I was at a demo of a G5 recently - it was amazingly quiet considering there are 16 fans in there however while the guy was talking, suddenly all the fans started getting louder - the thing sounded like it was getting ready to take off. Turns out that it had crashed (CPU at 100% probably causing the fans to kick in to protect it).
I now know why the things are not fitted on castors.
99% of off the shelf shopping cart systems now rely on this behaviour. This will surely alienate even more corporate customers, where the hell are Microsoft going?
Ahh but did you know that 55.3% of statistics are made up on the spot?
That's for pairing. The "bluejack" technique involves sending a contact to the phone. Mos phones ship with the ability to accept contacts via Bluetooth by default.
Brit here - it was a term that used to refer to horses many years ago when they were due to be put down. The place where horses were taken to die was called a "Knacker's Yard", and so when a horse was due for "retirement" it was said to be "ready for the knackers yard" which became shortened to "knackered".
In modern colloquial english it is usually a reference to anything broken ("my car is knackered"), or tired when applied to a person ("I'm knackered", "Are you ok? You look knackered!") etc.
Scientists have discovered that moments before the "big hum" there was a brief mysterious reverberating sound that due to the wonders of modern technology can now be simulated.
PS2 = CHEAP MISSLE GUIDANCE COMPUTER Did you know there was a story about that?
I did actually - however wasn't it the original Playstation and the more I think about it I'm sure they were banned from being exported to somewhere like Iraq as the graphics chips were allegedly being pulled for being "so powerful" that they could be used in missile guidance systems.
It could, of course, simply have been Sony's marketing department again.
If you buy a RAID card with on board cache make sure the cache is battery backed up otherwise a power cut may corrupt your array. Some of the cheaper cards don't have battery backup.

"skinfitz" is so much less anonymous than anonymous coward. You fucking self-righteous cocksucker
Coward.
The issue was addressed in the Dr Who episode "Remembrance of the Daleks" where a Dalek was shown levitating up stairs.
The AC post told me the parent is bullshit. Your post tells me you're an asshole.

Who modded this up? Only 9 fans in my G5. The smells like a troll. Nothing like a personal anecdote to support one's opinion.
More importantly, who modded this up? Nothing like a comment from an Anonymous COWARD.

Surely it would be in the best interests of game publishers to come up with a Knoppix style self booting Linux game platform for their games?
....aaannndd it sucks.
Really.
They should just license the bastard - we'd soon see a concerted effort to clean it up then.

Yeah and when the voting system fucks up they can blame the firewire chip set.

...but no unix vendor has ever stated (afaik) that anyone can use their product without any knowledge about computers.
You mean apart from Apple?
The darwin award exists for those who kill them selves in stupid ways... we need to invent an award for idiots that fall for obvious scams like this.
There is - it's called "Manager".
Pong is the only game anyone EVER needs and that's that.
There are all these new fangled so called "games" like Unreal and whatnot but they are all just the same concept! you are all being conned!

Ideally it'd be all, but if that's the case and 100% uptime is a necessity then you'd probably be looking at failover clustered servers ;)
;oP
...doesn't everone have these..?
