Where did I get 150 years? While I studied Electrical Engineering I took a class called "Energy in Society" and in several documents there was info leading to that conclusion, including info from the Department of Energy. Maybe the number is off by +/- 10%, but 17 years, thats ridiculous. If oil doesnt come from the ground where does it come from? Even ocean rigs get their oil from under the sea floor. I never said we could not be self sufficient, but how many people do you know that give a crap about it.
Nice work. Delving deeper into the veggie petrol, I think we need to consider that the lobby in Washington and, no doubt, in other countries for oil companies is way too powerful to make this kind of switch. As humans we enjoy plundering natural resources at an unrecoverable rate. In less than 150 years the worlds oil reserves will be scarce. I think by the time we are in the ground, people will reconsider veggies as a source of fuel. Solar power!? Whats that? I hate vegatables, but im sure all those vitamins would shave at least a second off my quarter mile.
Old news. How many times have I heard threats from the RIAA. Sony sued my school back in 2000. P2P ports were throttled down to like.00000001 kbps, which adversely affected legitamate software. I wish the RIAA would take care of the source, such as big P2P promoters, instead of attacking the average joe. Piracy was around before the internet and will surely be around for the span of our lifetimes. Everytime someone is knocked offline, 5 more join the community. Looks like the recording industry should sell theirselves on service and not product. Open source software is the first intelligent step to tomorrow. It free to most of us anyway, cant remember the last time I bought a CD or paid for software. Doubt there are many of us here who haven't pirated something. Doubt it felt like you were stealing either.
Looks like Microcrap is thinking it can take over the Boardwalk of search engines. I think it's understandable since they own everything else on the board. Scary
I think we all want someone to beat Microsoft at their own game. My only hope is that more companies start porting their apps towards UNIX based environments. Linux is great at work, but at home I am locked into a microsoft PC because of gaming / multimedia. At least Lindows is making progress on bridgeing the gap. 2 thumbs up for effort to those guys.
AMD is the only thing keeping the price down on Intel's Market-tecture. It's cool to jump on the bandwagon. I assume you've used windows since you were itty bitty. The good ol' winhell combo. About the cache. If you want to cough up the bucks you could have bought an Alpha 21364 with a s*itload of on-die cache, but Intel bought them. CPU Cache memory probably costs about 100x's as much as System memory so your CPU's jump in $$$. You're not going to get a beefy cash because of pricepoint. Suck it up. BTW...AMD rocks dont buy Intel
