  1. Re:Getting the new SG1 and Atlantis the legal way? on 'Stargate: SG-1' Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Yes thats true. But that wont make me able to watch the new shows. Why should I have to wait 1 or 2 extra years and then buy import DVD that I for sure know the movie companies dont like?

  2. Getting the new SG1 and Atlantis the legal way? on 'Stargate: SG-1' Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Hi

    I live in Sweden and I dont think there are any channel that i can subscribe to in Sweden that are broadcasting Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis. Is there any way i can be able to watch the show without doing illegal downloading of the episodes? I find it very interesting since isn't the movie companies taking our culture for hostage when they say they own the right and don't want to sell it? Whats wrong with my Swedish money by the way?

    I would prefer a better solution putting some pressure on the movie companies. If we say that they only own the right to the movie as long as they provide a flexible non monopolistic way for the customer to buy the stuff (no stupid DRM etc, plain divx, mpeg etc). Otherways anyone is free to upload the episodes/movies/soundtracks to any p2p network without risking legal issues. This is to ensure that people can get hold of the culture.

    I find that a good tradeoff. What about u?

  5. Re:Best for gaming AND doing work? on Building A High-End Gaming Workstation · · Score: 1

    Yes i know!!!
    For example. If you show me how much mac you can get for 1000$ i show you how much pc you can get for 500$.. Then we compare it. Ok?

    Thats what it's all about. Otherways you could always say that mac or pc is nothing agains a giant supercomputer. Im talking price/performace here on avrage systems.

    And i dont think that G5 is the most superior CPU out there. All tests that show that are from apple.com. I found some that says that G5 isnt faster than an amd athlon xp 2000+.. But that depends on what you are benchmarking and that is another story

    Hehe, i posted a similar post just some lines above. Take a look at this link for example. Oki, it might not be the best test but it hasent been done by apple and in this test a simple Athlon xp 2000+ is better than g5

  12. Apple benchmark?!?! Why belive them on Apple Issues New G5 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Im sick of this. Everybody buys apples own benchmark. Hello, Hello, anybody home. Why would they benchmark something that the G5 doesnt do good.

    Take a look at this link. I tried to post a story about it but it got rejected. Probably because the reader was a great apple addict.

    http://www.theandyzone.com/Computer/shootout.htm l

    I dont know about how they did the test but acording to it a G4 or a G5 doesnt perform better then a Athlon Xp 2000+.

    So we might consider that for a while also. I know that the real performance might be in betwean but why do people think that Apples benchmark is the ultimate truths.

    I actualy did the same thing with an ibm deskstar 30gb drive. The controller on the harddrive burned and i lost all my data.

So i asked him if i could borrow it and he said yes

    But when i said what i was going to do he got a bit scared. But all worked well and i must say that im very thankfull that people still belives in the good will of helping others :). Think i have the pictures of the swap here someware if someone wants them :)

  19. Low power cpu - A great thing on VIA's New Nehemiah M10000 Processor Reviewed · · Score: 3, Informative

    I think it is a great thing that a company has started to make low power cpus. Imagine all those P4 and AMD cpus out there that waits for Word to tell them to do something. You dont need 3ghz for that. A modern P4 or AMD processor uses about 70W of energy for nothing.

    Hey if you could reduce that to 35W you are not only geting 35W less for the cpu you are also lowering the power consumtion on the air condition. An office building that starts to take the power consumtion serius could save lots of cash on electrical bill and probably some on the environment to :)

  23. Is everything ready or will it take some while? on Red Hat Releases x86_64 Technology Preview, GinGin · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I remember when the mmx processor came. It hade this all new instructions that would increase the preformance with over 400% or something :).. But there where no applications so all the mmx instructions did was increasing the cpu core -> making the cpu extra hot. Today we atleast have some programs that utilize the mmx instructions. But how long did it take? Now to the point. When they make a opteron dist "Windows 64 and Redhat for example" do they only make sure that all applications can run, like only patching the necesary or do they redisign the whole os optimizing it for speed?
