No one seems to be mentioning the driver opening but I think it would be nice if Linux could finally resolve one of it's key hypocracies.
Linux is supposed to have excellent performance (Or at least customizability which could lead to excellent performance) yet in desktop applications and games it falls behind, time and time again I hear linux users saying that their more powerful runs windows because of gaming.
The overclocking tweaking, high end hardware crowd creates the biggest hardware margins and spends a lot of time customizing software and hardware yet are excluded when a +1 fps advantage could win them over.
At some point having information on the internet will be no diffrent from walking down the street.
I would contest it's already far safer (Though my country has better I.D. theft legislation than most others).
Keeping extremely personal stuff secure is important (Such as banking info and the ability to create credit cards for yourself).
I think people are definitly more image concious of themselves on the internet which is unfortunate, people seem to think they are so interesting people will harass them without motivation.
We have the new and perhaps ultimate form of virus prevention now though... it's a pretty complicated concept so they created a simple short form, they call it T.V.
Agreed, the Pentium system from Dell is $3000 U.S. which is an absurd figure, like back in the old days!
Opterons have trounced Itanics and Xeons even worse than the XP's Trounced the P-4s in value.
If you need an 8 cpu system (800 series) of dual cores (minimum 10 cores max 16 cores). Then you'll pay a premium but you'll be running in house code anyway so it will be a tiny drop in the bucket.
A question does anyone know why the low clock speeds? Marketing, Stability, Price?
Though trains are expensive the cost of people running the system is even more so.
Really they will likely move the costs to busses which can travel further from the city.
And since more of the trains are automated they might be able to keep them open later at night (Where I live they go down at 2:00 same time bars close [ouch])...
The system is awsome but it's quite inefficient, I've travelled on about 60-70 diffrent public transit systems and cost varry widely (Accounting for cost of living fluxuations)... New York, Paris, Toronto, London, Ottawa are not at the top of the efficiency pyramid.
Beijing, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur are... they have certain advantages in terms of population density but most of seems to be a commitment to efficency.
Double doors are good, vicious conductors are even better.
L.A.'s system of no ticket collectors is increadible and seems to work well, I met several teenagers there who were surprised to find I didn't have a ticket (I was on an unexpected stopover with no American Currency.)
Um well you thumbed your noses at communism where you would be forced to distribute some of your wealth (or even your products which are increadibly cheap after the investment in R. & D.) and now you've decided to thumb your nose at capitalism which has the end goal of maximum efficiency through market pressure.
Why don't we make all american's kings of their little castles and bow to them... Here stupid king here's some mcdonalds.
Intel has hit a wall around the (5-10)ghz mark and it seems like it will take about 7 years to get over it.
So instead of pushing right up to the wall and then sitting on their hands for 6 years they are slowly moving towards it. Stalling.
AMD doesn't care because their chips are faster and cheaper so they are making more money while slowly increasing market share. (Maybe Intel has chips at the wall already in case AMD keeps trying some shit).
Considering a 2.2 GHZ AMD chip is faster than a 4.0 GHZ pentium they should keep pushing the theoretical wall is probably a silicon problem and so they'll be able to yield 180% performance compared to Intel.
Either way AMD will walk away from all this with a competitive market share.
Because American currency is the global currency, they like to make sure the bills that terrorists buy nuclear weapons with is still legal.
Seriously 2/3rds of physical american currency is overseas and therefore difficult to replace. (Not to mention an excellent way to create a loan the government never has to pay back.
By saying it is a problem, and voting against it (Which I'm sure they will. It's comming from some back bencher within the NDP not even their leading people.)
They send a big wake up call to the U.S. who will get heavy with Martin who's a putz and we'll get our currently good for us good for musicians system shut down and we'll be looking at lawsuits.
This MP needs to talk to some Canadian musicians.
This could probably all be settled by looking at her bank history, cough.
There are already drugs which control your sex drive (Salt Petre [sp?]).
Women's sex clock works diffrently from men's but rest assured it's there, they try not to think about their aging ovaries just like men take cold showers (insert your personal sex control mechanism).

If you compare it to the 6 billion some members of earth not impressive.
If you compare it to the few hundred million internet connected computers it is very impressive.

Send RIAA execs back to kindergarten.... share children.
This never made sense to me, trust your users or don't!
You can delete a file with no backup or prompt but you need to su to install a program!
Linux should make user data files (maybe limited to 1 meg) inviolate and everything else more flexible.

Um I hope you're joking shoutcasting has been around for about 8-9 years.
On my 40k up I can support approximatly 260 users.
The one where you don't give soundbytes that make you look like a chump when you get stabbed in the back by your marketting department?
Um in the heyday of Napster, Kazaa and Morpheus there was considerably more music available through them then at the music store.
The music store thus became a non viable option for getting music.

But what if it affects your tax bracket?
You move to the top tax bracket because say you earn $100,000k but when you make your $37,000,000 from stock sales you lose 37% of it.
But if you earn $1 go into the 13% bracket you get much more money... see how silly the system probably is?

I give up keep watching wrestling.

But then the data will replace other signals and be interpretted as such.
You really want to read slashdot with some throw away sense? Like hunger, DAMN I'M HUNGRY MUST BE AN SCO STORY.
This will come from Nasa.

Prenatal conditioning?
The brain is very flexible in terms of interpretting data.
It might be possible.
