I was not clear enough this morning. Let me try to explain so you will see where i am going. The fact is Crays are not the most powerful machines and probably will only be at any single given moment. Technology marches on. To say that Linux is not suitable is much to broad a stroke to paint. For Linux continues to confond those who would box it in and say it has no place here or anywhere else.
Now the comment regarding the Cray way is a dead-end. High Cost non-standardized, non-modular systems are a dinasour from the past. Sure you can do some amazing things with this type design, but the lack of economy of scale is why CRAY has had money problems. The world wants cheap/scalable power. Sure you can sell these things to governments but private busines will not be so quick to bite...they have to earn their money. And the faster systems according to your precsious TOP500...are not CRAYs. The man was a visionary...but that doesnt mean for all time. Hello and welcome to the modern world. Big dedicated computers like the Crays are a dying bread. By any measure they are a fraction of a percent.
Hope that helps to clear up my statement for those who cant see the obvious.
How could Cray be wrong. I mean just becuase linuxis running some of the top 500 computers there is no reason to consider HPC right. What a self serving statement Cray makes....they still dont get it.... there way is a dead-end...
Here in Kentucky we are a 1-party consent state even regarding telephone taping. So screw them. Ill copy and save and tape any conversation im involved in even as a passive listner (excepting for wiretap violations which is federal) without worry.:P

You seem to think that IBM has a history of screwing up when it comes to legal matters. Obviously you are unfamiliar with this entity called IBM. Ask the DOJ (who did manage at least a victory in title against MS).....they fought IBM for 10 years with a good case...and finally they threw in the towel..you know why.
Simple....IBM has those killer Ninja Lawyers...:)
Really you will find that IBM is a top rate corporation that knows how to take care of business. They been around a long time and will continue to be.
First plenty of people have explained here that hes only using 6Watts of power to do this. Your puny JL's will not do this. (These guys are using JBL style drivers...look at the cones you can tell:) ) These are not car type devices which tend to be very low efficiency. These are PRO SOUND drivers (not to be confused with the aftermarket car guys claiming they are PRO Sound. The term refers to Professional Sound Reinforcement ie Concert type speakers. JL does not do this nor does any car sub company.) These drivers are close to 100dB/1w1m sensativitey not 85dB/1w1m. Also they are most likely 16 ohm drivers giving him a 4 ohm load to his amp. Beyond all of these differences the major difference is that he has distortion in the UNMEASUREABLE RANGE.....where as IIASCA pretty much is just measureing distortion. IIASCA may make a lot of money playing to the booming kiddies out there but as far as serious acoustics and sound quality they are a friggin joke.
If you cant tell this thing must sound incredible. It has some very serious acoustics behind it and the designer has chosen to not compromise on the setup. I bet it can make your skin crawl:)
I have experienced 4 18" Pro subs in a horn loaded design (Klipsch did this a few years ago at CES). It was fantastic. They used 3 watts of power to drive the subs:)
Braggin about how many watts you speakers take is sorta like bragging about how much gas you car burns per mile. Less is more....not the other way round.
because of course everything else involving the government runs so smoothly, cheaply, and efficiently.
What the hell planet do you live on...im thinking it sounds nice!
Because as we all know if you can listen to it...then you can record it:) Not that i would do such a thing...but im sure somebody here can figure out the end run on this model:)
I believe SCO has violated the GPL as well by only distributing other peoples GPL software now in Binary form and not in full source code. IANAL but im sure they done a lot more than this also. Time for them to get what they deserve!
It was even on SLASHDOT...oh wait...thats pretty much/. style...when short of stories well just talk about things from the past!
Its called a PoGo and i have one on my desk. Records radio and allows time shifting.
Wow. But hey this is news right....OLD NEWS...but news
Well if its taking you 20minutes to copy a 7mb file YOUVE GOT SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH YOUR MACHINE. PROBABLY A FULL HD OR A HD ABOUT TO GO OUT. While HD's are now common pieces between macs and pcs it is by no means the PCs fault. So CUT THE SHIT dumbass. It doesnt take 20mins to copy 7mb file on any decent machine mac or pc. So it would appear that your computer has some serious problems so it must be the PCs suck...wrong. Ive sold and installed thousands of MACS and thousands of PC's. Even Macs have problems....
Wow i can do all these things on my PCs and macs with no problems. Well lets see you can listen to songs in their entirety on Napster which you cannot do on iTunes. How come Apple cant seem to let you hear the whole sone but instead gives you 30 secs. Thanks ill stick with Napster.
EXACTLY...we CANNOT negotiate with TERRORISTS...
McBride, calls us Terrorist when he is in fact the TERRORIST.
I know sounds like a ranting raving lunatic, but think about it....he has one of the worst cases of self-projection i have ever seen.
you can get your locals. (or any locals). Get a Direct Tivo. Align your dish properly and you wont lose signal unless the storm is so bad that cable would be out also. Sat is up 99% of the time. Only during the worst rain or snow does it go down. Now if you mount you dish like they show them in the cable commerical expect trouble....do it right the first time and never screw with it in Lets see 6 years and counting.....
There are lots of PVR and DVR's but there is still only one TIVO!
It does not cost $13.50 to make/market/profit from a CD. Sorry that just doesnt work. Take a look at say a DVD player at Wal-mart for $39. It has way more cost of goods in it...and it sells for a lot less margin. For your information i own a manufacturing company and do extensive work in AUDIO. I can tell you it does not cost anywhere near the $13.50 to make a CD and market it. Another point that shoots yours down is TAPES...they are sold at lower prices then CD's... yet cost more to produce...explain that one SHERLOCK....you cant can you...dont defend the big record labels to me....you will not win. And no CD's shouldnt be a $1 how about $5-$10 somewhere in there.
You do realize that the US does not have DIRECT elections. That one can win the popular vote and lose the election. If you are unhappy with that system TOUGH! The founding fathers set it up that way. Their wisdom has proven far more durable then all this political BS that the Democrates still spew about the 2000 election. Had the shoe been on the other foot, the Republicans would not have challanged....it is not their style in a national election.
As for your book...well it is trash. His evidence is a gross misrepresentation of the facts. In fact the author is known for being a bit one-sided. (Actually completely one sided and nothing in life is that simple).
Actually, unless your company is above a set size (generally below 50 employees total) and DOES NOT CLAIM to be an equal opportunity employeer...then they can discriminate all they want. Check the laws you will be surprised....So as long as he is not in violation of those 2 items he can advertise his HINDU only programmers.
I am always amazed at the people that think just because the government and big business cant discriminate that everybody cant. This is still America....and i still have the right not to higher you because i dont like your kind!
WEll Invade is probably incorrect. But if the means by which RIAA collected its evidence was illegal it may allow enough wiggle room for a crafty lawyer to argue a client outta trouble with the RIAA since without the evidence of wrong doing they have no case:) just a thought.
Yes but as a counter point...and this is what you miss is that if i dont like Saturns pricing (which i DONT) i have choices of other makes of vehicles to choose from..... in music i do not... the RIAA and BPI have iron clad grips on the industry and are continuing to grip them. I myself am a manufacturer of Audio systems and find it unbelieveable that i would set a minimum price. In fact, MSRP Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price is just that A SUGGESTED retail price...in the end if you choose to sell it below cost and make it up in volume thats your business not mine. Once i sell the item to another it is theirs to resell as they choose unless we have a written prior agreement. Without this agreement (which i dont believe there is in this case) i have no legal grounds to prevent them from selling it as they see fit.
Also while 2 wrongs dont make a right....3 lefts do:P
No..See you notebook lithium battery is a LOT BIGGER BATTERY. the battery in the ipod is lithium but guess what SO ARE MOST CELL PHONE BATTERIES NOW!!! Common people...Apple designed it this way...you were dumb enough to buy it now deal with it. Seems like to me Mr. Jobs is a friggin genius...cause he just bilked those people into buying a device that must either be serviced for a profit or replaced with a similar newer device..... genius i say genius.
No thanks....1 more reason why open standards are better then Apple

Just remember without the good old USA there would be no INTERNET. (know your history)
I believe SCO has violated the GPL as well by only distributing other peoples GPL software now in Binary form and not in full source code. IANAL but im sure they done a lot more than this also. Time for them to get what they deserve!

Not yet anyways!
to get them to change it. Maybe they will maybe they wont. I certainly would not work for such a company.

You simply burn it to CD (which it will do) then its a WAV and its like anyother ripped music. So its not a problem.
