ummm...even without the memory controller integrated, you ussually wouldn't keep the same processor if you were upgrading your motherboard,
Idiot. I mean seriously. If I build a PC133 1.2 ghz athlon system, and I upgrade, I am not going to buy a brand new motherboard, and brand new ram and then shove in my old as 1.2 ghz processor. AMD will not go out of business in a year.

I think that your making a broad assumption when saying that us reading, like Linux more than Windows, I think slashdot,should automatically collect data from our browsers and see what is the most popular OS on slash dot.
I got an idea, you think your OS is the best? Well lets take the current game of the year, Battlefield 1942 put it on two identical systems, one with Windows XP completely tweaked out by me, and one with Linux, completely tweaked out by you, and then we'll run some standard tests, frame rates at different resolutions and such.
Linux can run Battlefield 1942 right??? bwahahaha
try hacking my windows server. Just because these companies apparently hired stupid Windows administrators doesn't mean anything. I garantee that a windows 2000 Advanced server, set up properly, is unhackable.

Hasn't it been proved that because of the learning curve, and because of the higher cost of linux administrators that it's actually more expensive to run Linux servers than Windows.
And XP is not that unstable.
And Redhat 7.3 crashed playing the games that actually came in the distro, on my athlon 1.2ghz with a Geforce 4 and half a gig of ram.
I prefer to own my own CDs. I really do. i like having the actual CDs, I like having the liner notes. And then I rip them to MP3 and put them on my computer, but as CD prices and bandwidth have gone down in prices over the past 5 years, and CD prices have stayed the same or gone up, I have become pissed off.
For what reason does a CD cost more than a tape. A CD is by far cheaper to make than a tape, but yet they choose to sell us a 15 cent product for 15$. And that's after Ticketmaster charged us, 50$ for bad seats at a concert, and price gouged us 45$ for a T-shirt. Screw the music industry, screw bands that make one hit album and get paid millions for it, they dance and sing, nothing more, I don't think they should be making ten times what doctors who save our lives make.
I truly believe that if CD prices were more reasonable, more people would by their own CDs but they price fixed the market, then jacked up prices horribly. There never would have been this p2p craze and all the effort it took to develop it, if music companies weren't ripping people off.
k-12 I used Macs in school, and I still use a XP box at home. The computers you use in school seem to have little affect as to what you use outside of school. Otherwise I would suspect that Mac would have a much larger market share.
But if they would be just as happy then how come all the white boxes in the world that you can buy, the user will still pay out the ass to get windows over linux. Market share is not inflated, 90% of users, use windows, that's marketshare.
The problem with Linux is that, it's not as pretty as windows. And mose users just want something that's really pretty when they turn it on. And quite honestly if your computer already comes with XP on it, there is no point to downgrade to a Linux distro.
Star Trek Fantasy? Oh you mean like warp drives, transporters, phasers, and all the other fantasies. I bet two hundred years ago, they would have laughed for a year if you said you could hop in a ship and travel to the moon. Or that a submarine could stay underwater as long as it had enough food, for it's crew, or that we would have nuclear weapons.
Were getting smarter, and fast, we'll be there in no time at all.
I learned math my parents never learned when I was a freshman in High school. We learn younger and younger as well.
needs to stop. It has been made before. I personally use Athlon chips myself, but I also believe that it's worthless to upgrade processors and not motherboards, in most cases. Like I have my old system that is PC133 1.2ghz and when I upgraded to my NFORCE2 system, I just built a whole new box for like 580$, I transfered my soundblaster live card and my Geforce 4 card to my new system and bought a new case, keyboard, mouse, processor, ram, motherboard. I put an old PCI card into my 1.2 ghz box and now I use it, as a webserver,router, file server, and occasionally just to sit their and encode divx when I don't want to take up processor cycles on my new box.
But with the NForce2 boards, The Athlon's are blowing the Pentiums out of the water on multiple CPU systems, because their are actually two memory processors on the NForce2 boards.
And when XP's new cpu comes out I would be highly surprised if their wasn't a huge server buy in. Because each 64 bit processor will have it's memory processor built into it. So that means you don't bottle neck the FSB with memory cache runs coming from multiple processors.
Like in a quad processor XEON system, where you only get 25% of the 4th processor and 75% of the third processor, because of cache mis calls, where the data has to reference to insure it's the most recent.
I beg to differ, I think the front side bus upgrades are the most important thing they do. You see, FSB is how fast you can get data to and from that super fast processor. You don't want a bottle neck between your memory and your L2 cache, or your Cache and your processor.
I like that their upgrading, but I read an press release about it, over the summer, So I think it's retarded that their putting it in slashdot now.
I think the best way to deal with spam would be for no one to ever, ever, read it. But the problem is that some idiots actually buy things from spammers, it's profitable to spam, if it wasn't they would stop. So lets stop spam through our own actions. Just stop reading it completely, even if it says 80% free inkjet cartridges
Also, developing a protocol that requires authentication is stupid, you will just increase the amount of time it takes to send anyone an email.
I think that slashdot should start a list that we forward all of our spam to, and hackers around the world can use it to back track the spam to its original server. Than we do as much nasty stuff as we can to it.
I realise it's hard to find the original source of an email, but if you have access to the mail server that the mail came into, it's not impossible.
We should hack these servers, and take them down. Even if their innocent open relays, they will pay for being that stupid.
Ummmm what would you suggest other than just a username and password. If they need to access the data remotely we can't expect them to carry a voice print identifier with them can we?
A lot of internal networks are password protected and protected by the complete inability to access them from outside the network. But really no security matters when someone can talk themselves into your company and into your server room.
"Here to check the fire extinguishers, do you have one in this room here?"
I disagree, giving up privacy should not be the answer. Asking more questions when a 747 is 45 minutes out of its flight path should be considered.
Or paying attention when the FBI says we should check up on a group. Remember, with each inch you give the government another right is removed. And I didn't enjoy the book 1984 and have no intention of living in it.
So were like 8 thousand other companies and colleges. You want to know why there aren't many black programmers. Go to an engineering school and see how many black computer science majors there are.
I highly doubt anyone gives a rat's ass about selling their souls if they get to live the American Dream. And I really am not seeing selling software as a souless job. Want to talk price fixing, go buy some gas. Can you imagine if any other industry could jump it's price 20% overnight, sheerly out of whim.
You mean they won't let you use your work time and work machine to produce software that they can't sell. Huh? God your right, microsoft is the dark side, I mean, I can't imagine a company that claims right to your intelectual property while you work there. Oh wait, ummm...every company I have ever worked for did that, because they wanted to make money.Companies that want to make money...how capitalistic and non American of them.
Oh wait we are a capitalist country, and companies are supposed to want to make money, and I am supposed to work for them if they are paying me.
Lone Wolf Hackers like yourself, should get a degree.
I don't think he mentioned anything about a 200 IQ. Which by the way is exceptionally high and based on how IQ works I am pretty sure that eliminates 99.9999999999% of the population.
He was refering to people that went to their community tech school. Took a 4 month Microsoft, Novell or Cisco course and then expected to call themselves Network Engineers, when really they are, at best, lowly network technicians, while some of us actually went to 5 year engineering schools, paid the big bucks for a much better education, and are now highly in demand.
Ussually coops or interns are an excellent investments. you pay them half what you pay your non interns, you don't pay them medical, you don't give them paid vacations, you can work them obnoxious hours without them bitching and ussually in the tech industry they are better at their jobs, because they are still young enough to be "with" current technology, and they have yet to develop the closed mindedness that older employees have, Interns are willing to take risks to get the job done quick and well as apposed to watching their asses and only buying cisco and IBM because that's what everyone else does.
Interns are an excellent investment in a slow market. I hate companies that can't see this.
I make a lot more money in the private sector. And I abore war. Why would I join the millitary. If they handed me a gun and sad shoot some arab so we can have cheaper oil. I would point the gun at my leg, fire, and be sent home. I don't believe in killing people so that we can rely on technology we should be getting rid of anyway.
We aren't evolving, if our only way to handle a dispute is to kill 100,000 people.
YOu confused me with a different poster I said they could draft people that couldnt' drink, not they could draft people who couldn't vote. And those articles, were articles about discussions in congress, not just random bullshit.

Quite a lot of talk about reinstating the draft in reality. You see they want more intelligent people in the millitary. So they may just draft us.
lots of 30 year olds die drunk driving as well. Oh and actually just to be on city council you have to be 21. So no, you can't run for public office. Governor is 25 I believe. Go screw yourself on the draft, congress can reinitialise it any day.
Oh and drunken riots, those don't seem to happen as often in countries with much lower drinking ages such as everywhere but here. Which kind of points out a simple fact, tell rebellious college kids, they can't do something, and they will. I know people that did drugs just because they are soo rebellious to do.
