Indeed. In fact onboard RAID is what I look to have absent from any motherboard I buy since the BIOS (whats the plural of BIOS?) tend to conflict. This means that adding a third party PCI RAID to a system with onboard RAID dont always work.
"advertisements" effect the popularity of a product. Thats the whoe point. How is what the record companies are doing any diferent then whats on TVs, the movies, written on the sky and bannanas (ok, ABC backed down from the whole adds on bannanas thing)?
No no, our Guberment has said that a job is a job. Sure you went to school for four years and piled up the loans to do so, but at least your making min-wage flipping burgers! Why at that fine salary you should have your engineering degree paid off in three hundred years.
This whole thing reminds me of when Regan closed down all the detox and rehab centers and THEN told people to "just say no to drugs". Without good tech jobs no one will go to school to learn engineering. If we have no engineers we can't develop new products. Seems rather simple to me.
Some of us like MP3 players that run for weeks on one AAA battery and have no moving parts. Look at it this way, there are two markets for MP3 players. In one you have people who want gigs of space for more songs then they can ever realy listen to. In the other you have people who want a small device that plays just enough songs and is realy durable. Two markets, two types of products.
I know for a fact that the KT133 had no such feature. I dont know about newer ones since I gave up on VIA when it turned out that you couldn't use a SCSI card and a PS/2 mouse at the same time.
"Will they overhead and melt down like the Celeron processors? Without this feature I doubt they will be able to effectively compete with the Celeron."
Given that, unlike AMD processors, Intel CPUs have a thermal regulator in them, I dont get the joke. I've seen Athlon chips barf their guts out across a motherboard when the heatsink fell off (plastic clip broke off in a tower), but a Celeron should just crash in that case or a P4 will just reduce its clock speed. In fact even the newer 64 bit AMD chips lack a thermal cut out on the chip, but at least (at LONG last) they have it on the motherboard.
Note to the Jihad, I am not anti AMD or pro Intel. I like and use both, I just wish that AMD would spend more time on things like this and clock locking rather then pushing for higher speeds. Both platforms are "fast enough" for now.
Just wait till the episode where we learn that Ken Brown is the love child of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Of, and Linus will have cancer and Andrew Tanenbaum will fall into a coma.
How do you track so called "naughty network traffic" when it goes to an IP with no services or servers? I guess you could do this with somthing along the lines of a "border" firewall (rather then a NAT system). But few of us have such a setup.
I'm sorry, but how is this better then any of the 25$ wireless audio adaptors out there? Sure it can be used as an unsecured base station, but I dont count that as a feature.
According to you they exist to give one and only one competitor an advantage over everyone else. In this case its Apple getting a leg up on any other music vendor. In my opinion, this is the exact opposite of what the anti trust laws where intended to do.
You can get something like a Netscreen 5xp for a lot less then a Mini-ITX system. I just dont see the point in using these as routers/firewalls. That haveing been said, I do use one as a mail/web server.
1. Go to ebay.
2. Find and buy cheap notebook.
3. Get into argument with seller over shipping.
4. Wait for notebook to arive.
5. Pick up hammer.
6. Open notebook.
7. Hit notebook screen with hammer until it comes off.
8. Stick some WiFi cards in notebook and put it on shelf.
No, you can do software RAID. Not the same thing. Not even close. This is a major gripe with me and the Mac. I dont want to have to do external drives for RAID. For one thing, its MUCH more expensive to get a fiberchannel or SCSI to SCSI RAID setup going.
Also note that I would never buy a Dell (however they do make OK servers).
Slashdot Mirror
Not to pick nits. But Total Recal the movie was based on the Piers Anthony book of the same name, which in turn was based on the PKD short story.
If SBC charges 150$ why would anyone use them? There are (in most cases) other ISPs here in CA that have nothing to do with SBC.
Seems to me that banking on the ethics of people clamoring for downloadable media is a losing proposition.
Its amazing how many illegal and unethical things are free.

Boy did you ever miss the point of this device. An iPod makes a better MP3 player then your computer as well. Is your computer ugly because of this?

So are you claiming that they shouldn't be allowed to advertise their products? If so, why not?

What are you talking about, its not like the're sticking bloging or P2P into the GUI or anything dumb like that....
This is just another instance of "Japanese School Girl Technology" at its best. Its the same reason all these freakin cell phones have cameras.

because even one false positive can get them in trouble?
Gyrating and thrusting while chanting "this isn't your fathers lightsaber".
Show me a SCSI RAID-5 card with at least 128 megs of cache with support for the Mac. (hint, there are none)
Also note that I would never buy a Dell (however they do make OK servers).
If your willing to pay less to get less, why stop at an XBox?
