While most people seem to be complaining about the number of links in the story, if history is any indicator, 90% of people won't click on one of those links, let alone all of them.
What do you think it would take a motherboard manufacturer to make a board that utilized the "Turbo" switch and linked it to an adjustable BIOS setting for overclocking? Imagine, doing mundane desktop work, leave the thing off. Building a new kernel, while burning CD-ROMs and playing UT2003, hit the button and instant overclock; no reboot necessary.
Or, has this already been done, and I'm just out of the loop?
OK, the first of the comics setting up the meeting with Techno-Bill was 12/28/1992. The series runs through 12/31/1992 when Bill beats Dilbert. It's page 49 in "Dilbert Gives You the Business."
It's running on a POS Compaq Presario with an AMD K6 233 and 32mb of ram, and even a few copies of spamassassin running will thrash the drive for a good minute and a half.
I just ran into this on a P60 with 40mB RAM. Try turning off the remote checks. Also, if you're running Exim, there's a setting to control how many simultaneous messages it tries to deliver. Each time it attempts a delivery, it forks a Spamassassin. Try searching Google groups for "slow debian spamassassin" and see what you get.
See, that is what I don't understand about investors. What the fuck did Boeing do wrong to cause investors to dump it? Where they worried about a lawsuit naming Boeing as being responsible?
Boeing didn't do anything. After all, is it really Boeing's fault that their planes got hijacked? Then again, what did Adobe do wrong to cause investors to freak out?
Maybe someday, investors will put money into a company because they believe in what the company does and not what the stock price will do.
If however it becomes more difficult, and finally impossible, then refuseniks will be driven back to recording from the audio output.
I know people have mentioned it before; but if you listen to some of the 128kb MP3 files out there, a recording taken from the headphone jack could be an improvement. Rather than fight copy protection, I think we should educate the "pirates" as to a good encoding system (Ogg, LAME MP3)
I know this question has been asked before, but why do people insist on SOAP running over HTTP? HTTP isn't designed to store state information. It's a Hyper TEXT TRANSFER protocol. I know that it runs over port 80, so sysadmins don't have to open another port; but seriously, if you have an application running through your firewall, wouldn't you want to see that traffic as something other than typical web traffic?
Not trying to flame here; actually looking for a serious answer.

And if I'm viewing this in Mozilla 1.1 at 1024x768 on a Geforce2 MX 400, then what? I can see how the definition is clearer on the after, but it also seems to be somewhat pixelated. Again, maybe it's just me.

Maybe it's just me, but the after picture looks worse than the before picture. Or, maybe it's just a case of "Oops, I named the files wrong."
Yes, I do remember that special. There was also the question about no visible stars in the backgrounds, some of the markings on the film being behind objects that they should have been in front of, and certain hills that looked to be the same hill photographed at different angles.
A quick Google search shows pages related to the show, even though Fox doesn't have anything that I could find.
I think the parent was thinking about water flowing between the panels, drawing the heat out of the case, and dissipating that heat much like a car radiator, or liquid casemod.
The only problem I can see with this (no pun intended), would be turbulence of the water might distort the image on the screen.
I do find it odd that it would actually be considered for legal sale in the US. I thought that screens like VCRs and other equipment placed in immediate driver view were out lawed in most states during the 80's.
Here's the deal; any system from a manufacturer like Clarion, Alpine, Kenwood, etc. has a switched lead that is generally run to the parking brake. Thus, the only time the screen becomes active is when the parking brake is engaged. Otherwise, there is a small LCD display, much like any other radio, and the driver uses the buttons like any other radio.
The rub to this is, nothing requires you to have the unit installed by a responsible and certified installer, who will wire this safety device accordingly. I could buy one of these units, slap it in the dash, and just wire the trigger lead to a pushbutton switch to use it whenever I wanted to. I imagine, though, that if (or more appropriately, When) I got in a car accident while watching TV, the cop would see the screen sticking out of the dash and bust my ass for it.

Man, if I wasn't stuck at work on my lunch reading and posting this, I might have been offended.
But, if you are this concerned about your SIMS stats, maybe you need to quit watching simulated people with lives and get one yourself.
Because you'd like to record?

Have you ever seen an eMachine get slashdotted? I imagine it's not pretty.
You're more than welcome. I have all of the softcover collections, and all the hardcovers except for the new one "Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel"

It would give new meaning to the term "crash cart"
Not if it's running Windows, or more appropriately, if it's this guy's server.

Look at this chart showing Boeing's stock price, and you tell me if their business has gotten bad.
I thought that looked wrong. No wonder my Contra cheat wasn't working!!

I'm sure that you're joking, but this may help out some HTML newbies. Use: <ol>followed by<li> will enumerate list items.

Ahh! Now I get it. My bad.
