True, but I think the main reason I stick with Intel is the quality of the driver software. Via and Realtek are ok hardwarewise, but I prefer Intel standing behind the software that drives the hardware.
I've been running cheap desktop units as servers for email, http and win shares for 5 years. No problems. Just buy decent power supplies, check that all the fans are turning once in a while, and change out the hard disks every year or two.
It is the business of friends to meddle in the affairs of their friends. That's the difference between friends and acquaintances. Of course, they should know whether it is prudent in that particular matter or not. That is the difference between friends and "friends".
Your certainty of social obligation (rolls eyes) leads me to believe you must be a liberal.
Go back and read my post. I never said it wasn't my business what religion my friends are.
My objection was meddling in other's religious affairs. Perhaps the difference is too subtle for you so I'll spell it out. I know the religion of my friends. I don't nag them to go to church or temple. That would be one instance of the difference.
As to voters, my personal feeling is that if someone doesn't care to vote, they probably aren't informed and probably should not vote. Just my opinion, but I'm entitled to it.
"So conclude researchers who have found that Chinese children with reading difficulties have different brain anomalies to their Western counterparts"
So why is it a brain anomaly if you or I have reading difficulties? I mean, were we genetically disposed to read, or hunt and gather? I think it's a mistake to assume a "normal" brain reads well and an "abnormal" brain doesn't. It's not like natural selection has created a pool of "good reading brains".
Truman had major runins concerning the Korean war. He wanted to preserve exactly the same thing as Bush. Does it make it right? Probably not. Is it OT for slashdot? Definitely.
About 10 years ago I was elected to the board of directors of a wastewater district. We captured the methane from the digesters and used it to drive the aereation (sp) blowers. Saved about $30k/month in electricity. Most of the time surplus methane had to be flared off.
Now some places also dewater the sludge and burn it to generate energy. Quite a bit more messy and polluting than just using the methane.
All this technology has been around for about 20 years. It's just complicated and sometimes polluting. There's almost always regulatory issues about who can sell power to who, who can burn what where and so on.
About a year ago it occured to me that this concept would be patentable. Of course, I had neither the time, inclination or business plan to follow up on it.
Seriously, there are only about 4 or 5 SDRAM producing companies in the world and Mushkin isn't one of them. You can bet that Mushkin bought from one of the biggies.
I don't know how to get the smell out of the existing equipment, but what you might want to look into is equiping the server room aircon with potassium permangate filters. They are widely used in sewage treatment plants to keep the control room fresh-smelling. It may be that with the filters, the smell will dissipate after a few month.
His second term, Supreme Court tossed a bunch of New Deal laws, he tries some kind of novel and slimy trick to get rid of all of them? Don't have the history book here at work to check it out. I only remember that it backfired badly, with moderate demos jumping ship and condeming him.

And his Windows Media Center bullshit must be a Good Thing.

One thing I forgot. If you're using commodity motherboards, disable the onboard lan controllers and use Intel Pro100 PCI controllers.

Michael didn't report this story?
Maybe because it casts liberals in a bad light?
I wished I could mod you up.
Very, very true. There's way more parrots than reporters.
I am a little surprised someone who chose the name HotNeedleOfInquiry is worried about being meddlesome.
Don't be. It's merely a reference to the spaceship in Niven's Ringworld, not the Kzinti instrument of torture.

Is it my business whether or not my friends vote.
Like religion, it should be an individual decision and like religion, I find people who meddle in the affairs of others in these issues annoying.

Oh. Right. Nevermind.
Here we have it folks, a hardcore stand-up programming topic and only 19 comments. Is Slashdot overwhelmingly populated with posers?
Not to pick nits, but here's some corrections:
Truman,Eisenhower - Korea Kennedy - Bay of Pigs
I bet if we go back further, we could find more.

Where do you want to land today?

If sound doesn't travel in a vacuum, why are vacuum cleaners so loud?
Last time I looked, Mushkin didn't have a fab.
Seriously, there are only about 4 or 5 SDRAM producing companies in the world and Mushkin isn't one of them. You can bet that Mushkin bought from one of the biggies.
Common usage around here would be "broke" 'course that might be 'cause I'm only one generation removed from white trash. Or maybe that's White Trash.
I didn't know they were broke...

Because the Demos damn sure will as soon as they have the minority.
