When Gnutella first came out I used it quite alot. Then I stopped downloading for awhile because of connectivitiy issues, then a few months later with new versions the service just seemed slower. Think it may have had alot to do with how spread out the network is. As they said unlike Napster there are no centralized servers, it is easy to lose contact.
yeah I remember reading that. Which is why I think no mobo's support it. Motherboard companies will most likely release new rev.s of current boards, just to keep in the game without spending too much money
Pretty sure you need more than just support for USB 2 in order for it to work. You also need to have the hardware built into your computer. Pretty sure no motherboard is making mobos with a USB 2 port at the current time.
Check out USB.org
Although they do not make a direct statement saying it is different, they have alot of good info about the specs and classification.
Intel has been having a hard time with chips lately. I don't trust any PIII beyond the 850 mark (okay alot of ppl are prolly going to flame me for that, but that is a personal feeling). The PIII process is out of date and should be retired and the P4 is just being shoved in our faces like an empty promise.
Intel needs to take a step back and create a new product that'll help em take back the market. And yes I think AMD should take the market for awhile, they have not only earned it but deserve it. This is not to say that I think Intel should crash and burn, quite frankly, the race for speed has forced the 2 companies to develop new designs and think differently than previously.
But Intel just seems to be thinking like Homer Simpson.
"I don't know Herb, people are afraid of new things. You should have just taken an existing product and added a clock or something.."
Maybe Intel's recent problems with the 1.13 Ghz PIII will help them realize that they need to concentrate more on the products for awhile, rather than the market and $$$.
One can only hope.
Actually I took an old Compaq 386 laptop and did the same thing...cept that I used a CD ROM, and a boot disk. Thing was pretty small because Compaq layared the motherboard in the particular model I had. I ran pretty good, but it needed more RAM to really keep up with playing the MP3s extensively..
If the Question is whether or not hackers believe in spirtual natures, my opinion is that they have to. Not because some dark master is secretly pulling at thier strings, but mainly because of the possibility that they could exist. I think most people on the net have an atheist (sorry if that is spelt wrong) type opinion to the whole spirtual side of nature, but I think those who are wise still respect them, without actually believing in them.
Which is why I think they should come out with another standard. Like maybe a dual 300W power supply, with different adapters for certain situations. I know some people who Beowulf 2 computers together, and even run about a billion hard drives in the same computer. It could be useful for a bunch of diffeent applications, only prob is it wouldn't be cheaper to implement than the one they supply you with. Although it'd be a long term solution.
My computer with its 5 external SCSI drives make enough noise and consume enough power as it is. Now I gotta add another device that basically does the same thing? man...
Video Cards are becoming so sofisticated that eventually, if not now, its like running a second computer within your main computer.
Seriously though, if this card needs more power than it can get from an AGP slot, then maybe they should just hook it up to the internal power supply. Might have to create a new standard in power supplies, but I am sure this isn't the only card that'll head this route. [Unless someone comes out with the notion that smaller is better, type of marketing, with another card]. Wouldn't surprise me though. Every time I upgrade I have to buy a new case, cause the old one is obselete.
I've got a 200W, 250W, 280W and a 300W, I have yet to get an ATX case. Still running the old P5A-B, with the AT 300W case. Still good. Refuse to upgrade until this Intel VS AMD pissing match is over (or atleast subdued).
I haven't seen any specs, but it would seem to me that the card will probably not need more than 12V, which is what it could get from the power supplies without any extra wires or soldering. And the power supply can handle it. I came across some old Aptiva speakers that use the computers internal power (instead of a plug, it has a 12V adapter port attached to it). To power them I just ran wires from the 12V leads inside the case to a jack I rigged on the back of the case. Works fine. And I think the same could be done for the Voodoo6 6000.
Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if hardware sites came out with adapters for the
Voodoo6 6000, after it came out, to power the thing internally.
Just think if you were to accidently unplug your video card while your computer was running. I don't think it'd recover from that.

GM better sue my friend, he is using the trunk of his car to store clothes because he has live out of his car 2-3 days a week.
Dammit they better sue me too. I once used a GM car as a chair at a Drive-In Theater
I think the company feelings about this issue are quite valid. Someone should have contacted the company directly before just going out and doing directly without permission. I am not sure what the legality on this issue is, I am sure it is copyrighted in some manner.
Definately this was approached the wrong way. This is not to say that I do not support the open sourced community, quite frankly, it is one of the best systems for designing software there is. But the right channels have to be used when dealing with other peoples work is concerned.
I don't know. It'd kind of be like Mac suing me for using an old Mac Classic as my door stop. Being used for something else than originally intended.
Hey MS would still be getting theres.
Bascially this thing is a computer. Hack it and run Linux. It'll make one hell of a gaming/Linux machine. Cause you know someone is going to do it.
The only thing is from the perdictions that they are giving with the Pentium 4, this thing will be really obselete by the time it comes out. Maybe not from a gaming point of view, though I think Nintendo and Sony will most likely come out with a better machine by then aswell, but certainly from a computer hardware stand point.
Power Power Power! Everything is needing more frikken power! My damned room is gonna sound like a jet airplace by the time I start upgrading to new equipement. POwer plants around the country are going to have to increased thier output because a few thousand people need to power up thier machines. And my damned hyrdo bill is gonna cost me a fortune.
By any chance does this new case generate its own power aswell? Do I just have to replace a rat and or a wheel every six months to run my system?
Since my body is prolly already producing its caffine I might not care about this. I drink so much coke these days that my blood is probably 50% caffinated or more. You will hardly catch me without a coke in my hand.
Most hackers, sys admins and techies in general are prolly thinking the same thing.
Though it'd be nice for when I couldn't find a coke. Just need to find a way to make the process slow down or pick up as needed. Might have to install a dial. Only prob is if someone turns it up too fast by accident you might get seizures or something. It'd create a whole new series of medical problems (overdosing during pregnancy for instance)
So the robot reproduces asexually? (Or close to that). It did mention it needed a little help from humans. Won't be long before you come home late one night and find out that you have 4 new computers that all need operating systems installed on them.
Take 1 Large Room.
Add some open sourced software.
Add 5 tons of computer equipement.
Stir in a number of different techs over a number of months
Add caffine, pizza and other assorted junk food.
Bring to boil
I'd be more worried about Lunar Modules and stuff like that or capsules filled with monkeys (or monkey corpses). They'd be much bigger than a time capsule.
"Aw dammit, we have to about the mission. Damned monkeys!"
And our starships would most likely be contructed in space. But those vehicles that get you to our space station / space port might have a hard time. Might be like rush hour traffic or a futuristic version of "Frogger".
Okay I know the vaccum of space perserves everything so decaying really isn't a problem. But there is alot of space crap up there. What are the odds of something hitting a tiny time capsule? Or destroying it? Or maybe a space ship in a few thousand years might hit the thing?
Hell some phsyco alien might seize it and hold it for randsom. Hopefully we'll have developped giant laser cannons to blow him away by then....
[I've lost it I know..:) ]
Could you perhaps build me a lego car, complete with working components? What it might cost a couple grand? Sounds good to me...I'll just drive it home! Parts are easy to replace aswell...just rebuild em!
You actually tried using a hairdryer to levite a ping pong ball? The flow of air disapates as you move slowly out from the centre of the airflow. Now if the flow was constant at every point then it may be possible, but its not.
The ball will go up and then come back down very quickly.
I know that they would cancel each other out, at a single point at the very center, but as you get closer to each other magnet, the fields would become stronger. And since the average human being is 3 dimensional their bodies would be affected by the magnetic pull.
Okay I was reading a few comments and it suddenly dawned on me. Could you use 2 magnetic fields of the same density, but of opposite polar strength, be used to rip something apart (or someone as someone mentioned)??
