Not guaranteed. These displays have rather interesting display characterics after all and my guess (as with some photography background & experience) that in this case it have been simply a game with lights to make it more impresiive. Yo know, I can make such picture even with your 10 years old, colorfaded CGA without too much (ok, with cga that would be a) hassle:P
I think it is unnecessary. Yes, they could make UI faster this way, but actually it currently has very good balance between functionality and eye candy. Users demand both of them, you now;D
Gone are the good times when window was a window instead of embossed shaded pales of custom BMP pattern...
In fact it's not because of those 15'000 RPM, but because how SCSI operates. It doesn't consume CPU resources like IDE does, it doesn't requires so much interrups like IDE does and it usually has both dedicated controller chip and full controller on hard disk.
Even the fastest process will grind to a halt if it will have to release it's CPU after every 10 instructions just for a 100 cycle readjustement.
Bullshit! There is absolutely NO reasons to bloatware userspace because of different hardware, and even kernel very rarely needs an increase in loaded/executed profile because of this.
It's simple, see windows NT4 in example. It actually offers anything I expect from windows 2000 today (except USB support), but installs to just about 80M on hard disk and runs like crazy weazel on my old p133. And I consider it bloated too, btw;D
Stop supporting absurd functionality from HW, disable any chance that userspace could contact/see HW directly and if there IS specific functionality that cannot be supported by published standarts and hardware, just make a fucking module that deals with this. Instead of allowing to develop drivers that beats my e-mail client in functionality.
on the other hand it's rather hard to find an 150kg women in europe too;D cruel, but fact, americans always have had somehow interesting approach to life.
And my colleague I have to work with has lived in america and is infected too. Stupid jokes, infantile attitude, nill creativity and unauthorised changes...
Kill my carma, but you do have a problem.
The only problem is that at that moment implementing such measures will be twice as expensive, since first a>=b losses already have occured, just to tell the lesson to bank managers.
But there is no doubt that at one moment it will be necessary to implement them - I'm not exactly optimistic about humans and their compliance with federal laws or whatever...
An guess who is the one who pays for anything anyway?
Yeah right. And to make dumping iPod less suspicios they expand product line, separate iPod unit from main company and on their sales statistics operate with sales increase at about 900% over same period last year.
Yup - it all makes sense. Just as much as supposedly analytical publications whose authors are lagging approx a year.
Apple always had problems with financial situation and I don't remember a year since 1994? when there haven't been made claims that Apple will collapse any day now. Get used to it. That's how Jobs manage the public attention.:p
With all the respect, I was coding in Basic at age 7 too... And I was reading freely at age 4, so not everything is quite so unnatural as you may think.
But I'm afraid that main problem with Linux today is only the fact that community has become too religious. You know, like those cool streetracers with 20 years old rusty cars that refuses to believe that their car IS a PILE OF SHIT.
Be calm. And just agree that linux is nothing but a successful hack on everything. Lets be honest - Windows beats linux pants down when it comes to usability (everyday usability, I'm not talking about the ones who are keeping a full basement of computers just to be able to reinstall some os every evening) and as for system design - I may be wrong, but I really like FreeBSD's kernel design much much better. It's just that Linux gained monumentum.
And now, everyone involved is doing everything possible to hide the fact that they have produced a big pile of shit that noone but they alone wants to use. Poor pity geeks.
if i'm not mistaken its already the third such device to be 'released within six months'.
There were this qlc (or smth) thingie coming out, there were promises for solution based on VIA platform and now this...
Get real, it will NOT be on sale EVER. Just like everything else of this class. It's just plain doomed already and they made it even worse by opening waporware site that automatically throws it's credibility below the sever lines.
But otherwise it's ok, I guess. At least I will be able to masturbate looking at it's specs for a while.
BTW you can take a look at some freely available books about c++ (and other subjects) in this site. It collects publicly available books and their links in one place.
Definetly a nice streaming video demonstration will be the best.
Persaduate management to buy few DV cameras and stream their data uncompressed (25 Mbps + audio), of, in example, demonstration meeting at one end of demo link to monitor and some cameras at the other end and back. Also you can add some spicy moments by adding a live feed from caffeteria or CEO and his secretary in live.
They will be impressed, you will get a few pricy cameras to sell, a lot of new equipment that was required to set up a demonstration (think Sony W900 x6, dual opteirons x 3, Matrox parhelias all around, a lot of firewire cards) and will get at least some additional bonus, so you will have time to think about your job next time, instead of asking such questions in slashdot.
Bullshit. There is no point to bring it back online if it was so easy to take it down in first place. There are numerous teachers and profesors around, and unless site maintainer doesn't decides to fight and win the first case, there will be problems again and again. That's life...
Hello guys, are you really telling that your legal system is SO screwed now that you cannot post your negative opinion about some person online? Somehow I have always believed that this was quite an important point of Freedom of speech, that USA is so proud of. Or isn't the CNN the only entity in USA that has no rights to say anything true or unpleasant to someone else...
Fuck the professors. I'm sure that even in case if maintainer of site GETS suied, it would be a simple post in a site to raise all the necessary funds for best legal defense someone can afford (and truthfully in such a case it would require about three hours of work from a competent lawyer + court appearance).
Get a life, dear paranoid americans. Do you really will always consider that someone is threatening your positions? Then they were commies, now they are students. And your army still walks around the world doing whatever it wants without any reason.
well... Just for a sidenote - when I was younger (13-16) I had a habit to place two nails in a outlet and touch them with both hands for a sec or two... It was hell of a fun, especially since afterwards I had BPM rate at about 130-150 for a while (up to five minutes)... And yes - it was live, it was 220, it was about 10 amps and it still was hell of a fun;D And as well - sometimes working with tv sets and the tubes, they have a bad habit to preserve charge for a while after turned off - this is how I have managed to get those 20Kv two times as well... And you know what? I'm still alive and feeling quite good. for that I should note that I'm not an electrician, I was just a kiddie with some knowledge in electronics. So - do whatever you please, just make sure it IS disconnected, try to understand where the wires are going before changing anything and better yet make a wiring diagramm while working and glue it afterwards insite the cover. That's about it. It's fucking stupid to believe that you will be instantly waporised from 220v (or 110 as well), and well - if you will die, consider it as natural selection - you were too stupid...
Most probably no. But then - what is? If it would pretend to be JustAnotherBookFromThatLibrary noone would be interested to read it. And as for the contents - anything may miss something, but if it is good writen, easly readable and actually lets you have a look from a different perspective - it very well may be worth reading.:D
I would rather rephrase this as a...
"Well, quantum computing... Yes, that was that totally unpredictable stuff to do with hardware suppliers? Oh, never mind. My memory is just a bit hazy after all those accidents."

Too late. Sony will profit from that.
