Why do desktop users need 64 bit other then having support for more then 2GB of RAM? For general processing, 32 bit is just fine. The only time 64 bit processing would usefull is when rendering video, and that is off-loaded by 3D cards nowdays.
Environmental protection = USA too cost prohibitive. Let's move manufacturing jobs overseas to China, India, Africa, and Japan
Government regulation = throwing the proverbial monkey wrench into a free economy. Let's make jobs wages to cost prohibitive. Let's oursource our white collar jobs to China, India, Africa, and..elsewhere.
Universal Healthcare = You will be taxed so hard that eventually we will all be forced to suck on the governmental titty. And my health is fine, unless it's life threatening, I don't need a stinkin doctor.
Civil rights = Political correctness at the expense of US security.
And he has strong ties to "Fritz" Hollings...whom tried to slip the TCPA bill through. I guess that's why Kerry said to Dean about passing bills by not putting your name on it. Sounds like he picked up some pointers from Hollings.
Without a doubt, Kerry is a snake. I don't trust that condescending arrogant asshole! And neither should the rest of the slashdot crowd
Holy shit! Your so fucking naive it scares me...you sheep.
Common, do you really think the FBI could track me down if I launched a virus while parked outside via someone elses WiFi network? It's not that freakin hard to do crime and get away with it.
I'm sorry if you see this as a troll, but the truth has to be taken into account regardless if you hate it (or me for that matter)
I hear the DeBeers uses a laser to etch their own logo on diamonds. I'm sure the logo is really small, but this is done to authenticate the real thing. So even if fake diamonds are cheaper and better, DeBeers will still sell their own "natural" rocks based purely on marketing.
And with synthetics, you can't use their logo or it would be trademark infringement.
The idea of capitalism is that you take advantage of negative human traits such as competition and exploitation. And as an end result, these actions end up benefiting humanity as a whole in a more positive light.
While it is true that corporate greed runs rampant in our society, don't think our standard of living has gone down hill because of it. Because by that reasoning, we should still be in the Dark Ages if not the Stone Age.
Keep in mind that sometimes you have to take a step backwards in order to take two steps forward. And in my opinion, capitalism is still the best way to bring out better progress for all of humanity given humanities current social behavioral nature.
Maybe when humanity evolves many thousands of years from now, communism will be the best route. Until thin, keep and eye on the bigger picture.
There might be an industrial application for such a diamond. For example, if you hollow out one of these gigantic diamonds, i'm sure it would make for a nice single piece hull of spaceship. Or better yet, a probe for exploring the deepest depths of stars and gas giants without fear of implosion.
Of course, trying to chip at such a diamond would be a bitch.
Obviously they didn't. But if Halo is any indication as to how MS markets games, then I don't see why Microsoft wouldn't buy out Blizzard either.
I can see the horror now. Microsoft gains the rights to Warcraft. They then scrap plans for the PC and Mac version of World of Warcraft. Now, they can port it over as an X-Box exclusive to boost its sales.
Don't think it can't happen. Well life has tought me a few lessons. Such as, money talks in the right amount.
Oh damn...I wish I could remember the name of the movie. But I remember hearing about such a movie in which Hitler was cloned many times. As a resault, each one of the grew up with different personallities and nothing like the original hateful Hitler.
I really hope tweaking doesn't imply reprogramming the video BIOS with values that over clock the card (such as the memory and GPU). If so, then he is a morron.
No no no. He basically saying he's going to start up a company like Falcon West, or Alienware. These two companies sell highend gaming rigs with benchmarks to back them up. That would have been a good idea on his part, but he is a dollar short and a day late. He can try, and the best of luck to him. But if you ask me, he'll be pissing his money away. Though it would still be a learning experience.
If I was him, I would first be buying a new car, and saving the rest for a college education.
Does anyone get the idea that maybe the Internet will be used for nothing but pushed intertainment like some glorified TV set? Soon, the Internet may be nothing more then a controlled system by Hollywood and the like. I guess I can look forward to my PC being nothing more then a dumb terminal.
He's been inteviewed before on that show. Keep in mind that Coast to Coast AM is purely entertainment. Sure, there are quite a few wack-jobs on that show. But hey, if the entertainment value is high, then it will show in the ratings.
And yes, Mitnick is very serious. And by nature of him being a hacker, he will be entertaining.
Hell ya, now maybe the can make a better Real Doll. I remember these being featured on the Howard Stern show. But at 10 grand a pop, I would rather spend the money on a real GF.

Does this map show all relationships happening at the same time? Or has it been plotted over time?
Also, check out one of the blue dots. He's bi-sexual. *snicker*
Unless there is market for for SATA drives that have a MTBF (Mean Time Before Failture) rating like SCSI, then I'm not going the SATA route.
And no, I don't want two SATA drives and RAID them. I want quality, not quantity.

There will be a scapegoat regardless if they find the real criminal or not. After all, Microsoft wants to ease the minds of consumers and investors.
No, your in the right field I think. There will be a lot of retired baby-boomers that will need a lot of treatment over the course of their lives.

I'm still holding out for diamond spray paint. That way, I can turn any rock into a diamond. She will never know!

I thought the root word of communism was community. And Open Source is made up of a community of developers and/or contributors.
I could be wrong of course.
communism in it's (purest?) best form.

At least the plan would be put down (or upheld) in a democratic fashion!

Keven Mitnick will be interviewed for three hours tonight on Coast to Coast AM radio. Check the website for local station listings.
