  1. Re:Degraded Performance? on Microsoft Providing Virtual Server Free · · Score: 1
    I do believe that may have something to do with the fact that VMWare Server is in Beta testing right now.. hence the debugging being turned on.

    FWIW, Beta 2 was released today.

  2. Re:VMWare Server Beta 2 released Today. on Microsoft Providing Virtual Server Free · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Free VMWare Server, Beta 2 was released today.. possibly this fixes some of the bugs you've encountered.

    I don't consider it a bad thing, if the only "good" thing that comes of VMWare's offering causes Microsoft to release its server as free also.

    It always helps if you spell the groups name correct, I did a search on the discussion for
    gutenberg, and yours didn't come up since it was spelled gutenburg

    Interestingly, the link you gave is spelled correctly, however, the search didn't search the url
    text apparently.

    I'm not sure if you're referring to the canadian court decision stating that the levy put on blank CDR's doesn't (currently) cover memory card and hard-drive based mp3 players... if you are, I don't suggest getting too happy about it, it will only be a matter of time before the law/levy rules are amended to (re)include memory card and hard drive based mp3 players... as several posters point out, "for the rich, by the rich" ... it only takes money to change/make laws.

    You could detect different frequencies, therefore ruling out the frequency the RC is running on. You can run on AM, or FM frequencies that could also be a differentiator.

    True enough, and it still stinks they put a 25/per day limit on the free accounts (plus advertising signup), but its still nice to use for things that need a permanent email address, not one that you expect to get alot of email at.

I was going to mod yours as flamebait after checking up on it, but decided a response would be more useful I think. I then had to undo some other mod points i did earlier on the discussion, in order to post this reply. :

    In this case, its a premium service, not a "buy in bulk, and get it cheaper"... that would be buying a gbit pipe. Small businesses will lap it up at those prices. T1's are several hundred more in most markets, for 1.55/1.55mbit.

  14. Re: Look at AMD Athlon Mobile CPU's on Canon Digital Rebel Hacked Into A Pseudo-10D · · Score: 1
    Currently, if you buy an AMD Athlon XP 2400/2500/2600 Mobile processor, (the 2400's and 2500's are best bang for buck), these are the same processor as the regular Athlon XP processor, except, they've gone through and tested for the ones that will run at their rated speed, with the least voltage. They leave the clock multiplier unlocked (for speed changes so as to save battery in a mobile machine).

    Take the lower voltage requirement, and the clock multiplier together, and you have yourself a highly overclockable Athlon CPU. Average simple overclocks, even without voltage bumps, move the processor to 2400mhz (3200+ PR rating). Add an enthusaist cooling system, bump the voltage, and you can reach higher of course.

    If you do a google search, you'll find quite a few hacks for different burners... some 4x burners upgrade to 8x (liteon), some hacks allow burners to burn at their maximum speed on cheaper media that was only rated for 1x or 2x speed, region locks removed on some, etc.

  17. Re:AMD once again taking the lead. on Red Hat Introduces NX Software Support For Linux · · Score: 1

    Actually, when Intel switched to the Slot 1 design, AMD had no choice but to design their own slot, since Intel purposely denyed licensing by other processor companies (unlike the socket 370, which was licensed to cyrix (joshua cpu's) and via (C3 cpu's). The AMD Slot A's were very short lived, from 12-18 months, offering up 500mhz to 1000mhz models, near the end of which, they started offering the new PGA Socket A processors. The blame for the slot/socket fiasco lays solely on Intel in this case.

    Virtual PC 7 (for G5's) was supposed to be out already, but has has been pushed back to the 2nd half of 2004, which also caused the delay of one edition of Office 2004 for Mac.
