XP SP2 in my opinion doubled the system requirements for XP. Computers that ran reasonably fine on 256MB of RAM are unusable with SP2. Still, XP is decent enough, you don't need all the junk that Vista adds. (Of course I said the same thing about 2000 vs XP, but I've warmed up to XP since then)
I think the company that I'm at now has said they paid $250,000 to MS last year to keep distributing back ported versions of patches because we hadn't made the jump to XP SP2 yet. The costs calculated out and keeping the systems at SP1 and paying $250,000 outweighed the cost/benefit of an XP SP2 migration plan. Now that we've cycled out most of the old computers that have less than 512MB of memory, the majority of the systems running now were designed after SP2 rolled out and have been configured adequately and we're proceeding with our SP2 migration before the cut-off date to pay MS for "protection" again.
I'm wondering if someone might go as far as to hack the DMG file to make the phone always run in root mode and then compile a terminal to run on it. Or someone could release a so-called "enhanced" version of the OS that really had a trojan in it.
You can remove the two springs and the toner carrier separates from the front that has the chip. Then you install the toner carrier from another printer. Pretty much all lexmark network printers (and the Dell branded lexmarks) have the same toner carrier. Even different models and toner forumulations don't seem to matter.
Here's my take. He who makes the rules can break the rules. Since God created everything, he created the rules. And the rules are set forth in a way to make his existence unprovable. Just as even the worlds most complicated AI can't prove the existence of things outside its own memory. If God was proven, would millions of people go to church every week? Ever notice how once you have something in the palm of your hand, it no longer gives you that sense of awe that you'd get if it was unattainable and you wanted it?
I'm thinking they are wanting more along the lines of a core dump or snapshot of the RAM. I don't know the actual device names but something along the lines of dd if=/dev/ram of=/root/ramdump
Though, Sun has a lot more "big things" than Apple does. And those things are expensive. If you max out an apple workstation you're still looking at under $20,000. Sun's bread and butter are these large scale installs with prices from hundreds of thousands to millions and not to mention support contracts. Now for Apple they have spawned the iPod generation with millions of listening to music via them and they have become the main source (aside from P2P) to fill those with music.
Sun has to have a large R&D budget for their hardware. Even the newest iPods aren't really all that hard to put together on paper... Storage, an ARM processor, a little ram for cache, a DSP and a sound chip. Connect to some buttons and an LCD. For their Computers, motherboard design is practically given away by Intel, that's in their best interest. If they can make sure that 5 to 10 of their chips are in each computer that rolls out the door, then they'll be glad to publish schematics to Dell, HP, Apple and others, so the only R&D costs really incurred by Apple are how to lay it out, how many of each port and which chip+processor+video chip to use.
I worked as a contractor at an MS office around 2002 or so. I remember seeing a few iPods there and I had iTunes loaded on my machine that I used to listen to streaming audio. (I also used firefox exclusively, including on MS's internal web based apps, most of which worked fine) I think at one point my boss came over and I was showing him a web page that I had open in firefox and he didn't say anything about it. (He was a brother of a VP out at Microsoft). The other side of our floor had a section of G5 Macintoshes too. I once asked about them and they said that was for the application support group who supported Mac Office and other MS apps made for apple.
One thing I've noticed with CDMA vs GSM, is with CDMA you can send and receive text messages while you are on a phone call. On the other hand (or at least with Sprint) you don't get missed call notifications if your phone was off or out of coverage, but you do with GSM.
(Note I couldn't RTFA since it seems to be slashdotted) The only thing I would worry about is a non-compete clause that says they won't source their chips from other x86 chipmakers. They could do a hybrid product line until they could get acceptable power and heat numbers from AMD. This could though put some interesting things in Apple's product line. AMD has the Alchemy Au1200 processor which could become the core of an iPOD or a PDA. I think Alchemy is MIPS though, but anything's possible. Apple could control the entire contents of their motherboards. AMD makes the CPUS, ATI makes the GPUs and chipset.
I remember seeing Dell 486 computers for sale in CompUSA in the early 90's. It was a large tower case with a small LCD on the front of the case that was scrolling the words "I am stuck in side a Dell, buy me to release me" or something along those lines.
I've had a D420 apart before. The hard drive is underneath the touch pad. It is one of the smaller drives like they used in the iPods. The connector to the laptop is different as well. it is about a 1cm plug on the end of a ribbon cable that is connected to the drive. It appears to be IDE but I'm not sure, it could be SATA. All the the other current Dell laptops are SATA now. With that being said, it is not very easy to remove the drive. You have to take the keyboard out and the palm rest as well.
I can't see AMD benefiting much from this. Their processors are too different electrically. AMD has an integrated memory controller on the processor, and Intel puts that in the chipset. AMD would have to completely start from scratch with a new CPU to make anything of this. I'm not saying they won't try but it would just stretch their resources much thinner.
POP is pull, Blackberry is push. In ideal circumstances push is faster because the mail is delivered to the client as soon as it comes in. Pop has to be polled at regular intervals. So push is more of a real-time technology. I've worked at places before where my mail would get to my blackberry faster than to Outlook (via Exchange) due to RIM having a lower latency and/or load on their network than the company I was working for at the time. Also pull can be more of a strain on the battery if they device is tugging on the mail server every few minutes.

I'm rather proud of my Pete Townshend Mii that I created. I modeled him after the way he looked at Woodstock.

The article and video do say that the oils can be burned as a diesel fuel or made into other plastic products.

Hansets? Luxury! I had to glue a small magnet to my eardrum and hold a coil of wire next to my head!
It crashes on startup for me. As soon as it his the proxy server where I work, it dies.

Last time I used HPaq, their business support was still outsourced. With Dell, business phone support seems to be North American in origin.

Unlike Franco and Mussolini right?

Non-toxic even at high concentrations is the same thing they said about Thalidomide. The compound created w/o knowing what it cured.
I don't think GPRS has the bandwidth to run Skype. It is only marginally faster than dialup.
