Micro ATX doesn't always require half-height PCI
on
Micro ATX and Linux?
·
· Score: 5, Informative
Micro ATX does not require everything to be half-height. That may be the case (pun not intended) with some Mini-ITX cases, but there are quite a few Micro ATX small tower cases that support full-height, half-length PCI and AGP cards, smaller ATX power supplies and standard drives (be it 5.25" or 3.5").
The main difference between standard ATX and Micro ATX is the "length" of the board, which determines the number of slots, usually PCI. ATX gives you a maximum of 7 slots to occupy (be it 0-1 AGP + 1-6 PCI) where as Micro ATX can have at most 3 slots to occupy. Check out formfactors.org for more information.
Although most of the machines that would be running Fedora are running with Intel or AMD processors, but (IIRC) the current Via processors lack a specific register or property that could potentially cause issues when running code that has been compilied with i686 optimizations.
They cover card games that would also include advertisements and collecting user information and profiles... so this could cover online card games done through MSN Gaming Zone or via Yahoo... amongst other online card gaming sites.
Per a previous post, there is and has been one called pgAdmin. It may not be as pretty as the one just announced, but it's cross-platform and does a fairly good job IMNSHO.
I doubt if we will see all 32-bit processors cease to be produced considering that the overhead required may not be feasible for embedded or real-time environments. For a lot of purposes, mostly ones where power consumption is critical, 32-bit ARM, MIPS, PowerPC and other embedded processors are more than enough... considering that a lot of those applications don't really need to address anything beyond 4GB of memory, nevermind having 4GB of physical and virtual memory in the first place.
Even if 32-bit processors will cease to exist in the desktop, notebook, workstation and server markets in 3 years, I bet that there will still be a lot of 32-bit only applications will still be made and supported for a long time (look at 16-bit Windows applications that are still in use today).
The 30" Dell LCD TV probably will not have has high of a resolution of an 30" Cinema Display though. The Dell LCD TV will probably be able to handle 1080i and that's probably about it compared to the resolution of a 23" HD Cinema Display or IBM's super high-res LCD display.
If you are using the volume license media for Office and Outlook, you may want to look at creating an administrative install point on the server, then have each of the clients run the install, but instead of choosing install and run it locally, have it install the core components on the local system and run the apps from the administrative install point.
The online and printed versions of the Office Resource Kits provide the tools and documentation that you need to get started there.
I got that to work with Office 2000 and Office XP, just for test purposes, but it was a bit slow.
Sounds like something that LANDesk, SMS, Tivoli and CA's management suites do, be it over a local area network, wide area network, or even over the Internet (with or without tunneling).
Depending on which version of Real Player you are using, I'm using 8, you can go into the application's preferences and tell it to disable the Real icon in the systray and not to hijack the associations for other supported media types (in 8's preference dialog and under the Upgrade tab, click on "Auto Restore Settings" and uncheck anything that's checked).
I did that during the setup and after it was running and haven't had that problem since. I haven't touched RealOne, so I don't know where they would hide that stuff. Else, go to the Registry and remove their systray app from running.
If you want to upgrade to Exchange 2003, then you will need to get Active Directory setup, prepared and configured as stated in the Exchange 2003 documentation:)
Office for Mac v.X is an OS X native application and does not run on Mac OS 9. OS X does support Hebrew (and most likely Arabic) but Microsoft uses their own layout and rendering engine for Word and the rest of their Office suites and does not use the rendering engines provided by Apple. Others have already covered those two points.
You can run Office for Windows under Virtual PC, but it will probably be fairly sluggish.
Office for Mac v.X has been out for a while... OS X 10.0.x or 10.1 timeframe I'd say. Microsoft refreshed the line-up to include native Exchange support for Entourage and added the Professional edition to include Virtual PC.
The 300GB Maxtor drive is aimed at near-line storage where capacity is more important than speed. One place that the drive will be used a lot is as an interim storage point for backups before it is written out to slower tapes.
Also, the more platters a drive has, the more power is required (thus more friction and heat) to spin the platters at 7200RPM or higher. With increased friction ahd heat, the longetivity decreases... of course it doesn't help that the drives only come with a one-year warranty.
WD has a 10K RPM Serial ATA hard drive out... at 36GB now and will be at 72-74GB in a couple of months.
At lot of the lower-end laptop hard drives will have 2MB of cache, but Toshiba and others make laptop hard drives with 4, 8 or 16MB of cache... like this hard drive from Toshiba.
The additional cache can be helpful as the hard drive can fill up the cache and spin down to conserve energy.
Windows 2000 came with IE 5.0 or IE 5.01. Windows XP includes IE 6.0 (with SP1 iirc).
Windows 2003 includes 6.0 plus some patches and "Internet Explorer Enchanced Security Configuration" enabled by default. With it enabled, you are limited to browsing only to sites that you have explicitly added to the "Trusted Zone". If you go to a site or are veered to a site not listed in the "Trusted Zone", it will come up with a warning message and you have to explicitly add that site to the list.
Windows XP includes an "Internet Connection Firewall" that acts like a basic deny-all inbound firewall. It's probably not as customizable or tweakable as ipfw or pf.
Maybe the CEO and Sunncomm's legal team should have considered that before he opened his mouth. Too bad they are reconsidering since the case would have shown nice cracks and stupid restrictions that the DMCA has.
However, having multiple 54Mbps cards on a single 33Mhz PCI bus should not be a problem from a bandwidth perspective.
... so long as the rest of the PCI bus isn't saturated with anything else, like traffic to and from a heavily-used disk controller or other network interfaces. Being a bus, there can only be one active node speaking to the PCI hub/controller at any given time.
Of course, if the system had multiple PCI busses, then putting the DS3 card on it's own bus would be optimal.
Although this (Word document) applies to volume license customers that have their OS covered with an Upgrade and/or Software Assurance, Microsoft is allowing those customers to run two instances of Windows on a single system to allow dual booting and running another instance of Windows under a virtual machine.
I doubt if it applies to the original OEM license since the OEM determines the "product use rights" of the operating system that they include with the computer. I also doubt if that also applies to retail products, but who knows.
If the anti-virus software were running on a mail gateway or file server running Linux or BSD with Windows clients, then I would still want some form of anti-virus protection or filtering on the server.
Remember that you need to secure your perimeter as well (which is now something that Microsoft is starting to pick up) as your internal systems.
The original Final Fantasy was very, very hard... even the PSX version of Final Fantasy in "Normal Mode" is a bit easier than the NES version. The NES version only gave you four slots per character for each weapons and armor rather than placing spare equipment in the items list. Although it didn't raise the difficultly level, the fact that you could not purchase multiples of items in shops was a huge annoyance.
The two things in Final Fantasy that made it so difficult was that you were limited to 6-9 spell points per spell level (versus having a pool of magic points) and there were no save points within dungeons and towers (which became much more of a PITA towards the end of the game).
I do love the idea of encounter points for enemies, since it was a good way of building up experience and Gil... but it was also a double-edged sword since you had to re-battle each time you had to step over that spot again (say if you had to backtrack a floor).

Well... Sauron, er I mean Sun, gave out rings at a previous JavaOne conference that contains a microprocessor that runs a JVM, which in turns displays a fractal image at some of the terminals.

Of course, I could be way off base...

Python? Well, at least when it comes to indentation of code.

Almost all OEM vendors that get some kickback from Microsoft has that snippet on their site. HP/Compaq, Dell, Gateway, etc.
Whoops... I read Exchange as an Exchange client, like Outlook. Mea culpa.
