Nobody said he was the perfect president. That's why there are term limitations. You don't like somebody in office, next term vote them out. Its so easy even a child could do it.
I will hardly ever believe anything coming from a California paper or magazine. All this bigotry and hatred for anything Bush is totally ruining this country. You want change? Fine, then vote them out of office. But to constantly blast anybody in the media who doesn't think like you do, or believe in what you believe is like a child throwing a tantrum.
Stop bitching and moaning and get out there and DO something about it. Jeez...
That's the last political statement I will make on/.
The key here is that only high up Hollywood people will get the screeners. There is a ban on DVD screeners being given out, BUT you can still find them. So somebody on the inside is doing this. it could be even an actor or director's kid ripping DVD's from daddy's office. But whoever it is, its one of their own and we get the laws and blame. THANK YOU HOLLYWOOD!
I remember something about there being Helium-3 in abundance on the moon. Space.com has a nice article about it and scientists are already at work making it into a usable energy source.
I do something sort of like this, but I use rsync instead. I just run a quick script before I log out of my laptop, which rsyncs $HOME to a master server.
256 polyphonic voices IS unique. Most synths/keyboards are 64/128. See, polyphonic voices are the number of voices played at the same time not one after another. The human hand can only play 20 voices (notes) at the same time .
Since the advent of MIDI, these have slowly been going up due to the fact you can throw off a number of notes (voices) to a computer to playback. This way the performer does one part, while the computer does all the other parts.
I just never knew they were up to 256 voices. That's enough to create your own orchestra;)
Last time I checked, motherboards only come with 2 IDE channels. According to the article, they are using 4 250gig IDE in 'standard' configuration (ie, no RAID or SATA) and using a system drive. Uh, 4+1 don't add up to 4.
Since they couldn't afford RAID, what about software RAID? Way faster than normal IDE operations.
Right when I was about to check out the specs,/. effect. Argh..
Anyway, before it got/.'ed, anybody catch what kind of DSP cards they were using? 256 polyphonic voices per card with a dedicated 256megs RAM. That sounds impressive.
They should rename that article to "Must Have Jobs of 2003." And who cares if they're overpaid, its not like they themselves are the ones paying those huge salaries. If somebody is willing to pay me that much, do you really think I'd say no? Heck no!
Once and for all I'd like to see a breakdown of what systems these virus' go after. I wanna know how many AIX, how many Windows, SCO, DOS, OS 8-10, etc.. these things are meant for, you know, the whole schabang.
So if we buy DTV cards now, will we be immune to these DRM efforts in the future?
I say this because my DTV card has analog outputs. DRM is totally useless if I can still patch analog to another source. The same can be said for audio CDs. Take the R/L RCA outputs of my CD deck to something else and record. You can't stop that.
I have been a free software advocate for a long time. But lately, I've been buying Linux programs, drivers and OS'es. Maybe because its I feel guilty of stealing for this long. But the things I've bought really do work with what I want to do.
Example #1, I needed full duplex operation of my soundcard. OSS and ALSA didn't do it. So I plopped down 20 something bucks for the OpenSound drivers. Worked right out of the box.
Example #2, I had to have Office XP for work because other people use macros in their Excel spreadsheets. OpenOffice/StarOffice don't do macros yet. So I bought CrossOver Office and Office XP works awesome, right from my Linux desktop.
There is a market for Linux software. I know, I buy them when I can.
Redhat finally spoke where they wanted to go for all this time. They were a major part of what Linux is now today. With their slow insertion of bogus kernel patches and GCC patches. I am sure we all remember some programs that just will NOT compile with Redhat's GCC. Heck, some extra kernel modules will not compile with the Redhat kernel source.
I bid them farewell from the Desktop market. Since they botched it in the first place, good ridance!
I think Redhat will have a market. That market is Vmware. It will go with other OS'es that only deserve a VMware window on my Slack desktop; Windows and now Redhat.
So how does the programmer recoup his cost of buying a license from Conexant? I too believe in free software, but in this case the programmers have to recoup their cost of the license. What is wrong with that?
This should be a myth because not all machines need too have a global IP. In part, I think this is part of the reason worms and virii are rampant nowadays since there are way more computers with global IPs than ever before. And the users don't have the experience of maintaining the machines.
I like the idea of a good NAT firewall with private addresses inside. This way you only use 1 IP on the outside.

"How to build a budget file server without knowing what we're talking about"
3 grand is on a budget? What happened to raising from the grave an old AMD K5-166, throw some big IDE drives and you really got a budge file server.

Honestly, who does use Hotmail anyway?

Nature always has a way of dealing with things. I am amazed every day.
Like I really care what an AC says.
Dang, what's that I see? Oh its only an 'L' on your forehead.
If you really are buying $15 modems then you should know you get what you pay for.
Or better yet, take up C++ and contribute to the project.
