i actually had a student in one of my classes in high school named Shi-Thead, and on our Student ID cards they couldnt put hyphens, so it did come out Shithead on all her school paperwork.
I do use UDMA 100, and it all depends on the kind of SCSI were talking about performance wise, the point is, if you want the speed, its there its just that its of a higher price, cant afford it? (i know i cant) then perhaps its not for you right now.
There are improvements in Speed for hard disks, ATA has been getting faster and faster, but if your talking about blazing fast speeds, dont use IDE at all, use SCSI.
Well, if it deviates as much as it starts to break userland apps, i guess its a failed tree. if it works, does everything right, with added features/performance, its still linux, i seriously doubt anyone is ripping apart all the basic functions at the core of the kernel and rewriting it, almost all forks just add features, some change large important tasks, but nothign as drastic as to wonder if its still linux or not.
No, the idea of open source is the ability for you to say, fuck this tree, ill take all this code i want and deviate here and make my OWN tree, one with my patches and nothing i dont want!
When we have many tree's with one or two people making decisions each, its much more orginized than 20 or 30 people throwing large amounts of crap into one tree, and alot of stuff gets lost in the mess. Pull the tree that has the features you want, if it lacks one feature that you absolutly need from teh other tree, there are patches to use to get it in there.
i use a local based isp, and already had my account created for me, none of that crappy account creation software bs for me. i still dont like pppoe though, but its not as much of a pain in teh ass as everyone wants to make it out to be.
It takes much longer to crack it than 30 seconds. The reason it can be cracked is becouse of an insecurity of WEP encrypting a file every now and then weakly, still encrypted, but very weak, after you collect about 1000 of these packets software can determine the key from it.
On a not very used network it can take over a day of collect the desired packets to crack it, on a heavily used network a few hours.
It has a fan, if it didnt it would be completly quiet, but the fan isnt audable without having your head real close to it. My old monitor only does 800x600 resolution anyways, and the monitor probably makes more noise than the dreamcast. ill admit teh cdrom makes alot of noise when it reads, but i dont run from a cd filesystem so i only need the cd to be used for booting. and it hasnt been shut down in a couple of weeks.
Why not look for ways to make the drives more stable, when im shelling out 80 to 100 bucks for a drive, i really dont like being told that im only promised a year of use before it dies.
On the point of them running hotter, i dont notice a big difference between the 512meg and my 1gig drives in my home firewalls, as opposed to my 60gig in my main machine. the old drives are cold to the touch, my new drive isnt anywhere near hot, still cold to the touch, just not as cold.
Becouse true fans will not watch a crippled internet copy, they want teh real thing, and i do believe there was a significant monetary loss, as much as they claim, i am and noone on slashdot is in a position to know for sure, but face it, he leaked a movie to the internet, and you KNOW people downloaded it, and many of them didnt see it in theaters, its purely speculation to say they would have gone to a theatre had it not been on the internet, but noone is at a position to say one way or another.
As far as theft goes, he did steal, he stole a copy of the movie, and he stole many physical items from the company.
Why does it have to be the Open source comminity as a whole trying to compete?. The beuty of The open Source model is that i can do whatever the hell i want with my time and if you like it, you will use it. Its Projects like this that make it more diverse and more appealing. Not many people start there projects as competition to any other company/project, but as something they are intersted in.
I use the dreamcast as a dumb X terminal, it loads up, and i get X Windows and can browse the web, use irc chat or do email. It works great for that and it serves its point in my home network. Im sure its the same way with other peoples setup or even the little kiddie who knows nothing of computer architecture and programming and just wants to see how different another system running on a completly different CPU architecture is.
yes i realise all that, i was more on the your first point, that he recieved a patent on such a generic idea.
And although ebay is current at 'fault' it just isnt right, the law is just a governing body to represent the moral values, its when we start valueing the words of what a law states more than what it means in its entirity and what its meant for, that we end up in huge disasters such as this, which should never have come to be.
Wait a second, i didnt see anything abou this patents other than the fact his idea was "actioning stuff" and im pretty damn sure people have been doing that for a long time before him.
"I was there with the technical know-how and ability to see it first," he says bluntly. "We won't be bullied."
O.K., so he had an idea, and supposedly all the technical know-how to do it, and he didnt, so how exactly is that ebay being a bully when its his dumb ass who didnt act on his idea other nthan put generic terms in a patent office?
Actually, Halo is the only FPS that i will play on a console. I typically cannot play FPS games without a mouse, yet somehow Halo just has control/feel that i can keep up with and play well, i still wish i had a mouse, but i can live with the controller on this game.
P.S. Even though Ps2 has a much better controller than XBox, i cannot play Socom with the controller, it just doesnt feel right, dont ask me why, but i just cant understand the difference.
Its not really theft, but it could be tresspassing. Since they did not give you permission to step onto there network.
Yes i realise that the network was not closed down, but an unlocked door is not permission to step through.

you people read a title and read it as (they are trying to stop mod chips) you dont realise that its only part of what they are trying to avoid. cheating is a very big problem on online gaming. they only real issue this will come up on is when you sign up for xbox LIVE. dont like the way it works, dont sign up. blame them for doing things wrong, fine, but now your blaming them for trying to actually DO something secure?!? what the fuck crack are you smoking, stick to ONE side please, do you want some of there products to be secure or not, or is it that you want it secure only if it benefits you?

Okay, so you are then, blaming microsoft, for trying to avoid a problem? peopel will always try to cheat in onlien gaming, so why shouldnt microsoft try to stop it on many levels. there is more to the anti-cheating than just "lets see if his hardware is non-factory .
Please bash microsoft for all the right reasons, but dont attack issues that they for once are getting right just becouse they are who they are.

I agree, its main purpose is just to detect cheaters using a hardware hack, or people using those GameShark Utilities so cheat. i remember how the gameshark ruined gaming on Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast, so i cannot blame microsoft for trying to stop it.

We do live in a throw away society, but this isnt like a disposable camera that you take your pictures once and only get read from once.
HD's are for more permanent storage, saving files for later retrieval, you wouldnt buy a backyard shed that was rated for 1yr use would you?

thats how i read it at first, then after i checked the date making sure its not april first, i actually read the article and said "ooohh"
How does people finding this funny relate to the extinction of animals.... do you really think someone is going to see that post and go,
OHH NOW THATS WHAT I WANT FOR DINNER!
i doubt it, it was a joke, everyone see's it as a funny comment that has no real meaning, except for you of coarse. lighten up pal, for your own good
um, its your dc thats noisy, i cant even hear it unless every sound making applience in my house is turned off, even then its a low hum...

No its not, the story you showed stated it was released, and this story is about how its not dying liek other debian forks have.
Seriously, dont look at names in articles and quickly post how its a repost just becouse you have a hunger for kharma, you really do look very stupid.
