Actually, if you read other documents written by the writers of the Constitution, one of the biggest reasons for the 2nd amendment is to make sure the general public can successfully take down the government.
Implicitly, that means private citizens should be allowed to have military-grade hardware.
I'd have to see your XF86Config file to know what's going on, considering I've got dual-head monitors with 0 slowdown on my 733Mhz PentiumIII 1GB RAM Matrox G450 here.
Running at 1600x1200 on one and 1280x1024 on the other, too.
Offhand, I'm thinking you're running into something weird with the drivers--have you tried running it with just one card (i suggest the 9800Pro myself, that's what I use at home), with one monitor on DVI and one monitor on VGA (yes, I know it's not ideal, but it'll tell you if there's a driver fault right quickly.)
In my experience, most native US english speakers are taught early-on that when there's a two-vowel combo in a word (like ie and ei), if you don't know how to pronounce the word, to pronounce it with the first vowel's long sound--i.e, exactly the opposite of what you describe.
Nevermind that this breaks down in practice, and your pronunciations are an excellent general rule.
In that case, I'd build a network with an outer layer of security and an inner layer, depending on the severity of the risk. Unless you're entire business, down to the secretary's word-processing machine, needs a high level of security, then you're probably actually justified in your paranoia...but you're still wrong, because then you represent a situation very few businesses are actually in.
Which is probably the actual case--you're working for one of the very few places of business where an inredibly restrictive global security policy is actually justified.
A front line is where the main bodies of the opposing forces have met. This is not necessarily a terribly active conflict--by any reasonable military standards, the DMZ in Korea is a front line, given that shots are fired across it on a semi-regular basis.
The most active area is whereever the most destruction is going on, whether that's the front lines of the ground war, or the front lines of the air war, or the place way back behind the lines where two or three special ops companies are taking an important target.
1) 25%, mostly from a time before napster and the RIAA, when LAN shares on college networks were still a legal grey area in the minds of people like me. 2) 0% 3) 10% 4) 65% 5) 0%, give or take the occasional track someone sends me to sample.
I've been on a program the last few years to "legalize" my music collection from college, by buying CDs to replace downloaded mp3s. This gives me the triple advantage of a hard copy backup, a source of additional songs by groups who I have only a few songs from, and it makes my collection legal.
I tend to mostly buy used CDs, because I'm not comfortable with the RIAA at all, despite not really being in a position to be targetted by them.
WEll, you see, some of us work for companies that are "enlightened" and actually have competent IT staff that don't simply blanket-ban everything that might ever be a possible problem.
I know it's hard to imagine, stuck in drone-land, but there exist good places to work, with sane policies. They only look lax or non-sensical because you're used to working with idiots.
Now, can you tell me how to set it so it wakes me up at the right time every day? Y'see, normally in winter, I'm out the door about an hour before sunrise, and I'd like to speed it up a little.
So where's the "set" controls?...oh, BTW, yes, you ARE a complete dumbass.
Hey! Haven't seen you post in a while, but I've been ignoring the front page. Anyway, I just wanted to say, you're STILL the dumbest piece of monkey semen to post on this site. That's all. =)
Conversely, there's a school of thought that says that dress codes are there not because of conservative dress, but because they enforce discipline.
Put another way, I don't care if the dress code is pressed slacks, blazer, and tie, or if it's lab coat, knee-high polished boots, and speedos--as long as it requires a daily effort to make it up to clearly defined, strict standards--creativity is good, but discipline is ALSO good. Equal parts are necessary.
My final response to your idiocy is to point out that I live within fifteen miles of the largest Amish community in Pennsylvania outside Lancaster, and an Amish construction company has handled every addition to my parent's general store as well as building their house, and that I've had at least once-a-month contact with them for something under fifteen years.
You, sir, are so idiotic that OTHER people are jumping on your nuts now, so I don't have to feel it's my civic duty to inform you of your idiocy.
Oh, while I'm at it, is their paying cash somehow contributing less than your credit cards or health insurance? Did I miss something?
Apropo Dune quote: "Take what you want, and pay for it." Unless you're making some sort of breakthroughs in research, you're "contributing" exactly as much to technology as they are--you're paying the going rate.
I dunno about contributing the least, a lot of the perishables in my supermarket (and a lot of advances in organic crop-raising and dairy farming) trace directly back to the Amish.
Oh, I'm sorry, what's your definition of "contribute"? I'm getting damn good milk here, and it helps me program better--not the least of which because it improves my morale.
As for "necessary", the definition is really simple--what's the lowest-tech alternative to accomplish this task to my satisfaction. Phrased alternately, what's the way to accomplish this that makes me least-dependent on the outside world--hence their near-universal use of generators rather than grid power.

I don't use Xinerama, plain old hand-hacking the XF86Config file worked for me, and it's just as fast as Windows on this hardware.
Matrox has always had bloody strong (if rampantly unofficial) linux support, though, with may actually be it.

Do that and get back to me.
I prefer dev in one monitor and API docs etc in the other.
Zzz. A gated community is a private place by definition, you dingus.

Somehow you cocks managed to slashdot support.dell.com AND dellpoweradapters.com, now what am I supposed to do with this piece of overheating junk?

Because the record of final appeal is the paper record, not the electronic one. Duh.
If someone requests a recount, then the electronic records are meaningless and the paper vote is all that matters.
I wanna see a cite for this. It'd be interesting to read the methodology.
Okay, I have a 19" Sony Trinitron tube at 1600x1200x85hz sitting side by side with a 17.1" Samsung 172x LCD doing 1280x1024x"75hz" (16ms refresh).
There isn't any difference in lag. Visual quality is higher on the LCD. You are an idiot.. You are an idiot...
Well, that explains the papercuts on Steve Ballmer's face recently.
I was more interested in the fact that half the ports on the back weren't connected to anything inside the case. THAT seems like a scam job to me.
That's GREAT, AC!

NO NO ALL WRONG.
You can generate two messages with the same hash.
You cannot yet generate a message with a predetermined hash.
So the passwd/shadow files are still safe (from this particular attack)
You ad hom, I ad hom. =P

Enjoy your life, buddy.
You are an idiot. I have studied economics.
From a purely utilitarian standpoint, human happiness is more important that technological or economic dominance.
I'm happy. The Amish are happy. You're clearly not. Maybe that means you, not they, are the ones with problems.
