  2. Re:No biggie on Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals? · · Score: 1

    Body modification may be frowned upon in the JudeoChristian texts, but I have known many many self proclaimed Christians that have tatoos and peircings.

    Just because the good book doesn't allow it, doesn't mean it isn't widespread and accepted by the culture.

    In my experience there is more of a problem with younger versus older people when dealing with body modification.

    There is no way that we could fit a big enough gas talk in the car, so we won't even bother trying and will come up with an external solution.

    If you can't use a PS3 without a HD, this would be silly, and just another hidden cost. It doesn't really defy logic in any way.

    Dear Orgazmus,

    Stop assuming that all Americans are perpetually glued to the television. It is a problem in our country, I'll give you that. I also find that it is a problem in almost every country.

    I'll get pissed on for using this analogy, but fuck it. It's like AIDS. It is a world wide problem, but it is much much worse in developing nations that lack the infrastructure et cetera that helps it spread. The TV/media problems are an epidemic in overly developed countries, but it is a global problem.

    Everyone needs to think about shutting off their TV more.

    True, true.

    I haven't downloaded Firefox from mozilla.org in a while. It gets updated via yum or apt on my systems.

    So there are a lot more that should be counted. There is no way that these numbers could ever be massaged into a number of Firefox users.

  16. Re:Apples to Dell comparison on Rave Reviews for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger · · Score: 1

    My printer gets configured just fine, and it is as simple to do it as it is to install the programs and drivers I needed for my Canon Pixma ip5000. It takes about 20 minutes to install that. About 5 minutes to setup the printer under CUPS on Core 3.

    Ripping CDs with iTunes makes AAC files. I haven't tried to configure it to do mp3s (not sure if it can or is properly licensed to). With Grip I can encode into whatever format I want, and use those files on my mp3 player. I can't with the Mac.

    Mac hardware is not a little more. My Dell with a 19 inch flat panel was around $509. That is about the cost of the mini. Add another $300 for a flat-panel, and your way out.

    Writing a letter is exactly the same. Open the appliation, write a letter.

    Printing said letter, Control-P versus Comannd-P.

    Rip a CD. Open up Grip and rip it to mp3 or ogg. Open up iTunes and rip it to AAC.

    I don't do any slideshows exported to ogm or avi, but I'm assuming that in fact would take longer. I also have no idea how to do that on a Mac.

    The last one might have me, but there are many things that I can't do on my Mac without PAYING FOR A PROGRAM.

    Free software on a Mac does work well, but sometimes lacks the tight integration with the OS that most Mac users rave about.

    I also have to pay more for most any piece of hardware for a Mac. I can't expand the hardware very easily without buying the horribly expensive G5 series.

  18. Re:Voice recognition on Rave Reviews for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger · · Score: 1

    Yep. People want things cheap.

    I just got a PowerEdge 420SC from Dell for $238 bucks after rebate. It is fast, runs Linux great. She just said, not five minutes ago "I was really tired of that apple shit.".

    So if I add a cheap flat panel or LCD to the mix, we are talking $538 bucks. Apple's price doesn't jive unless you include the price of an expensive OS.

    So when can I buy my Macintosh without an OS? :-)

    I haven't had any luck finding the wattage of Pentium-M chips from Intel's site. AMD had some information posted.

    Lets say that you have 1024 pieces of data. You get 512 pieces from clients who actually have the real data, and the other 512 from bots with the collision data.

    You have crap now. You can't go and look through the file to determine what chunks are bad, because you don't know what data should be there.

    If they could generate collisions with the current hash system of any given P2P client, the only answer is to upgrade the type of hashing to something better.

  22. Re:Another reason to use AMD on Dell Still Intel Only · · Score: 1

    I was mainly concerned wth servers, where there are significant investments needed for infrastructure to keep systems powered and cool.

    I'm not sure of the power difference between Semprons and Pentium-M chips, but I believe that it would be minimal compared to the server side.

    AMDs consume less power, and run much cooler.

  25. Re:Centos 3.3? Why? on Linux to Replace Solaris at Duke · · Score: 1

    CentOS is based on the RHEL sources. It is geared towards Enterprise use, but not necessarily server use.

    Red Hat Desktop
    Workstation
    Enterprise Server
    Advanced Server

    Advanced server has the functionality (read packages) of all the ones below it. That includes Evolution et cetera.

    If there is a reason for them to use that, it is because every ISV that supports Linux (and I mean most every ISV) supports RHEL 3.x.
