Ahem, Red Hat performs extensive testing on their packages? Thats utter bullshit, and most people by now know it. Debian surely does, but I think anyone who knows what they are talking about remembers GCC 2.96 on Redhat.
I run apache 2 and PHP, and it not only installed just as the instructions said it would, but it also has worked flawlessly since. I would recommend it for anyone not running an extremely critical site. (and maybe shortly some of those too)
Interesting, if you don't pay them for basic cable service, can't you still watch it? They would have to run a cable in your home, and if you put a splitter on that and hooked up a TV, I would think you could watch basic cable TV for free.
Well actually one way cable modems DO exist. They only download, and you have to use an analog modem for the upload part. There is no reason for them still to exist, if the companies were not so cheap and slow about replacing coax with fiber.
Yeah, sure...Intel never claimed to have created wireless networking. PCs have had that long before Centrino. Centrino is just an integrated thing optimized for battery life and such.
By the way, usually its the other way around, especially for some reason with video cards. Takes forever for the PC versions to hit the mac.
You're right. I prefer the "Mead" brand of notebooks. Quite a fine package, and absoutely no moving parts. It doesn't require lengthly battery charging either. And best of all you can use any type of pen on it you want!
Except thats a professional camera anyway, not for family outing use (unless you steal it from work or something). Battery techology keeps getting better anyway, same with optical stuff.
Could that perhaps be because one would generally utilize a high end SCSI drive a lot more than an IDE one? And also high revolution SCSIs make a lot of heat, if not properly cooled they just might fail (gasp)
Would you gamble your mission-critical off-site backups on a hard drive that could get broken on the way? Transportation wise, tapes are much better. In the other aspects, it depends on what your needs are.
Definitely. I know that when I got my cable modem in they wanted to hook it up to a computer and I told the installer that I had a Linux NAT box, and he was just like "Oh, well we can't help you with that."
Reasonable of course...and I don't see where having more than one computer automatically means more bandwidth.
The trick is keeping the hard drive up-to-date with the memory. These are called solid-state drives, and have been around for a long time in hardware. (Why I have some 134 mb ones in a linux alphaserver right now) So I would assume the software implementation would just have to do the same thing.
Of course if the power goes out, you could still lose things that were not yet sync'ed up. Better to have a UPS on your system in that case.
Ouch, I hope that trainer just didn't know what he was talking about. Because if you can't use Exchange 2000 on this new server (and IMO Exchange is one of MS's only strengths over Linux now) that would be a large number of people who will hold off upgrading, if they ever do.
Learn their lesson from ME? If anything the lesson is, consumers will buy upgrades that don't change much. Me made them plenty of money and probably was cheap to develop.
I know how it is, where I work the dust is very oily, and gets on everything. (All the PCs in the production areas are in filtered, air-conditioned enclosures and even then...) Trying to clean the things is a losing proposition, and usually its easier to just replace them rather than clean and fix.
And people working in a factory environment are notoriously bad for not giving a damn about changing filters...
Think about just how many calculations your brain has to do every second you are alive. It processes real-time video, audio, smell, touch, taste. You can think about things to yourself (A concept unknown in computers, they only do what they are programmed to do), you watch other people, behave based on what they do.
The human brain is by far the most powerful computer ever, and who knows if that will ever change.
What the HELL are they talking about...they are looking just fine to me. They are making money, tons of it even. And they seem to have plenty of money to spend on lawyers to prosecute college students.

I think Mozilla is a stupid name, they should just call the whole suite Firebird or something better than Mozilla.
You know, punch cards worked just fine too.

Unfortunately, cell phones where I live are not good enough for general day to day use, and I'm stuck with a landline.
I personally hate font smoothing of any sort (WinXP or Mac). I just like my letters sharp, personal preference I guess.

Now things you buy only for your business are fine.

Why not try it again?
Actually, the agreement was already nullified with an undisclosed settlement. That happened a long time ago.

And the best part is, it only will cost about 3x the money! Hook me up with some of those Itanium chips.
Oh you said $500..not $50000. Never mind then...
It would have to be an extremely, extremely absurd buffer overflow. The exploding thing was pretty funny since MP3s aren't executed.
