A few days of frustrating troubleshooting by a team of techs discovered the problem:
On a high-end server, usually, a user process would only get about 2% of the CPU, if programmed right. Since the the server's functions are always in priority, user functions always get a tiny fraction of the CPU.
Even if the server had a screwed up configuration, taking a few days to figure out a task that's taking 100% CPU is not right. All a UNIX machine needs is a simple 'top' to see CPU allocation.

How many audio CDs I've bought this year: 0. In my life: 0. Amount of Audio CDs I've burned this year: 0.

CD-Rs used for burning games: 50 CD-Rs used for burning movies: 50 CD-Rs wasted- don't know how I used them: 50 CD-Rs used for back-up and other computer purposes (software piracy included): 50.
1/16th of my CD-R collection wasn't used to record music. How about you?:)
Many will also end up supporting Ogg Vorbis, since it's become a popular audio encoding format for DivX's. (Or so I hope.)
Ogg Vorbis isn't really supposed to be used for DivXs. It's a VBR system, when AVIs require a CBR audio compressor, otherwise the video gets really screwed up. Now if there was a way to get ogg to do CBR....
I don't follow that math. Possible moves? No, only 19x19 (max) per move, right? Possible positions? That would be 3^(19x19), right? Possible games? Harder to calculate (too lazy). I still don't see the (19x19)!
They meant 19x19, and then a ! for emphasis, not 19x19 factorial, which would be Error- stupid kcalc!
As I see it, there's no way to be (19x19)! possibilities. The number skyrockets and there is no rationale for the !. Therefore, I reach my conclusion above.
It seems to me that the DOS[1] has streamlined the process since 9/11: rubber-stamp all visa applications from Russia with "no". Now it takes less than 60 seconds.... [1] Feel free to expand that as "Department of State" or "Denial of Service", as you see fit.
What about Disk Operating System?
It seems that DOS has streamlined the process.... all with no. Now it takes less than 60 seconds.:)
I've been crunching numbers for SETI for a while now. It's sad that they're running out of money, but it's a part of how their program works. All that bandwidth, and nobody paying for it. They don't get any ad money, and bandwidth is very hard to come by these days. Heck, every one person has to download a few hundred KiB of data every few hours.
That may not sound like much... but when you have 4,027,337 users, it's a lot. Even assuming that only 1/4 of those users actively contribute, you're still looking at a million people downloading > 2 megs a day. Also, some of those million people run whole server farms, and that can build the cost up to 100 megs a day.
Bandwidth isn't cheap. If they run out of funding, I'll be sad to see them go.
Interestingly enough, there is no threatening 'or else' stuff in those letters. Not yet...
But how could they add an 'or else' statement? The colleges haven't been doing anything. There's no way you can serve someone with a cease and desist or anything like that without THEM breaking laws. If anyone's breaking a law, it's the students!

This is a hoax. As reported by CNN. I quote:
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Heard the rumor about the upcoming $50 price cuts for the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and GameCube? Forget it.
OGG - user 99154 - NO comments
OOG - user 135011 - NO comments.
Earlier days? OGG seems to be the lower UIN!
That makes a lot more sense. Thank you for the clarification.

supposed to be funny? but I can't find a link anywhere about overclocking a mouse. Have I been trolled?
run TAC [freshmeat.net] on the command line
:)
Before I clicked that link, I thought you wanted me to TAC the server. Little use that would be, I thought
Please use a working link:
and the guy that said that has been known to bullshit on that forum, so people are doubting him.
What's the quality of the hardware got to do with it?
Crappy CD-ROM drive sometimes => No Digital Output.
No Digital Output => Crappy Rips.
uh-oh! *fires up babelfish* translation: le système d'exploitation = the operating system.
rigggght. Is this supposed to be a false cognate or a real cognate? (A operating system is the point of exploits... I guess... or...)

The new mouse fixes the IRQL BSoD, but I still get Win32k.sys BSoDs... at least, when I'm booting into windows. :)
Anyone got a reason for those?
It's currently ''. Stinger, eh?
:)
and no, I did not look at the image, I used wget on goatse's index.html
I tried switching the switch from 110 to 220 in my 110-volt library... the machine still worked. I was like WTF!
Anyone got more info on how those voltage switches work?

I'll stop rambling now.
mm? slightly bad RAM? I get this when I plug in my faulty mouse....
;)
I even returned my mobo + ram of the new computer but then I figured out it was the mouse after moving to the laptop for a while
Remember... UNIX is user-friendly. It's just picky who its friends are.

It's getting bigger! Soon it'll be up to 20,000 bytes! (estimate: around RedHat 19.0)

You wasted two bytes! Looking at the HTML source, your message reads: "<b> <i> </i></b>". You can save two bytes by using this code: "<b><i></i></b>"!
I'll use preview next time, I promise!
