I've been using Linux as my sole desktop OS since.... It's been so long, I can't remember which version of slack it was, but I had to download it to floppies. Maybe 96 or 97? I later upgraded to RH 5.1, etc.
But you're still paying Microsoft when you buy x86 motherboards and CPUs.
Huh? I build my own. Including my beowulf cluster.
There is no evidence whatsoever that there was a worldwide flood - and a disaster of that magnitude would leave lots of evidence. And nobody told the Egyptians and Chinese about it - their civilizations were going strong before, during, and after when the flood supposedly occurred.
Many cultures have flood stories, because towns are usually located near good water supplies such as lakes and rivers. Which flood on occasion.
That's the point, Einstein. 3 years ago Linux was a complete joke compared with UNIXWare.
You obviously are unfamiliar with Linux 3 years ago. Linux supported more hardware, ReiserFS was available, and Linux supported more processors in SMP.
Unixware is the same base codebase as Solaris
Dream on. Solaris is heavily rewritten - the enterprise features in Solaris are not part of the SysV codebase. And SCOs products still lack them. So a Linux vs Solaris debate won't help you.
In the United States if you demand that a retailer sell something at a certain price, or you try to force the issue, you can go to jail.
But there are manufacturers that will tell their dealers that they must not sell for less than a given price, or they will loose the dealership. So the price is the same at a small mom&pop, or super discount megachain.
A blue laser DVD player will probably be cheaper than a DVD player with a 2.4Ghz P4 equivalent processor. And anything that adds to the marketplace confusion as far as the format for HD DVDs will slow the acceptance of it.
Any HD DVDs will have some sort of DRM that is far more secure than current DVDs. I would imagine that the entertainment industry will be leary of any Microsoft DRM technology that could make Microsoft the gatekeeper to an entire industry.
Well, back before DVDs took off, most VHS were going for $18-$20 in stores as their regular price. Today, DVDs go for about the same - the current cheap VHS tapes are a result of it being a dying format.
Since I only can get 28k (bad phone lines), I usually turn off image loading. So I can load pages even faster than they can, plus I miss most ads. I turn on image loading on when I need it.
For downloading large files, I just do it overnight. I can use command line utilities like snarf in shell scripts to download multiple files.
Actually, if Michael Moore berated me, I would take that as a complement. I'd wonder what I was doing wrong if someone like him actually complemented me.
But it doesn't conform to all of the specs. That was a problem in the development of the Linux stack - follow the spec, or follow the way others had implemented it so you would be compatible.
Actually, it's a cache crippled P3. While the cache is the same size as the celery, the cache access latency is the same as the P3. The celery's cache access latency is two extra clock cycles longer than a P3, slowing it down. So the X-box processor is slower than a P3 (less cache), but faster than the celery (lower cache latency).
Heck, the Chinese government has a long history of supporting terrorism and repressive governments. So any Chinese-made product helps to support China ==> supporting terrorism.
Most toys these days are made in China. Buy your kid a toy ==> supporting terrorism. Go to McDonalds, order a happy meal -> Chinese made toy inside ==> supporting terrorism.
A lot of the best things they have produced (Walking with Dinosaurs 'documentary
That was co-produced with the Discovery Channel
I spent a few months in Britain. While there are some good programs, the majority is as much dreck as the typical broadcast network: A few hours a week that you could stomach.
The best of the BBC gets shown on PBS in the US; that is why many mercans have an overly high opinion of the BBC.
PS2 Backwords compatibility with the PS1 was easy - the I/O controller in a PS2 is a MIPS R3000 processor - the same as the main processor in the PSX. So the PSX games are run on the PS2 I/O controller processor.
The PS2 is far more complex, so it might not be so simple. I could imagine that the PS3 may be able to run PSX games, but not PS2 games.
Backwards compatiblily for the next gen X box should be easy for Microsoft, as long as they continue to use modified PC hardware in it.
One Piece is good if you like the old fashioned sea-pirates with EXCELLENT charecter backgrounds!
Supposedly CN may be showing One Piece sometime in the future. It has also been licenced by a US company, so it will come out on R1 DVDs. One Piece has well over 100 episodes, and is still running strong on Japanese TV.
Their parents. I don't care how much you pay the teachers, how many computers you buy, how old the school is - it's the parents that matter.
Too often, some of the parents don't care, so their little gem ends up making trouble in the class, and the teacher has to spend more time trying to get the class under control, instead of actually teaching. And too many parents don't monitor their kids to make sure that their kids are doing the homework, and are not helping them to understand it.
Most private schools pay their teachers LESS than the public schools. Why do they take the lower paying jobs? Because the kids are better behaved, so they can actually teach. If a kid is causing trouble, they can be expelled.
