Throw in some late night Dr. Who and Blake's Seven, and we're set.
They could truly fill up the whole day and night with one show a day of: Highlander series, The Prisoner, Forever Knight, etc, etc, just by taking out the reruns of the 3 tremor movies.
The test was done in an IT shop that ran tests on different amounts of RAM in a '98 box. No matter how much RAM they added, they saw no activity in the RAM above the 89MB mark.
However, perhaps the apps they were using were at fault. Then again, the apps they were using were the apps they were concerned with.
No kidding. The GHZ numbers on the AMD cpu's only go up.07Ghz each chip. That's only 70 MHZ.
Athlon 2100+ = 1.73 GHz
Athlon 2200+ = 1.80 GHz
The price difference though is much higher. I think the article at acehardware loses all respectibility when they chose the Athlon 2800+. "Oh, by the way, they only made 3 copies of this CPU, so you might not be able to buy it. But oh well, here's our specs on it!"
Well, the OS is definately at fault then. You do realize that Win98 never used more than 89MB of RAM.
NT and XP is suppose to use whatever you can throw at it, but, from what you're saying it is not using it effectively. That is a true shame, since nowadays RAM is really cheap.
I've heard of huge improvements of busy SQL servers moving from 128MB to 256, 512, and 1GB of RAM. This was as far back as NT4 days. So it *is* getting used. But I'm not sure why you're not seeing the full effects.
By the way, you're not using XP-Home edition are you?
I remember those days. And I remember back then when people said business would kill the internet "some day". I always agreed, but laughed inside, thinking the day would be long in coming.
I wonder what your site is that you're talking about. Currently I'm scraping a site too, (music related) but besides messy HTML, there are no tricks. I'm hoping no one has scraped them badly enough to cause them to change their HTML up much.
I know the site I am trying to build a database from charges a lot of money for their database. I don't think a $5/month charge would work in this case. I believe that the only revenue they create happens to be the few customers that they sell their database to.
What we have here is one dumbass (me) complaining about some dipshit's post (you) that is complaining about some stupid article (slashdot) talking about some childish site (pennyarcade) bitching out another stupidass gaming site (aintitcool)
But that's what they do. The talk about what is on their minds, and what matters to them.
Of course.. this usually amount to "not much of a life, eh?"
Do you remember that one cartoon they did making fun of the guy's comic strip that laid out the plans of making money magically due to micro-payments? That was a classic. And recently their crack-addled CEO rendition of the Infinium Phantom vapor release? Good stuff. If anything, I'd just complain that today's comic was boring as hell. They could have atleast drawn the rats and the barrels (with maybe Tycho and Gabe-faces on all the rats)
If the government, army, police, or FBI want to build a folder on me because of certain crimes (selling drugs? racketeering?....price fixing....being a monopoly, hint hint) then they can and maybe should.
But having some corporation who thinks they have a god-given right to profits BUY out the government and do the dirty work for them... no way. Also, the punishment should also fit the crime.
This might be a fun way for those 20,000 employees to remember their good-ol-days back in the dot-com business before they watched their stock options plummet to 2 cents a share.
However, it's hard not to think of this book as being as worthless an investment as the companies that it covers.
What I meant to say was "public" corps. I've seen many well run family business's turn public....then see themselves get booted out of the company they started by the board, and then it's all numbers after that.
There's lots of family-run companies that care about the employees, but I've seen few publicly run corps that would even think about it unless they thought it could change their bottom line.

I thought the CIA funded Hitler?

Which is why the movie, Starship Troopers, is the best movie of all time

Dude, did you know atari games are down to 50 cents a piece now?!

It does? It had an email listed to contact them if you wanted access to internal docs. That doesn't necessarily mean their database is all yours.

Is the Dragon Files some sort of conspiracy theory tv show about dragons?
You're not required to have a social security number. (True!)
All this, just so you "only" have to spend $200 on new plates.
That sounds like me. Although I had a Trash-80 instead of a Commordor 64 (thus losing out on that golden era of hacking on 300 baud modems).
Or Mac.

True. When you see a hacker at work at 7 a.m., it's not because he came in early. It's because he hasn't left work yet.
I'm hoping for Bunnickens that will lay those tasty Cadbury eggs year round.

Corps are the opposite of family owned businesses.
No joke: The only law enforcement agency you'll have to worry about is the Disney Legal Dept. Give me an L.A. cop beating anytime!
