Chicken and egg, copy protection is changing all the time. A CD player cannot be tested with every variant of dumb copy protection they can dream up. Such copy protection does not conform to any known CD standard and so the results are bound to be unpredictable.
CD copy protection is experimental to say the least, no scheme will work with all players and so such protection is at fault. The CD system was never designed to be abused in such a way.
People do similar things now with silver paint and laquer.
At the end of the day who's product is it after you've purchased it? it's yours, you don't license the CPU. Therefore you should be able to do whatever you like with it, just don't tell anyone if such tinkering breaks any laws.
This will just reduce the popularity of Intel further if such ideas are integrated into their product. Combine this fiasco with "palladium" type technology, Intel's slightly unpopular 64-bit offering and you can see that AMD have a lot to gain from not implementing such things.
Indeed, here in the UK we pay farmers not to grow crops. Surely it would be better to pay them to grow fuel? oh but then the government wouldn't get extortionate tax revenue from all the North Sea oil we produce.
It's not so much if we're ready, it's which 64-bit chip are we ready for.
I believe AMD's chip is the best for the home user, Itanium will be too power hungry. You'll never see an Itanium notebook in my opinion as the design isn't a real world solution.
The masses using a PC as an entertainment hub in the living room will only happen when PCs are nearly silent, But the way we're going they never will be.
Formatting a disc was a pain though as the drives weren't dumb mechanisms connected to a controller in the computer, they were computers themselves. The 1541 was basically a file serving computer that sent filles over the serial bus. Problem was the software in the 1541 was really bad, very slow.
The later Athlon XP cores (thoroughbred) run much cooler at higher clock speeds and faster. So downclocking such a chip would result in less cooling needed.
True, but Microsoft provides updates for their products much longer than Red Hat does and for free.
You buy Windows and software updates are provided until Microsoft signs off the OS. With Red Hat you buy the OS and then have to buy a subscription for the updates.
Yes you can use unofficial methods for updating Red Hat, but you may as well of just installed Debian if you were going to use apt-get.
This is Red Hat though, a well packaged Linux distribution.
Not (IMHO) a technically good Linux distribution, others are leaner and meaner. But for the corperate environment it's ideal. But I do have concerns about the very short length of the security update subscription provided with Red Hat. Installing apt4rpm provides a way around this in some cases.

But if you take an existing wheel and improve it then it's much easier and you get a higher quality result.
Plenty of open sourse mail systems, fork one and improve/adapt it.
Why reinvent the wheel? plenty of clients out there.

Bah, there's plenty of bad pr0n. Pr0n with pimply ugly woman is bad!!!!
But why spend money to stop people overclocking, it makes the product more expensive and wastes development time that could be better spent.
I would imagine that overclocking generates quite a bit of income for the chip makers. With all those fried chips they sell more.

They don't resent, they just know the US is the biggest polluter.
But in doing so they made the drive almost slower than tape.
Turbo loaders were pretty reliable on tape, saved waiting 20 minutes for a game to load.
I never had many problems with discs, although I had an accelerator drive as 1541s were becoming scarce.
LOAD "$",8

Won't stop them being stolen or left in a taxi.
Except that I can have a customised KDM login screen with different colours etc.. I would imagine a faked login screen would look different.

More people are streaming live news feeds than normal.
Performance and reliability are generally features for the technically minded.
The main advantage I see is the compact footprint of such units combined with low weight.
Any new innovation results in a price premium, DDR RAM was expensive not long ago. Only recently is it becoming as cheap as SDRAM.
True :)
But it's the technical details that you would patent, automated mailings etc..
Good idea, someone patent spam quick!!

Stability perhaps, it's produced by one person.
Slack has had a reputation for being difficult, but compated to installing Gentoo it's quite simple to install.
If they're sensible designers it's a programmable CPU/DSP on a card, you could then write and upload any compression algorithm onto the card.

I would expect nothing less for a server OS, Red Hat have close ties with Oracle and I would expect good support when deploying a database.

Can't they get him to do the voice and face movements then stick them onto someone elses body? it worked in gladiator.
