I have washed my hands of desktops(I have one now but this is my last desktop) and will only go in for laptops now even though they are costlier. CRT monitors might be cheaper than LCD ones but they contain a lot more toxic waste and are harder to dispose than LCD's. Hopefully within the next 4-5 years LCD's will come to dominate the display market.
Giving to charities is a good idea, keeping them working in the basement is not. It is more of a hassle to provide the network connections down there and what not.
I am wondering if that guy had an erection at the time he got burnt from his laptop. Simple case: too much pr0n surfing at that time to realize his dick's on fire;)
By 2013,
1)not to deal with the scourge of spam as we do today. By that time, we will have better email systems.
2)An alarm clock that had a sensor(infra-red) that would check if I am out of my bed and would continue to ring until I got up even after hitting the snooze button.
3)Really cool dual-headed displays for PDA's and other electronic devices.
4)Sale of only flat panel displays to be allowed.
CRT displays should be banned.
5)The present ratio of desktop:laptop 70:30 should be reversed.
6)AMD to have 50-60 % of the CPU marketshare
They should have two categories for songs.
1)Songs should be automatically priced according to the number of times they have been downloaded. Even if its a hit song..the more people download it, the better it is for apple. Therefore the cost of the song goes down as time passes until its ready to pass into the second category.
2) The second category is those songs that are not so popular, or old songs that not many people will be willing to download.
Category 1 should be priced.75 $ and category 2 should be priced.40 $.
If it were the above, I would say many people would give it a try and then decide if it works out for them.
This has some interesting implications for telecommunications equipment suppliers, particularly in the optical market. "As long as the total amount of voice and data traffic on the network continues to increase, then the need will arise for carriers to buy equipment, such as next-generation optical, that transports and manages it cheaper and more efficiently than the earlier generation of pure SONET-based products," said Perrin
so I might not need to flip burgers after all once I get my electrical engg degree.
Haha.. Sun Rays are a real pain in the ass. I worked on them for 2 years but just hated them. Of course I had no alternative because the math dept had only suns. Thank god my EE dept did not use them.
Sun Rays were introduced in MTU in a big way in 2000Sun Rays in depts and to students in residence halls. The demand was so low that MTU has discontinued the Sun Ray program for students in 2002.
that in India, there are many ATM's(not all) that do not connect to the main server when you withdraw money.
There are many people here who have withdrawn 5000 Rs(100 $) a day for days together even when the balance in their checking account was less than 100 $ in the first place. If you have overdrawn your account, you are sent a mail(snail) or the bank gives you a call to collect the money. The time limit in which you withdraw money without any problem is 3 days to 15 days.
That is why some banks here give credit/debit cards only to customers who have had a 100 $ minimum balance over a period of 2 years.
While processor speed has grown fast during the past 6 years, memory speed(bus speed) has grown much slower. Infact, only now is it being pursued seriously.
Once my computer guy told me that having a 400 Mhz computer and PC100 RAM would transfer data only as fast as the PC100 could process it and transfer it. When you build a system and test it with PC2100 DDR and then PC3200 DDR, the difference is much pronounced.
Hector Ruiz is trying to shift attention from
Moore's law because in a few years, to get a substantial increase in processor speed, you will need a lot more money than needed today and heat is also a major factor.
You are already seeing a shift in Intel(the proponent of Moore's law) to lesser heat producing processors even while giving better performance than the P-4's. AMD while increasing its processor performance wants data to travel faster so that memory bottlenecks are removed(hence hypertransport consortium).
The performance spotlight is shifting to the memory market because the cost of making data travel faster and thereby increasing overall computer speed is less than increasing processor speed to achieve the same bump in computer performance.
I dont think there was a EULA like Microsoft's warning against tampering with the equipment.
If you want to mess around, Philips will tell you that your warranty will be voided, thats all.
For those quoting DMCA and stuff,suppose I have a stereo and I make internal and external modifications and publish it on the web.
I *bought* the stereo, not *licensed* it. Therefore its no business of the manufacturer to tell me what I do or don't with the stereo.

Sony expects 1600 $ for a 1.6 celeron? They are &*@^%#! nuts. No matter how good it looks, its not worth 1600. The only people who will have it is those who want a fashion statement and care a shit(or know shit) about a 160 celeron or a 1600 celeron. If your hellbent on plunking down so much money, do it for a desktop replacement laptop. Will be of more use to you.

The bottom of the shuttle has a heat shield. The crew have no control over what happens when re-enterting.
Lets say something went wrong with the computers on board the shuttle or/and computers controlling the shuttle from the space centre.
When the shuttle enters the atmosphere, the black shield is facing the brunt of re-entry therefore is the most heat-fortified part(other than the exhaust systems and nose) of the shuttle.
If any of the computers fail to maintain the shuttle in the correct position, then the shuttle might have tilted or turned 180 degrees(there is a chance that the shuttle at this point will abruptly veer of course and its wings and tail will face extreme stresses) BUT stayed on course.
Now with the heat shield below the shuttle no longer facing the brunt of the atmospheric entry, there is a chance that the ceramic tiles could not handle all the heat(many a time it has been reported that some of these ceramic tiles have been burnt and some(3-4) have fallen off) and this started the disintegration of the shuttle.
This is a sad day for India and the rest of the world. God bless them.

Im quoting a paragraph from the Nytimes
"Others have been puzzled by the design of the company's new interior control system, iDrive, which unifies a dizzying array of functions into a single knob and has left some drivers scrambling for the manual just to start a new BMW. ("iDrive?" went a headline in Road & Track magazine. "No, you drive while I fiddle with the controller.") "
People follow so many kinds of etiquette. You don't go to a business meeting in sneakers and jeans. You will not go to a dinner party in bermudas. Just like that, people need to understand that there is etiquette for cellphone use too. When I was taking a public talking seminar, if a person's cellphone rang, the phone was confiscated. Happened twice,people drove home the point.
google is the best because its run by engineers, not bean counters. For a long time they did not even have a marketing head. The engineers there think like you and me. What do I want? a fast and simple search engine. Its toolbar is the best I've seen. google news is also very popular, it has no ads and loads so so fast. google can afford a miss for 3 hits unlike yahoo or other public company. Google does'nt have investors sitting on its head to get a hit everytime they venture something new. Therefore they do not need to push out half cooked ideas out of the door. So it's better if Google remains private and provides us features all of us have come to love.

It is criminal of Dell to be so late to the recycling program for individual customers because it has already had a recycling program for Dell said that since it began recycling computers for corporate customers in 1991, it has collected 2 million computers. . 2 million computers is not a whole lot for Dell which has sold more than 20 million computers. Better late than never. 15 $ is not a whole lot compared to the 50 $ HP is offering for recycling.
