the reason i build my own copmuters is i get to pick each component, Good stuff instead of the crap alot of computers come with nowadays. When i build myself a server (home use) i research each part and then buy and build it. Everyone is amazed when they hear my computers, they are quite, stable, and fast. And i enjoy doing it:) plenty of reasons to roll out your own.
But if i'm building one for a friend as a favor, I get decent parts, no expensive but still good. it takes me about 2 hours, includeing basic OS install. Putting the parts togeather taks less then 30 min. Usualy cheaper then pre built. The hardware lasts. They have no problems.
Also computers i build are pretty dman quite like the macs. Pre built PCs are never quite
Used to be prebuilt computers REALLY sucked. might not be true nowadays thou. times have definity changed in the last 5-10 years.
I think it is theft of services? Either what its not "stealing"/"theft" in the shoplifting sense and is called something diffrent.
The barber has to prove that he performed a service at a reasonable price at your request for you to be convicted, and sense its 5000 there would be next to no punishment. hell if you steal a CD from a store its 5000 and is petty theft, get less time for stealing 10 CDs then shareing them on the net.
sadly no one makes good DURABLE consumer cell phones any more that are just phones with no useless features, oh and it has to have GOOD reception.
Alls i want is a phone that is JUST a phone, long battery life, and won't break or fail at the drop of a hat like the newer ones.
If you know of one please point me at it. i'm sick of these new camera phones with color screens that dont' work anywhere nearly as good as cell phones used it.
our power company (BC hydro) is VERY good. in 10 years living in this house there have been 2 power outages, the last caused buy a trasformer blowing out at 5AM, and it was replaced and power back on in less then 6 hours.
they even post all the outages in BC, causes, location, duration, # of customers affected. http://www.bchydro.com/outages/
i mean how cool is that:)
also first major snow of the year right now here, so theres alot of cars smashing into things.
What you go through isn't acceptable, and whoever is running your power company should be fired and replaced. How can you and those in your area put up with that?
Well you might get eye strain from a CRT, you've hit on none of the possible reasons.
a CTR doesn't "fire" dust into your eyes, a CRT give the glass a charge that ATTRACTES dust. There is no truth to that at all and you should be modded down for that sigle statement.
Eyestrain with a CRT is almost always caused buy a huge resolution on a small moniter and/or a low refresh rate.
60-100hz and my eyes can't take it, but 1040x768 at 140hz no problems at all, AND i wear contacts.
If i want to fuck around and waste my life thats MY CHOICE. how hard is it to grasp that what someone wants to do with their life weather good or bad, healthy or not, is THEIR choice.
If someone wants to sit around all day smoeking pot, more power to them, just don't give welfare to drug users.
It is not societies job to tell me what i can or can't do. If i can't chooose to do drugs i'm not free. If i can do whatever i want (that doesn't harm someone else directly, ie theft, violence, ect) then I have freedom, otherwise i don't.
I can see restricting things that greatly endanger others (cars, guns, aircraft) but if i want to endanger myself again thats my choice. sky divers, free climbers do it all the time.
In europe they have much better ideas of this, drug use is tolerated more, nudity isn't taboo for some fucked up reason it is here, Long live freedom!
The poeple who should be getting pissed about this is MS, i dont' think they will like it when WMA becomes like IE, known for giving you adware and viruses when used.
If software is designed and built to last X years with Y employees, but some MBA or CEO or biz guy up the chain o command decieds that theres no need to upgrade, its all working fine... for now, it us that guys fault.
It is only a software design flaw if the system was buit to last long enough for that coutner to ever possibley overflow.
I'd be willing to bet it was a MBA's choice to keep the system up without updateing it/replaceing it to save money and it should have been replaced long ago. MBAs typically have no idea how software works and just go with whatever buzzword makes they giddy or the cheapest option.
from another post: "It is the version of SBS that pre-dated Maestro. It was brought into Comair in the early 1980's. It's written in FORTRAN and uses whatever record managment system that came with the compiler."
Just a tad old on a much larger airline... seems like a accident waiting to happen.
freedom of information means taht once someone has information they can do whatever they want with it.
If you bank starts doing that they will lose customers, if you have a contact with them stateing the will NOT do that they can't bceause it will break the contract. and there is a huge diffrence between private and personal information and copyrighted works.
freedom of informatino doesn't mean informatino is given to whoever asks for it, it means anyone can tell someone else it if they want to.
you can still have a contract bewtten 2 people that states you can't tell anyone X,a nd if its broken its a lawsuit. yay, thats a good system and works.
copyright is not used on personal information and now more then ever is being used to hinder the public. and isn't it the PUBLIC not 1 person or some biz that we should be trying to help? public good over 1 person or corperation?
alls the FS driver would be seeing is a write command to the file. How is the FS goign to know if a write is to add a record to a database or remove data?
delte and write are the same thing to a FS, anything more fined grained should be ACLs and application level i belive.
if youw ant a good scripting lan use linux, no unix. or isntall one under unix.... plenty out there and linux supprts them very well./ect is horrible, but its better then the registry... both are huge messes of unsorted data thats all globed togeather except/ect can be manipulated by normal tools (linux/unix strong point, many littles tools for everything) while the registry is 1 big file you need a MS tool and API to use./ect is managed by the FS driver, registry meory is manged by whatever MS API does.
but thats not why i responded:
"1) The sending and recieving process don't need to know about each other before hand 2) You can easily broadcast events to all listeners"
as far as i know windows 32 mesageing you NEED to know the window handle of the "window" your sending a message to. windows drivers its strictly vertical and you know beforhand.
QNX you also must know beforhard who your going to talk to. As far as i know neither QNX or windows can "broadcast" to everyone listening... So QNX and windows, 2 OSes that do message passing that isn't true.
"4) Much easier to manage; no need to mess with sockets APIs 5) Much safer; no need to share memory between process."
no and no. with linux at least (and i'm guessing unix if its POSIX) you have shared memory and pipes/streams. You can pick any one you want.
If i am wrong please correct me, and describe why. i am no expect here, i'm still a student. would be a handy thing to know about.
and just to note everquest wasn't first non text based, it was third or fourth that i know of, before where:
ultima online - 2d, isometric the realm - 2d side meridian 59 - 2d 3d first person
everquest was just the biggest, and at the time it came out, or soon after wards MMO games started to become more "mainstream" so lots started to pop up.

Used to be prebuilt computers REALLY sucked. might not be true nowadays thou. times have definity changed in the last 5-10 years.
laptops are usualy very quite, no many movieng parts (thou i have hear some really loud ones)
macs always have been quite. But you can alsp get quite PCs.
My computer is nearly dead silent, its a athlon 2500+ with 2 HDs and geforce 4. alls you hear is a faint wind noise.
built a computer for a friend, same thing, really damn quite. If you know what your doing its easy to make a quite PC.
well as the law stands rigth now they can only do this for about 20 years.
so when does their patent on the seed expire?
i'd say anywhere on the east side of the rockies, banff canada comes to mind, thou many a tad to far north.
your away from the coast with moutians in the way, a fair distance from any faults (i think).
here in vancouver canada i can go to zellers (and i gues spretty much anywhere) and get a fair sized bottle, 70% pure, for ~5$.
but but but the earth is only 6000 years old!!!
to compute?
DNS != internet,
without DNS the internet would still work. But the world wide web wouldn't be so easy to use any more (http://154.23.53.43/index.html)
you forgot sued and/or hard to find.

either way still diffrent copyright infringement.
Anyone know what it is called?

well consdier as a nation we only have ~40 million people living in canada... how much military can we afford? lol
Not to mention the sheer size of canada and how much money must be spent to keep all the utilities intact.
wow, makes me glad i live here, vancouver canada,

its a 24+ year old application, it should have been repalces years ago with a more mordren system.
Not much a OS can do about a varible overflow in an application program, windows or AIX.

if you look at the windows registry its just as bad really... if not worse.
aparently the unix file system layout is what admins have come to agree on was the best in the last 20+ years. or something like that.
personaly i hate both the linux and windows way but thats just me:)
That would be more application level..
alls the FS driver would be seeing is a write command to the file. How is the FS goign to know if a write is to add a record to a database or remove data?

and by that he probaly really doesn't know a thing about why is net connection is so screwed....
