It doesn't really help the user once spammers stop spoofing AOL addresses though, so ultimately it only helps AOL. And is that something we want to support?:P
As far as the first Q, I think that has to do with how the network handles multiple sources... If you indeed had a file with part of a copyrighted song, the program would never take specifically that part of your file and merge it in when somebody tries to download the whole song.
The second question is trickier, but I would assume they do have a specialized program that gives them more information on users on the network, and probably lowers their limitations on searching, etc. Plus, some users still allow people to search for what they are sharing, so they could catch people that way.
Basically I figure they probably have programs that take in a list of copyrighted files and run for a while and afterwards spit out all the users that have a copy of it. Then they put everything in a big database and see who comes up with the most matches.
The Pentium M is a processor that runs at a slower clock speed than Pentium 4s with rougly equivalent performance. So Intel at least changed tactics in the mobile field.
I think the bottom line is performance... if they can keep reasonably close while continuing on the current path, they won't change. If some future chip ends up being horribly slow compared to others, they'll have to switch.
Now, there is another aspect that could make all this irrelevant... it is rumoured that the successor to Prescott might be multi-cored, i.e. multiple processors on one die. That would certainly give them a way to market a lower clock speed, if they have two or more CPUs in their chip.
I felt the same way myself, until I was given a cordless desktop as a gift, and it's really changed my opinion on things.
For battery life, the mouse is rechargable, and lasts a few days on a full charge under heavy use. Keeping it on the charger also helps keep it from getting lost. The keyboard's batteries last 6 months, so it's not a hassle either.
Instead I'm finding the whole thing very positive, as I can move things around much more easily to make space. I don't have a second desk for doing paperwork, so it's quite handy to be able to just toss the keyboard aside, without needing to find a spot within its cord reach. I've noticed that I've had a better time with the mouse as well, as there is never any pull from the cord getting stuck on things.
Losing things is an argument though, but I don't really think a mouse is the kind of thing one puts in their back pocket and forgets about, like one might do with the remote:)
But seriously, that makes a good point... how exactly are they different from geeks everywhere above the robes? Just because they wear something different doesn't make them different people. I'm sure they've got more style than some of us anyway...
I think Mario 64 is a poor choice for the point you are trying to make here... I feel that Nintendo did a great job with their move to 3D. Same goes for Zelda. It certainly didn't make any of the games less fun, while opening up more possibilities.
The Athlon64 FX51 supports dual processors and non-ECC memory. It requires registered memory, however. That's what makes the memory expensive, not the fact that it's got ECC (I've seen lots of OEM machines at work that have ECC SDRAM in them).
OK, so why is broadband expensive in many places in Europe? I know for a fact that Denmark, one of the countries with the highest % broadband usage, has high prices, despite the presence of competition.
Yeah, but in that space race, they had an enemy (the russians). It was in the government's best interests to stick to that plan, otherwise appearing weak in comparison.
There have been lots of other posts about them changing the fundamental unit of time to do this, but what struck me is that they aren't using metric time. I would think that for a scientific endeavour such as this, where they are modifying the unit of time anyway, they would use a base-10 system instead of our current one.
This whole "Windows patches suck" issue has been done to death, people. Yes, there were instances in the past where things went really wrong. However, Microsoft HAS gotten better from NT to W2K, and will presumably continue to get better.
If a patch fails, it's probably because of another piece of software on the system. That's why it is important to do at least some rudimentary testing of a patch before applying it on a system. Also important is to read the entire security bulletin; Microsoft now lists all other known ways to remove the vulnerability without installing the patch (i.e. stopping vulnerable services).
For our department, it has gotten much easier to keep our Windows systems secure over the past year, and that is completely because MS has gotten better with their patching procedures.
It should be noted that anyone is free to completely redesign the Notes mail database as far as UI is concerned, and add in whatever extra scripting you need. With a competent person or team behind a Notes installation, the mail component doesn't need to be a major hindrance.
The idea is not that we won't go any further after 2018, it's that Moore's law won't apply. Of course there are other ways of making computers, there have to be. But when we discover them, the computing power will likely increase by orders of magnitude overnight, violating Moore's law (though in our favour).
Of course it is a horrible disease, but I believe the point is more regarding the chances of actually getting the disease. Sure there are outbreaks here and there, but is it really an important disease on the global scale? Far more people die from the flu every year, but it doesn't trigger the same kind of "freak out" reaction.
There's also the very noticable lack of the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition... They claim they were not available at the time, though AnandTech's Athlon 64 article includes it though it was published more than two weeks earlier.
With HyperThreading, I believe all of Intel's Northwood P4 cores had HyperThreading stuff inside them, just disabled. This was meant to simplify their manufacturing, so that when they started releasing real HT processors they didn't have to make any major changes to their design.
Perhaps they are doing the same thing here... put in rudimentary 64-bit support that might not be efficient or even work properly, so that later on if they do decide to activate it, they don't have to completely redesign their core.
Yes, the lowest dredges of society have increased in wealth as well, but the "rich are getting richer" generally means that there is a greater and greater gap between them... Like for example if the rich were to get 5% richer per year and the poor 1% richer per year.
Those are just fake numbers though, I don't know if there is indeed evidence that this is happening. The US does have an incredibly large gap between the rich and the poor though.
Heh. Reminds me of the time I accidentally typed "mail.ywahoo.com". Wouldn't you know, Yahoo has helpfully registered that domain for those like me who can't type. From then on, I was helpfully provided with the option to go there whenever I wanted yahoo.
If a new version of Blaster would have been released immediately, it might have caused problems, but it's been too long to do major damage now, at least to business. I'm sure most got their hotfix updates up to scratch when Blaster hit.
It is odd that there hasn't already been a new strain out though... with it being such a similar flaw. Evidently the Blaster author has had his/her fun already?
1) Why were a 14 year old and a 16 year old allowed access to the rifle? 2) Why were a 14 year old and a 16 year old allowed access to a game rated Mature?
Perhaps the parents should try to answer these questions before taking a stupid case to court.
The article also states that it won't be available retail for some time... since it's going to be bundled with OEMs anyway, it'll likely be cheaper overall.
I believe that price is just meant to say that it's the same as Athlon 64.
Here in Denmark there is a law that if your company provides you with a computer (i.e. laptop), they must supply you with an internet connection at home. This is great for broadband uptake, since big companies can easily afford it when they're ordering it for hundreds of users.

No, Fritz will be playing the white pieces in game 4, so is in a better position to determine the board layout and play more to its strengths.

2) Why were a 14 year old and a 16 year old allowed access to a game rated Mature?

It would be nice to know what the cost efficiency of this plant is... seeing as how this has always been the big problem with "green" power.
Also, is there any inherent advantage to using macadamia nuts rather than some other biomass?
