Really, I define boot as power to login screen. You do have a login screen right?? On my computer(s) windows 2k boots faster on a celery 300 than XP on my athlon 1900+. Go figure. Oh and the celery has a raid 5 running that makes the boot to OS slower. but it still beats xp to login screen.
Unless you have a different definition of sin than God.
Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Actually, I think the wall is an excellant example, but not how you think.. Each part is a work of art and the whole is a masterpiece.
And continuing the book analogy, Could be compared to some of RAH collections of short stories from his future history. Each part is individually great, but the cohesive whole is greater than the additive sum of the parts.
Oddly enough, that makes more sense with a book, since recurring(pressing/printing) costs on a PB are obviously higher than creating a CD/case/cover notes. Just my observation. If I wanted to self publish a cd, my recurring costs would be $2 or so per 1k lot If I wanted to self publish a book, recurring costs would be about $3 for the same. the CD could sell for $10 the book would sell for $6 or $7. Obviously for 10k or 100k lots the economies of scale take over, but the proportion doesn't particularly change.
Under $500 if I buy it on my own. If I spec out(which I did) a 2.2 GHz Celeron, 17 inch monitor 60 gig HD 128MB RAM, 10/100 ethernet 56k modem firewire and USB I get a pricetag of 1109. And since the Emac, as best as I can discern has a ATI Radeon 7500 with 32MB DDR video memory. which certainly will outperform a "Integrated Intel® Extreme 3D Graphics". I also had to add in the video editing software and make sure that I was getting a Professional OS, not the crippled Home version.

I don't think he did a good enough job. "talking around" protected information can yeild enough information for a violation, and in this instance, I think it may have.

Wail, Interesting narrative, definitely appears to confirm the speculation we have read, now we just wait till SCO presses charges against you for violating the NDA, and we'll know its true SCO has no case...
The point I was/am still trying to make was that the 64-bit aspects(the engine in our car example) will be the same. The power train will allow the OpteronDX to tow a boat vs using the OpteronSX to street race. Different applications, same fundamental tool, but I could be wrong....
I don't think so tho, because AMD wants to grab some Itanium market share, and isn't going to be doing parallel seperate development of 2 64-bit x86 chips when they could be using tandem teams with regular crosstalk.
Granted. However the point I was trying to make stands. The minor differences between the Opteron and the OpteronSX(AMD64) will be primarily cosmetic and not architectural. See FAQ from AMD
Q: What are the differences between the AMD Athlon 64 and AMD Opteron processors?
A: The upcoming AMD Opteron and AMD Athlon 64 processors are designed for different markets. For the server/workstation market, the AMD Opteron processor will undergo more stringent validation and reliability testing. Another difference will be in the number of HyperTransport links embedded on the chip. The AMD Athlon 64 processor will contain one HyperTransport link offering 6.4 GB/s data transfer while the AMD Opteron processor will offer three links. The processors will also contain different amounts of cache.
Ok, Now You didn't include the OS, and yes I know you might linux on it, but if you put windows on, there is another $200 so now we go to $800, and your average person wants to run office, there goes another $100. DUDE you're getting an e-mac.
UH, Perhaps you missed the fact that Apple has at least 2 sizes of notebook, the 17 inch monster, and the 13 inch practically pocket sized. I haven't used either extensively(notebook not in my budget ATM) but I have seen them at Compusa etc, and they look and feel great. Not just talking about interface, but general form factor and keyboard type stuff that notebook vendors typically get wrong.
The law in the US is SIMILAR, and until it goes to court the interpretation hasn't happened yet, but "trading" is more harshly punished than "publishing" and "publishing" is more harshly punished than "recieving" So the moral of the story is to go back to usenet, and have disposable accounts for requesting and posting.
The reasons to have your next PC upgrade be a Mac keep increasing, and the only thing that might make the PC platform attractive are the rumors that HP will be releasing an Opteron soon. Personally I can't wait till I can have a 64-bit desktop machine with built in Gigabit.
YOu mean like the reproductions of DaVinci's David that you will occasionally see with the cute little fig leaf? Granted David has reached public domain status, but that doesn't mean that it isn't the purchaser's right to choose between leafy and leafless David.
You mean like having a custom frame/glass combo for a Rembrandt that is available for you to use when you hang it in your home. Perhaps you don't mind having it on your wall, but when you have dinner guests who might be offended, you would switch in the glass that covers the "offensive" part.
What about the people who would like to watch fellowship of the ring with their kids and would prefer not to watch the birthing of Lurtz. Personally, I can do without seeing that ever again, but the dialog there is important so some sort of key saying from 32:23-33:50 loop 32:18-32:22 video and leave the audio. It could be something like a bookmark that would be stored by the player and could be turned on or off. I like the idea.
And of course as someone else noted watching kate winslet in titanic was sort of the whole redemption of the movie, along with leo drowning, But we could cut the 10 minutes of them pressing against the glass in that car... No redeeming qualities at all.
I like that idea alot. altho, I have perfected a personal system for bringing the brakelights on without losing momentum, an automatic flash the lights, or even a triggered give me 15 seconds of brake light button would be perfect.
Both the Mercedes, Volkswagon and GM systems will apply the brakes. I remember reading about it in Consumer reports. But for some reason, I couldn't google any useful information.

Uh, those are full of Harry Potter 5:Order of the Phoenix. I think. They got mis-directed from Amazon to Apple.

I just specced out a Dell comparable in performance to the $999 eMac with the Combodrive(DVD/CDRW) The eMac won by over $100.
And we all know that the XP and the MP are so very much different. I mean you couldn't use an XP in an MP board just by painting some traces. RIGHT?

Did you miss the memo about OS-X having a *nix kernal and being able to run ~everything linux can.
Neither, I am simply striving towards Nerdvana. Someday I will reach it. Gigabit everywhere, and more computers than I can use. GAHH!!!
Send me an e-mail username(mine) @yahoo.com I'd buy it... Pretty sure I'm not the only one.
