I dont know, the guy from Apex Twin is pretty fugly.
The RIAA is just doing todays version of how "black" music was 'sanitised' for the white audiences. Race isnt as big as a taboo, so they need to just find / make a new one.
I already have a BFA, but am thinking of finishing off my BA in CS. Do you think it makes more since to have two BAs, instead of one MS?
The BFA is in Multimedia 7 Web Design.
I am another anti-Creative Labs person, i wasnt to fond of their little secret about their DVD decoders burning out nvidia cards.
Im very partial to philip's soundcards. I have an Acoustic Edge, and find the sound to be fuller, and richer on studio monitors than soundblaster Live cards.
My only experience w/ USB audio is Griffin iMics, which are a little flakey at times, and sound a little tiny on good headphones(compared to either the Live, or my Acoustic Edge).
Unfortunatly the philip's cards dont work right under linux, so i use my onboard soundblaster512 for Linux, and disable it under windows.
I do agree that for the most part, dealing w/ osX is easier than linux, but it is terribly buggy, and i think that OS 10 is a misnomer, i would put it closer to ~2.
From my experience, there are alot of small bugs, for instance, w/ setting up permissions, if you set up a users 'capabilities', then go back, it resets them all, so you have to recheck all of the progs that they can use.
There are also issues w/ many printers, for instance fierys have to be setup, then re-setup to run off of 10.2.6. The linux install was pretty straight forward on redhat, and im sure on mandrake a 5yr old could do it.
If i get a mac, it would be multi-boot w/ mandrake and OSX. I will trust OSX in about two more years, if apple survives.(this is to be funny, apple is, and always will be doing crappy financially)
The XLR8 chips are not always too good, I know we are talking about servers, but from my experience w/ photoshop on upgraded macs, they are not too stable.
The one good thing... there has been FAR LESS trolling since this started... im guessing the most trolling/.ers are from the North-East USA/ South-East Canada.
Its kinda funny, the news here (Chicago) has been harping on the fact that it cant happen here.
Apparently there were a couple of screw-ups here a couple of years ago, and Daley(Mayor) Gave them the ultimatium to fix it, or get out. The power grid here is now redundant, and made to NOT do the cascading falure thing, according to 'them'.
I was going to move East... but now i think ill stay here.
I dont think people realize that the nForce chipset is tweaked to play nicely w/ the GeForce.
Also, nvidia makes many of the graphics tools that game devs depend on. That is why so many games have the "Nvidia, the way its ment to be played" logo on it.
Everybody is saying that nvidia cheats.... Does anyone else remember ATI doing this for years? And the opinions on image quality.. My only experience w/ ATI is the Fire cards, and they suck, the images arnt sharp, not everything renders out(grass in most games), and they have had a burnout rate of 7/50 over the first six months. And from what ive seen from the 9700s, my Geforce2 Ti looks better, granted at a much lower frame rate.
There are too many 'normal' white people to do THAT to.
They wait for one that is a smaller group, like those of us that were wearing trench coats, that were all of the sudden going to kill everyone. I had worn a black trench, and listened to Marilyn for years before that, then it happens, and everyone starts looking at me funnier then before. Alot of us who fit the 'profile' regardless of where we were got pulled into the principles offices, and forced to change, ordered to see school shrinks.
We have always done this. Regardless of the group. If you havent seen Bowling for Columbine, do so.
I think that many of you are missing one important point, regardless of SBC, or Verizon winning, they are causing enough of a disruption to the RIAA that they will slow down, and it also wastes their money. The more money that they spend in court is less money they have to go after individuals.
If all universities (like in Boston) make it hard for the RIAA to get what they want, they will be a little less likely to go after them.
Unfortunately, that means people may go to some of the larger ISPs like SBC just because of this, and SBC will just gain more market share.
Also remember that SBC is a Texas based corp. They more-likely-than-not have greater political ties to the White House, above and beyond lobbying.
Although I'm not a big fan of SBC's near monopoly over the phone system in much of the country, I think that the RIAA's monopoly over the music industry is far worse.

Actually one of the provisions of the 'Patriot Act' is that to combat 'Hackers' the fbi can actually take your computer w/o even getting a warrent, as long as they have reasonable cause.
Right now in congress, there is a bill to take warentless searching away from the fbi, but Asscroft and Bush are fighting it.
Im sorry i dont have links to the articles, but if anyone reads 2600, they have it in one of the past two issues.
Remember, the Department of Homeland Security is running under the concept of 'suspect everyone', and 'if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear'.
The best part of Solaris 9 is that it will run all progs for Linux natively w/o recompile. So if you run Solaris x86, you can take progs for x86 Linux distros, and run them.
Many people don't like Solaris because of it not being free, and they don't understand it. Remember, it is probably the most developed *nix. It is far more stable than Linux.
The reason they switched to GNOME is because they wanted to have a common look and feel to the *nix family, and now that they are using it, will probably help develop it to a point where it is as easy to configure as some of the other ones.
I agree with you about M$ windows being good w/ app availability, but you have to consider its purpose, hard-core data processing, and the web. I personally run winXP pro (striped down) and Mandrake 9. I have played w/ Solaris quite a bit, and when I get money, will get a Blade 150 or Blade 2k.
As much as i hate nafta, all it did was shortcircuit the artifical environment that US automakers enjoyed.
Essentially, auto makers got the gov to put a tax on incoming cars, to make them more expensive to the consumer. They did this becuase they stagnated, and started to produce crap. Now the cars are crap, but they arnt protected, and we have a choice.
This would be the equivilent of the gov protecting M$, and putting a tax on Linux because it is 'hurting' a US business(remember many distros are forign).

MS was selling their C compiler in our bookstore for REALLY cheap. FUnny thing was that all the CS dept was using Suns, so it was worthless.
I dont know, the guy from Apex Twin is pretty fugly.

Yes, they do, like spreading FUD, unnecessary panic, and wasting a crap-load of $$.
really?
I use it from Mozilla on Mandrake almost every day.

Sorry to hear that, but your views are in the minority.

i know im a dork for adding this, but in perl, there is the sex class, which produces a func w/ random traits of the parents.... im shutting up now.

I wonder how it would run with the PC card?
When i do get a sun box, i will get one of these.
I heard in general it runs pretty smoothly, makes everyones life much easier.
Kinda funny that 30 years later we are returning to a terminal / timeshare systems.

Sun is also trying to get into the corperate market w/ their thin clients.
This book might be good for a user of those.
One of Suns big things, like ours, is kill M$, which this does aid.

The big problem with callerID is that the info is NOT CONTROLLED BY YOUR TELCO.
The information is added and changed by the phone switch the company owns (this is for bigger ones) and more often than, not filled out.
There was a really good article in 2600 that showed how to use those pbx switches to spoof caller info for social engineering.
