I've been struggling to find a fair comparison between G5 dual and single configurations. Whatever benchmark I find, its always a comparison of the 1.8 single vs the 2.0 dual or 1.8 single vs xeon dual, et cetera.
Apple hasn't done a sufficient job demonstrating that I need another processor, or at least, not the average consumer. Has any one seen any data? Perhaps comparing the old 1.8 vs the new 1.8?
I think a better comparison is plugging a 120 V device into a 220 V socket. But its still the person's fault doing the plugging, not the maker of the deivce or the socket.
A great way I found to get around the Windows system copying problems as well as Windows "Secured" directories is just boot under a Linux Live cd and mount the harddrives.
Running cp/dev/hda/dev/hdb seemed to work great for me. For a friend that had to access those "Protected" directories, I was able to mount the NTFS partition and create a new FAT32 partition and copy whatever files I wanted from the NTFS. It worked great, and he was able to save his 10 GB of "personal files" =)
Where is the FCC on this issue? This device is a communication device that is intended to provide information from a public network. All of my networking gear has their stamp of approval on this, so how the hell did this get it?
The FCC was instituted to make sure that certain standards are met and that consumers and the public at large is not abused. This device is designed to mislead customers and most people will never even know what is going on. Sure there's a setting to turn it off, but my parents can't even program a fucking VCR, let alone configure a router beyond its initial plug into the wall.
I looked around and didn't come up with any. Has anyone seen the real papers on this stuff? It'd be interesting to see the transfer characteristics of this transistor.
"My guess is that a good 50% or more of PDA users bought the PDA for playing games."
My guess is that he's wrong. Totally wrong. Buying a PDA for games doesn't seem to make much sense at all. The fact that are games is a nice distant second use, but for most people, I doubt this has any revalence at all. Wall Streeters playing Puzzle Bobble on Lunch? hmm, maybe, but I wouldn't think so.
I didn't know what this was, so from their webpage:

Well, thank you Anonymous Coward for calling me a pussy. Anhow, the reason why I didn't sign it is because I was late for a midterm. The other reason is because I thought of how important it was after the fact. Sorry, I don't always think of something important until I get a free minute. Asshole.
I would never take those 3000 lives for granted, nor my love for my country.
Terrorism has a failure rate of 100% (another tv rip off), because people get on with their lives.
Everybody knows that they are not truly safe because we get jacked up the the security check point at the airport. All we're doing in that case is trading freedom for peace of mind. This is the same way, all I am doing is giving up my information, aka right to privacy, for the illusion of safety.
Terrorism will not be stopped in America. It cannot be prevent as a whole because any system has flaws. By trading our freedom for these flaws, we are helping fuel the motives of terrorists.
Last night on the West Wing, there was an inspiring quote from Benjamin Franklin:
"The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either. "
This came to mind earlier today when I walked past an ACLU table on campus. They were gathering signatures for a petition against the "Patriot" Act. I'm glad someone is fighting for my freedom.
I was reading a review of a Subrau WRX on caranddriver.com and it mentioned that their original review unit was able to post a 0-60 time of about 5.4 seconds. The requested another car from Subaru for a "long-term" test drive, which for them is about 60,000 miles over the span of about two years. This long-term car was equipped very similarly to the previous model, yet, it was never able do below a 5.9 0-60 time.
Now, ever car enthusiast knows that 0-60 times and such the like are subject to various conditions, but that's a pretty large inequity in the difference between the two cars. They said they must have just gotten a lucky hot car, but I believe that perhaps they got a cherry that didn't have to last as long as the car on the long-term test. If they were only going to have the car for a few weeks, then it didn't matter if it was as reliable as a longterm car, so they upped a few things and gave it to them for review. Same thing with the monitors, I guess. Since its just for the flat panel review, they might as well spice it up. These companies base a ton of business on "independent" reviews, so I suppose its worth it to fix the results.
One of the things I haven't been able to figure out (probably haven't looked hard) is if MadHatter is going to be avaiable for free download. I know Sun is trying to make a little money off of corporations (that 100/year/user thing), but what about the rest of us?
You ever notice in Star Trek that no one has a shit job? It stands to reason, in the future, that nobody will have to do what they don't want to.
People join Starfleet because they want to see the galaxy, learn about new cultures and have vacations on Riza. Nobody there has some shit job being a fast food clerk, miner, farmer, et ctera because they don't have to.
The force behind the revolutions of the last few thousand years was need. It was always because of need that the world changed. We went from hunters and gathers to agriculture because of an increae in population. We went from villages to cities because of the need to share resources (specialities, wheat farmers trading with cattle farmers). And so on.
What about a revolution based on the LACK of need. What if technological advances removed the urgency to labor over crops, a mine, a steel mill or an oven? What would we do then? It might actually give us a change to do positive change rather than dwell on the acquistion of wealth and maintanence of the status quo. If we can advance past need, we might be able to grow as a species.
What happend to Rare was a hell of a lot worse than what happened to Bungi. M$ bought Rare and when was the last time you saw a BattleToads game? Oh yeah, never. They just bumrushed one of the best arcade/console franchises in history.
I hate to say this (because I wish it weren't so), but a corporation has the right to not sell their product. Some, ie Disney, will use this as a mechanism to artifically boost deman for the Lion King IX. They create this sense of urgency so the consumer feels that they must buy it before it "goes away". Disney has this right, and they probably should, in any term of copyright.
I believe some school (LSU?) in Louisiana has a large X Server cluster that's been operating for about a year now. I believe they were trying to get on the list, but I don't know how that turned out.

Good thing they'll be a wholly owned IBM subsidiary by this time next year.

God man, you just summed up the cold war while talking about radio modems =)

It actually ended up doing an exact copy of the drive. It was pretty trippy. Managed to keep the partition table and everything.

No shit, Sherlock
I totally agree, thank you for writing that in.

The article says that it's such an upgrade that incrementing it .1 is offensive, yet it grips about the $130 price tag!
First major cluster with Apple hardware
I believe some school (LSU?) in Louisiana has a large X Server cluster that's been operating for about a year now. I believe they were trying to get on the list, but I don't know how that turned out.
In Soivet Russia, we use communal software!
