Does anyone know if its legal or not to publish a book on cannibalism and necrophilia with the same kind of content the web sites are showing??? In the UK and/or the US??? I know there are different laws in the different countries.
If you can publish a book or other writing on it then I wouldn't see a problem with it on the net.
I really hope this catches on so others such as ameritech follow suit. I know many people without a land line and don't want to put one in for dsl. So they go with cable.
ALthough I don't know which is the less of 2 evils... the comcasts or the ameritechs.
"...I search for me (Sam Smith), I show up 4th on Google, but 51st on Yahoo."
I did a search for myself in yahoo and google and I came up 9th on yahoo and 19th in google. Yahoo was more accurate even if by a little for me. Interestingly though is that the page that Yahoo found was a much more obscure page for a project I worked on 3 years ago. The same page the google found at 19, yahoo found at 20.
Imagine Baywatch in 3D. I would have to take the day off when they had a marathon. I wouldn't be able to get off the couch. Although I'd ahve to sit a distance from the TV. Otherwise I would be dodging 3D "objects" the whole time.
People "hack" cars all the time. To make the fast, stronger and "better" than they were before. Like there is a neat little "hack" you can by to make a full size pickup do a quarter mile in like 12 seconds (fast for an a stock engine). It's an engine computer "hack"
You really don't have a clue to the real advantages of 64bit. And your normal everyday use there are no advantages. And yes it can make a system faster depending on what the system is doing. If you are doig rendering or simulating a massive engineering design it is several times faster jsut having the 64bit. Say in cadence you simulate a chip on a 32 bit chip vs a 64 bit chip. The 64bit chip will be several times faster and more accurate because of the math at 64bit numbers.
"Please attempt to explain to us PC lusers why 64-bit processors are faster at rendering or Matlab than 32-bit ones. I could use a good laugh today."
If you don't know already than you probubally don't know much about it. But it's the addressing on the memory and the size of the number the math can be done on. Instead of a 32bit number it can do math with 64 bit numbers. Much larger numbers. On a 32 bit processor if it has to take a number larger than 32 bit and do computations on it then the number has to be broken up into parts and math done on them. This is several steps and takes longer to do.
Chip designers, Electrical System designers, etc use 64 bit systems to do their work on. And they are truely faster.
From a performance as you can see point..something rendered on a dual processor G4 for 4 hours might take 20-30 minutes on a dual processor G5.
Is your tower a 64bit?? Are we talking benchmarks like rendering where the 64bit really makes the difference??? What benchmarks?? The G5 makes it's biggest impact in the high end math areas like rendering, or for Engineering guys in Matlab, or other high end design tools. That's where it's plus side and killer performance is. That's why video guys like it so much. Not for how fast the web browser loads.
The G5 will prolly wait a little longer to be in a laptop as the heat and power issue. I am sure they will get that down with the new power management in the G5 but it might take a bit.
I could play solitare in meetings and the people around me would think I was actually working but wouldn't be able to get a look at the screen to see what I was really doing.
Don't forget about the whole problem of if you cancel Napster you loose all the music you downloaded after a little while. I would consider that to be a big problem that iTMS doesn't have.
If you are anti FBI getting customers info it could take days. If they didn't loose it permanently first. I can see it now...an admin saying, "OOPS, I slipped and hit the delete key. Sorry the information was just permanently deleted"
I wonder if CIT was destroying the information on their network while the FBI waited. Then the only alternative could have been to take the equipment so the admins didn't destroy more. I could see that happening if the admins were anti-government-getting-customers-information people.
Doesn't this tech us.... you always need to have backups. I mean most hard drives will go for years but you never know when your stuff will just be gone.

The patent office gets the same amount of money whether they approve or don't approve a patent.
Actually a news story on this happening might not be a bad idea. I am quite suprised I havn't read or herd anything on it yet.

Just imagine the 3D porn.

Does M$ xbox count? Of course there are a lod of people hacking that

Maybe apple just needs better battery technology first. It usually takes quite a bit of time for apples advances to show up in the compedators anyway.

"The next powerbook (and maybe powermac!) will almost surely be water cooled."
Water cool a laptop??? That would make it very heavy. the Piping, pump and water itself would add pounds to the weight of the laptop.

Motorola is out on the PPC processors. They lost that gig and IBM does it all now. Motorola just isn't producing right now.
I ask about qmail because so amny people use the taoster here that matt simerson created. Or would it just be another patch me automatically applies.
So, is qmail getting in on this solution????

The porn on it would be so small I would have eye sore from squinting all the time. I'll pass.

/.ed to be taken down???
Are you saying they need to be
