What if they show you pictures of a crime scene and you had seen something very simmilar, years earlier? Would your brain not spike instant recognition, like when you see someone you swear you know and it turns out not to be them. And how can they tell the difference between a spike of recognition and a spike of fear or repulsion, I would be rather repulsed if someone described a murder to me, accompanied with pictures.
Uh huh....Splitting up the company will make it much weaker. I don't even understand where this antitrust stuff comes from. There is linux, unix, dos, and Mac as other options outside of microsoft. Not to mention Solaris.
So how are they in violation of antitrust lawsuits. And if they are in violation of antitrust problems because they sell to a mass percentage of the market than why doesn't anyone sue that company that makes 95% of the worlds zippers??
Or Sue 3M for making everything...have you ever noticed how many things are made by 3M? I think it's good to have companies based in the US, supplying huge quantities of U.S. jobs and helping to be pillars to the American Economy.
What do you mean, a movie starts with a script, both anime and regular, anime is simply acted out through drawings. What's the difference, the voices are done by a human, the emotion in the voices, more importantly the emotion in the charachters can be drawn better than acted I think. I watch a series called cowboy bebop and I have never had a anything force me to think as much as that anime did.
Saw it because a female made me go. And I greatly enjoyed it. i don't think you were catching the ironies in the movie, and the idealogy that they were trying to tell a story that has never been told about New York, a lot better than, "The Animal" or half the other movies that were out.
But I also agree that catch me if you can was a great movie, but lets face it, compared to Lord of the Rings, it was a joke.
ummm...I don't need a lesson in net security. I assure you that the systems residing in the DMZ are properly secured. They are running Redhat 7.3 and I know my securities, the rest of the network is behind a hardware firewall. So I understand your trying to be helpful but it's insulting that you think from what I told you that you could tell I had a possible security problem.
The current issue with Fiber to the house that I can see is the cost of putting 2eqw cards in your system. Man our fiber card at work was expensive. lol.
Actually I have heard, union controlled cities avoid fiber at all costs, because if a fiber line goes down, it is much easier to replace than a bundled cable with like 52 lines inside. And this might affect current phone company people who get paid 40$ an hour to ruin traffic for me on my way to work.
Yes we realise that you can bundle a fiber line with a power line, that's not what this is discussing, although I am glad you are getting cheap broadband. But I think you know, because you said piggy back, this is operating a network right over your current power lines, utilizing the unused channels. I personally thought it was a great idea when I read about it 2YEARS AGO, (not exactly new/.) The issue is that, our power operates on 60 cycles per second, and this really isn't appropriate for the technology they want, now I admit they can change this at the power company with relative ease, but if you change it from 60 then you'll suddenly find that some of your house hold appliances no longer work.
I hope they work this out, I think it is a neat idea, just have two power cords for your computer, one for power, one for internet. it could eliminate the need for powered switches, for IP phones.
But remember that if the Head Node goes down in a cluster, your as well up shit creek. But I agree that a cluster is better. Although space could be a problem, as in physical space, but no worse than huge rack mounted servers.
More Expensive is no longer better

The problem is that the processors that are out for home use such as the new Barton chip and the newer Pentium 4s are amazing processors. So the speed increase overall is not even close to a power of ten, if it's even close to twice as fast I would be suprised. Especially with NForce motherboards offering dual memory channels and server board like performance. A lot of companies switched from these overated quad Xeon systems and other such expensive servers a couple of years ago, A local company last year, switched from buying overtly expensive servers with raid drives that cost ten times as much than IDE for hard drive space and the quad Xeons that they were only getting 10-15% performance increase from that 4th 560$ processor, and now they run Dual Athlon systems. With standard ata 133 drives inside, two deal with the lack of caching in an IDE system, They installed an impressively low priced IDE SAN sold by IBM and now have 10 times as much hard drive space as they used to for slightly less money.
The Dual Athlon Systems, built by me actually (Which I admit I was scared to put in a server environment, because of previous instabilities in ADM chipsets), these systems run superbly, and were inexpensive to build by comparison of 8000$ Dell Servers or $$$$$$$ Sun Servers. I am not going to tell you that a dual athlon is a better server than a Sun, no way, I know Suns are rock solid, but since I could build the Athlons so cheap we built 6 servers to share load, run pearl, run SQL, run their web server, run their domain controller, and I dedicated one system just to Lotus Notes, a program I despise but this company loves.
Anyhow the point is, the price was so low, they had me build them 3 extra servers and prepare a server image for them. Currently these servers work to share load of the web server and they supply the company with an added 400GB of file space per server, 4-120GB IBM drives per server and I dedicate 80GB per system to empty space. Just because keeping 20GB free per Hard drive is probably a good idea so that defrag processes can run properly.
I don't know if this is an answer for everyone, but for what most server rooms handle, mail, file space for the company, print server, web server, CAD drawing servers, These smaller powerhouses have been doing excellent. I am glad to see companies that no longer believe IBM, Dell, Intel, more expensive is better.
well several programs will allow it, Lanshare will allow you to search an entire lan and it doesn't even have to be a domain. and yes I do think it is this type of a program just a fancy search and databasing program, it only works if the other people on the network are running it as well, don't you see how easy it would be for any GNU to design exactly the same thing, incorporate LanShare with a database and a nice little script and I could make a version of this in java, as far as the file sharing capabilities.
If M$ did the same thing we would all bitch about over simplifying things, but Apple does it and we should all love the dumbing down of the user community and the huge security holes this will probably open on your system.
Or not at all. There is this beautiful option in windows called searching. You could do a search on the domain for *.mp3, then select all and enque, I am sure that that's all this program is doing but it is just doing it in the background.
were they looking at their computer or could they see it in their mind with the amazing super Apple technology. Oh wait, ummm...I can walk into our whole facility with a laptop and connect to any computer with an open share, holy crap what kind of software did I do this with, oh no, oh no, it was XP aaaagggghhhhhh....this must be a bad dream, only Mac can do this amazing feat of science and technology. Slashdot must have really needed some filler today.
Yep I can see it now, people will hear about this and run out and by a 3000$ grapefruit flavored pc because they can't click the button on their computer the runs the network setup wizard in XP. hmmm...I don't think so.
So apparently to get an article posted it has to be anti- microsoft, because lord knows their is no pro microsoft news that might be important to hear.
0-60 in 17 seconds? Holy God, that is extremely slow, a relatively quick car does it in 6 seconds, of course it gets great gass mileage, your a mile away from a light before you ever hit 60. How do you get on an expressway with a car that slow?
Actually the subtitile to Slashdot is "News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters."
not
We hate M$ and love Linux
But if it were
I would
Hate/. and love a website that posted news with the ability to be objective
and do you think, pcbob, that you have a low enough user number to really be talking about why/. was started?
P.S.
Why does everyone rip Bill Gates personally, he owns a company which produces software, rip the software, or the company, you don't hear me saying shit about Linus. Personal attacks on a companies CEO who happens to drop about a billion dollars a year into charities is, well, stupid.
Oh and because this post may be construed as pro M$ I am sure I will be getting a -1 soon.
I hope not. Free software is esentially not free. Because within corporations you still need someone to support it and to apply it to the companies specific needs, on the other hand, a new processor, if the plans are released would probably royally screw over the company that paid million in R and D to develop it.
Yes my car has turbo boost, but I must admit, only as of last summer did I install my turbo, no it doesn't have super pursuit mode, I believe I exist, but I could be wrong. If your too much of a nerd to enjoy a truly powerful and beautiful car that's fine, but don't try and push your slow little euro mobiles on all of the Americans that would give a finger to drive a 69 Charger in perfect condition.
With two or three layers of clear coat, and a good turtle wax with my high speed buffer. The car looks perfect, Dirt and dust can not be avoided while driving, but in my showroom, I have found that using a cheap dust cover works just fine.
What you really need to consider is your 33mhz PCI bus, which your running those "1000 Mbit" cards through, if you get a gigabit network. Do the math, I don't want to do it for you. Take the speed of your PCI bus, not your FSB, your actual PCI bus, then do the math at 32 bits and see why I say Gigabit is currently a waste of money.

Ummm I disagree...Goodfellas, was, ummm...lacking Now the Godfather series. That's a great mob movie series
