Im glad my tax dollars are going to someything like this. Not that they are war driving but they are using pringles cans. I mean i personally wouldn't spend my money on a nice antannea so why should the govt. spend my money on one. if a pringles can is good enough for me than its good enouh for the govt.
NO IT CANT... god you dont know ANYTHING... jesus christ why dont you actually READ the article before you post about it. how would you feel if you submitted a story like that and people such as YOURSELF started posting threadcrapping BULLSHIT like you just did.
Ok i dont see how this article is news. As you mentioned companies likeAlienware already make hot-rod pc's. But now everyone and their uncle are mkaing a hot-rod pc. Just because systemax is in it now doesn't mean anything. I think that the market is about to become saturated with these companies and we will see some of them kick off, most likely the new ones without a name in the business.
This is what we have to do. Beat them at their own game which is very hard because they have the money to play how they want. they only thing we have is numbers and the ability to vote. Lets use em people. Quit being apathetic and write a letter and get out and VOTE, EVERY TIME you get the chance.
You cant beat free. I was send my card for free from my ISP. So really im not dissapointed that they gave me a nice card to play games on my new dsl with. I am pretyt happy with it and relaly im just waiting for the next parhelia. I liked the parhelia but really its about as fast as my geforce4mx at $300.
This sounds like something i would like to be a part of. I appreciate you helping me and i assume becuase you use "we" when talking about cooker you are involved. Your going on my friends list and i think ill try it out on some of my workstatons boxes. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the info, but i have one more question. Does this make cooker at least semi-stable? Like i know its probably not totally tested to be bug free but is at least not hacked apps and drivers?
Ok p[ersonally i use mandrake a lot and rc2 has been fun to plauy with so i waited for 9.0 before i dled again. But i have one question. Can you explain cooker to me. I know what makes it the sme as the rest but how is it different? I find some of the info on cooker to be obscure so can you please explain it or link to a good beginner explanation of cooker? -thanks
I dont think they are suckers. When you are that rich its worth 10x times that ammount to keep yourself healthy. Personally if i could pay that much i would if it would even give me a small cahnce of not getting as sick.
You should wait for the final version 9.0. It should come out in the next couple of weeks and it will be worth it for you to have the stability on your home machine.
Using the car anology only goes so far. In computing you dont break the law if oyu go beyong a certain speed. Most people dont cre about their car's horse power because they will never use it. A faster cpu will ALWAYS help you. Many software development firms keep their cpu's on the bleeding edge bbecuase when you take that extra 2 seconed wait every 5 mins and multiply it by 8 hours a day 5 days a week across an entire team of developers it adds up.
Also it's very handy to buy one of those computer I/O switch thingies...it allows you to use one keyboard to control both computers(while sharing the monitor)...
Your thinking of a "KVM" switch. The name stand for "Keyboard Video Mouse" and they do exactly that. Swtich your keyboard/video(moniter)/mouse. You can find generic ones for cheaper but its best to stick with a name brand such as Belkin or D-Link. Belkin switches will degrade the signanl less and are wortht he extra $10. You can find a 2 computer KVM switch for around $50 with cables or a 4 port from $75-100. They are mostly used in server environments where you have racks of computers but are being used mroe and mroe by home users such as you and me for simple multiple workstation environments. Remeber not to go cheap ont he box and cbaels though ebcause its still less tha the cost of a new keyboard/moniter/mouse and maybe a new desk/bigger room the list goes on.
Even if your 600mhz g3 feels faster how much is it going to cost to upgrade your athlon? Get a new AthlonXP2000+ for $100. Its more than double the speed for $100. I think the price-performance ratio beats out any argument apple has.
Too bad google just cuts off the results as close to 100k as it can get. It find results in batches and tries to get as close to 100k within the limits of the batches of results it gets.
Weel of course not every disto will work exactly right on every machine but i have succesfully installed suse 8.0 and mandrake 8.1 and personally i think mandrake is better once you have it insalled. Maybe you should try the lastest mandrake too before you flame it for not working right. Personally i have seen suse AND mandrake get fuxored many times. If your going to compare distro's compare them for what they are not for your one example on your one hardware setup.
Mandrake has been very good to me. I have helped many people i know move from windows to linux and Mandrake is about twice as easy as anything else i have found. With the latest version 9.0 its even better and i would advise checking it out. As much as people like to flame Mandrake for not being a "hardcore" distro i say i dont care. It is distro's like Mandrake that bring in new people and it was what i used to switch over.
Slashdot Mirror
also for the more technically inclined... yah right like im going to find some of them on slashdot...
for the google illiterate there is also this

Hey i feel worse than you. I just got a Geforce4MX which has no pixel shaders so really im as screwed as you.
Thanks for the info, but i have one more question. Does this make cooker at least semi-stable? Like i know its probably not totally tested to be bug free but is at least not hacked apps and drivers?
maybe A$$ of B$...
Well here is the distro watch page on the diff between all mandrake (no rc sorry). So if you are thinking of going from 8.x to 9.0 here is the info.
Ok p[ersonally i use mandrake a lot and rc2 has been fun to plauy with so i waited for 9.0 before i dled again. But i have one question. Can you explain cooker to me.

My favorite would have to be the wave vs. particle experiment involving the two slits. Is it jsut called the double slit experiment?
one word... diakatana...

A better question to ask is when they will FINISH pattenting our genes. Quite a few already have been but not all yet.

Only the first one is required. Cd's 2&3 have extras such as open office.
