    Or AMD's "5x86-133", which was a 486-133mhz that performed similarly to a P5-75MHZ in integer apps.

  4. Re:the problem is on Law Enforcement by Machines · · Score: 2

    This is all good and well, except there are many situations where you have to pull out, at least somewhat, in order to determine weather it is safe to turn or not. Think about a top of a hill, or having a long line of people coming the other direction waiting to turn that happen to block your line of sight. Chicken or egg.

  5. Re:Could be worse on UUNET/WorldCom Backbone Diffiiculties · · Score: 1

    Considering I'm about 5 blocks down the road from half the shootings, heh, yeah, could definately be worse.

  6. Re:Northern Va is bad (at least for me) on UUNET/WorldCom Backbone Diffiiculties · · Score: 2

    I'm in Montgomery County, MD. I've been having sporadic problems the last two days. One minute a site will be reachable, the next, nothing. Online gaming has been pretty bad too. 30ms ping for 5 minutes, than spiking to 1000+.

  7. Re:Death Knell for the Simpsons? on Simpsons on the Silver Screen · · Score: 2

    TMNT had three movies. Granted the third blew, but the second was pretty good.

  8. Hercules offers Free Replacment Fans on Problem Fans on Video Cards? · · Score: 2, Informative

    About a year and a half after I got my Hercules GF2 GTS, the fan on it started spinning slow and making noise. Went to Hurcules's webpage, filled out a form (needs the serial number from the card), and 2 weeks later, I had a new HSF at my door, no cost to me. Link is here.

  11. Re:Dirt cheap here. on Report: Broadband Too Expensive For Many · · Score: 1

    Most of my friends in Montgomery County, Maryland (a Comcast County) have all kinds of downtime and speed problems with Comcast's Cable modem service.

    I currently pay 40 a month for 640/128 DSL service from Verizion. I've only had downtime once in the past two years. That was for about 3 hours. Even better. My actual speed maxes out at about 960/196. The reliability of the service is worth most of the cost alone.

  12. Maybe you should try the demo first? on UT2003 Gone Gold, Ships with Linux Support · · Score: 4, Informative

    Instead of just buying it because it supports linux? The linux and windows demos can be found here.

  13. How is this not illegal? on How The DMCA Is Enforced · · Score: 5, Informative
    and we only probe the ports on your computer that you have made public
    This is illegal, at least in Maryland. Article 27, Sections 45A and 146 of the Annotated Code of Maryland prohibit "illegal access and the unauthorized manipulation of data using computer resources". Thus, in order for this to be legal, I'd have to give them permission first.

    In case you forgot, glass is clear. Light travels through it.
    I'm not an idiot. The reaction time of the chemical process would be way to slow to kill me. Ass.

  15. Does this mean... on Self-Cleaning Glass · · Score: 0, Troll

    The glass could kill, or at least damage me, if I hold on to it for too long?

    Well, to quote Brak, from the Brak Show on Cartoon Network:

    "But it's my haunted pocket. When I bought these pants I found a note in there that said ' Inspected by Number 47.' Number 47!! What about the other 46!? Were they not good enough to inspect my pants..."

  19. Re:just get everyone to upgrade to win 2k on Chip Makers Selling Fewer High-End CPUs · · Score: 1

    A celeron 500 with 196mb sdram is easily enough to run Win2k with word, groupwise and IE open without hicupping. If your minimum spec is lower, then your IT department needs to be shot.

  22. Re:Old news. on AMD Releases Hammer documentation · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Guess I should have hit the links first. Didnt realize they link to pdfs. If you go to amds order page, you can get any documentation they offer (so they say) in book form, for free.Here's a link to the x86-64 5 volume order page:

    http://sausmaps.amd.com/AMDeMA/www/cpg_tech_manu al_order_form.jsp

    Personally, I perfer my documentation in book, not electronic form.

  23. Old news. on AMD Releases Hammer documentation · · Score: 1

    These have been out for at least 6 months. However these are dated September, so they must be updated. Every time I try to get them to send me the last three of the set, they just send me another set of the first two, so I have 4 sets of the first two. Kinda irritating.
