well just thinking, Dan tends to review more generic stuff than most guys, but he does have a sense of humour, and is very straight foward with what he thinks of things.
I thought I read at some stage that people were compiling 64bit + SSE2 optimized code on the Intel Itanium CPU's then running the code on Opteron servers and seeing insainly large performance benifits.
Sound familiar to anyone?? Or did i just imaging the whole thing.
Hackers are like schroedinger's cat, they are both good and bad, while at the same time being neither good NOR bad, untill you can see the effects of their actions..
what about disabling the UPNP on the router? i have a DSL-500 ( ADSL router ) at home and it also has the UPNP crap in it.
All i have to do is uncheck the *do you want to use this* box, then the UPNP is disabled.. is there an option to disable the UPNP on the other products??
1. Set up 1 machine how you want it. 2. Use Ghost / Drive Image or what ever your favourite drive cloning utility is, to image all the drives in no time at all 3. Go in and change HD, Network, etc names. 4. Smile because you just did something in 4 steps that took a mac user 6
WTF!! ?? You dont have time to build a PC, but you *DO* have time to waste calling up big companys, loging all your calls, writing letters, going to small claims, and dicking arround for hours on end ?? What planet are you on..
Like i said in my first post, go to a good white box maker and have them make one for you. Oh and if you thing that DELL's or IBM notebooks are better than your average whitebox, you'd just about be wrong.
Laptops... ??? what about em, I work for a small pc wholesaler here in.au , one of my jobs is supervising pc construction we build PC's and Notebooks / Laptops to customer spec's everyday of the week.
The Laptops are OEM Acer / Aopen , sure they might not have all the bells and whistle's, but if you dont want Windows etc, you dont have to have it.
But you do have the option of almost any Intel / AMD cpu, upto 1gb ram, up to 60Gb HD, wireless anyone? , onboard lan , what else is there that you really must have?
Also if you can afford one that does have all the bells and whistles and does cost an Arm & a Leg im sure the extra $$ you have to pay really isnt going to bother you all that much now is it ?
Or you could avoid the whole situation all together, and just go down to your nearest White Box PC maker and tell em you dont want windows when they screw the machine together for you..
Either that, or just by the parts and build it yourself, seriously, if you are tech enough to run linux, you *should* be tech enough to build your own box..
I dont really follow HP hardware in my line of work, but hey... Brand name PC, with warranty and Helldesk support for a product that isnt MS.
It sounds like a good thing to me, it can only increase competition, and that has to be a good thing.. right?
Sides, this looks to me like its aimed squarely at Joe Average home user , not the Uber Geeks that speend weeks on end compiling Gentoo for the fun of it.
People should be saying *Yay for Linux*, not "Boo this isnt news worthy"

The *D*, probly got that 486-33 CPU from someone elses PC that had been sitting there as evidence for about 6 years. :P

Well, if your the Queen of spain, there is this inquisition that i have been meaning to talk to you about.
we should all be paid to review the movie before we go and see it.
That way we know wether to spend the money we were paid to see the movie, on going to see the movie.

PDA's like BSD are dying!
for windows users do as follows
1. Set up 1 machine how you want it.
2. Use Ghost / Drive Image or what ever your favourite drive cloning utility is, to image all the drives in no time at all
3. Go in and change HD, Network, etc names.
4. Smile because you just did something in 4 steps that took a mac user 6

Wouldnt that mean that MS has to pay SCO as well ?
That would be like the Devil selling his soul to

Sounds a lot like the SlashDot effect being demonstrated IRL.
Steve Irwin is not shown on Australian TV at all. Fairly much noone here can stand him.
.... I'm sorry.. who .. !! ( he hasnt done anything here in years )
Russle Crow is from NZ origionally, IIRC.
and Paul Hogan
Hugh Jackman and Heath Ledger ( spl ) are more like the typical ( famous ) Australian male
Also its a Prawn, not a Shrip and *NO ONE!!!* drinks Fosters beer.
