SCO's press releases ARE vir(ii/uses) as far as I'm concerned... just like the e-mail worms and such, they meerely consume valuable bandwidth I could be using for porn and lower my quake III arena pingtime...
approximately... 3.14159... err... uhmm... hey... this framerate is the most accurate representation ot PI I've ever seen!!!!!
Hey boys! Looks like we've already made a major breakthrough with this thing! Err... wait... DAMNIT! I died before I could get a screenshot! Hope i get the same framerate next time.
I guess the/. effect on e-mail addresses is delayed by several days, unlike with websites... not 10 minutes after posting about how I had not recieved a single spam in any of me email accounts, I got my first spam... lol
and my e-mail address lies unobfuscated in each and every one of my posts... and I get NO spam. I don't NEED and spam filtering software... because I GET NO SPAM... go figure...
aha! and they could charge royalties for every picture taken of the robo-mickey!
but they'd have to keep paramedics handy in case someone died laughing at Darl McBot... too many lawsuits there...
Then again... they could have Linus Borgvolds asking "Are you smoking crack? You know, 'cause they're smoking crack!" I think that would be more than well worth the trip from MI...
Slackware took it's site offline and all servers hosting slackware distro's are no longer accepting anonymous logins as of noon (eastern time) today (wednesday). pisses me off, too, as I was trying to DL slackware 9
have a 10Tb connection? a RAID array of about 40 420Mbps should be able to handle it with little problem. I say 40000 because you can't have 24966.095238095238095238095238095 drives, 25000 is sloppy, 30000 doesn't seem right, and furthermore, there is read/write overhead, fragmentation, and seek time to think about as well, so 40000 240Mbps drives would give you 16.8Tbps in a perfect world, but in the real world, closer to 10Tbps.
Who has that kind of dough, though? Microsoft, and, I'm sure, several web hosts. The logistical problem is the actual building of a RAID array that large, the amount of RAM needed in the server running the array simply does not exist right now.

Thank you, Wolfrider... it was so hard to resist trying to make him see the point which was (and I apologize for this) masked by a mis-informed analogy.
the point/* I */ was trying to make was that while Qt might be the best out there now, it can, and therefore should be improved. That's what open source is about anyway, isn't it? constant improvement!
So I used a not-entirely-accurate analogy, so what! I got my point across to those willing to look for it!
again, that was based off a quote from a government official who'se name I'm too damned lazy to remember right now.
as well, did you read my reply to HanzoSan's reply to my post?
no! if you did, i wouldn'd be posting this reply to your reply because you would not have replied.
I'm not labling you as a troll, as you seemed to at least back up your stand. But at least read the other posts in response to my comment before you repeat the words of a troll.
Again, someone please kick my ass for once again feeding the troll who posted the first reply to my comment, as I'm sure he'll eat this right up as well.
no hard feelings, PCB, as you do raise a valid point and I do agree with it. But please look as what my comment was based off of and take a sec to figure out the point I was trying to make. You DID manage to take this post off-topic.
forgive my lack of research and trusing in my government officials upon stating that although it is the best in the world, it should have been inproved years ago, and since it was no, it failed massively.
by many, it is viewed to be the best in how it handles changes in demand and the speed with which repairs can be made when needed.
My point was, however, not that the US has the best of everything. Nobody has the best of everything. It is a fact that the US power grid is viewed by many to be the best in the world for the above-mentioned reasons.
Yes, it can be improved. As well it should. That was the point I was trying to make.
Somebody please kick my ass for further feeding this troll.
okay, a tube can create a pure sine wave, whereas a transistor will ALWAYS have a gap between the minimum voltage it lets through and 0.
Perhaps I'm not explaining it too clearly, but I feel out of contact with the guy who once explained it to me, so I can't full well have him explain it again for you, now can I?!

as social beings, they play "I have more friends than you do"... no, they don't try to outdo each other... not at all...

or a single voltage level with positive, negative, and neutral (no voltage) current for the three states
distortion and coloring are created by poorly-made or overdriven tubes.
using well-made tubes and keeping them within spec will yield much lower levels os distortion than any transistor could ever hope to reach!

shut up and go pop a bag of popcorn with a transister.
err... you can't.
Your microwave contains a component called a magneton. This is a tube.
As well, the display on your VCR, microwave, whatever, if it looks like LCD, but glows, is an array of tubes.
Did I mention that the CCD on you DV camera, digital camera, video camera, and/or HDTV camera is a TUBE?! (if it's of any quality)
Why? Because a well made tube (yes, it must be well made to make a difference) just produces a higher quality signal!
is being pedantic similar to being a smartass? If so, that's me.
And, actually, as another example, IBM is IBM's trademark, and ibm is not.

The US has the best power grid in the world.
What happened earlier this month?
Just because it's the best doesn't mean it shouldn't be improved!
