I believe the first batch of japanese models had external BB units (ethernet/harddrive) to connect as the newer models have different expansion bus (dev9) verses the older models implementation of pciamca (or what ever that 'laptop' bus is called). In any case external expansion is possible if they have an external bus... Can anyone confirm that it indeed has one?
You see, there was a video game industry apocalypse once before, in the early 80's. The market was flushed down the toilet by a putrid swirl of bad Atari games, players realizing that Hot Dog Maze was just Pac-Man with different colors. They didn't abandon the Atari 2600 in favor of something better. They abandoned it in favor of not playing video games.
Sorry but thats not exactly the whole 'Video Game" ladscape. Back in the mid and late 70's arcades arose, and blossomed at a ridiculous rate. This large growth in the "Arcade" market spawned home consoles. Atari 2600 being the first in the US to really penetrate a large percentage of US homes (sorry don't know about the rest of the world, simply relying on my memory as a kid). This set up the downfall of arcades, as well as parent groups wanting these arcades to be shut down for reasons that are still beyond me.
See I don't think the home console market crashed, I believe the entire Video game market crashed because of the growth in the home market cannibalized the arcade market. This sudden and abrupt shift was too much and poeple lost alot of money, Warner Communications (who bought Atari with greed in their hearts) started firing people left and right, and thats around the same period that retarded ET game came into being.
Anyway, Arcades imploded in the early and mid 80's, and dragged the home market along with them.
The current situation is no where like that today. There is no similiar, yet competing industry to destabilize the current dominance of video games as a whole. PC and consoles are the closest markets and they are so similiar that there really is no difference at all.
I usually don't respond to posts with flawed logic, but this one is begging for it.
If you are missing sheep, and suspect a wolf is about, the LAST thing you would do is trust ANOTHER sheep to turn on his kin... sorry.. Your just going to be missing even more sheep.
Whats the cost per gallon (or litre) of desalination these days?
Get a bunch of decomissioned barges, plop a desalination rig on one, have it securely anchored in some storm resistant bay/inlet, and pump out a butt load of hydroponic produce! At the prices these asian countries are paying for fruit, I suspect there has got to be a *sweet* spot in there somewhere.
This blurb pegs a new design circa 1996 (nuke plant required) pegs in at 1000$/acre... Assuming thats per year (or even growing season), you could couple the technologies to solve alot of the problems evident in arid/thrid world countries...
I remember reading on some astronomy site a while back about the phenomonon(sp?) that occurs when some meteorites hit the atmosphere. Actually had it occur to me once thats why I was interested, in anycase.
Sometimes when the meteorite hits the atmosphere, the thing excites the region around it so much that you get bursts of RF, these can cause some material dozens of miles away (earth) to act as transducers, and these vibrate and produce honest to goodness sound.
Was wierd to look up see a meteorite streak by, and at the same time hear it almost instantly... Knowing full well it was many miles away. After reading that article (ahh here's on that covers it: Sound of Shooting Stars) I realized that the hair in my ear (yes, i'm getting around that age) produced the sound...
POINT IS: Just because there is no air, doesn't mean there is no sound produced...
There will be more information to come, I have no doubt. But this is enough to raise questions in any reasonable person's mind. If there is an attack, where is the proof? Did SCO SYN attack itself? A single attacker can mount a SYN flood, I'm told. They are claiming the attack affected their intranet. I am hearing that is unlikely in the extreme. Here is how Jason Fordham explained it to me:
"An Intranet should be designed so that all traffic on that net can get to anywhere on that net. It's open; it's inside the citadel. You can look out, and pull data in from outside, but you don't let anyone straight in. Anything outside comes through another server - email to a mail server, or submitted to a webpage, like a GROKLAW post. These act as control points - outside the citadel.
Ok, now I am not making excuses for SCO, god no, but I like puzzles, and making pieces fit...
Is it possible that there really was an attack, but the attack originated from inside the SCO LAN? If so could this explain the internal problems that are being reported as well as the lack of bandwidth problems outside the router? Again, I am no expert at all in this regard, but just putting out a theory, that perhaps someone has attacked SCO from the inside....
This could be seen as the fatal flaw of humanity: we don't care if we fail. We all die anyway, so who cares? Live life, make money and make love and make war and have fun and that's about that. Who cares if we just spent more money on a project that totally failed, when most of the world is starving elsewhere? What does it matter to us?
Personally, I'd like to devise a way so that it *would* matter.
excuse me if I am wrong, but isn't that what would be considered a lack of conscious? Ignoring the obvious problem of this being a social issue and involves groups of individuals. In anycase, this is the inherent flaw in being mortal, can't really see, and I mean have interest in, beyond your own death. Or most cases, the death of our immediate circle of relationships. Sorry for being so morbid, but its a subject most people don't like to think about much less talk about. Which is another manifestation of the problem.
And now back to the Up Beat Music of Desi, and his Congo Bongo Trio!!!
Am I the only one to remember the recent trade negotiations that went on recently in Mexico? The Chinese Govn't has been throwing so many deals our way its obvious China is trying very hard not to upset the forces in Washington who can't 'Campaign' away the freakishly huge trade imbalance.
Heck, even FSMLabs picked up some business with Redflag. On the same day!
In any case, its a Good Thing 1 million desktops will be running linux under the hood, but lets not forget the world is far from black and white.

In this case the exact date SCO files for bankruptcy.
My guess, June 17, 2004.

I just hope you don't have any small children... And if not, get a vasectomy
Pardon my reply, just woke up and a bit grumpy.
Point is, intelligence whatever its source is not related to height, psychologist are dubious in their statistical assertions.
I believe (notice a believe) that intelligence is more closely related to mental illness rather than HGH, or exercise.
There is a fine line between genius and madness.
I DID not have an active childhood...
I AM of above average intelligence...
I AM 6' 5"...
Some, not all, Psychologist smoke crack...
There's your correlation...

I agree... I work in a high stress environment and often unwinding for an hour with GTAVC keeps the lil' stress demon at bay.
Zero stress headaches, no more dreading yet another day of fixing problems for people who caused the problem (read tech support), etc...
Either that or a phat joint!
Keep in mind MS OS division usually develops features closely tied to parallel development in the APP division (i.e. MS Office).
With that in mind realize the big marketing hype with Office 2003 is XML support.
Just too bad Longhorn is over 2 years late.
