Most of them have just downloaded the internet for the first time and got it all installed. They're so excited, they realize they're going to need a new credit card to go by Furbys and Beanie Babies off of Ebay.
That's interesting. While the clusters we have here at the UW Atmospheric Sciences deptaretment aren't that big, they sure as hell didn't cost that much money. http://eos.atmos.washington.edu/clusters/
We have two 18 node dual processor (Athlon MP 1800+'s) clusters with dual Athlon MP 2000+'s in the head node. They came to less than $25,000 per cluster... Now, if they were to scale this up to around the same amount of nodes UT has, it would only be about 400,000 + <insert cost of extra networking equipment here>. Surely, this wouldn't cost $38 million.
So, you say this isn't a comparable unit. Fine, triple the amount of nodes... you still cruising in at around $30 million less. There has to be something there doing there that costs extra money.
We stop violent games so we can shelter everyone from something that only a relatively FEW people can't handle mentally? Bad apples are everywhere; they'll find a way to be bad with or without violent video games.
I think XHTML is a good example of what he is talking about. Being able to burst XHTML isn't really that useful. The document should have just been made in XML first and then transformed for 'regular viewing'. If someone wants to burst it then, they can just refer to the original XML. There are obviously a FEW advantages to XHTML bursting, but it just seems rather trivial to me.
It's been out for a few days. I haven't installed it.
You just know that they're going to make you install it somehow... Be it selling a product a lot of people use (Office) and saying it can't be installed without the DRM software, etc.
This article is entirely too vague... frustratingly vague.
The first thing I thought was that they would burn the shells. But, how would that help? You're still putting CO2 into the atmosphere. Maybe the macadamia nuts burn clean?
Here's a 1990 poplation density map for Canada and the US. Though your point might have some validity, I think the politcal geography has a LOT more to do with it.
Canada's population spread doesn't even come close to rivaling the United States.
Imagine that, countries that are a fraction of our physical size can get broadband out faster.
Wouldn't 1 CO be around 10 or 20% of their population (purely speculation)?
I bought my Xbox because the GameCube's games seem like they're mostly for 14 year olds [BBC speculation].
Now, I'm going to go upstairs and intentionally install the update because I don't give a damn. I have my linux server right next to me, that's what I bought it for. That's not why I bought my Xbox.
I work with a research professor at the University of Washington. I'm hard pressed to find a windows machine on my floor (I think there are two, and they suck). Everything is Solaris. The main server room has a huge Sun Enterprise Server and a 19 computer linux cluster. My group just got its own 2TB storage server, it's linux based... The whole dept. seems to moving from Solaris => Linux if anything... but no where near Windows.
Nah man, I've been around a lot longer than 'ExtremeTech'. In fact, when I first registered my domain name, I had the decision between: ExtremeTech, ExtremeTek, XtremeTech, and XtremeTek (they were all available too). I choose the latter. I'm sorry you don't like that ad, UGO does the advertising for me. I wish they would put more of the Dell, ATI, and Intel ads up there, but lately they have been putting crap like '80's t-shirts' and shoot this clothing item to win a condom. It pisses me off more than you, I guarantee it.
They got web pages for this stuff now? Whatever happened to
`man getagirl`

That's freaking sad. But that so should have been put in here: http://www.xtremetek.com/dumbassdb/index.php
Along with the lady who put money and credit cards into her bay slots. Hahhahhahaha, oh man, so funny.
Let me get this straight, Recyclable Cars from the company that sells pretty much SUVs that are definitely increasing the rate of global warming. What's the point? Why save resources when there probably won't be much left in 50 or 60 years.
I guess I shouldn't blame Ford that much, after all, they're not forcing people to buy them... but Bush's tax cut on SUVs will probably help speed up global warming a bit.

Thank you for the very complete review. I no longer need to read the book.
This way we don't have to worry about poor terrorist... just rich one's with the capital to buy bombs.
Boy does that take a load off my mind. Thanks card inventor guy!
KDE is my desktop of choice and part of the reason I decided to give linux a go. Congrats KDE guys!
Why do they fall for them? Come on man, THINK!

In related news: I won't be answering my cellphone when a number I don't know calls. Good luck wasting your time.

Using the same logic: Someone should tell them their new cordless phones are probably killing them!

Until I read the article, I thought it was going to be about how I wear CDs like Tarzan wears leaves. Curses, I'll never be popular!
I imagine if you converted Windows into music it would probably be a pirates tune with some background singers saying things like 'World Domination'.

I'd like to know too.

Are you sure they didn't just dent the case?
I know a lot of old people who call their case the 'hard drive'.
Yeah, punish the innocent bank customers because the bank screwed up. What a genius idea.
