from dead. It's Windows that seems to be dying.[grin]
Why? WHY!? I mean, yea it's sorta cool, I guess I could run a webserver on my microwave or my TI-89, but wouldn't buying an old-ass Sparc 5 for $100 serve better as a webserver? Sure there are those who are pushing the limits, and asking the question, but some people seem to be misinterpreting that. You have to push the limits of that which is sane and accepted, not push the limits of that which is practical.
Troll. My machine has 9 fans in it, yet it manages to be quieter than the office iMac(which tends to beep randomly from time to time, I'd fix that, but I just don't care all that much)
No shucks Sherlock! You are right about the annoyance of media working on fear and pointing out the worst potential for a technology without recognizing the enormous good as well, but what other potential is there for guns?
Your argument about technology being portrayed in the worst possible light as a knee-jerk reaction is sound, UNLESS THE TECHNOLOGY HAS NO OTHER USE EXCEPT FOR IT'S WORST POSSIBLE USE. The spectrum of potential for gun technology is extrememly small: shoot people! What the heck else are they good for?</i>
Shooting people isn't nescessarily wrong. Actually most of the time it's perfectly alright. I don't see your point. Are you saying that since it's inteded to kill people, and the only possible use, short of target practice, is killing people, they will be used for murder, hence must be illegal? NEWSFLASH! Killing people isn't illegal, murder is. I'd like you to remember those words when your being held at knife-point watching your family get hurt.
Hey! I resent that! I favor an extreme capitalist system but I am all for free software and open source. Just don't go releasing software under GPL and then calling it free or open-source, it's plainly not.
http://www.2wire.com have a pretty nice repeaters/amps that your phone company could implement to extend DSL to 50,000 feet or farther. Call your DSLAM/TelCo/whatever and complain, if enough people do, you'll get the service(unless it's pacific bell/SBC/prodigy, then you're out of luck)
Somehow I always assumed OpenBSD was Quad capable, hmm, one of the firewalls at work has a dual board, and I always wondered what would happen if I added a CPU, so I guess now I know.:-)
Well, they are definitely in a way a natural competition. Some people like one, some people like the other, but it always feels good to have choices.(Says me typing this from WinXP, if only Visual Studio.NET ran under Linux, if only!)
Well, not entirely true. Ever try compiling Gnome for Sparc64? [grin] I wish somebody would make a package... an "all-in-one" one... I would, but I really would miss the 3 weeks of my life, plus how many people on sparc64 besides me want Gnome anyways?
What are we to do? SERIOUSLY?
Well, there's that thing... in the constitution.. you know... *cough* the second amendment *cough* you know, it's there for a reason... for cases like these...
Maybe off topic, but what's the story with the original Unix? Where did it go? Does AT&T(or whomever) still own it? and more importantly, does it run Gnome?(snicker)
Do you rip it apart and replace that motherboard?
done it
Do you get a replacement LCD when it dies?
done it
Laptops MUST have a warranty or be serviced by the OEM or you are fucked.
WOW! So if I get an OEM laptop I'll get laid? Thank you!
Except that a $2500 G4 still freezes from time to time, and is ridiculously sluggish. Granted I don't even know what clock speed the thing was, but I spent about 5 hours trying the usual things I do with my PC on OSX, and I'll be damned, it still sucks! Yea, maybe stable, maybe faster than the G3s I've used before, but still not as stable as Mandrake I run on my athlon, still not as robust or quick. Heck even WinXP on the same athlon seems to outperform it. No clockspeed comparison, just evaluation. It does not give the bang for the buck, that's why I am not switching.
Actually a lot of movie theaters nowadays use digital projectors, the movie comes on some sort of *gasp* digital media. Who operates the projector? People who more often than not like tech toys. It would take them a couple days to rip a theatrical quality movie to a DivX.:-)
If someone in Bulgaria registered YOURNAME.com, would you want legal recourse to get it back? If so, why don't they deserve the same protection?
Of course not! I , for one, know that my name is in no way unique. It's first come first serve, in fact, I've tried to buy http://www.groman.com once, but I never even considered legal action, and I'm not going to, because they registered it first!

nevermind, after actually reading the article it is pretty fucking cool. [goes to get a GBA]

Desperate geeks who ask about operating systems go for overalls. [grin]
Thank you, why hasn't it occured to me to look in the belly of the beaurocratic devil himself!

If this involved no future followup whatsoever then the answer to your question is yes! [grin]

What is this "ID" you speak of? (this is a serious question, I'm ignorant)

What is TiVo service anyhow? Is there anything specific in the service that you can't code into a homebrewed version?
