This should tell you something about Google's innovation. As one of the most successful companies in the world they
still have a sense of humor and are not afraid to show it ie put down the corporate guard. If I were anyone competing
with Google, I would watch your back! They have no fear!
I am not sure what you are asking. I have used a linux or freebsd home router for years. You can configure either rather simply with the information
available on the net including firewall filtering. I am sure you could use 1000mb ethernet cards and make a super fast router with either OS. Linux is
a little more hardware friendly than freebsd. As others have said, more information on specifics will get you specific answers.
I use FeeBSD 8 as a router and also have a Slackware box configured. Both work equally well. My old netgear router
only handled 12mb and my cable can hit 35mb/s. Either linux or freebsd or openbsd for that matter make a great router
os. If you look around a bit you will find all kinds of howto's on the net. You can also make the box a samba shared drive and
a print server if you are up to it.
All you have to do is put fwo ethenet cards in medium power system (almost anything with work cpu wise 512m ram will also
work fine), install your flavor of linux, enable ipforwarding, iptables, and setup your routing. You will be amazed at the speed
increase.
I though AT&T was bad..(well they are). Looks like Verizon is thanking customers as well with very unfriendly customer service.
I am a Sprint customer and I can say they finally seem to be getting it. I recently received unlimited cell to cell (any carrier) from them
without having to do anything. Looks like T-Mobile also gets it. I see they have added some nice options to their plans.
Unfortunately, they (Sprint and Tmobile) are the small guys now.
Most power companies have fiber on the high tension lines and their own network. I expect it (mostly) is not accessible from the internet.
My concern is the hardware. A few years ago we had a major blackout because of the domino effect of one or two outages. All of the
redundancy works in theory but there is no way to test it in the real world unless you have an outage.
It's much like the datacenter outages, they never seem to be as redundant as intended.
This is not surprising. It only indicates that Apple doesn't plan to 1) either use the Atom in a netbook or 2) bringing out a netbook with an Atom in the immediate
future. My guess is if they do introduce a netbook it will have a variant of the Atom it can continue to make sure OSX does not work on most netbooks.
Apple has a very specific business mode which does not include selling OSX to the masses.
I upgraded an existing install the day of the release. It took a while but that's to be expected. Everything worked great. I would like
to see the old gdm configuration editor but no biggie.
I then did a clean install on a new driver. It was even smoother. The gdm screen looked better as I had Xbuntu and Kde all on the other
system and that seemed to confuse the gdm setup.
As I recall. This whining always happens after a new release.
Slackware is a rock. It is highly configurable, extremely stable, very complete. Especially for a server install.
My only concern is it's headed up by only one person. I know Pat has some help but...well what do
I care..He is probably 25 years younger than me.
Actually I am using a new imac and getting used to it (from Ubuntu 9.04). I would give Ubuntu the edge in many areas. Gnome, the gui, cut and paste, etc are all better with Ubuntu. Ubuntu is much faster than OSX (I must admit I have a quad core 8mb ram workstation for Ubuntu). Apple has excellent hardware. The display is superb. Access to software is better (MS Office, Photoshop, etc). However, if you don't need the commercial software, then things get real interesting.
I booted up the 24" imac with the live Ubuntu amd64 cd and everything worked (sound, airport, nvidia video, etc). I must admit I am really tempted to install Ubuntu on the mac.
Looks like he has been missing for some time. Hopefully he is OK but sounds like he may have decided to
take the money and run. The Centos team needs to really find out what's going on here and take control
of things. There is a huge base of Centos servers out there.
I don't know the usual setup of an opensource organization however, it sounds much like some religious organizations.
Some people get caught up in the "message" and just assume everyone is listening and marching to the same
drum. It often is not like that.
Sounds very reasonable. Linus is correct. The point of open source is to do something you need done. Sharing it with others gives
you satisfaction and reward. What's wrong with that!
I tried it briefly. I had no problems with it. However, I did not see the extreme performance promised and the rumours of data loss
were surfacing so I switched back to ext3.
I used to buy most all computer parts from Newegg. Now Microcenter has very competitive prices especially cpu prices and I can return a defective part with no hassle.
This has changed my on-line shopping from regular to occasional. We also have Fry's in town however, they are good for mostly sale items.
This is incorrect. The FCC will ask you to allow them to inspect the RF device. You don't have to allow the inspection. There may be additional consequences as a result of your refusal however, most people who are not doing anything wrong will willingly allow the FCC agents to find a source of radio frequency interference.
I think you have it correct (macbook vs pro). The electronics industry has done this for years. I would have though Apple would have been above this as they seem to try and provide top quality hardware however, the non-removable batteries on recent models should be a clue.
I don't think it's dead. I have FC8 installed and it pretty much does everything my XP Pro box does..as fast or faster. Even 64 bit java and flash plugins work correctly. I personally could live w/o windows however
I am not sure my wife could.
You guys don't watch Myth Busters. They did a test that pretty well proved that IX from the cellphone or any high power transmitter in that frequency range would not interfere with avionics.Never the less, any emitter on the plane is not desirable. It's better to err on safety's side.
The BIG problem is an airborne cellphone will key up every cell site for hundreds of miles (or that was the original problem).The coding may now prevent this but I don't believe so.
what are you going to look at with even 1080P?

Enter The 2160p HDTV

· Score: 1
Cable HDTV is 1080i so is satellite. Standard dvd's will upconvert to 1080i. Blue Ray and HD DVD's will
go 1080p but even if you have the players you have to buy new dvd's.
I can see industrial applications or computer monitor (or gaming) applications but
the rest (the big push to 1080p and above) to me is marketing hype.
Am I missing something?
I would have agreed but Myth Busters did quite a good test on this subject. Running an amplified cellphone with a directional antenna and could cause no ix to the aviation radios.
I have Sprint in Atlanta...as does all my family members. I have tried Verizon. The
problem with Verizon is voicemail outside of their native markets (places where they
have bought other systems). The Sprint network is all Sprint everywhere unless your roaming
on Verizon (in some remote area).
I have tried most all the carriers (not lately though). Sprint seems to give you what
want if you work with the csr (as far as I can tell). The stores are another story.
They seem to range from bad to worse.
I have actually had better luck at Radio Shack finding someone who would work a deal.
Call clarity, signals, etc are excellent here.
I have almost the exact same system. I am still blown away by the speed at times. As far as AMD missing the mark? I don't think so except the marketing hype. The average comsumer has no idea what an AM2 socket is, for that matter, Intel has changed sockets as rapidly as AMD.
Personally I enjoy upgrading but it's mostly based on value. Right now like the previous post said, to upgrade my 939,S2-4800+ and 2G ram would cost around $600. I would gain very little from the AM2 upgrade. If I went to an Intel Core Duo..it would be more like $700 (because of the expense of the motherboards). Just not worth it for me.
This is like the old NASCAR Ford/Chevy/Dodge discussions. Truth be known, it takes a really good hardware person to match up all the parts necessary to acheive the benchmarks you see posted. If your the Roush or Hendrick equilivant, then money is no object. All this hype is for the geeks. The average Joe goes to Best Buy and buys the cheapest deal.

Don't you mean Zilog? ie Z80

Sounds funny to me. Packet switch due to a database mismatch?

This should be easy to control in fact, the porn sites are full of malware and viruses which endangers the network to say the least.
