How can they have real review of CPU coolers without a Zalman?
Easy, the Zalmans don't meet the criteria of being under $50. I have a CNPS9500 LED on my 3.4ghz P4 478 (hotplate that also does a little computation). I get 10C cooling under load over stock. And no discernible noise (coupled with an Antec Sonata and a Seagate drive).
And the blue LEDs are really cool! At least my SATA cables think so, being that they're only ones ever to see them...
Let's combine the wiki with an infinite number of typing monkeys. Eventually one of them will type up a LaTeX file that the STOC or FOCS conference reviewers would accept as a solution finally disproving P=?NP.
But it does in Irvine, which is where the crime has occurred. I second the suggestion. Call the FBI. Send 'em an email. The worst that could happen is that Denmark puts you on an Execujet rendition flight to Egypt for months of torture. [Yes, I know that was Sweden...]
By the way, are you sure this whole thing isn't some sort of retribution from the Muslim world for that whole Mohammed caricatures thing in JP?
For every CEO with exotic mansions and million dollar interns, there are thousands who are not taking a paycheck, kicking in their own capital, working 80+ hour weeks, etc.
the Minnesota CIO will be required to enforce a law requiring the use of open formats, rather than be forced to justify his or her authority to do so.
No, he or she will now be forced to justify his or her authority to NOT do so, i.e. (s)he'll have to make up some excuse to just keep on microsoftin'...
No. "Eating your own dog food" is a shopworn expression about the expectation to actually use the products or services you are trying to sell to others. The parent post was obviously having a little fun with it. As in, Balmer wants to show how much he likes his company, so his kids are stuck eating dog food.
Yes, I am aware of the expression--I was just taking it a bit farther, likening the act to another worn-out expression: "Drinking the kool-aid".
As it stands now he's shot himself in the foot because he went behind everyones back and secretly had someone else examine the machines.
Behind everyone's back? He the county clerk--it's his job to certify elections!
And if he be reading this, I urge him DO NOT RESIGN! Resigning solves nothing, and would be interpreted by democracy's enemies (read: Diebold, et al) as an admittance of guilt...
It's funny how arrogance and bitterness go so frequently hand-in-hand.
Theo goes around (as seen in these pages) lambasting Linux for basically being popular and successful, and then laments how his "far superior" OS is not as highly regarded. (Compare this to the utterly humble Linus Torvalds.) Now there is the implied threat that if others (read: Linux companies) don't cough up the dough, he's going to yank OpenSSH away from us. He seems like quite a bitter man...
Most things, even in computers, are not naturally powers of two. Such as disk capacities.
Au contraire, mon frère... Most things in computers ARE involving powers of two, especially disk capacities. Specifically, they are multiples of powers of two, or directly powers of two themselves. In the celebrated case of the hard drive, the sector size (the smallest division of the disk) is usually 512 or 2048 (2^9 or 2^11). My so-called 160 gigabyte hard drive really stores 160041885696 bytes, which is a multiple of 512, it's sector size. It's really a 149+ gigabyte drive, but hey, who wants a 149 gig drive when you can get a 160 gig'er for the exact same price? (for the exact same drive...)
Seems to me what is lacking here is IAC arguing before the court what specific contents should be on the computer which were destroyed, without authorisation, thus doing harm to the company.
Exactly! The 7th Circuit has merely stated that the action could be a violation of the act--something to be determined at a trial. They haven't convicted anybody or even claimed that a law was broken, only that the alleged act is conceivably a violation.
the exact number in common practice could be either one of the following:
1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes -- 1000^5, or 10^15.
1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes -- 1024^5, or 2^50.
Real geeks use powers of two; powers of ten we're only introduced for marketing purposes, which real geeks eschew.

Huh?
You can't buy new TDMA service anymore, and GSM is the only option for new service on T-Mobile, Cingular. Yes, only a couple--two of the biggest nationals, due to mergers/buy-outs, but actually it's quite a few more.
And "alien frequency"? Who cares? It's not exactly very difficult to make 1900 (or 850 as also used in the US) when you already have 900/1800...

I already sort my incoming email, by many categories. What purpose is there to having two classifications: "important" and "other"?
