Minus 160 is near the functional limits for 'high temperature' superconductors so it would seem that if you have a stable technology for maintaining that level of cool you could use a completely different compute technology altogether and not worry about slow hot silly old silicon at all.
"Hey, your usage "requires" broadband? (The same way that my neighbor's desire to have the biggest car on the block "requires" him to own an SUV with a quarter the gas mileage of my compact car?) Fine. Have a computer in every room in your apartment including the laundry room and the bathroom, download the source tree for Mozilla nightly just so you can be running the latest build, grab all those bootlegged episodes of "The Family Guy". Just don't whine when the ISPs wise up and start charging guys like you what you deserve to pay. The rest of us, _most_ of us, don't care that with your cable modem service you can't serve up pirated music and the "Ultimate 'Lexx' Episode Guide" you've been working on for weeks."
I am a partially handicapped single parent who works in computer security back to my main office, mostly on software tool design, and test scenarios and attack profiles, but thanks for asking.
I don't drive a car often, perhaps two-three days a week because it is not feasible to do so.
I don't share music or videos because I don't choose to and even if I wanted to my own employers' inventory scanners would pick it up on most of the machines in my house. I suppose I could disable it but frankly it's not worth the effort. And I do pay for a subsidized business class service just so the provider can't scream at me about it. I used to have a T1 that my job paid for but when they discovered they could pay like a 100 bucks a month instead of a thousand they jumped at it.
I suppose you could all live like it's the 19th Century and pretend you're Ralph Waldo Emerson or some shit like that but no one. Not one single solitary person on earth would give a shit whether you actually live or die trying. So be my guest.
What exactly the fuck do you know about my life? So stick to what you actually know instead of what you think the rest of us should appreciate about you, asshole.
No really, can you come over my house and tell me which soaps and cereals to buy too? Hey maybe you could tell me which sexual positions to use because of course it comes straight from God's brain to your keyboard.
Get this straight Nimnertz:
Your usage is not my usage. My usage requires it. My dialup was capped at 21.6kbaud, there is no xDSL and there never will be and ISDN is hundreds of dollars a month plus 1500 in setup charges. If it were not for Earthlink or Roadrunner I would not have multiple computers in my house. I would probably not have a job since I could not work at home and I have to work from home at least sometimes.
I get at least 1Mbps rock steady on cable and I would not move to new home without it.
Oh sorry I meant, who notices MS security failures anymore. Was that more on topic? Seriously, do you admins really think you can rely on it? Do you take offense at my meaning? Why are you even worrying about MS minutae anymore?
Eh? Got an answer? Well it should be it doesn't matter because whatever happens you should be treating MS components as the most insecure pieces of your network and build with that one premise in mind. Surround MS code with firewalls, filters, mail scanners, DMZ's the whole shebang. That you really don't have to worry about massive security failure #3,256,609 fixed by emergency patch SP2360.4555 which is going to have its own horrendous problems. You know it.
So was that on topic enough for you or is your fucking world paradise?
It's far cheaper to simply change the law and declare victory than it is to pretend you can sue Microsoft. Seriously, start lobbying your local Congresspersons explaining to them that your company might have to close and fire voters unless they intervene. That way they can simply pressure the agency to write an exclusion for W2K specifically. The law was created in the first place to pacify people who didn't want their records divulged. It has nothing to do at all with the industry itself or what is good for health care providers. So if you simply ignore the screams of the populace and change the law you're in a better place,
I'm sure some of you narrow minded twits will think this is backhanded MS bashing but it's not. It's simply reality. When was the last time YOU sued a multibillion dollar company?
The key problem appears to be how to handle failures. It's one thing to fill out a little envelope and get some change back if it rips you off for a Coke.
But do you think that if it robs someone of $50 they won't drive their car into it? They'll definitely need a phone on it and then you'll be stuck talking to Ahmed anyway
"Hey man it ripped me off for $25!" "Is no work?, sorry nothing to do buhbye."
when times were good the management excuse was there's no time to not make money. When times are bad the management excuse is there's no money to make time.
Seriously in my 6 years of working for a very large services company (three letters, but I'm sure they could be any three letters) I have been to one 1 week class. Since then we have pretty much been told no unless it costs nothing, does not involve travel or time away from productive time. But if we want to take time on our own to take any of the online courses for free, we can certainly write long boring term papers to our management to request permission to sign on to them. Otherwise I suppose we're suppose to tremble with gratitude that we have jobs.
My CEO recently sold $30 million of stock that was a gift from the board and the stock price is half of what it was a year and a half ago. Guess where that money comes from? Right, training and HR development.
Sheesh - A guy writes a long thoughtful piece on why 10.2 is better; simply put because it is and it is more usable and half you people criticize him for liking what he likes because he likes it. Because it serves his purposes and does not require him to worship at the altar of that which is kewl.
My God - I hope you people don't run Homeowners Associations. Your neighbors would probably have to paint all their houses your favorite color because 'it's the right one'.

Basically we've seen an order of magnitude raw CPU clockspeed increase in 4-5 years. What have we accomplished with that?
It seems that the faster we make the chips the more we squander their power.
Why do so many PCs need to be scrapped if not for the godawful software with the unquenchable lust for hardware. Why is the PC you bought 3.56 nanominutes ago too slow already? WTF is that about?
Last year I got rid of a 9 year old PC that was a workhorse but eventually ran out of upgrade capability even for my humble needs. Today I have 5 PC's in my house. The newest one is 4 years old the oldest is 8. And frankly if you can't get the job done on one of them then you are doing the wrong job. They are Caldera (or SuSE I keep going back and forth) and Win95OSR2. And that's it.
PCs get recycled because people get suckered into thinking that 1.6Ghz, a half Gig of RAM and 2 120GB drives and a 48X CDRW to replace that old crappy 32X is gonna make their lives perfect. And you know what? If you did everything the Gods-o-Redmond told you, you really would have to upgrade forever. I mean what's Office 2000 without more compute power than ran NORAD? Nothing, it's crap that's what.
So if you feel bad for the poor orphans chained to their soldering irons then think of Bill (I have more money than the entire fucking nation of Peru) Gates and the scourge that is his software.
I'm gonna start smoking again and drinking and having unprotected sex and them I'm gonna stop paying taxes and start cursing out the the cops and run through the airport with a gun.
I can't cope anymore. Tomorrow there will be 6 more critical problems and 6 more and 6E5 more. What's the fucking point?
Anyway that aint shit. I used get multihundred pages from all over the world because some big employment agency misprinted their fax number and I get everything from resumes to employment verifications to mortgage questions. What I did was I called the agency, let them know and then threw the pages away away.
Ummmm let's see at 64x the disk flies apart and kills everyone in the room just like a jet turbine failure. So let's say they lick that problem.....how soon before we see an alcohol/chlorine/halon/liquid nitrogen injection Pelltier effect cooled drive chassis unit.
Seriously if you need to save that much time just invest some dollars for a multi duping unit and burn 4 or 6 or 12 or 20 CDs at the same time.
It's pure evolution baby. The winner is the last one breathing. And the prize is dominion over the boneyard.
Sheesh there used to be a real computer industry now it's just some shitty Soviet monopoly and everthing else is on life support. And the monopoly is on life support too.
Yeah back in the early part of the century before Redmond bought the rights to everything that ever had been or ever will be invented, thought of, spoken, typed, glyphed or otherwise ideated or communicated in any living or non living mode. Then they put a EULA on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and made people pony up dollars if they wanted to be a legitimate licencee of Freedom and Democracy. Everyone else was sent to the Gulags "to protect them from themselves and to insure that the bona owners were not stolen from."
Then they added a new ammendment to the Contitution EULA that effectively invalidated the 13, 14, 15 ammendments of the old Constitution and made it legal for software companies (MS because by then there was only one) to literally own people and make them buy software whether they wanted to or not. Debtor's prisons came back online after over 200 years. The shortway around that was to simply become the nation and hire the entire country as cadres of MS employees. Everyone became a 'limited use MS employee licencee'.
Around 2014 was when DoubleplusXXXP+# was running the food distribution complex in east central Billtania (formerly called the "Midwest") and a major BSOD glitch caused 65 million people to starve to death. In order to make up market share MS tripled the food EULA charges on the survivors and then cut their wages by 30%. Which is when the mass suicides and infanticides began.
In 2018 Bill proclaimed himself God-Man and licenced the air we breathe now.
