I think a demo of the game would be much more useful that watching some 'professional' game reviewer play. Most 'professional' game reviews suck. Games get a 7 out of ten even if they are complete crap. Does anyone give any real credence to 'professional' game reviews anymore?
Personally, I like hot sauce, so three to eight fresh habanero peppers a week doesn't sound that bad to me.
But I realize it's way more than a lot of folks would want to eat. I'm surprised the mice were willing to eat it.
Of course, if you want to reach the same dosage/body-weight, and the mice were eating 400mg,... That's a whole lot of capsaicin for a human.
You aren't going to find a spammer by looking at the IP the connecting to your SMTP server either. That's only some dumb zombie machine or open relay left open, that the real spammer, located elsewhere in the world, is taking advantage of. (I'll leave out the part about only an idiot assuming the person owning the IP would be the real spammer. It just goes to prove my point that some folks will call someone a spammer, when they are actually the victim of one.)
"hosting spam" isn't a DDos. It was just an example of how an open resolver can be abused with no local machines being compromised.
Then you don't understand DNS resolvers. Did you bother reading the linked site? All you need to do is query an open resolver with some domain you set up (ex my.span.com), then change the authoritiative DNS of your registered domain as the target open DNS resolver. Now whenever someone anywhere in the world queries for my.spam.com, it hits your DNS server (until their local server caches it). It looks like you are hosting the spammer.
Another problem:
(Quoting a post on the other site)"they can send a 70 byte packet to your DNS server, and your DNS server will send a 500+ byte packet to the victim. With EDNS0, that can be 4,000+ bytes.
So with a dialup account, it would be possible to saturate a T1.
There's plenty of ways for them to mess with you without any 'compromised' machines on your network.
I have tried it. Using it, there's no 'major' speed advantage over Postgres. Plus with Postgres you don't have to worry about your stupid database thinking Febuary 31st is a valid date.
InnoDB is also much slower than MyISAM. Once MySQL tries to add in some of the basic consistency features that every other database takes for granted, it's speed advantage (for a low number of users, it doesn't do well at high user numbers) goes away.
It is if it's fully (or almost fully) POSIX complient. Microsoft promised us NT would run win16/32 apps, OS/2, apps, and UNIX/POSIX apps back before NT came out. It turned out they did a real half-assed job of POSIX support. Yes a very few POSIX apps will run on NT/2k/2003, but most won't. To get most of them to run you needed to install cygwin, etc, or it's just not going to happen.
Those are nice little scanners. I've got a 30 myself. But I think for what this guy is doing he's going to want a large unit with an automatic feeder tray so he can toss in a multi-page document, hit the button, and have it all go to file. The LIDE-50 just isnt' going to cut it for that.
Either patent something new or pay the licensing fee.
Getting rid of patents removes the incentive for massive R&D expenditures. Please tell me why anyone would spend tons of money on R&D when they couldn't recoup it without patent protection.
So, going to college puts you in the top 10% eh? From 1990 to 2002, the number of high-school graduates entering college went from 60% to 64%. The percentage of Americans ages 25 to 29 with a bachelor's degree rose from 23% to 29%. Top 10% just by going to college? I don't think so.
I expect you must be one who has fallen for the scams the way you pull numbers out of your ass to describe the American public.
Right. Because lots of companies are going to throw millions of dollars into R&D when the company next door can just wait for them to produce something, then produce an exact copy. The company who did the R&D has millions of dollars of R&D to recoup, the knock-off has 0 dollars to recoup. The knock-off company can sell theirs cheaper, so no one buys from the company that spend all the R&D money, so they in turn go out of business. That's a brilliant plan you have there.
Most graphics cards want 16, unless they are in SLI mode, then they need 8x each. Interestingly this motherboard has two 8x PCI-Express slots (as well as 2 PCI-X slots), but still has the ATI onboard video. If only the two 8x slots were capable of SLI, this thing could be the ultimate motherboard for very rich gamers. With a multithreaded game and 8 cores, and 32 GB of RAM, the CPU and memory sure won't be the bottleneck in the system.
I also live in Ohio. My sister actually worked for Diebold many years ago. I'm not tired of Diebold being a whipping boy at all. They deserve it. A vote is a precious thing. It should NOT be trusted blindly to Diebold.
I understand that no everyone has the knowledge to know to just make sure they get a computer that they can upgrade the video card in, but I'm lost on your point about only 68% having a PC. If the other 32% can't affort a $299 computer, I think buying a $299++(with all the accessories you need) gaming console is also going to be out of their budget.
Sorry, but I think you are entirely wrong there. Most folks these days have a PC at home. The only thing you really need to make your standard PC a 'gaming rig', is a decent graphics card. My old ATI 9600 runs everything out there right now, and it doesn't cost anywhere near the price of a new console. CPU? You dont' really need much. My aging Athlon 2400+ is more than required to play the latest games, and even 'cheap' new computers come with that much CPU power these days.
Wait. You are implying a hardware vendor went out of their way to give unrealistically good comparisons of their hardware compared to their competitors by mucking around with the benchmarks setup?
I hope no one tells ATI or Nvidia that this is possible.;)
History repeats itself. Wait for the real hardware to come out and be benchmarked by independent 3rd parties before getting worked up about how great the new Intel harware is going to be, once it's not vaporware. Nothing new here folks.

Froogle found two places selling them for $945.

It's still crazy money for a case, but it's down a lot from the $1500 it used to sit at.
I was thinking as a regular habit, or even as a prophylactic. Of course folks would do it if it where that or death.
Damn, your right. I misread that. I don't know many people hard core enough to eat 24 habaneros a week.
So it isn't actually Oracle that is the problem, but moronic consultants. Lay the blame where it belongs.
Hopefully not as many points as you get for holding up a line of tanks, by standing in front of them.

Data consistency. Check it out sometime.
*Real* native POSIX support IS news.

How many millions in R&D did you spend to open that store across the street? Apples and oranges.
Really? That's suprising seeing that nearly 75% of U.S. households have internet access. (And that was back in 2004)
Went to college? More like the top 10%

Speak for yourself. I always liked Carter.
A retarded easterner with a fake Texas accent who skipped out on his military duty and sank every business he ever ran? Good question.
