The term "Yankee" is also offensive to fans of the Boston Red Sox under certain circumstances(i.e. during baseball season, or in any conversation related to baseball or sports in general).
Are you sure? Remember, this is a P4 FSB we're talking about here. It's "quad-pumped". The 1066 mhz rating is the effective speed. The actual frequency at which the FSB operates is 1/4 that, or 266 mhz. However, if you're using a Pentium or one of the early Klamath Pentium 2s, your CPU still might be clocked lower than the FSB of the 925XE platform.
I've heard this complaint many times, but I'm beginning to think that Tom's Hardware may simply feature insane reviewers and article authors. The results in the benchmark suite to which I linked are a bit odd(in particular are the rather stunning Doom III results which are wildly different than the ones features not long ago in Anandtech's Doom III CPU shootout), but what is most noteworthy is that the author is not at all enthusiastic about the 3.46 ghz P4EE in his conclusion. If he truly was biased towards Intel, or if everyone at Tom's was thusly biased, you'd think he'd try to spin the benchmark results as a major victory for the EE.
Right here. Though, I must admit that I found some of the results to be a little wonky, along with the test bed. How'd they get a FX-51 running on a socket 939 board? Underlocked a FX-53?
So, has anyone become hazardous to themselves and all ground-bound life forms by using Gentoo? And, if so, do you have any vids of their "accidents"? I could use a few cheap laughs.
Actually, old Warsaw-pact nations were notoriously bad about local and regional pollution. The storeis about industrial zones in East Germany alone were enough to curl my toenails. It's not only captialists that have polluted, and, honestly, when an authoritarian oligarchy of some sort begins polluting, who will challenge them?
Nobody said anything about it being free, but nobody said anything about charging access for it, either. Seeing as how the article in question detailed the costs of scanning and storing all the data without making any mention of how one might recoup those costs, it would seem that the initial suggestion did not include any plan to charge for access to the online LoC.
However, if you have an entire library's contents available in digital format, it's possible to make perfect copies of it an infinite number of times. In contrast, there are restrictions as to how and how often copyrighted materials in a physical library can be run through a copy machine.
I can't see publishers liking the idea of an online Library of Congress at all. Viewers would be able to make their own e-books at a whim. Not that *I* would mind, but . . .
Pardon me for sounding like an eegnoramoose, but isn't at least some of the material in the Library of Congress copyrighted material? Putting it all online would let people get copies of it for *gasp* FREE.
Normal and/or "unique" names that have been misspelled out of ignorance also suck. I once met a girl out in Montana whose name was Rhannon. It was obviously a bastardization of Rhiannon, which just happens to be the title of a fairly popular Fleetwood Mac song(and an old Welsh goddess, among other things).
My family got the ET game years ago for our Atari 2600. It sucked. It took awhile to figure out how to win the darn thing, and the most fun part of it was making ET fall in a pit and die.
I also liked how he turned into a corpse that would sit in front of Elliot's house at the end of the game if you died. You could even make the corpse wiggle around with the controller.
If you can derive that much entertainment from the game after all these years, you are definitely in need of professional help.
I'm sure they could. If Lucasarts can put Wile E. Stormtrooper into Rebel Assault II, then someone else can put Star Wars easter eggs into Sam & Max II.
However, nobody is allowed to do what Sim Copter did. At least, not unless it's a pr0n game.
Men elect to become cheerleaders in the hopes of being able to hold a female cheerleader aloft by her crotch. Sometimes they try to sneak a peek up there, too. That hardly seems homosexual to me.
I don't see how people who have a clue will be adequate replacements for my Player's Handbook. Are they professional rules lawyers or what? And do I need to feed them? I certainly hope not.
Intel has already moved/built up operations in foreign countries. Their facilities and fabs in Israel have done good work. I believe they made the Banias over there? And probably Dothan. That's the only really good core Intel has left.

You call Washington, DC an educated part of the United States? Have you taken a look at their school system lately? Apparently not.

Let's just hope they don't call the AI "SHODAN". If so . . . uh, anyone here good with a lead pipe?

The article itself said around 1 terrabyte. Strangely, that doesn't seem like anything terribly large these days.
Bugger all.
Does being a visionary mean that you get to ignore inconvinient elements of practical reality? Or, in this case, impractical reality?

Can't have that, now can we?
Once you have finished making lemonade, be certain not to spill it on your newly-refurbished laptop.

Richard Head is one of the worst possible names.

Mod me down if you like, but you know it's true.
Shouldn't that message be directed to Mr. Ballmer instead? Just a thought.
IN SOVIET RUSSIA, trolling commences YOU!

That guy was also just begging to get #FurQ on irc.p2pchat.net flooded with slashdotters.
Sadly, nary a one of the clients logged on to that channel seemed to be virus victims. Oh well.

In all fairness, it has yet to be established that this is a truly cost-effective way to educate the population. If nobody watches, nobody learns.
