This is proof that moderation does not work the way it is implemented on/. This comment was moderated Informative because it looks like it has useful information but closer inspection reveals it should be moderated either off-topic or funny. Either way, this comment will probably be moderated Off-topic as well but I am on-topic. As long as I stay on the topic of the thread I am responding to, I am On-topic. There should be dedicated, fair moderators, that we vote for. Look at the US and most other democratic governments. We basically vote for people (representatives) that make our laws and govern us. We indirectly make our own laws and rule ourselves, so we are not a 100% democratic society. We can't be. That would be disasterous and chaotic; anarchy like. We should vote for our moderators! Have online debates, campaigns, voting, etc. Elect our Moderators. This responsibility of moderation falls into the hands of too many people that shouldn't be moderating, period. Heed my words. --
Since BeOS is dying as a desktop OS, maybe they should start looking at the ultra-mobile market. WinCE is not doing to well there either, and BeOS looks enough like WinCE to persuade (or trick, whatever you want to call it) people accepting BeOS for their PDA/WebAppliance/NotePad/Thingamabobber. With Linux, Windows 2000, MacOS X, and the miriad of other Unices out their, is there really any room for BeOS? --
Abit's USA site still hasn't been updated, but their Taiwanese site has. Check it out here.
I have built lots of PC's using Abit parts and I haven't had much problems with their hardware and Linux (RH 5.2). The only issue I ever encountered is with the intel 740 card they made, and I had to hunt around for those drivers. I noticed that in RH 6.1, they have that card listed under the video drivers. Looks like this distribution is for people who want a complete Abit solution (mobo, video card, DMA66 card, etc.). At least they are making an effort to have their hardware be compatible with an OS besides something made by Microsoft. 3 cheers for Abit! (Even though I am a Mac person at heart;) --
Epox motherboards just released an Athalon motherboard using the new Northbridge from VIA, the KX133. AGP4X goodness with 133MHz FSB, yum. Take a look, homie. Maybe you can return the k7m and get this bad boy. --
How dense is this stuff? How many tons per square centimeter? If they produce sufficient quantities of this matter, you can create mini blackholes. I imagine they would imediately fall down, to the center of Earths gravity and suck our molten core dry. Scary thought. --
Good point. Good thing I didn't talk bad about the sweedish.;) People often dislike others that behave in the same manner that they do. BTW: I also speak 2 languages fluently. --
Why is this flaimbait? He has a point. Europeans are looking out for European companies, and face it; most European countries and their people resent America and Americans. I know; I'm an American Citizen, but also a European. Both my parents were born in Portugal and we used to go to Europe on vacations (Portugal, Spain, and France). Portugal not so much, but in France... man they hated us. --
The Playstations should have IR ports on them to support remote controls and wireless game pads. It would make a great 3rd party market, and imagine transfering information from a palm or other device to the PSX through it? Maybe they will make a PCMCIA card that will have an IR antenna. --
With the proper code, can the Crusoe processors be used in multi-processor configurations? I don't see why not. If it is possible and the chips themselves are cheap enough, Transmeta can seriously impact the desktop market. --
This has been one of the most amusing posts I have read in a long time. Give him a break... at least he's not MEEPTing or pouring hot grits down his pants. --
This Seti@home code was written by aliens to not detect extraterrestrial signals. Do you honestly believe aliens have a clear concept of what open-source actually means? I think not! --
This is like Sega shooting themselves in the head. Now that people know Sega is not making consoles after the DC, people will shy away from it and purchase N64's and Playstations. Too bad. I played the DC and its not bad. It's a good console compared to the N64 and the graphics are better than the PSX. But thats the way things work, I guess... --
Thats true but computer technology hasn't improved drasically. Computers are basically the same. The have faster processors, faster bus speeds, more memory, bigger screens, etc. See what I mean? A few exeptions may be the advent of simple thinks like USB2, firewire, copper process, silicon on insulator, high density flash memory...
This molecular based memory sounds great but when will we see any of this in practice? But we can dream. --
I love Hotline (1.2.3 not that 1.5-1.7.2 crap, Roks you suck!) but calling users an underground community of active traders? LOL! Face it; it's war3z and pr0n p1mpz... be proud! --
I had uptimes of months with MacOS 8.5 and MacOS 8.6 on my overclocked beige G3. Then 2 months ago I started using beta's of MacOS 8.7(now 9.0)and have not experienced any of the problems you have described, such as pointer freezes and lock ups, but.... since it is a beta operating system, some programs such as Netscape and Hotline do crash. I usually do a force quit on them, save my open files, and restart my machine even though I don't have to.
This is interesting though... Extentions and control panels in MacOS 9.0 do not occupy the same RAM pertition as the system now. I think this really helps with stability. --
