Here in we've been using a similar system for unique biometric identification of customers for years. It works a bit like this:
1) Walk into stor 2) Say 'Hello Ifan' to Ifan, the shopkeeper 3) Ifan says 'Hello ' back if he knows you
4) Say '2 grenade launchers, one baboon, and a pint of guinness please, my good man' 5) Ifan produces the above, charges your account, takes payment later. Nice and easy. And if you don't pay....
Is ATI's prevalence at all related to their more dominant presence in embedded applications, such as the xbox, gamecube, and other consoles?
nVidia tend to have far better driver support - you try to get multimonitor working properly on an ATI card in pre windows xp. And nVidia have hawt fairies!
I once had my mother phone me - complaining that the mouse wasn't working properly... After some 45 minutes of 'unplug the mouse, plug it in, try another socket (ha!), reboot' -- everything, i suddenly realised the was holding the mouse backwards - cord coming out at her wrist, buttons, closest to her. NOW try telling her which is the right and left mouse button.
I take it you mean a laden swallow? And swallows have a much better union than pigeons - they get to spend all of their time off galavanting about in the countryside, rather than having to beg for scraps in cities!
We used to program games in Basic, on BBC Micros! First game I ever wrote was a donkey kong clone, and a poor one at that - about 1500 lines of code, max.
Also, back in my day, we had to burn our feet as fuel, we were so poor. And we had no monitors. And we only had one keyed morse-code based keyboards. Bah!
I was worried, for an instant, that I wouldn't be able to watch betamax tapes of hot grits eating competitions in my garage while printing poorly reproduced pictures of Natalie Portman.
My current fileserver is an aging 600MHz P3, with 4 PCI slots, each occupied by a raid card. I've decked it out with 250GB disks, 4 on each card, 2 on the mobo, and 2 100GB disks on the mobo for swap,boot,and root. I've got onboard 100Mb ethernet, no graphics card, no sound. I've installed gentoo with a stripped down kernel, running samba, and it all works beautifully.
It's a fairly large box, in a full size ATX case, and the disks are also stored in a rack which I built and bolted onto the side of the case, as I ran out of space. Each partition is 1TB, using raid-0 (linear), as I don't care about redundancy too much. Power is supplied by a 450W supply, and cooling by a stack of old 6" server fans. Also, it lives in an outside closet, which helps to keep it cool.
In all, the setup has been relatively cheap, all the hardware is from eBay, and I've yet to have a problem.
I'm also running a bootp server off it, and am netbooting two media stations from it!
I feel that hospitals should amputate all limbs from, and lobotomize, new born children. While a shred of thinking power remains, and any means of locomotion is present, there is a chance that someday in the future they might engage in some kind of illegal activity. Everyone is guilty until proven innocent, the perfect world, think how peaceful it would be!!!
According to the linked article (in French) they have been evaluating open source solutions, however want to wait and see how things pan out for Munich before moving to Linux altogether, as it is, there have been worries about compatibility with openoffice of XML documents which they apparently generate with MSOffice. Also, 35,000 machines in a month is one hell of a quick rollout.
In that case, next olympics, why don't we make all the events unisex? And how many women sing bass? Have you ever seen a woman operate a jackhammer? Can a woman get a woman pregnant?
Conversely, the same works the other way. How many men (bar castrati) can sing soprano? How many men can give birth?
Actually, this is a European thing. Many old sculptures and statues were modified by the catholic church during past centuries in the name of 'decency'. Fig leaves were typically added, made of alabaster or a similar stone to the original statue, and affixed using concrete. This is also why many statues you will now see in this part of the world lack genitalia, as when the leaves were removed by a more enlightened age of society, the genitals fairly often came with.
The NYTimes photo is most likely an accurate picture, however is probably a lot older than the picture on the other site, and the fig leaf was removed sometime after the photo was taken.
They also post a link to the imaging site here. On this page, however, does anyone else thing that pictures two through to seven or so look a lot like Huygens hit a 'something' in the atmosphere which then slides off the lens later in the photo series? Why would this image remain static while the others do not, otherwise?
How dare you smite down our righteous cause? We are about to start a campaign to have the sun shutdown, due to HARMFUL rays which it sends out into space and earth, and to have DI-HYDROGEN-MONOXIDE BANNED. Also, we feel that it would be a prudent move to restrict movement of butterflies in Papua New Guinea, as they might cause hurricanes.
Rememer the wheels on YT's board and Hiro's bike? Telescopic radial spokes with rubber pads on the ends, terrain digitally mapped in advance by computer?
Before you grind someone into the ground, at least know wtf you're talking about.

Matrox are moving more towards the business end of the market, rather than 3d and games. They produce a variety of multimonitor systems, like this.
Pretty impressive, IMHO.

That's not any old RAM. That's either Ardy or Deedee the famous crossdressing Ram. Baaaaaaa.
He's in norway. Do you know how much it costs to hire a carrier pigeon to fly that far?

Microsoft move all internal support to linux - see their site.
Oh no, I misread that, it say 'we hate linux'. Fuck it, let's post the article anyway.

Ok... Replying to my own comment - how sad!
According to the linked article (in French) they have been evaluating open source solutions, however want to wait and see how things pan out for Munich before moving to Linux altogether, as it is, there have been worries about compatibility with openoffice of XML documents which they apparently generate with MSOffice. Also, 35,000 machines in a month is one hell of a quick rollout.
It'd be great if the moderators bothered to read the article. They are NOT switching to Linux, they are switching to OPENOFFICE.
In that case, next olympics, why don't we make all the events unisex? And how many women sing bass? Have you ever seen a woman operate a jackhammer? Can a woman get a woman pregnant?
Conversely, the same works the other way. How many men (bar castrati) can sing soprano? How many men can give birth?
Ob. Python. I Demand the right to give birth!
Hm. They could have fun, putting them back on upside down.

Probably. At least they don't use cooked horses/people. That would just be grim. It'd be an entire new genre of children's gore flick...

Seriously, 0.77? 0.77 euro? Pounds? Swiss francs? Pounds of flesh? Last time I checked, the £-$ exchange rate was pushing $2 to the pound.
By running enlightenment on it? Any other silly questions? If you don't know what enlightenment is, you must be new around here.
