From overclocking, you can, in a stable manner, gain a gigahertz on some chips on different cooling, saving you money in the end. Not to mention, it's fun. I have my Athlon mobile 2500 running on air at 38C clocking from 1.8 Ghz to 2.4. I have the alarm at freaking 55, and haven't hit it yet. I've found that I can get it up to 2.8 Ghz without the chip having a problem, but the memory fails then because of the frontside bus. This all with a 30 dollar heatsink and a 90 dollar chip.
Overclocking is worth it on chips that are made well.
It's amazing how badly butchered the translations of the bible have become, with little acknowledgement to the fact that it is wrong. There are a lot of things that are translated very strangely that are very... Outlandish.
I hope you'd agree with me though, that the King Jame's version or something very similar is the standard of what Christians base their faith on. The original matters not in that context, as people still have the ideas that are put forth in the version they are reading.
Yeah, I know the grandparents intentions. Just had the urge to poke fun at him. Also, I wouldn't call SCO a large corporation. Hehe
I have Freesbie already and have played around with it a bit. I want an install, but I also want a BeOS install. I have a spare 133, and my other computer that I have full access to has all IDEs used along with stuffed 10 gig hard drives.
I'm thinking about just getting a 200 gig Seagate, and partitioning it up rather gratuituously with Gentoo and 3 flavors of BSD. I also need a router, which the 133 might turn into, but it would be fun to possibly play with BeOS on it... I need to find another old box and just have 2 of them.
Sorry for rambling. About to head to bed. Have been working on changing the way I use my computer again for the millionth time. Started using Mutt and ratpoison today from Fluxbox and Thunderbird.
Bah... The reason BSD Club has those rules is because the members are dying, so they are unable to talk anymore and the new recruits are the only ones that aren't suffering from horrible diseases that prevent them from coding. The new recruits have to pick up the slack.
Since when has the BSD crowd enjoyed posting flamebait? Hehe. Aren't you breaking your rules?
Oh, and Linux is SO COOL! SCO SUCKS. Microsft.. *checks his notes* sucks! Is that still the stance, or are we hating someone else now?
All in jest though. I want to have some BSD installs, but I am quite lacking in hardware. Perhaps one of the dying folks would leave me a spare box in their will?
I only replied because I noticed the "anti-bible thumping" quote. I enjoy doing that, so I took the oppurtunity. Anyhow, modern Christians are not confined to Old Testament at all... They are confined to New if anything. I do know the differences, and the fact that some sects of the cult have dropped Old, saying it isn't as bad.
I hardly setup a straw man though. You are right, you were specific in Old Testament. However, I wasn't arguing with you specifically on that point. Sorry about the inflamatory comment, I'd just assumed you were another psychopath Christian. There are a lot of them, ya know?
In the end, this is all pointless. That Christian bible condemns gays, and Turing was a practicing gay. To the grandparent of our post, the environment is changing for the better somewhat but not completely. Bush is a good example. I have a professor at my college who I admire greatly, who also is gay. He's had more than one instance where people would discover it, and use the school message system to send him messages along the lines of "Die, fag!" and other pointless things... In college for fucks sakes...
People are scared of what is different and what they can't understand. Sadly, some of those people that are different and hard to understand are the ones that people like us look back upon and are astounded by for many reasons. Regardless of that though, they're still people, and should not be treated differently for something that doesn't even effect the person that is mistreating them.
If you're going to bring the bible up, at least know what it says...
Romans 1:26
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
1:27
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:31
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
1:32
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them
All of that is related, and ends with saying that they are worthy of death for desiring someone of the same sex or accepting others who do. That's in the New Testament. You'd expect that from the old, since it's generally vile, but the New Testament is rather sneaky with its pervasive evil.
Off your post, to say that Christians have nothing to do with Turing's death is illogical. It's one of many things that I believe Christianity has done to hurt modern society.
And on gay marriage, the law either needs to be changed so that you have to have a kid to get married or you allow everyone to. That simple. Your logic is flawed on that fact, since the Christian church does not allow children out of wedlock.
How is it damaging if a crappy copy of Harry Potter gets out? I'd WANT those crappy copies out if I were Warner Brothers. It prevents someone from getting a DVD preview and then putting that all over the place. If there are crappy versions that have horrifying sound and horrible video, people will see that as a tease and go see the real movie. It's a freaking kids movie! Kids won't be happy watching something on a small screen in the worst quality possible!
I agree about the civil war. I'm merely pointing out that as history adds the loss of freedoms, people always look back and can say "well, that's not that bad..." and not care nearly as much when they lose something else of lesser value. That's why freedoms and governmental transparency can be reduced, in my opinion. The government got away with it at one point or made the infrastructure at another.
A problem arises though... Because of that, the dragnet can also catch normal Americans. There were no American's of Polish descent in the concentration camps. In this war, because we are racially sensitive and aren't targetting things particularly (beyond race), we're hurting Americans who have nothing to do with this "terror" war. I think you're right though. Society today is better in a lot of ways.
That's not the issue... The issue is that they are extending it past that war. Do some research on it and realize that they are using it to prosecute normal American citizens. If they target it, they need to have a PUBLIC way of showing what they are targetting and have it defined and not go beyond that. They are not doing that. There needs to be some more checks and balances here, and it needs to be ruled that information obtained through this outside of actions by individuals that are classified as terrorists by a set standard is null and void in a court of law. Then, the person needs to know they were monitored and what was monitored. After that, I won't care as much.
I didn't mean that as the civil liberties were taken away permanently at that point. The erosion being accepted though wasn't as huge of a deal since people had already been shown how it can help fight against whatever they were fighting against. I'm sure you can come to the same conclusion on your own.
Well, I wasn't going for user friendly, and I realize WHY it won't render. I mention it in my slashdot journal, and I am aware also of the problem with serving.
I just find it amusing for purposes of showing people something that is fully valid, yet still does not function in IE. I've recruited a couple of people towards Firefox with that partially being the reason why.
I think if everyone started making websites like my own, that wouldn't be an issue. My site does NOT work in IE. The main page doesn't even render. I'm using CSS1 on the main page, and it does not render. That's site compatibility for you.

The best browser, hands down, is Mozilla Firefox. If you disagree, you're wrong.
I think this all depends on which direction the code has taken. I'm hoping that it's more complicated than a Wine fork. If this is an end all runtime for Windows or close to it, I won't be complaining later. I worry though, that this will just be a pointless fork. I'm hoping that this can add to Wine and be itself something greater. That would be ideal. It's just worrisome with how they'll manage everything.
I agree there is a HUGE difference, and that's why it has been a gradual erosion. The civil war, in my opinion, can be where you see the first truly negative attacks on civil liberties. Lincoln was the president that this country started its decline under in my opinion.
We have been working on David for more than two years now. David is an experimental prototype, and is based upon technology that has been evolving over the past 15 years.
David is unique, however we do not claim, nor have we ever claimed that David is 100% our own proprietary code. We are currently testing and updating our basic system architecture/design, which now uses a combination of open, free and proprietary code/modules from numerous sources.
Ummmm... The technology has been around since 1989 they say? And developing? But they hadn't gotten that far enough to be able to run simple Windows programs? All this would appear to be is a Wine fork with proprietary additions. That's fine, but I just wonder how much is their own code and how well it will work... We'll just have to wait and see.
Why don't they just put the code into Wine instead of forking it? I didn't read the letter, but they are forking Wine? They have to release all of the source code again unless they find some devious, stupid way around it. All this is, is a fork at that point? I'll read the article now, and hope that I'm wrong.
Everyone has something to hide one way or another. As the laws are enacted to prevent more actions that should not be prevented, privacy becomes even more of an issue. Today privacy is needed even more, but is being eroded even faster.
When the government becomes interested in you and your privacy is gone, where should that stop? Does the government have the right to watch you sleep with your wife because you have nothing to hide? Should they be allowed to make sure you aren't doing drugs in your bathroom by adding cameras there?
The more you let your privacy erode, the closer you get to living in a world like 1984. We should be headed in the other direction. You saying "I have nothing to hide" is horse shit. At least 1/3rd of this population is a criminal in one sense of the word statistically. Look it up sometime.
Simply explained, this is from the erosion that has been going on for a LONG time. After every war, the government wanted new rights to make sure that no one inside the country were on the other side. At least, they said that. During the US civil war Lincoln stripped away as many civil rights as you could imagine. After WW2, there just wasn't the same protections. People were so scared, so they allowed this to happen, and it still happens today.
As FDR said, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. We're afraid right now. And that, personally, makes me worried about what is going to happen.
Since the mistake was made going Windows, that's about the best you can get without having more power.

There are some bands where the singer gets physically into it and obviously is singing. Of course, it effects the way they are singing, compared to Britney. 45 minutes into a set and she can do a full gymnastics routine while hitting a high note for 30 seconds. That's believable.
Speaking of which though, Megadeth was in town and I was at that concert. The equipment wasn't working, but instead of fixing it which they already waited about 2 hours for (my town sucks) they came out and did the taped crap. Supposedly they changed half way through the set, but the hell if I could tell the difference.

You're completely missing the point... Faster memory? Ok, 300 dollars. Better hard drive? Ok, 100 dollars. New video card? 300 dollars. Add that up? 700 dollars. Overclocking? Free.
From overclocking, you can, in a stable manner, gain a gigahertz on some chips on different cooling, saving you money in the end. Not to mention, it's fun. I have my Athlon mobile 2500 running on air at 38C clocking from 1.8 Ghz to 2.4. I have the alarm at freaking 55, and haven't hit it yet. I've found that I can get it up to 2.8 Ghz without the chip having a problem, but the memory fails then because of the frontside bus. This all with a 30 dollar heatsink and a 90 dollar chip.
