Anybody who needs to run this server edition of windows is going to pay for it
Im not so sure about that. The pro versions usually are limited to 2 cpus. Why is this important ? Intels new hyperthreading! A single cpu now appears to be a SMP system, and a dual system now appears to be a quad box... before you say well who would have a dual xeon system keep in mine the 512k xeon chips dont cost *that* much more then a regular p4.

I for one would love to see conservative idiots stop railing against any opinion not as ignorant as their own.
NPR has *a lot* of great shows that (Car Talk, Prairie Home Companion) and their news coverage is a lot more "fair and balanced" then those who claim to be.
The real theme of conservatism as of late is to spit bile, intolerance, and contempt at anyone/everyone who doesn't buy their bullshit. I for one am sick of it.
Doesn't this just FEEL absurd? The pornographers (demonized as evil) fighting the good fight against a corporation (idealized as guardians of innovation and american spirit).
The only way star trek could possibly hope to become relavant is to do what they loathe the most --
Make it a drama with contiguous episodes. We need mutli-season plot arcs, and an over-arching theme.
How many star trek episodes have you watched where they discover some AMAZING new technology (new weapons, new technology, new energy source etc.), possibly even something that alters the reality of the show (afterlife, alternate realities, etc) and then that development is NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN ?
Think about the big shows right now -- Sopranos, The Shield, West Wing, Buffy, Farscape etc... All dramas, no episdoes where everything is resolved in 44 minutes.
One of the worst abuses EVER was in Enterprise, when they found out one of the crewman was FROM THE FUTURE and that there was a time "cold war". They didnt mention it again for like 6 episodes... they just kept flying to different planets to talk to aliens...
Why don't they wanna have a Drama? The show is much more difficult to repeat, much more difficult to write for, and much more difficult to produce. However, in exchange for this they get -- loyal fans --.
In laymens terms, "cpus work on electricity not light." Basically, the electricity in the gate causes the gate to open or close... delivering light to the gate wouldn't *do* anything:)
However, I understand there are applications for this in chip to chip communications.
Most kernels including Linux and Windows need to be able to page out things like inodes (or their windows equivalents) regardless of how much ram there is.
I was in a very similiar situation at the university I last worked at, except my boss asked me to take stolen money and help him launder it.
It turned out at my university there was a "Judicial Director" whose job it was to deal with things like this. He hooked me up with the university police and a deputy DA who wired me for sound and had me do a couple undercover ops.
Upside? - I kept my nose clean, did the right thing, and it was actually ALOT of fun;) Downside - I couldn't use that guy for a reference so it has been difficult to find a job....
believe it or not, I realized that... Its kind of like the movie Dumb and Dumber where jim carey asks this woman "honestly, what are my chances?" she replies, "1 in a million." and he says "So you're saying I have a chance!!"
What I was trying to convey was that, with a trivial ammount of work MS could make *sure* the search would fail. Would probably take less then a week for a couple of their programmers to analyze the source and complete the job.
Is anyone else concerned that, since MS *knows* the Xbox key, they could poision the search by submitting work units for that key that are forged (and show a negative when infact it should be positive)?
They start right up without flickering, have a smaller ballast, they are relatively CHEAP ($7 for a three pack of bulbs on a sale day today, vs. $22 I paid for an individual bulb 6 years ago).
Here in southern california, the cost of the bulbs is subsidized by the utility companies. The nice 27 watt ones are about 3$.
I don't think anyone cares what a few yuppie Japanese do with their cell phones. Most people use them to make phone calls.
This isn't the "future" of society we're seeing, its just a waypoint on the path to complete ridiculousness began by an unhealthy obsession with social rules and kitschy gadgets.
Buy *OVERBUILT* hardware... But SuperMicro (supermicro.com) motherboards. Their boards are built like TANKS. I have a dual PII-300 machine here that has *never* been turned off for more then about 30 mins (add ram, add hard drives, etc). As far as uptime, everytime a new Mandrake comes out, I reboot to install it, and the machine stays up *until the next version of Mandrake comes out*.
Yea that always confused me... very few people are aware of usenet, and if you are using usenet to see the spam, then its obvious you know how to get porn for free, so you're about the worst target for advertising there is.
It should work the other way around, usenet servers should advertise on porn sites:)
A friend of mine interviewed for this company that seemed really interested in him, until he found out they were a *cult* structured as a corporation. I can't remember the scam, but basically they sold worthless coupon books and had to do things like meet rediculous sales quotas and go on their "sales trips" (which they had a tendancy to LEAVE people stranded 500 miles from home as punishment). They also work you 16 hours a day for no pay, discourage you from talking to anyone not in the company, etc etc. I've forgotten the name and link to the cult, If you know it, please post it.
Anyways, you'll get alot of e-mails from them on job sites as well.
Thats a little hard to believe... All they would need to get 50hz power would be AC-AC converters. I can't imagine getting a few converters would cost LESS then hiring people to test motors at nigh. And that's assuming the power company could even generate 50hz power...

It turns out that there is a rational explantion for this ... Here's some info you should have.

I *really* apprectiate it. Shoot me an email Id like to ask you some more about it if you dont mind :)
that looks awesome! know of a simliar place for plastic molding? :D been trying to get a product made forever ... :D
Actually, its 8/10ths of an order of magnitude, but we're not being picky here now are we ? :)

It might but it'd still be a damned stupid idea.

NOT only spreading FUD but, I think we're forgetting here that sun *sells* Linux systems! Remember when they acquired Cobalt ?

Never released it though ...

Was being a part of the board preventing them from enforcing some lame patents they have on 3d technology?
Anyways, you'll get alot of e-mails from them on job sites as well.
Still, stranger things have happened.
Amen :) Does anyone know how many mW the last transmission was?
