I have a dual-core P4, and I still very occasionally see high utilization when doing relatively simple tasks. The culprit? The McAfee virus scan software provided by my school. I think when really big series of writes are done to the HD it spikes CPU utilization as it scans those files.
Also, you will eventually need your 12 core processor to do your virus scanning + MS DRM (en/de)cryption + (RI/MP)AA file scanner + firewall + work related to your pretty MS UI ripped from OS X.
Actually, one of the characters is going to die this episode. That much has been confirmed by the author already (there have been guesses, but no one is really sure who yet. There is some foreshadowing that would suggest Ron, but we'll have to wait and see).
Example: Talking between skype users is free. One of the permanent staff at my university I work with talked to her husband while he was on business for about a month with skype. They would spend over 3 hours per day talking, and they got to do that FOR FREE. And she's a non-techie to boot.
The professor goes into a bookstore and picks the most expensive textbook on the shelf, and dealing with the on-campus bookstore just adds salt onto the wounds.

eBay Begins A Change

I don't have a link right off hand, but I read this story yesterday off Goggle News and part of the announcement is that they are removing whatever fee increase that happened recently. I beleive it had something to do with a seller fee that was actually causing some auctions to COST money. So while what you say might be true (they could easily distribute that cost elsewhere) that is at least one area I do not think they will touch for awhile.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the article stated it would work something like the iTunes sharing, which is over a local network. I personally think its an awesome idea to see what someone else has, and for well known people to publish their own catalogues (I think there is third party software to publish this in HTML format now).
Nice backpack that I use to protect my books and/or notebooks (paper that is) as well [http://www.ems.com/products/product_detail.jsp?PR ODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442585619&FOLDER%3C%3Efold er_id=2534374302847025&fromTemplate=navigation%2Fs ubcategory.jsp&bmUID=1097458853101].
And it just dropped $30 to boot.

How to Podcast

· Score: 1
(Don't hold me to this for 100% accuracy) I believe Adam Curry, one of the main drivers behind the concept of podcasting, has a friend who is in talks with the BBC about posting some of their archived stuff (which leads to more opportunities later) through podcasting. So no, this is not the best way to get live up to the minute, national publication stuff now. However, what about in a year, two , or three? Leo from TechTV is starting to pocast his radio show. One of the other benefits of this is the time shifting element. You can listen to your broadcast when YOU want to.

SpamAssassin 3.0 Released
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Well, though there may be a large amount of spam, doesn't like 90% of it get sent by the top 10% of spammers, or something to the same effect? If you could whack off a couple of the top guys...
I just went to that link, and I noticed in the top right corner it said "Welcome Rochester Institute of Technology" (my univ). Umm... wow. If I understand this right, RIT pays for this service so I do not have to buy a book from them if I'm willing to forgo the benefits of the dead-tree version. I wonder how many other univ's have deal like this (and students who dont know about it) ?
I would like to know the benefits this sort of bandwith testing brings about. Does it help determine bottlenecks in current technologies? Help determine roadmaps for future techs? Or is this just some testosterone releasing between researchers?:)
In some way, this is good advice. If you are submissive (and a dick lives on your dorm floor) there is a chance you will receive some flak of good old frat-boy goodness. Be social, don't take shit, and you'll do well.
Who sits in the company and makes the decisions about this product? Could they possibly hold one of these in their hands, use it on a day to day basis, and say its an ipod killer? Quit listening to the marketing execs for christ sake!
I go to RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) and we seem to have a pretty diverse set of machines as far as school owned goes. Most of the CS machines are Sun Solaris, SE had Sun and PC, and IT has Mac and PC. I think our science building has at least one mac lab, and alot of the computers in the art building are macs too. So it really depends on where you go.
While I say it absolutely sucks that such an interesting and unique artform is be scrutinized like it is by the Leeds police, they do have a point IF he is breaking the laws concerning advertisment. But calling his artwork "pure vandalism" when it is in fact done by the process of CLEANING DIRTY @#@$% WALLS IN THE FIRST PLACE... thats just lame.
What happens when a virus propagates that white lists the spammers? While every technology that rises for this problem will have some kind of solution, they will also have some kind of weakness.
Though, my hats off to whoever makes a overall good solution.

As far as DVDs go, what about the new blue-ray dics coming out? I thought ~.5TB was possible per single sided, dual-layered disc.
What happens if one of these are compromised? Does some thief suddenly have access to " restricted government data" on most of the population?
