Yes except that with Tyan's s2885 you can have up to 16GB RAM, and it has AGP as well, so you can throw in a professional graphics card and really slam through renders or play some good games. Of course the board is $500, and 8GB will run you 2600 from crucial.com, and then you still need the rest of the machine...
It ain't cheap, but it sure would be a lot of fun to play with...ah that is it would increase my productivity...
I am actually from Kentucky (eg UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY), and I grew up around the University, so yes this is my home turf.
The real question is why am I responding to you??
mod parent up.
I love the mail filters in mozilla, and have completely switched from outlook to mozilla. I have even ditched evolution on the linux side.
I personally love to see this kind of stuff. As a kentucky native, anything related to my home turf gets extra kudos.
On a more technical note, I just want to know why I can't have one of these?
Okay, I realize that this was mostly about the screenies, but WinFS sounds like a BAD idea. Here's why: In the event of a huge problem (like a harddrive crashing) you can go in, find the right Mozilla files, and voila, you have your email. As it is, Outlook is MUCH harder to retrieve email from. With WinFS, the obfuscation layer will only make it that much harder to retrieve critical data in the event of a crash. And PLEASE, spare me the comments about it being more stable, and therefore you won't need to do that! Only an absolute fool thinks that they will never have to try to retrieve critical data. Even with regular (nightly) backups. Even constant real-time backups. So when I hear the words obfuscation, hidden and protected, I get scared. It's a terrible idea.
I second the motion. Money. And in the BLUE corner, we have IBM, with virtually unlimited resources.
In the "other" corner, we have SCO. (WHO?) SCO!
Oh, well.
Guess IBM will win this one.
I hate the iGO! WHEELS? Please, I'd have to chase my desk across the floor every time I tried to use the sorry thing. The model might be cute, but who really tries to sit on a couch will using the computer? Really. Inside an hour you would hurt so bad that you'd want to kick the sorry thing. Not to mention that you would be too tired to do so from chasing it across the floor.
As for the other POS, the strength of the materials is a big concern. The last thing I want is any flex in my workstation. I can see this as the new replacement for cow-flipping -- Keyboard Flinging!.
Finally the mere thought of trying to access your peripherals while chasing some sorry rotating tray makes me shudder in fear.
No thanks, I want a good solid and dependable desk that won't break. Can it look nice? Certainly, but I prefer this.
thats all

nah, In the movies the bad guys always use either Microsoft (beige boxes) or some shell-only interface. They NEVER look hip or chic.
The real place to look is in the good guy's hang out where it will be used to track the evildoers every move. Never mind that it will be totally backwards, that's Hollywood.
The REAL trick is that you need to take the Z55 and chuck it out the window, and go buy a nice new printer--preferably one that says EPSON on the front. I have an EPSON CX5200, and under MDK 9.1, it works flawlessly, both for scanning and printing. No other printer/scanner combo (other than the CX3200) works so well.
I know numerous guys that work at Lexmark, and they all say the same thing: Linux support is not really important. Considering how litigation happy Lexmark is these days, I wouldn't be really anxious to hack their printers for better support either.
Back to the topic at hand, however, I think that THE most annoying thing in Linux is dependency resolution. The only dist that seems to have this in hand is Gentoo, and their method is rather lengthy.
Recently I tried to upgrade a package in Mandrake (Quanta), and found out that it doesn't compile unless you have QT installed, which MDK does not do by default. SO I grabbed QT, and set it to compile. Finished good, make, make install fine. Great. Still Quanta refused to compile. Ack! Try again. Spent hours, then gave up. While RPM's exist for Redhat for the latest version, not so for MDK, and using cross-dist RPM's can cause pain.
So, I return to my plan to install Gentoo. Just as soon as I have time...
I am about to reveal my political affiliations, but personally I think that some of the best RADIO programming is talk radio on the AM side. FM side, I usually listen to NPR.
Now, on topic: FUTURAMA ROCKS! I hope someone else picks it up.
We should all write FOX and tell them to keep it. If I were an exec and between 600,000 and 1,000,000 (or heck, 100,000) people all called/wrote/emailed that they wanted a show, I'd keep it! (based on the premise that each call/mail represents the opinion of at least 100 other people).
Self deprecating humor does not translate well to the internet, unless clearly marked as such. Text, for all its uses, does not render some humor as well as speech.
As for myself, I would have found your original post amusing if it had been marked as sarcasm. But with text, who knows?
Obviously some people thought you were serious, and even if you think they are humor-impaired (or to use your own language, brainwashed), it still leaves the ambiguity that makes it offensive to some.
Thanks
Not really boring, but certainly not UT2K3 either. Personally I find these types of things fascinating. That's what makes me a nerd, nerkle or whatever, not my 1337 hacking skills (which I don't have anyway).
Strangely enough, I mostly agree. You see, if you use more text than graphics, you can easily design for all sizes of pages. Especially with CSS. Enough said, but go to w3.org and see their site. Low on graphics, high on content. If you don't have good content, the graphics don't matter, even on a pr()n site...
Enough said
Have you USED them both?
Not to flame, but the GIMP is NOT a professional tool. Compared to Photoshop it is sluggish, beginner's work. It doesn't feel nearly as nice as Photoshop.
All that said, I don't use either very much. I prefer Fireworks for what I do, and the GIMP certainly doesn't measure up there either. IF some one would now PLEASE get Macromedia's products either ported or supported I would be a very happy camper.
Thank you
Glad to see they aren't letting SCO scare them away from giving Linux their support time after time
Did you seriously think that they would? If so you need to share some of the dope you've been smoking. As has been said numerous times on this board: to IBM, SCO is nothing more than an annoying mosquito. They might be carrying West Nile, but they are still just a mosquito, and can be crushed or captured almost any time.
The cool part about this whole article is that with the security cert, the government could begin switching some of their offices over. It also means that organizations like hospitals (who need to be concerned with privacy due to HIPAA) can be sold on the fact that it is secure and they don't have to worry as much about some hacker stealing confidential information.
LOL In truth, Utah is not nearly as high a percentage of "Mormons" as you probably think. Care to take a guess?
80% you think? Try again.
How about 55%?
Yup, that's right. Only 55%? While this is higher than any other state, its hardly as strong as most people believe.
Furthermore, the whole idea that Mormons run Novell because it is based in Utah is hardly fair, but even if it were so, I think that the initial assertion on this thread is a little goofy--Novell, even if it were owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, would not put itself in such a precarious position buy forcing religious literature down any one's LAN. Sorry, just wouldn't happen.
Actually, the sad truth is that wearing pants to tightly can cause one's sperm to be killed by excessive body heat (because the genitals are NOT supposed to be hugged up next to everything else).
So plead that you can't wear pants because you have to protect the future generations of your family.
Yes, the DSM-IV is the recognized authority on such (although there is an international standard that I can't remember the name of), and it recognizes ADHD.
That said, there is some evidence that it is more of a behavioral disorder than a "chemical" disorder like schizophrenia. That would indicate that it is the result of poor parenting and a lack of discipline. That's the way it goes, though. As for Ritalin, I absolutely agree that it should not be used for children. Even for adults its use is questionable, but I know an older guy that's on it for narcolepsy, and he finds that it is VERY helpful.
Okay, I'll bite the flamebate.
You good sir, obviously know nothing about Mormon culture (note the capital letter, the name is derived from a proper name and is thus capitalized). The culture strongly favors honesty over any feeling of "good ol' boy network" type of situation that you are implying. As far as "communist hippies" it sounds to me like you, sir, are much more bigoted than the "Mormons" that I am familiar with. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I personally feel that the philosophy behind Linux (sharing knowledge and ability freely) coincides much more closely with what the church teaches.
I know that if I, or most of the people with whom I attend church, were on the Jury, the decision would be based on the preponderance of the evidence, not the popular opinion or the bonhomie of someone I might know.
That all said, does anyone KNOW that SCO is really run by "Mormons?" Pleas tell me.
Alternately, they could allow two separate interfaces (and make it themeable to allow for user derived interfaces), and have an option the first time any given user launches the file. Selecting the box would allow the client to choose their interface (use the Outlook clone OR the new and improved interface).
This allows the company to move forward in interface, while allowing those comfortable (or those who love the outlook interface) with the old to have their cake as well.
The idea of skinnable products is wonderful, and I wish that more companies would do that. My favorite example is Object Desktop (sorry no link)--your windows box can look any way YOU want it too, without all the clutter. It's wonderful.

go for this the s2885 from tyan. It has PCI-X, AGP, SATA, GBe, and hold 16GB RAM... Can't lose.

I for one would purchase it. Also, I would be much happier if the Linux version came on separate disks, unlike what UT2k3 did.
