Yes, it does make sense. One, is that when you upgrade your cpu again, you don't have to put out the money for the water cooling system. And Two, what happens when you want a 2.2GHz computer, and none is out.
You guys are missing the point that overclocking is about being a nerd, and fooling arround for optimization. Its not going to save you money, like any other hobby, it will make you spend more. You spend it because you enjoy the hobby, not because its economical.
Honestly, I am waiting for a company to release a digital film unit that would fit in the old SLRSs. This way they would not have to spend a large amount of money on a camera that will need to be upgraded in less than 5 years. They could simply upgrade the digital film unit, and keep the old body and lenses. Thats the great thing about 35mm, I will not have to buy a new one every few years. Hell, I started out on my parents that was over 20 years old.
Plus, people who are mildly interested in cameras develop a liking for a particular camera, and having to switch to a new one is an akward progression.
Actually, the publishers and teachers are working together. The publishers pay the teachers to write and update their own text books, and in return the teacher requires the latest edition. It is a little hard for people like me to understand why no open sourced books have been developed because we should be supporting people going to college. Not taxing them with expensive book costs..
Although the form factor needs to be scaled down (can we say flash drive?). I think the idea is awesome. Think of being able to walk around and Any time you need to look at something, you sit down, and the computer automatically recognizes your presence. Think of a little egg shape on your keyring. You go anywhere and can use a computer just as you would at home. Now there is no need for a computer in the home. Think of the revolution that would cause. Other awesome uses. Have it talk to credit card machines to purchase items. Have it talk to coke machines. Have it talk to digital personal shoppers. This is a fantastic idea, and we need to look beyond that fact that its a hard drive with blue tooth. If this was implamented in large scale, it could revolutionize computing as well as our economy.
I remember after 9/11 alot was said about information warfare being the new medium. It was made into a big deal by the media, but I also remember Wired writing an excellant article on how physical attacks would be much easier, much more destructive, and much less expensive to implament. Since all that, I have been very skeptical about if digital warfare is ever going to be in our future. Assuming this is a true claim, des this now prove that we are in that age? Its one thing to claim a few kids are doing it, its a whole different ball park if you say military trained personell are carrying out the attack...

Or even better, the cell phone AP could be hooked up to a local line and thus not having to use your minutes. Assuring long distance and such is turned off by the phone company.
Waaiiiitttt a minute. Why not just program in a end of life into the original worm? Sending out 2 worms doesn't make alot of sense. Albiet the clean up worm is cooler though.
I am running 10.2 on my blue and white and it kicks some serious ass. I was a little nervous at first, but it runs really well. I am kinda reluctant to get 10.3 since the new ichat requires a g4 or better. Maybe after college I will have to buy a new mac.
I totally support them not using KDE or GNOME, although it may be a fine jump for windows to go to linux window managers, going from OS 9 to something as clunky as KDE or GNOME is obscene. It just would not have worked. If I ever find a windowing system for linux as good as quartz, they will have me won over forever.
X11 runs fine on macs and combined with fink, I have not found a linux app that did not have a suitable replacement.
As soon as someone ports all of the iLife apps, and the windowing to linux we will be set for buisness.
I have read several os x books and find that all have had little patch ideas or a vauge introduction. This disapoints me as someone who wants to get to the meat of the OS. Personally, I think this is a big hinderance of why people have not switched to powerbooks from their *nix workstation. If you want to learn about the OS, buy a freeBSD book and understand that there are a few differences
Actually, I live in Texas, and we have a large group of hispanics entering through us. Generally, they do not pay federal taxes because they are normally paid under the table. They do pay sales tax, but often use less money to do this as they send alot home to their families. And they often are not super well behaved because if they get arrested or do something illegal they are not liable, they will simply go back to their country and cross over again. I site an example where they drive uninsured cars with no liscense. We were hit by one lady who had never driven a car before. It totalled our suburban, and we were told by the insurance company we could not collect because there was nothing to collect. I personally am not against illegal immigrants when our country is in very properous times, but your facts are not nearly representative of the whole group.
I think you are also ignoring the fact that it encourages people to produce said porn. Yes, there are cases of photoshopping, but my guess is the majority of images like this on the web are not photoshopped. Those images had to come from a real place, with a real child involved. And if the rapist gets positive feedback on the picture, aka sees it on alot of child porn sites, he will be more likely to abuse the child again.
I also think that even though the statistics are shakey, if someone viewed it enough they would come to feel that it is a natural and normal thing. Kiddie porn, photoshopped or not, desensitizes rapists. And that can not be a good thing.
I don't have any stats to back it up, just using a little logic
actually, a friend had a similar issue with their computer. They somehow downloaded a trojan that had their computer act as a war dialer for numbers in the middle east. They had no idea it was happening because it dialed whenever they where not online and killed the modem sound. They finally found out a month later when they got their phone bill for 7k dollars! Two months later, they got it all sorted out, but all their phone service had been cancelled for a few weeks by that time..
Most of the people who use linux are technically apt enough to build their own machines. The reason lindows is such a big deal is it is for the very poor people who could not pay the windows tax. But once you get to a higher powered machine, most linux enthusiasts would rather build their own or use a pre-existing computer.
I think that although we see that open source is a community commodity, I don't think that it applies to the general public.
The job of the police plays very importantly into the stability of society. A ramped up version of linux is not so much needed. I like the idea of open source developers being paid, but I think O'Reilly has the best example of paying them by publishing their books on their source.
And besides all this, how long do you think it would take before only special needs are looked at through lobbying. How would the agenda of whats needed be set?
Nasa does alot of work with linux, but I am not sure how much of it is in development for the community versus adjusting it to its needs.
Furthermore, who here on slashdot would use a governmentally designed operating system? Please view the paranoia posts of on the rfid discussion if you don't believe me. =)
This article brings up an important trend in the slashdot readers, technology vs privacy. Many say that some technologies should never be explored, and I disagree.
I think that other technologies will come to mask the effects of this one, and thus balance and privacy will be restored.
I feel that the general tone that these are inherently bad for their potential to become aweful, but personally I would prefer for this to come to the publics attention rather then being used secretively without our knowledge.
I do, however think that legal actions can be done that can harm us much greater than any new technology. This is why we should investigate this technology, and advocate its opening up to standards so that it may not become a device to monitor people like herds. But will become a device that everyone knows how it works, and how to cirumvent it if neccessary.
We should all fight for a GPL of this, not scream that its the anti-christ of privacy... Technology, like the show, must go on!
The law in texas has the right to ticket or arrest anyone who is not selling without a liscense of obscene material.
I know this because
A) My sister works in a porn shop (yes, we are all proud she.. then again at least she is finally working)
B) Playboy repeadetly writes about people who get taken to jail for having porno in their car...
Recently they have been cracking down on both pornography and drug associated products (EG Pipes).. Evidently terrorist do nothing but get stoned and watch porn.
I would buy just for the sticker!
Seriously though, they do have a way better naming scheme then intel and amd...
It just sounds cool.

Thats it! I can finally get a cooler security system then all you!
How long they live? Or what the quality of their life is? I think that the later of the two is the real reason for extreme actions

the exploits.. I mean, couldn't this have potentially bad side effects if a new exploit comes out?
