I'm typing this on a 500mhz p3 because running my athlonXP heats my room up by a good 5 degrees fahrenheit. Dual monitors don't help of course, but the athlonXP put out 70watts, and thats just the chip, factor in the motherboard and videocard and you're looking at a 200 watt space heater. Great in the winter, horrible in the summer in Texas. Power efficency is going to become an ever bigger problem with modern chips.
You know that would be great if comcast ran decent mail servers. But they don't. Mail messages to certain domains take hours to deliver. On top of this they also have the habit of being added to realtime blackhole lists because their servers are sending spam, so without my own backup server, I'd be SOL. But yes, comcast does need to stop this problem, because several domains, like hotmail and aol already block mail from comcast customers ip's because of this. But blocking everyone's port is not a valid solution, as lots of people run perfectly reasonable private use servers that aren't spam relays. And while this maybe against the TOS, the TOS is mostly related to people running commercial servers off of their service, comcast doesn't really care if you are doing things for personal use. I'm paying for access to the internet, I don't want my ISP telling me which parts of the internet are OK to use and which aren't.
Are you trolling? I have a radeon 9700 and have none of these problems. Did you try installing a new driver? Support is worthless if you don't actually install the new drivers. If you read any reviews, it's nvidia with image quality problems in games not Ati. And since you obviously didn't RTFA, or any recent hardware reviews, cards are benchmarked using real games, and Ati still slaughters nvidia.
Why do people continually compare Debian Stable to bleeding edge Linux distros? If you want bleeding edge use Debian Unstable, that's what it's there for. In anycase 2.4 is not "years behind." There is nothing stopping you from using bleeding edge software and proprietary software with Debian, I do it all the time, they just seperate out the nonfree stuff for the people who care about that. It really is a "feature" not a "bug."
Businesses use Redhat because they offer commerical support, something I don't believe Debian offers, as Debian is not a commercial enterprise.
As one employer said to me when I was starting at University (physics, before you ask) it's easier to teach a thinker to program a computer than it is to teach a computer programmer to think.
That's probably why most (good) C.S. programs don't teach programming much beyond the first year. C.S. degrees are basically specialized math degrees, and much of the program revolves around problem solving and critical thinking, not programming.

This is a reference to Douglas Adam's HHGTTG, so maybe it should be "funny," not "flaimbait." Though the reference is poor.
"Curiously enough, an edition of the encyclopedia Galactica that had the
good fortune to fall through a time warp from a thousand years in the future
defined the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as "a
bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution
came."
Um considering this has only to do with windows drivers I don't see how this matters. You can still watch DVD's in linux and put them on a TV with Nvidia. Try doing that with an ATI card with free drivers, it is in most cases impossible because ati non-binary drivers don't support tv-out.
Not sure what Mythtv you used, but Mythtv has video preview in the Channel Guide. link
The file names are only used by Mythtv internally. If you have need to use them outside there are several scripts to rename them based on the database. mythname.pl for example. There is also nuvexport.
MythTV's conflict resolution is also quite smart, though perhaps somewhat complex.
But yes, MythTV is still in development, so if you're considering commercial software it probably isn't for you.
As Issac, the Mythtv maitainer, has stated many times, he has little interest in ruining companies, or indeed increasing mythTV use. He's interested in developing it for his own use, and if other people have useful stuff to add then all the better.
Mythtv is better, but it is also very hard to use, and there is a very good reason for that, it is still in development. Isaac and the rest of the mythtv guys are interested in people using it and providing useful feedback and bug reports, but they have very little interest in people being unable to figure it out and then saying "This software needs to be easier to use."
There is however work being done on windows frontends, however the backend will never be ported, as there is no point, and it would involve a complete rewrite.
You have absolutely no clue whatsoever how much energy would be required for such space travel, because in real life there is neither any theory nor any experiment that covers faster-than-light travel.
Not all their travel is FTL travel so your argument isn't entirely correct. I never mentioned FTL, but just getting into and around space requires tremendous amounts of energy.
Even though if you just look around on Earth, you can find societies that still use rocks and pointed sticks?
Yes, and last time I checked these same people aren't driving cars. I have no problem with projectile weapons, but in the series they use projectile weapons that are considered old by today's standards, while at the same time flying spaceships.
How is this offtopic? Maybe redundant, but he does have a valid point. This whole thread is nothing but cheerleading, with every post that says anything good about the series getting an automatic insightful mod. Sure Wheadon is a talented writer, but this show had some serious issues with realism. Wheadon seems to not understand the enormous amounts of energy required for space travel, and moving livestock around is just not going to pay for it. And ancient projectile weapons? I'm sorry, my suspension of disbelief only goes so far. Buffy was at least fantasy, but to have this kind of stuff in sci-fi is just a misuse of the genre. Star Wars is a good space western, this series just takes the term far too literally.
Parent is a troll with no useful information, someone mod it down. Seeing as lightning discharges 10 to 100 million volts, http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=801459, I fail to see how resisting 12 thousand would help, and that is considering this "material" even exists, which considering the lack of details, it probably doesn't.
Preferences -> homepage -> checkbox next to pudge under exclude authors. Of course this also would mark all future posts by him as a troll as well and you'd never see them. But you know what they say, once a troll, always a troll. Obviously I haven't done this but the option is there.
And for this 'postage' solution to work, the money comes in the form of digital signatures anyway, so your argument about very serious system being needed applies there as well. Spammers are unlikely to start signing spams because
a) their cert would be revoked
b) signing takes a decent amount of processing time, which for 25 million emails would pose a decent delay.
The biggest problem digital signatures face is webmail, but if MS and Yahoo started signing their users mail that would take care of the two biggest and the rest would probably follow. Since MS is a Root CA this wouldn't be that difficult for them todo.

"a" is 5GHz, while "g" is 2.4Ghz, so what you said is quite impossible. And "h" is just spectrum managed "a".

Office 2003 is out, and does not even install in Crossover or Wine. link

You've obviously never heard of the Mac for mac Lovers. . .
His name is Robert "Robby" Todino.
Wired did an article about him, available here.

1. Know something about wine. All men. ALL MEN should know about wine. At least understand the types of wine and how to evaluate a wine's flavor.

Or better yet, have parents who own a small winery and be able to show her how wine is made. .

This will also work for Mozilla and Mozilla Thunderbird mail clients. Or Outlook and Outlook Express for that matter.
