One that I'm fairly certain about. It's not like everybody actually has a way to pay out. For example, just try and pay for it using a credit card issued by, say, a bank in Russia.
Or minors. Combine those two and you have a fairly large group that would be pirating winex for a reason other than not willing to pay for it.
(that said, I personally avoid both wine and winex; however, most of my friends are very happy to have them)
...not at all, it's not like everybody has more than one working machine in case one of them is screwed(and I can hardly see them going to the nearest cafe for the report; most likely they'll have their system restored, curse loudly, but it'll be too late for them to want to do anything). Judging by previous articles, that can be quite a few...
You know, that kind of thing bothered me as well when I was building my box, and I actually didn't realize that my board(GA-K8N) supported it until I bought it(don't recall seeing anything on the box or in the manual, besides one small question in the FAQ on the website that I've just noticed). The Asus K8V that sat near it did boast CnQ support right away, but was a little more expensive, had much more things I really didn't care for, and, as it turned out later, half-broken networking...
But hey, it's a new platform, and as it says there, by the time anybody who's reading this will actually go out to buy one, things might change _a lot_:)
Well, the temperature itself doesn't, although it's certainly making me feel better:) But then, the noise level _does_ matter, and if the fan speed depends on the temperature(it does for me, it's quite a bit louder when it's running 3D games at 45 degrees), then the temperature does matter, too:)
Besides, when you start to add things like more(fast) harddrives, a video card with a fan, etc, it certainly helps to know that the most significant part of your setup is taken care of.(though Joe Average will probably just have his local dealer sell him some nice-looking case with 4 fans and 500W power supply in order for this not to come up in future:) One less fan there wouldn't make a big difference there, yeah)
Btw, since then is P4 3.2 cheaper than A64 3200+ ??? I've just looked at my local store's site(where I've bought mine), and the price for a cheapest boxed P4 3.2 is $400 CDN, while for 3200+ - $290 CDN. You're sure you're talking about 3.2 GHz version?
They could have mentioned that, too. It's really nice to see my 3000+ stay below 30 degrees C(at 800MHz) most of the time I'm using it(and no case fans or anything, just what came in the box), and not even always going full-speed when gaming... Fairly quiet, too, even with my really cheap and quite loud case.
Wouldn't help much in comparison with 3200+, but it's still a nice bonus on all Athlon64s, especially when over half of your time is spent on normal workstation tasks, with the rest being gaming:)
...is another important thing:) Finally, proper 32bit ioctls and libraries, no more mixing 32/64 bit releases and trying to use indirect rendering.
Btw, that was done for DRI drivers quite a while ago - talk about the usefulness of having access to the source code. And no, they aren't that useless - you can still play UT2004 with them, although it won't look as good(and I didn't notice much difference, except for performance, in ET(btw, for some reason, my FX5200 is _way_ slower while playing on radar/battery maps in ET than in any map in UT2004)
Funny, isn't it? The last person whom I've seen this happen to had already (seriously, no jokes) decided to stop using his computer(recently bought, though not suprisingly the old one was in a similar condition), email, web, etc for a while. Fairly sad sight. Well, someone(not me) comes along, after a number of reinstalls and some dances around the magic circle he got the virii removed and the system somewhat functional. The owner now refuses to even consider booting from a Knoppix CD, let alone use it, happy until the next set of remote holes or a new machine...
I can't call that the force of a habit, that's serious and unhealthy addiction, and needs to be dealt with accordingly. Scariest thing is, with the amount of advertising and publicity window$ enjoys now, it isn't that suprising to happen to adults, let alone to children(what does a new political regime do when it comes to power? and whom is it easier to teach?). And worst of all, such a "habit" is being equated to opinion, which every individual is supposedly entitled to.
As funny as it is, why can't it be true(partly, that is)? Personally, I'm feeling more than happy with an Athlon1200, and I'm sure a lot of people would as well. So what's the perfect excuse to buy the newest-fastest CPU? To run WinXP/Longhorn/whatever else comes along! Surely you can't have satisfactory performance with only 1.2GHz! IIRC that's approximately how it has been for the past several years.
I guess they were just too lazy to make a proper photo of a mirror(which isn't that always easy), and were really rushing to put the picture together;)
+5 Observant is well deserved anyways, for sure:)
I think they only gather a couple of packets, then figure out some basic info from them(AP model, WEP-encrypted or not, etc). And those are sent out a couple of times per second, aren't they? So I don't think high speed is much of an issue, either.
Gotta RTFA now, though:)
Whoa...
I happen to be using yandex-mail for a several years, and I still probably wouldn't have noticed that. Thanks a lot for telling, really! Though I use pop3 to get it most of the time, for me it's still useful to have a lot of storage space sometimes.
(I'm not supposed to write other than in English on/. - org, am I:)
Yeah, we've got some strange moderators for this one...Especially when they(/he/she) can't read the article a few posts down.
Mod funny, at least, if you're so eager to spend your points...
Nooooooooooooo:) He forgot to tell you about the horrible, pathetic creature called "Warriors of the Wind" which belongs in the trash can in the same store. Do not as much as try to watch it(I'm serious, RTFF)! Btw, you probably won't be able to find the video in North America, not until April, at least, but you'll always find the manga(which of course is much more valuable)...
Wait spending your mod points, you haven't seen the takeoffs in the movie yet;): 1. Mehve is taken out, wings are unfolded. 2. Some pedal is pressed. 3. The glider jumps in the air, engine starts. 4. Nausicaa somehow hangs in the air for a few seconds, turns around, and somehow flies forward(nothing in the glider changes, apparently):)
P.S. Seriously though, the landings don't look that bad(and the glider isn't crashed, just let go a few metres further while the pilot jumps(or walks) off).
You don't have to lay on TOP, you can also hang at the BOTTOM, in theory at least(and in the movie). Isn't that how they want to carry out the first test fly(no engine, the person runs with the Mehve over him/her and jumps off the roof of some building:)?(Looks quite interesting and quite a bit more stable, apparently) Btw, I believe there was a lengthy discussion on the mailing list about the computer-controlled possibility, not coming down to much, though...Anyways, I don't think it's _supposed_ to be easy to control:)
What a pity the model is not as elegant as the original.
which includes interviewing for test pilots (women only!)
Actually, I remember the FAQ saying that women are preferable, weight and all:) Though I'm not that proficient in Japanese, and babelfish spits out mostly nonsense, so might have missed something. Don't forget, Nausicaa wasn't the only one able to fly such a glider well...
P.S. Please stop with those underwear jokes! See the movie(and watch what people are wearing), RTFF at nausicaa.net and keep in mind the messed up colours, too.(OT: read the manga too:)
While this is certainly good news for the future, but I'm wondering what's happening to the new Studio Ghibli films' dubs(Nausicaa and Porco Rosso) because of this? Wasn't Lasseter involved with them as well? Who are the actors working for now? I'm not that interested in the English dubs themselves, but I do want the DVD releases, badly:)
...is all I need for now to be happy:) Getting tired of various workarounds for 32bit OpenGL apps.
Btw, I wonder how long it will take for the project to appear on icculus.org when the full sources will be actually released?:)
While not really _made_ in 2003(but more or less properly(if you can call a horrible(imho) dub proper) released in North America, I think Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi(Spirited Away, that is) would definitely be the best of the movies that I'm aware of, with the other two Ghibli films released in April being very close...Don't know about the worst, but imho The Two Towers was not worth going even once(I fell victim to all the hype...not going to happen anymore:)
The question itself is too much of a potential flamebait, so perhaps I'd better not expand anything and stop here...
This is surely +5, but seriously, it is not funny...It just creeps me out, for all we know it might as well be quite close to reality, be it in year 2012 or 2021, still in our lifetimes...
Seriously, I think that's just a compliment to the mirrors...I never remember having speed problems getting any kernel version. We'll see about 2.6.0 stable, though:) I think an "officially stable" one would change that:)
Btw, I think it's slowly climbing up now:)

Thanks, I'm now even further away from buying any sort dvd writer... Instead I'm much closer to buying a couple of large shelves :)
So there will be problems with read support for the old drives, too, not just unable to write to the new media, right?

The FAQ
Nooooooooooooo :)

What is it then? It sounds like a jet engine and looks like a jet engine to me, or at least some futuristic variation of one.
