I think the author went out of his way to say that your Athlon is going to burn up if your heat sink falls off. Actually they made a video. And while I do remember quite a few of those plastic 486 fans falling off, I have yet to see an Athlon fan ever come off on its own during normal (ab)use.
I lost faith in THG when they started sticking $300 GeForce3 cards into systems with onboard graphics (for testing purposes). Talk about not comprehending the value segment.
I don't know why the parent was left at zero. While not technically verbose, it is at least accurate.
The person is quite correct that (at least some versions of) the nVidia nForce chipset supports dual channel DDR memory at a reletively inexpensive price.
Say what you like about nVidia's chipset design but it does provide that inexpensive dual channel DDR memory is at least a proof of concept.
One ex-client of mine (now-bankrupt) had a four character plus.com domain and they got ridiculous amounts of spam. We needed to upgrade their internet bandwidth because of the problem and that ended up doubling their monthly access costs. Their 256k SDSL connection should have been good enough for their staff of 30 but they ended up moving to ADSL 2.5/768. That's paying over US$100/month extra just for the privelidge of receiving SPAM.
We had SPAM filters in place to "protect" the users but we still needed to download the messages before our mail server and anti-spam tool got their wack at it.
And heaven forbid we have access problems. 600 messages would pile up in a couple of hours. It was down for about a day and a half and their were 3700 messages. 99% SPAM. The poor mail server spent over a hour just trying to catch up.
A who says that SPAM doesn't cost anything to anybody.
It is my understand that Kazaa/Fastrack switched to central user authentication recently in an attempt to knock out non-licensed clients (like the open source Linux client that can be found on sourceforge). As far as I am concerned this is where they make their mistake as they received a law suit shortly after this switch.
I would hope that Xolox would consider development again after a suitable cooling-off period as I think you have an excellent client.
It may still be true that a truely P2P system like Gnutella is exempt from legal troubles since no copyright material comes into Xolox's possession. The client is a tool and like many tools, it can be used for good or evil. (On the assumption that copyright infringment is "evil". grin.)
Anyone care to submit their suggestions as to the number of (potentially) intelligent civilizations lurking around?
And intelligent life has been on earth for one fraction of one fraction of one fraction of earth's 4 billion year life. What are the odds that our little fraction matches up some some other planets fraction?
We'd have to visit a lot of planets. The mathematical probabilites just aren't very good.
The live action Tick only has copyright access to characters that appeared in the comic book. Since American Maid appeared only in the cartoon she is not eligable for the live show.

NASA and others INFERRED that there were planets years ago. Now they have proof. That's a big difference actually.
