And the film Black Mask was before the Gap Commercial too. Bullet Time was invented by the Warshowski brothers, and they have been perfecting it for years.
The Display Card is in the lower 64bit PCI slot, unless you upgrade to the Radeon 8500. The GigE card is in the 32Bit slot, and gets deleted when you get the 8500.
Actually the ATI vid card is in a 64bit slot, the GigE card is in the AGP/PCI combo slot.
If you spec the Radeon 8500 you lose the second GigE. BTO options for PCI cards are only a U160SCI Card or 1000baseFX(Fibre GigE) card in the top 64bit slot, the bottom 64bit slot is base video or empty and the 32bit slot is 1000baseTX copper GigE or Radeon 8500. Of course you can mix&match somewhat (The base video is a 64Bit card, so you can't put it in the 32bit slot)
The drives are all masters. Xserve has 4 ATA/100 channels, 1 per bay.
Apple's L3 is very fast. It's 500MHz DDR SDRAM (Effictive speed of 1GHz), and there's 2Mb per processor, much better than only 512Kb close coupled Cache.
And your Athlons, nice warantee on them, I stick to systems that come with Service Contracts before I drop $$ on a server for colo or any serious work. Dell can play that game, so can HP, Sun and now Apple, but your Athlon's can't.
Clone boxes are great, until you play in the big leagues, and that's where Apple is palying here.
It's 2x64 bit 66MHz slots, 1 populated with cheap-ass ATi 32Mb Card (Probably Rage 128 Pro), 1 32bit PCI/AGP 4x combo slot, populated with GigE card in standard conmfig.
Actually, The government had every right to 'Be Suspicious' of him, What they didn't have the right to do was act on those suspicions without proof of treason, and they didn't. With his close ties to communist organizations, and access to sensitive documents, Einstein could have very easily spied for the USSR, but he didn't, so they didn't do anything. If you have a security clearance, and dangerous friends, expect to be monitored, no matter what your political views.
Actually neither the Doctrine of Sola Fides (Justification/Salvation by Faith Alone) or Sola Scriptura (The Bible is the only source of correct doctrine) are biblical, or even technically correct for Christianity. Both Doctrines originated with Martin Luther, the first is disproved by 2 James 2:24 (Faith without works is dead) and the second requires that you not beleive in the Trinity (The Trinity is only explained in the Nicean Creed). Also the vast majority of Christians do not adhere to these tenets (The Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Episcopalian and Pentecostal Churches explicitly deny both Sola Fides and Sola Scriptura, and with the exception of teh Pentecostals, never have taught either as doctrine) So if the Quakers don't beleive in Sola Fides, they're in good company.
The Deuterocanonical Books are the 7 books of the old testament that were in the Septaguint(SP?) Old Testament that dates to ~70BC, but not in the Alexandrian canon of the Old testament, which dates to 300 AD. The Protestants use the Alexandrian Canon, the Catholic and Orthodox churches use the Septaguint canon, as it was the one in use during the life of Jesus. The Deuterocanonical books were not written in Hebrew or Aramiac unlike the rest of the old Testament.
The Apocrypha are roughly 150 books which claim to be part of the New Testament, but which were rejected by the council of Laodacia(SP?) in 392 AD, when the Catholic Church ruled on which books were Canonical, which were by 'Doctors' of the Church, and which were to be suppressed. The Apocrypha range from excellent books which were not written during the time of the Apostles and Jesus, to books which make the Scientologists look normal.

Well, since all FireWire is OHCI-compliant, no need for drivers, the OS will support any compiant card, The Ethernet is a generic RTL8129/8139 Chip, which is supported natively by any OS, same thing for the USB ports, so the only thing is the Audio and HighPoint RAID controller, both of which are supported by the chip manufacturer in question. Personally the only thing that would be going into the slots for me are a Pro-Audio card, Second Ethernet and SCSI (Because IDE RAID blows chunks for mor than 1 drive per channel), so what do I care about only 3 slots, I don't need any more.There is no real problem with onboard stuff these days.
Nah... They don't use the 74xx series much unless it's something that needs a vector processor (Like something that does realtime effects), they use PPC 740's and PPC750's, the G3 processor for most embedded apps. However, the Altivec enhancements allow them to pick up a real speed boost on systems that support it, like Yellow Dog's nice little blade servers, which allow you to build a server farm in a super-tower AT case (The servers ar 5.25" half-height form-factor, they fit in a drive-bay), with G4's for the number-crunching (The G4 also has a better FPU than the G3 does, and the G3's is comparable to an Athlon's FPU) and G3's for everything else.
You have a Graphite G4, it's two-tone grey, not Blue and Grey. G3's were Beige or Blue & White.
Note that the B&W G3's had a number of hardware problems, the later G4's were significantly better, while the Quicksilvers (Current Case design) introduced a new chipset that's still a bit unreliable. You want stability, get a 333MHz Beige G3 (The 333 is the only Beige guaranteed to have the second-gen IDE Bridge), or a Gig-E Graphite machine (Has B&W style case in graphite, with bug fixes on the chipset, not Quicksilver case)
And how am I spreading crap? You said they arrest people who run over students with tanks. I asked if the folks responsible for the most famous incident of such had been arrested, and stated that they hadn't, which is entirely correct.
I suggest you check your facts, before you complain about other FUD.
Ever hear of the Toronto Blue Jays, the World Series Champions in 1992 and 1993. Well guess what, they ain't Yanks, the Series is open to any teams in the American League (! Canadian Team) and in the National League (1 Canadian)
Considering that they publish most of the top SF(Weber, Drake, Bujold, Hogan) out there, and several A-list fantasy authors(Mercedes Lackey), It sure as hell does mean something. It's not like they're Tor or Roc or someting.
Funnily enough, there's one publisher who's showing a modest profit from selling eBooks. Not surprisingly, this publisher only publishes eBooks in non-encrypted formats, and multiple formats including HTML and RTF. This publisher even offers a number of books for free, available to read online or download, in order to promote it's authors.
Note that according to xlr8yourmac.com, a dual G4 benchmarks in at 152fps when you swap in a GF3, going on the 30% guesstimation, that gives it ~200fps with the addition of a soundcard to offload sound processing from the CPU.

Look it up. Both motto's are on the entrance to the Oracle at Delphi. Know thyself is just the far more famous of the two.

I assume you recognized the motto over the doorway to the Oracle's Kitchen?
'Know Thyself' one of the 2 inscriptions on the entrance of the Oracle at Delphi, the other being 'To Thine Own Self Be True'.

That's what I said. 2x64 bit, 1x 32bit PCI/AGP combo slot. Read my damned post before commenting.

Read the specs yourself. The Video is in the lower 64 bit slot, the GigE card is in the 32bit PCI/AGP combo slot.
Video will either be a Radeon 7000 or a Rage 128 Pro (Which does support 32Mb), not a Radeon 7500 which is AGP only.
