They are the devil because I live in arkansas (mere miles from Wal-Mart HQ), and they insisted on building "Arkansas Largest Supercenter" right outside the LRAFB. To say the least, most residents said NO. But this one dipshit down the street took up a petition, and got a tiny part of the city to sign it, and got the damn Wal-Mart thru anyways. I mean, all that was there before were these useless trees! Now we have a Wal-Mart Supercenter! (Wal-Mart is cheap. To save money, all of the lights in their HQ are spaced a little farther apart than normal, to cut down on electrical costs...)
Depends. If someone calls you, you can tape them without their consent (catching harrasing calls?). If you call someone, you have to get consent to record something.
"But certain facets of evolutionism are exaggerated, for instance, if Man were once Ape, then why are Apes not continually in the process of becoming Man? " - you said that
Well, they probably are, just they won't end up just like us. But then, it's tough to come up with proof, unless you will live 2 million years or have a camera that will watch...
That's why SGI could create a chip with nvidia, then nvidia could sell it like, "The nVidia RealityVis+, with Silicon Graphics Technology". Just the SGI name would get attention, and anything SGI could contribute can't be bad. Besides, they started the whole 3D acelleration mess. Them and their triangles...

That's always something i've thought would be cool. Having the SGI logo in my box. That can't really be a bad thing, seeing as how they've done in all cases. I expect nVidia's OpenGL ICD to become REALLY GOOD, for both windoze and *NIX.
I've seen stories about all of those within the past few weeks. It's not like it's easy for them to go through tons of stories, back check them, AND move their stuff over to andover.net and keep you happy. Besides, it's not them digging up the articles, they just sort through what they can, and post what they do find. If you don't like it, don't be an AC, and start submitting stories.
Err. ya. I had a similar experience with Essential Debian. I loaded it up, went through the rough install. I get to the command line, type ls, and nothing happens. command not found. i figure my path variable isn't setup. env. nothing happens. same error. at least cd/bin worked. IMO, if something as simple as ls and dir do not work right away, that is the sign of a really bad install. Redhat's install is really good, and i think more should follow it. You shouldn't have to fight an OS to get it working.
You face SIMILAR CRAP when trying to offer BROADBAND xDSL service. It's about internet access, not Telephone service. The Telcos have the same, if not very similar, micro-monopolies over areas.
You still have yet to point out all of the bad things about things like visual programming (Lego Building. I use Delphi, so I can access the widgets if necessary). Would it be easier to use the Legos, than have to remold them each time? (at least in delphi, you can get access to the original "mold", unlike vb...).
Agreed. I think that with computing power on this level, you may see something in the way of the Star Trek computers, with the visual/vocal/key input, and a central core type computer. Large businesses could have that, and maybe a laptop would have a silicon wafer with a grain or 2 implanted on it. Maybe a carbon wafer...
They probably weren't thinking when they wrote that. Viruses exist in the data, so unless a good virus detection program were to run on it that could detect unknown virii (not possible), it's still susceptible. Crashes... ever try renaming a.txt or.bmp to.exe in win3.1 then try running it? it would crash with an out of memory error. maybe this will actually make it run (new programming theory: Bitmap PL). And yes, these things would be damn light, and powerful!
Cost won't take a nosedive. No. Profits will skyrocket. If a $500 PC has one chip in it, and it equates most of the cost of the PC, then a $700 pc would cost $500 to upgrade (and don't tell me that at $500 a chip wouldn't sell. look at the P3 550). And when did i ever say that i wanted the expense of a new scsi controller, a network card at all, and what if i want faster 3D? for $125 I can get a faster CPU now. For $100 i can get a motherboard, and $200 i can get a FAST 3D acellerator. I don't need a whole new "PCOAC" for what is effectively a new system.
But then you have to deal with the fact that there will be a LOT more cables around your computer/desk/floor, and won't that be a safety/stability hazard? Trip on something, and not only do you break your neck, but you also disrupted your new Firewire HDs operation. Whoops. There goes everything you worked on for the past few weeks! I wouldn't mind a fast firewire drive, but i'd prefer it to be inside a protective, stable chassis. Need drive bays? Be a real geek and get a full tower:)
"Amiga will presumably be adding a lot to the Linux kernel - certainly a GUI system..."
They have got to be kidding. Adding a GUI subsystem to the Linux Kernel? Unless there is a way to bail out of the GUI if it bombs, this can be nothing but bad. WindowsNT for example...
You don't seem to have been banned yet... I doubt you will be. It's a bunch of small minded flamers who insist on flaming everyone who disagrees with linux. I do agree that it is them who screw everything up. And don't assume it's a bunch of teenagers...
That patent does look suspicious. Like in how to redraw a window that was covered by another window. Am I right? If so, that is most definitely not an original idea, not worth the patent.
If you are so concerned about MP3 quality, just use a higher kbps setting. I do mine at 256 kbps then burn them to a CD. Excellent quality, and far less CDs to deal with... Besides, SDMI is just a proprietary standard attached to the compression scheme. No benefits, just added size of the data, and who knows what else.
Well, they were considering a Digital LCD (the LCDfx chip, as they called it) output on the V3 3500. That was cancelled because of the high cost of LCDs made the feature unnecessary, so they replaced it with a TV Tuner/Video-In instead.

It doesn't per se clock higher, but cranks out many, many, MANY times more MIPS than the nearest Intel CPU. That's, of course, a rumor.
But is it? Imagine the amount of energy expended in it's construction, not to mention the raw materials...
Why bother with GIF when you can use PNG, or JPEG, both of which are a lot nicer, and are not patented/license restricted.

Don't assume the virus author is a minor. Also, if they hold a copyright(left) in their name, yes.
Now I doubt it would apply to viruses, as you would get nailed to a wall for it.

Ok. Not VMWare like. Have the system simulate 4 computers/6 cpus each (or however...) and use an internal high speed bus to link them...
Access each other's ram? 4 OSes using each others system memory? I seem to have dug a complex hole...
The fact that the backdoor boys are selling that much may be a good example, but it shows just how pathetic the majority of music listeners are.
