I only get 28k at home - 56k would look like heaven! The phone lines in my neighborhood are bad, so we cannot get any better than that. And I am too far away from the central office for decent DSL speeds.
Actually, it's not too bad - if you turn off image loading. Just straight html compresses nicely, so the actual throuhput of a page isn't too painful.
Both AMD and Intel found that the overall system costs were substantially more that socket based processors and changed back to sockets within a few years.
The real problem was that the cache had to be run at half the speed of the processor, and as the processors got faster, the cache speeds couldn't keep up. So you would end up with the processor running at 2.5X, 3X, etc times the speed of the cache. Not good.
IBM scored a surprise legal victory in that court case when a judge ruled on Friday in favour of IBM in SCO's trade-secret violation lawsuit against the computing giant.
Huh? Even SCO wasn't surprised by what happened last friday in court.
But the real beauty is that it's lens fit the digital Rebels should you upgrade.
The lenses that usually are sold with the (film) Rebels (and other bottom of the line SLRs) are bottom of the line. The last time I was lens shopping for my EOS 630, Canon had a low line of lenses, a better line featuring the ring-USM motors, and then the professional equipment. IIRC, the better lens were around $50-$100 more than the lower line, but were much better built and had better optics. Don't underestimate the importance of the lens!
As a side note, I bought my EOS 630 right after it was discontinued, and got it new for slightly more than the price of a Rebel body. The autofocus isn't as good as newer cameras, and it is not very user friendly, but it is built like a tank. And can be used completely manual.
You _might_ make a case for shooting black and white, since it's way cheaper to buy the film, and you can print it yourself, which is a great education.
In my dorm in college, we had a darkroom. I bought film in bulk, and learned how to develop and print. It was one of my best college educational experiences.
At least it's cheaper than boating.
My camera wish list is only a few $K. My boat wish list is $300K+ per boat.
it seems as if he has a conflict of interest to give his employer a beneficial review of the driver in order to ensure that it is included. I wonder how independent he is in his review.
The same could be said for many other kernel developers who work for companies that can benefit from new kernel features - after all, that's one reason to pay people for kernel development. But if anyone of them would give a good review of a "not ready" driver, it could hurt their reputation (and hurt their company, too, since the kernel feature they wanted added would get a bad reputation). So there is a big incentive to do it right.
I would rather have the people who are informed and care enough to get off their butts to be the ones who vote, than to go to substantial efforts to get people to vote who are otherwise too lazy.
It's not just a tradition - it is a *pledge*. I really cannot understand how people like you can trivialize the importance of pledges. You are not supposed to pledge to other gods ("Thou shalt not put any other gods before me"), yet you expect others to pledge to your god.
When I have gotten into a discussion with people who are arguing for prayer in school, I ask them if they would be willing to have the prayers on some days be to Allah. It's amazing how quickly they backtrack when another faith is given the same consideration that they are asking for. Would you be as willing to say the pledge if it was changed to "under Allah"?
We still use a SGI Indigo R4000 from 1992. However, it was a long time before SGI came out with a 64 bit OS (Irix 6.x), and I think it was Irix 6.2 that covered the old R4k boxes.
Frankly, this is the exact direction that I think Microsoft wants to take - make your PC a DRM locked multimedia console, with a subscription service. Infinium is just ahead of where Microsoft wants to go today:). But just watch - if they are successful, or even a minor failure, Microsoft will either buy them or try to wipe them out.
More like, excretable. I have to use it at work, and it doesn't work right with Mozilla, so I have to use NS4. Admittedly, it could be the morons that administer it screwed it up:(.
A good example is sailing, where having the best boat can almost decide the competition before it is held.
Most sailboat races are done as "one-design", where the hull shape and weight is the same, and the sails have to be of certain dimensions, etc. Almost all of the remaining races are done as handicap races, where "faster" boats have to give time to "slower" boats. The handicaps can be computed by either past performance for a given type of boat, or based on a series of measurements of the hull and sail plan.
Thanks for the link. A question - is there a difference in quality between the T, A, R, and X series of notebooks? Most here seem to talk about their T series notebooks.
And buyers of such software must be prepared that liability is limited to the criteria common for items given away for free, i.e. severe negligence only.
So, if you are an author/contributor of some open source software, you don't have to worry about liability, if you are giving it away for free under the GPL. And companies like Redhat are not selling GPL'd software, they are selling a service of conviencence, so they are arguably safe. But what about a BSD type licence? Someone can sell that, so that it is no longer given away for free. So, even though you are a developer, and have not been compensated by the company selling your software, are you legally in the clear?
For its time, the Titanic was overdesigned, and carried more lifeboat capacity than what was required. It just had a little bad luck:).
Note: The Titanic was designed to stay afloat with as many as four compartments flooded. A typical collision would only flood two compartments, if the collision damaged the watertight bulkhead between them. Too bad that the glancing blow allowed 5 compartments to flood.
When was the last time Harrison Ford made a decent movie? I'm sorry, but the last few films he seemed to be just.... ordinary. While I love the Indiana Jones movies, I don't really want a new one that isn't in the same league as the first three.
