True. Believe it or not my mother still has my old 486 case I gave her. She has swapped the motherboard for a Pentium2, the graphics card, added memory and tweaked the thing beyond everyone's wildest dreams! It's her hobby.
Her favorite apps: microsoft works, netscape 4.7, and some kodak digital photo software.
The point: Not everyone has the latest and greatest of computers, the vast majority of the public is using our throw away computers or the cheap stuff from circuit city. They will still need to be supported.
Didn't mean to contradict myself in regards to AMD. By rebirth of AMD, I meant an increased number of products available to consumers as well as increased marketing. Obviously, AMD is still around - just haven't heard much Athlon news lately.
IBM rules high-end computing, the consumer sees nothing. They probably still buy Intel because they like the jingle.
I doubt the Dell server market makes much of a difference whether it is AMD or Itanium.
I do agree with the fact that we would see a rebirth of AMD, though I don't think it's really dead.
Sun might find some breathing room for SPARC, maybe a few saving graces for poor ole Sun who has been struggling financially.
The article's last mention is that HP ends its exclusive commitment to Itanium and uses some AMD chips. This sounds like a stretch, one gamble on a processor to stain a large business relationship?
Funny you bring up @HOME, I recently whitnessed AOL Time Warner cable and cable modem service. The difference between Comcast @ Home and TimeWarner Cable was like night and day. The service room at TW had a line going out the door, and the boxes looked very cheap.
Excellent point on the mobile work force. I remember traveling with my laptop and struggling with horrible hotel-internet. If there is one good thing about national dial-up like MSN and AOL it is that I can go anywhere in the country and get access instantly.
If I were more of a mobile warrior, I would definitely have AOL or MSN.
Doubtful. More people than ever are using instant messaing, even in business. Traditional advertising, such as TV, is littered with internet addresses for further information. Internet is available on tons of cell phones, wireless PDAs, and in many stores.
I made the same choice years ago. And if you have other people in the house that want to use the internet, you can forget sharing a dial-up connection. Ah, memories of fighting for computer use.
Casual users might be able to share a dial up to check e-mail and such, but as soon as you have a DAOC player, a pr0n fanatic, or slashdot reader you need full access 24/7.
sign up for AOL. He can't afford broadband (yet). He just started using the internet. As soon as he finds the pr0n movies for download, I'm sure he'll drop his smoking habbit so he can get broadband and pick up a new (better?) habbit.
With streaming content becoming more available and higher quality, the days of dial-up are numbered. I'm suprised apartment buildings don't pool together and get a T1 into the buildling and provide internet to all apartments.
Nothing that is so, is so....
The corporations would lead you to believe that the music downloads are crippling their industry. Examples like this show that to be more false than true.
This artist has enjoyed a spot light, and some of her success might be atributed to the marketing through the MP3 controversy.
So, where is the truth? One theory I might suggest is that the business model is flawed.
Perhaps the technology is also outdated. Why aren't they selling DVDs filled with music videos, interviews, lyrics, kareokee(sp?) and what not rather than simple music CDs for so much?
This is often overlooked... I think most security threats are not at some l33t hax0r coming in through the firewall and compromising many systems to get to the data, rather it's the system administrator who leaves his office door open and computer unsecure.
On a side note, anyone involved in a company with layoffs... did you lock your door in fear of disgruntled employees going on a shopping-spree in your office? Heh.
Though the reviewer didn't think so, I like it when DTD and XML Schema examples are side by side. Having looked at DTD's for quite some time now, have to change gears to the new standard of using XML schemas.
Would be nice to have a book with more than just one chapter on web services. There are a plethura of Java/C# web services books out there, but it's hard to find one on there just for Perl, PHP, etc.
At the same time, Sun is one of many who are struggling to be profitable. From the article, "Sun boasts their UltraSparc III as an "open" architecture, yet seem to recognize that there is insufficient information freely available for the open source community to support it with operating systems."
Don't forget he got the RPM, which for the longest time the mplayer group has said NOT to get. They want you to compile the source for best video support, etc.
The article makes a nice mention how 75% of the earth is covered in water. Looks like the ocean is one of the last [easy] frontiers, though will the moon be more practicle? This thing looks like the ship in Star War Episode 1.
Back on topic, I would wonder how deep this version can go. It mentions the depth of a squid of around 1500 feet. The article also reports a second version that will be able to comb the bottom of the ocean. I imagine that will look more like a 747.
What was the name of that bad star-trek like show that was set in the ocean?
I played the original Master of Orion for hours, every race had their own flavor. I loved the little midi like music for each race as well. Hmm, I wonder if I can find it on MP3.

You're right... Nothing that is so, is so. AOL isn't the only choice, but we are lead to believe it until someone removes our veil of ignorance.
:)
Thanks for removing mine on that subject
More frequencies good... the military getting into consumer products, seems bad in general though this doesn't seem that harmful.

Then we'd ask you if you owned either AMD or Intel and you would say no to both. After raising an eyebrow, we'd go back to doing something better.

Yes, I laughed all the way home, heh heh heh.
Seriously, people who don't know anything actually want it. They want to be on the band-wagon.
Besides, I was curious to see what AOL had turned into from when it first came out.

The article stated that they don't have yet a release date, but they're in testing. I shall start salavating now.
I feel all hyped up, like when Linux 2.4 was announced. Oh-Yeah.
Don't forget how the apple section of Slashdot also appeared around the time they got the laptops too.

They might know they're unethical, but this guy doesn't... "There are no villains in this story."
makes various choices in the open source community, from JBoss to a Linux training center.
At the same time, Sun is one of many who are struggling to be profitable. From the article, "Sun boasts their UltraSparc III as an "open" architecture, yet seem to recognize that there is insufficient information freely available for the open source community to support it with operating systems."
Is it purely a financial ploy perhaps?
"On October 5, 1990, Q*Bert was found face down in an aquarium filled with kerosene."
Q*Bert was always fun... but did he really have a chance once Mario, Samus, and other big characters hit the scene?
Don't forget he got the RPM, which for the longest time the mplayer group has said NOT to get. They want you to compile the source for best video support, etc.
Don't forget:
"We'd like to penetrate the secret world of the squid,"
Maybe they are looking for something exciting to happen!

This is true, but DTD's are more human readable IMHO.
