    Actually I really like PC Power and Cooling. I was very disappointed to see they weren't covered. They make a great 510W that I'm using in my machine.

    So if the documentation for these chips is free as you said why are you complaining?

    Yeah but thats fine because my K8W has 2 242s, so going to a 2.0Ghz dual core when they are ready sounds awesome.

    Actually its about the next iPod killer as the title of the article say .... hell even the title of your post suggests we are talking about iPods. So I'm not sure why you're being such a little bitch but I hope you slap a tampon in and move on with your day, slashdot has enough trolls.

  11. Re:Not a good true complexity issue. on P2P In 15 Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    While I agree there is underlying code written in a multitude of different languages why does it not count?

    Maybe it speaks volumes about where our coding languages have gone but the fact that you can write it in 15 lines (or 9 depending on which language you prefer :) just goes to show how easy it really is to write a P2P app with today's modern languages and libraries.

    Or are you one of those people that wants to go back to punch card for the authentic programming experience?

    Actually my knowledge of scheme played a big part in getting my current job (writing C# & C++ and then integrating it with Lisp)

  13. Re:Does a big screen even fit? on Studios Face Off in Next-Gen DVD Format War · · Score: 1

    "For one thing, 1080i is only roughly double the resolution of NTSC S-video in each direction"

    Maybe I'm wrong but when talking about an area you quadruple by doubling the sides ....

    2 X 2 = 4
    vs.
    4 X 4 = 16
    16 is 4 times larger

  16. Re:Offtopic on BIND Is Most Popular DNS Server · · Score: 1

    So would you be the person to report broken links?

    The reason I ask is because the links to the Clarkson submission's are broken. I'm sure there aren't to many AFS sites that run Qmail other than Clarkson so it really doesn't make to much of a difference.

    Do you still live up in the north country?

    Thats why yo buy used (or cheap) and drive them into the ground. I just paid off my nissan sentra its 4 years old with 75,000 on it and I'll get another 4 years and 75,000 miles easy. The trick is being able to get the years and miles after you've paid it off.

    As I said in my last interview. You can write nasty code in any language some just lend themselves more to it.

    I write perl routinely to help do everything from produce C++ code to parsing log files. Its all in how you use it.

    I've heard that rumor floating around but I'd like to see the proof that you can infact copy the CD legally. I know they charge a blanket tax but I'd be very suprised if infact the CRIA has given away the right to prosecut you.

    Do you have any links to prove this (and no slashdot opinions don't count)?

    And as the people that designed NFS realized TCP is better because once you've built in the acks and the nacks and you've routed it over long links UDP is just not worth it.

    If your on a small local LAN yes but large WAN why? To grind it to a halt ? I'm not sure what research purpose this would be.
