Hey can you send me some links on how it plays with the athlon 64's?
I left town right when the full download was released (not windows update) and when I got back a few days ago I installed it (after reading what I could pick up). I noticed it seemed to slow down some things noticebly but when I looked around I didnt find any comprehensive coverage of SP2 and A64.
but I think in a school setting, running cable wouldnt be very expensive.
My school and other ones I know all have big conduit run to clusters of outlet boxes. pulling another cable wouldnt be too much work (you already have people on staff that can do it in most districts and some rooms already have cable). And if they all have TV's, its probobly a better way to display than force the teacher to make their computer accessable to everyone.
for the price, Ikea definately makes some good quality stuff (I dont know if I would gamble on one of their beds or desk chairs) but as long as you check it out and it looks simple (complex mechanisms for cheap usually are cheap) the desks are good. And the flatware/cups/things like that are rather inventive sometimes (coffee mugs that dont pool with water in the dish washer:) )
I agree, some of those simply gave a link to the main site. I'm pretty sure when I get emails from people like that, they usually include a link to their home page.
I usually am suspicions but I check where the link takes me. This test wouldnt let me check this, so I assumed that the links pointed to where they said to (www.paypal.com/whatever/ points to www.paypal.com/whatever/)
I think that makes the test inaccurate.
if I click a link, it should show me the real target (even if they do a fake replica (something like 201.123.123.34/www.usbank.com/account/blah/)
yes, the gag orders that go along with those things are sure helpful to "bring them in line with modern technology"
Librarian: "Why hello Jim, some nice young men stopped by today and wanted to see those books you checked out last week. I didn't want to show them, but they said I had to and that I couldnt tell yo--"

Ok so its a bit of a stretch there, but the things the act does do quite a good job of violating our rights.
when I got a dell several years ago (PIII-600's were new) there were some initial problems (sound card)
Hell...they made me open it and look before taking it back for warranty (not that I hadnt already done so).
If you are REALLY worried about it, call them and make up some BS problem and when they tell you to open it, stick the card in and say that the problem is better now.
ISP's should block port 25, that is a definate yes at this point in time. But, when a user wants port 25, they should be able to ask and recieve.
Your average cable/DSL user is probobly still using their free yahoo or hotmail account to check email. Maybe they made an ISP account now that POP3/SMTP is offered, but they probobly have no need for an external mailserver.
The next guy up--the one who wants the mailserver--is either someone who knows enough about the internet and can deal with the attacks on their system, or some corporate exec who is told that he needs to do this to check his email. They could have a little quiz about security and if you do well, you get port 25, if you dont do well you can either take a little online class or maybe just buy a NAT box (maybe with a reverse firewall).
I have a nomad jukebox III (creative makes great audio hardware...their software is always shit, so get NotMad explorer) and it allows mic/line/optical recording as well is headphone/line/4.1 audio output.
It sounds great and I like it much more than the ipod (its a lot uglier though...and the interface is only tolerable) because of its versatility and recording.
Of course if all I wanted was a little box to listen to music, I would pay the extra for an ipod but, as it stands the 20GB was cheaper than the smallest ipod and preforms better.
I tried to cancel a free AOL for broadband account (signed up to get a deal...never installed) and the man on the phone couldnt find me. He then informed me that the database was down for security upgrades and would be out for at least the next 48 hours.
WTF kind of company lets their customer database go down for days at a time and doesnt even have techs who know about it (he first rebooted his computer to fix it, then used another computer, then asked his supervisor).
You cant make yourself a sexy elf maiden and then go visit the female prostitutes. You also cant have sexual encounters outside of the brothel...so not true to D&D
everyone on slashdot always seems to get this wrong. Spoilers break up airflow over the vehicle (they SPOIL the shape). They can take effect at very low speeds (well as far as fast cars go) and work by creating turbulence to fill the vacume created as the car accelerates through the air. They work, and they work on FWD RWD and AWD. Some people complain about the spoilers on the STi and the Evo because they feel flimsy. Spoilers dont push down and therefore dont need to support weight, they just need to be lightweight and capable of creating turbulence
What you are thinking of is a wing. F1 cars use wings (same as an airplane but upsidown) to generate downforce. A motorized wing could be used to provide more downforce in corners and then let up to increase acceleration in the straights. The principle of a wing makes it pretty useless on FWD cars (unless its mounted on the hood...).
Now its true that the ricers everyone loves to make fun of enjoy putting giant wings on their cars (and they often arent even functional as a wing, much less as a spoiler). A wing is a handling tool mostly. Unless you have problems with constantly spinning your wheels when going 70, the wing wont help (and will probobly hurt) your acceleration. A spoiler however will help the most in forward acceleration.
A spoiler needs to be matched to the body of the car (no generic bolt on things). Maybe you have seen the popup spoilers on cars like the VW corrado or on some Porsches that pop up when they near highway speeds (or even the whale-tail spoiler of early 911s). These work, but they work because they are carefully matched to the car's geometry. Not the same for those giant wings that look like aluminum siding that you see bolted onto some kids trunk.
Its designed to be run completely from floppys if needed (boot with one and make a ramdisk then add anything extra with more floppies) but it is also installed to the disk with a simple command. I would assume that it would work with a CF card in an ATA adapter (for the PCMCIA slot)
Well the difference between Kill Bill and spiderman...
I agree with Kill Bill though, when I saw the first one (second was a late late show), there were some kids with there parents. No. Not OK.
I think a movie theater chain should do something about it. Meerly suggesting that parents of small children take their kids to earlier shows (shouldnt they be in bed anyway). Shrek 2 may be a kids movie, but it has lots of teen and adult appeal, the 9:00 shoing should really be free of annoying kids (even the kids old enough for the 7:30 should know not to be annoying)
I dont know which to reply to, so I will reply to yours.
With the comment about children and cyclists looking out: I know that drivers should look for them too, but dont be stupid. There is no reason for a child or even a cyclist to be on a road with a speadlimit of 75. Maybe on interstate highways in the middle of nowhere there might be cyclists, but its still a risky deal and most cylcists I know would not risk it. With the exception of the person posted about a kid on his bike, I would hope everyone was taught to look both ways before crossing the street.
Highway speeds in the US, are often recommended to be set at the 85th percentile speed. I'm not sure how they determine the 85th percentile--I would think the only true method would be to remove the speedlimit (or not enforce it) for a period of time and carefully observe speeds--but I think here in minneapolis they definately have the speedlimits set too low. 4 and 6-lane highways do not need a speed limit of 55. The only time when a majority of people arent going faster is rushhour. I see this as an example of wanting to be able to pull people over. A raise to 75 would allow people to legally go a signifigant amount faster (the speed it normally flows now), but it would be harder to find people to pull over. Maybe if there werent quotas and the police didnt want the money so much, this wouldnt be a problem.
And, as to making it harder to get a license here...I completely agree. Another poster (AC modded at 0 I think) mentioned that it couldnt be made more expensive because the government would just have to cover for peopel who couldnt afford it. That wouldnt be neccesary if we had decent public transportation (we just got a lightrail in minneapolis and the latest argument I have seen is "all the new stoplights are going to make my commute XX minutes longer"...often bullshit, and when its not, maybe thats the price you pay for living in a suburb far away from anything else jsut so you can have a big house with a small lawn that looks just like your neighbors).
I dont think the price needs to be raised, just a harder test. As a highschool student, I know a lot of people who have taken it in the last few years. Right now, when someone fails it I dont feel bad for them, I say "well practice more because you shouldnt be on the road." So what if the test was stressful, a good driver can drive under stress. I would much prefer it if passing the test was actually an acomplishment (maybe if it included traffic, since traffic is where most accidents occur...and maybe something where you have to drive at least 30)
And for parallel parking...if you cant do it, you shouldn't drive. If you cant do it because your giant SUV is impossible to get into a spot, well you shouldnt drive that either (unless you actually fill that thing up for work or something at least once a week...if you dont use it right, why have it?). Parallel parking doesnt just allow you to park in a city, it shows that you are spacially aware of your car and that you can mauneuver it properly.
well the doggie could still be sitting there when you are going 75...in fact if you were going 90 the dog might not have made it to the middle of the road yet.
Cyclists and children should look out (children should look out for cyclists as well as cars) and the same could apply to them.
I dont think they worry about dogs on the autobahn
There is a man here in Minnesota who was pulled over recently for what will be his 23rd DWI.
The strib article mentioned that he had been imprisoned for the second one in...wait for it...2002. It is now the middle of 2004 and he has obviously been released again in order to go for his 23rd.
Why does someone who makes a shitty quality copy of a movie deserve a MINIMUM sentance thats greater than the time served by a man who has been caught drinking and driving without license or inssurance and endangering COUNTLESS lives?
Come on congress, enough of this bullshit. Screw your corporate intrests, maybe they wont give you money anymore, but by telling them to fuck off you might just earn a few extra votes and some more private funding.

It isnt going to require any deep knoledge of genetics to listen to and I thought it was fairly interesting. Sorry, no powerpoint presentation included but I dont think you need it (oh and...sorry for any extranious talking picked up by the mic)
Slashdot Mirror
Partially due to the companies that support it, its featureset, and its lack of worldwide acceptance
(verizon sucks)

Instant Physics by Tony Rothman, Ph.D
They had tons of copies in a seperate display and a big huge HDTV playing the demo movie that came out a few days ago.
for the price, Ikea definately makes some good quality stuff (I dont know if I would gamble on one of their beds or desk chairs) but as long as you check it out and it looks simple (complex mechanisms for cheap usually are cheap) the desks are good.

Their gaming computer desk, their fancy gaming chair, their beds and couches to rest on, their cups to drink their caffine from...
So basically us American gamers will have to become more trendy and shop at Ikea (and learn how to put a desk together) in order to stanc a chance.

Pressing next or using direct links from the discussion never ever loaded (I was suck looking at a few racks and a bunch of filing cabinets)
But then I read this and searched for "aeron" (its what I wanted to see if they had anyways...) and POOF instant 17 results.

Be glad slashdot isnt like that :)
