Plus, with the sheer low cost ($200,000 for an output 1/50th of that of a normal Russian nuclear power plant...so the cost of these to equal a normal Russian nuclear plant would be $10,000,000) I think that $10 million is less than the cost of a normal nuclear power plant. Perhaps we should look at this design as well, I mean, evalute it for chrissakes!
We put nuclear power plants to sea all the time. Our aircraft carriers, our submarines, for the most part have gone completely nuclear. Why not, the military uses them. Let's take a look at this. 5 or 6 cents per kilowatt...daaaannnnng.
Heck, even if we don't use these as permanant plants, how about having a few of them as floaters, for rent to cities/owners of the power grid as needed? Oh, having an excessive heat wave $CITY ? Here, for $x.xx/kilowatt, with a minimum purchase of $XX,XXX, we'll add power to your grid.
Plus, when everyone else buys a new printer inkjet for $49-$149 each, and I can buy one toner CARTRIDGE for $89 at Office Max (that lasts well past 5,000 pages...) its significantly cheaper. Plus, can sit without the ink drying out. (Just shake the toner and it works)
Cray's still there, in fact, I attend college in their old headquarters (Brown College, formerly Brown Institute, in Mendota Heights, across the river from MSP Int'l Airport...Cray has an office down the street from the college.
I seem to remember hearing something about Epic (Unreal fame) being nearby, or having an office here. Although I might be quite wrong with regards to that. *shrugs*
The U of M is still quite large - being a Sourceforge mirror and all. Maybe we need to set up a Minnesota (or just Twin Cities) Slashdot user's group (NOT on meetup.com.... stupid group fees)
I type this as 40+ machines in the same room as me use PE to launch the installer for our client's baseline system image. It installs the following:
-Windows XP Pro -Drivers for the system (detects model and installs appropriate drivers, and extra software - like IBM's Rapid Restore Ultra on all IBM/Lenovo machines) -MS Office (I'm just a monkey here to run this site's deployment, I don't make any decisions) -Extra stuff used by the client (firewalls on all laptops, burning software on IBMs with burners, DVD players, etc)
All in all, it's a rather powerful (and simple but extendable) automated Windows installer. I like it.
In fact...I think I'll look into this tonight, and tommorow when I'm back in (Hey, overtime is enough reason for me to not play WoW and come to work, seeing as it's 10 blocks to work:D)
YES! GAME DEVELOPERS, LOCATE THYSELVES IN MINNESOTA!
Sorry...I like it here. We know what a "white christmas" is like (and no, you trolls, and, uh, I guess everyone else, I mean SNOW!)
Plus, we've got the U of M, which also happens to be one of the first sourceforge mirrors (GREAT way to test bandwidth on any pipe here in the Twin Cities, by the way)
No, what he's saying is that they realize they can't do much to stop malicious intent, but they're trying to make sure that since they will be using the Solid State Drives, they want a policy that will make sure that the critical data isn't on the USB devices, that tend to have a relatively high failure rate (and/or don't normally get backed up)
Doubt it, he's not mirroring it himself. Enough people like me have spare bandwidth to throw around, and so they've got a round-robbin mirror system set up. Like Mozilla has done.
So it'd be people like me, but I could easily serve up close to 200 copies of the whole thing before I hit my limit:D
The problem is...by this law, we may never hear about such a case. How can we complain about (and mention) specific abuses when we have NO proof of such incidents taking place?
The Gator eWallet has been around for years - I remember cleaning systems back in high school, from Windows 95 and 98 boxes - that had it, because it game in one of many ways. The free version of Sneed for Windows I think was one of the culprits...
It's not what AMD and Intel have now. In fact, the hardware that will run in the retail Apples most likely is still under wraps (mentioned, talked about, but not yet released)
It's what Intel's doing in the future. I've seen the roadmaps - don't have access to the files, but I've seen them. That is what Apple is picking Intel over AMD for.
What home users would *buy* a dual-core HT'd system anyway? If they did, it would come from Best Buy or Dell, in which case the System Builder/OEM would install an appropriate OS.
Sec. 17. LAWS TO EMBRACE ONLY ONE SUBJECT. No law shall embrace more than one subject, which shall be expressed in its title.
In fact, we all were reminded here in Minnesota of this constitutional article not too long ago, when the courts struck down our concealed-carry law, not because the law itself was illegal, but because it came attached to a DNR-related bill. (that was unrelated to guns, arms and the like)

Ummm...sorry...just venting my anger at Macromedia for not making a version of flash that I can use...instead, I'm supposed to compile a 32-bit version of Firefox in a chroot and install flash in there.
I'm not a solderer, I'm just commenting in regards to this...it would appear that according to their site, and I'm assuming you bought one of the following:
It would appear that both devices come with a 1-year warranty, so once you get your data off, I would contact them and tell them that it broke. (Assuming that it wasn't negligence that caused it anyway)
Get that thing replaced man, $600? Jeez. I'd want that thing fixed.
In fact, I was the one who looked into this back in the StarOffice 6.0 days. For the cost of media (at the time it was $25) your entire district would be licensed for StarOffice.
The only thing you would pay for is support - and Microsoft doesn't give you that either.
You pay a fee for a given time period (usually 2-3 years; paid yearly) in which you are given the current version of said program(s) (Windows, Office, VS, etc...) with the expectation that a new version will come out before the end of your subsription, at which point your license expires and your sofware is INVALID. Meaning, don't renew, expect the BSA to come knocking.
This is why Microsoft is all of a sudden rushing to get Longhorn out - the three years from when they first started their new licensing program (with windows XP/office XP) is coming up due soon - and beyond a new version of office, they have gotten nothing out of it, and most will probably not renew the way things are going.
I must say, thank you for SiteBar! I've been using it for about 6 months - I'm hooked. (It's down right now as I switch hosts, but I'm putting it back up shortly)
SITEBAR ROCKS!

I admit, I've played Madden. I think. If I did, it was once, at a friend's house on his N64. Other than that I don't play any sports games.

...prefer to shift with my right.
Even though it's an automatic.
The one thing they give us, everything else is discrimination...
Like the big metal scissors in school, that only right handed people can use (because the school is too cheap to buy decent scissors)
Or computer mice. One of these days, I'm going to start randomly switching the buttons on the mouse (within the OS) on people.
Books! They say the ending is better than the beginning, so we end on the right side of the page! MORE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE!
RISE UP WE MUST, FELLOW LEFTIES!

I'll be looking at AMD's version - memory management done in hardware rather than software. Much better performance.

But, as detailed here:

Microsoft isn't charging per core, it's per processor, so this would count as "one processor."
