I know that for the ppl, of the ppl, by the ppl democracy is essentially dead in America (may our past men and women who have died protecting and serving the original ideals of this country rest in peace and stop spinning so fast in their eternal resting places), and now it's for the cash, of the cash, by the cash. (I knew Feinstein can not be trusted, hence I've never voted for the b...er...witch) And what about due process, is that dead too?
I also feel bad for Patrick Henry. In this day and time, his "Give me liberty or give me death" call falls upon deaf ears and overstuffed pockets.
the politicians need to get off their asses or currently in the case of congress....need to STFU and get laws on the books to reduce if not eliminate all this petty lawsuits....you know...the ones that use the legal system to extort and harrass ppl.
I get the feeling that one of the major hurdles to getting to a technological utopia is the DMCA.....since ppl giving advice can be slapped with it. And unfortunately, ppl being slapped aren't the politicians and lawyers. (though, I would rather use a pitchfork for that).
I've tried Drive Image 7 but it failed to clone a successful copy that would boot to windows correctly (windows would hang even in safe mode). I tried it again and again, about 4-5 times. Then I tried good ol Ghost (version 8) and it worked fine, the first time. The only complaint was that I had to do it from dos 'cuz the win32 version of ghost complained that it couldn't lock the drive down (I ran ghost from a different drive).
There's also another way....using linux and doing it that way.
Of course, this is all assuming that WPA (Weak Protection, and major Annoyance) doesn't interfere.
well...if it was indeed trust...then there would be no need for copy-protection, effective or not. A better incentives for consumers instead of copyable digital extras would be like collectibles....cards, artwork, etc. Or unique (or semi/pseudo unique) extras so extras become like a collectible.
Don't they have proverbs in every known spoken language that warn against this sort of futile move? For example, don't awaken a sleeping bear.
If the RIAA and their partners in mob syndication...er....syndication, the MPAA can unlease hell on innocent ppl with all that mass lawsuits and stuff....and they have the lobbying power to have the FCC and quite a bit of Congress in their pocket, one would think that it isn't wise to use a similar technique on them. 'Cuz once you piss off old man Jack Valenti, there's hell to pay...and this time, I'll support da Jack-ster.
Go kick some SCO butt!
Hmmmm....maybe pitchforks and flaming torches will be in demand by Hollywood too....
I kinda expected this from the FCC....to go forward, you take about 5 steps back. Maybe some of the third world nations will be more advanced by the time DTV is out.
lower the power consumption equals less heat which in turn means they can push the envelope a bit more and voila! Fast cpus. Just when ppl start to doubt moore's law...they get a swift kick in the groin called technology.
poor as in he will be poor after his medical bills after just about everyone in the world beats the living crap out of him. And when I say everyone, I don't mean "teens." Or at least get a pitchfork in the rear and a flaming torch in the front.
Just because you go to some prestigious school does not give you the right to be above it all and inflammatory; hell, in this case, have a death wish. Looks like college these days are REALLY overrated.
I still use the library to check it out (they have even the latest DVDs). And if I like it, I go to half.com or some place like that and find a USED cd for a few bucks. It's cheaper and no DRM (digit restrictions management....though it's more like digital rage and madness) issues.
Then I can use LAME 3.9x to encode it the way I want, HQ VBR for my ipod (or use ogg for archiving). Who KNOWS how these non-audiophiles encoded it. They could've used the shittiest encoder known to man; Xing or FhG.
Plus, no monthly fees and my feedback on ebay goes up.
now try to apply ol' Gatesy's logic if u were one of the two unlucky pigs of the three.
"Straw huts are security as long as you patch it constantly." I hope you have speedier-than-speedy-gonzales hands when the big bad wolf comes with a leave blower.
speed will take a hit if u'r not using gigabit ethernet.
also there's suppose to be a filesystem based on the PAR2 thingie....and I'm sure someone has mixed the two (or at least have a net-RAID5 type thing).
once I upgrade my networking schtuff to 1000Mb, then I'll do it too....but for the time being, I use my lil' linux toaster (Shuttle SS51G) as my central file storage location (ty samba!)
it sure smells like free speech and since there weren't any technical specs nor anything revealing except the fact that there's a bunch of g5's, it's difficult for me to say that it's a security violation. More like retaliation for spilling the beans on m$'s stragedy (which everyone in the world already knows).
take that lexmark....now I can get the cheap printers without buying expensive ink (analogy, I can get a cheap car that'll run on cheap gas as oppose to uber-expensive gas).
reminds me of that one ep of the simpsons where Bart starts drawing Angry Dad cartoons and Leny says "It's the number 1 non-porn site on the web; 1 trillionth overall"
Here we go again, with the assumptions. Did I say I modified the said dead cpus? Now if replacing a dying fan (was making bad bearing noises), does that constitute "modifying" in your book?
As for the oil thing, hell no, but if Ford voids the warranty for me using non-Ford motor oil (quakerstate or penzoil or royal purple for that matter), even if the specs match the owner's manual, then there's an issue. Of course, I would expect them to have a recall if the infamous exploding tank issue "pops" up (like the Crown Vics).
And no, I myself have not had any cpus, AMD or otherwise, recent or in the past die because of a crushed core but the possibility of it is there, more so if the ceramic core is exposed.

I thought there were more....including failed ones and the "text-based" ones where ppl are the replication mechanism....oh, the ol' "GOOD TIMES".

dunno why apple would package MM with the ipod....it's like beauty and the beast (ipod is the former btw).
Ephpod and Xplay work wonderously with it, loads better than MM.
need I say more?

I remember, BACK in the days.......
does "for the hell of it" count?
and why be so vapid as to post as AC?
just because red hat linux is dead doesn't mean that linux is. Debian, SuSE, Mandrake, etc. still go on strong.
Long live Linux (LLL)
btw, I use debian.
I still use the library to check it out (they have even the latest DVDs). And if I like it, I go to half.com or some place like that and find a USED cd for a few bucks. It's cheaper and no DRM (digit restrictions management....though it's more like digital rage and madness) issues.

Same to the twig houseowner.
or maybe they got scared after it was /.'ed so they decided not to indirectly force Jaguar users to upgrade to Panther and release the patch for Jag.

There's so much oxymoroniness in that one phrase than it can make the Iraqi [mis/un]information minister into a wise sage.

now mix this with that addon fpu pci card that was on wirednews a while back and boom....uber supercomputing.....*droooool*
take that lexmark....now I can get the cheap printers without buying expensive ink (analogy, I can get a cheap car that'll run on cheap gas as oppose to uber-expensive gas).
hmmm....p0rn.

nostaglic.
I have my ol' AMD 486DX4 somewhere.
been there, done that.....luckily, I saw it coming (hot summer days) and got a big box fan for the whole computer.
now with throttling, you should be able to tell if it's throttling just by looking at your system properties (it reports the clock cycle).
