it would help the current situation imho. so when are they going to revive the saber tooth tiger and the giant bear that kept the american indians out before the end of the last ice age?
it's the same with half life two it was not a game but a tech demo to intrest other companys to use both their source engine and steam(ing pile of drm spyware crap)
more then likely the tpm will automaticly delete the text file your book is in and put said file on a black list so you cannot recover it from a backup and that other computers will delete the file if they find it. but don't worry too much, chances are the big energy crisis coming up will put a halt to tpm/tcpa.
There is a Differnce
intel only has two differnt sockets out at the moment for their desktop market.
socket 478 and socket T(775)
socket 478 has already been officaly discontinued by intel though two major motherboard manufactures still produce motherboards with it(foxconn and ecs)for the moment but they are going to drop those lines very soon.
on the other hand amd with the introduction of this new socket will have a total of 4(754, 939, 940, and M2)differnt sockets out still being made with their respective cpu's.
Confuseing your customer is the best way to drive them to their compitetion.
ps: i did not mention socketA(462) because amd stoped making the cpus in june and by the end of this month most motherboard manufactures will have stoped making socket A motherboards. the ones you can get now are the channel buffer stock they make to counter shortfalls in production.
is this news? all i see is a grown person crying like a baby because he got exactly what he deserved. if you use a poorly supported peice of hardware you will get very bad results, no matter what operating system you use. i have seen windows xp bitch and moan on SiS chipsets. i have heard horror storys of macs that come right of the box with half the hardware non-functioning because os-x doesn't support them(e.x. power books that can't use the dvd drive cause os-x doesn't support it)
*sighs* when will people learn that forest fires are natural and should not be stoped unless lives(normal not financail) are at stake. yea i know some are caused by careless people, either by carelessly smoking or not properly managing a camp fire. some are even started on purpose, but that doesn't change the fact that forest fires are part of the natural cycle of life and death in the forest. the trees that are killed in the fire not only make room for new tree's they also enrich the soil.
hmm very good post. but you might want to check the tcpa specs on the tcpa website. it does have the ability to prevent you from booting a os. to sign a os kernel so it can be booted from you need your key(the only one you will freely have) the master key of the system(you have no idea what it is, only the company that makes the motherboard has this as well as a major software company) and optionally(depending on the manufacturer) a certificate. though i will bet you cash right now that;
1. the optional certificate will be required to boot a operating system on 9 out of 10 motherboards with this.
and
2. that the certificate will cost 3 to 4 figures to get per motherboard model(though certain discounts will apply if you are a certain large software company).
actually tell dell to stop using foxconn motherboards first. that should get rid of some if not all of the odd problems. some off of my head problems foxconn's experience. they will hang or freeze upon booting if the hard drives are set to anything other the cs(cable select). they will hang upon exiting the bios after changing something. they will get windows to be stuck in the infinite reboot sequence.
ok i admit i am worng, i am a civilized human being. though you do not need to fling insults at me like your last line, i have been civil during this discussion.
may i ask why you need that amount of ram to begin with other then just to have it? i find even a gig of ram too much in most cases except when your runing a virtual pc or somthing similar.
personal experience mostly. i have installed xp home on lots of machines and none of them saw memory over 1 gig even though the motherboard does. xp pro though is limited at 4 gig's. even though xp home is a ok version of windows they did limit allot of the stuff in it compared to pro because "home users don't need that." so out went domain log-ins and some of the other advanced networking stuff. support for multiple cpus(hyper threading doesn't count in this). some of the better administration tools that could of been used to lock down the machine without third party programs(surprise surprise). and of course the 1 gig ram limit(thats physical ram not swap space + physical ram which is probably what they advertise.)
there is a differnce between xp and win2k. in xp they started using limitations on ram. in 2k they only limited the number of cpu's you could use. in xp home your limited to 1 gig of ram and one cpu, pro your limited to 2 cpus and i think 4 gig's of ram.
heh and i bet anything below the 'Small Business Edition' won't support 2 gigs of ram. basicly i see them doing this. starter: 512mb of ram max home & media center: 1gb max professional: 1.5gb max Small Business Edition: 2gb max

it should be useful for all the counter strike clones also racing and other sports games should be able to use this. anyway if this is over $100 i would not be able to justify buying yet another add in card that i will only rarely use. though it will most likely be put onto a video card as a co-processor
that and leaving this part of the cpu in the hands of the programer will basicly make it a pain to program for sence they will need to put into their code stuff that has been in normal cpu's.
in other words we will see crashs that will make a bsod pale.
ibm is a company who's sole intrest is making money. they only support linux cause they see some money involved. as for this, they will support it cause they can make even more money with vendor lock in.
you can run linux....though only the ones signed with ibm's keys.
Apple's a nice company. They're the "good guys." Honest to God, it sounds stupid, and I know I must sound rather fanboyish, but if you think of the company as a person, he/she has common sense when it comes to product returns, warranties and customer service. I don't think Apple hires assholes.*
worng. companys are neither good nor evil they are only interested in making money and doing it within one inch of breaking the law.

umm say bye bye to the whole world as we know it. the last super volcano to eurpt, toba, almost wiped us out.
umm shouldn't any kind of root kit that effects *bsd's effect mac osx since it is basicly bsd with a diabetic induceing window manager?
it would help the current situation imho.
so when are they going to revive the saber tooth tiger and the giant bear that kept the american indians out before the end of the last ice age?

i said desktop sockets.
as for voltages, it is only confuseing when they don't document or openly print the differnces.

amd is going to kill them selfs if they continue to play musical sokect's.
is this news?

to sign a os kernel so it can be booted from you need your key(the only one you will freely have)
the master key of the system(you have no idea what it is, only the company that makes the motherboard has this as well as a major software company)
and optionally(depending on the manufacturer) a certificate.

yea but doom 3 and other games could benifet more from more ram on the video card then system ram.
actually tell dell to stop using foxconn motherboards first. that should get rid of some if not all of the odd problems.
some off of my head problems foxconn's experience.
they will hang or freeze upon booting if the hard drives are set to anything other the cs(cable select).
they will hang upon exiting the bios after changing something.
they will get windows to be stuck in the infinite reboot sequence.
then why do all lcd manufacturers still have a 'no return or refund for less then 8 dead pixels' policy?
ok i admit i am worng, i am a civilized human being. though you do not need to fling insults at me like your last line, i have been civil during this discussion.
may i ask why you need that amount of ram to begin with other then just to have it? i find even a gig of ram too much in most cases except when your runing a virtual pc or somthing similar.
personal experience mostly. i have installed xp home on lots of machines and none of them saw memory over 1 gig even though the motherboard does.
xp pro though is limited at 4 gig's.
even though xp home is a ok version of windows they did limit allot of the stuff in it compared to pro because "home users don't need that." so out went domain log-ins and some of the other advanced networking stuff. support for multiple cpus(hyper threading doesn't count in this). some of the better administration tools that could of been used to lock down the machine without third party programs(surprise surprise). and of course the 1 gig ram limit(thats physical ram not swap space + physical ram which is probably what they advertise.)
there is a differnce between xp and win2k.
in xp they started using limitations on ram.
in 2k they only limited the number of cpu's you could use.
in xp home your limited to 1 gig of ram and one cpu, pro your limited to 2 cpus and i think 4 gig's of ram.
'we're going to need 2 gigs of RAM minimum. =/'
heh and i bet anything below the 'Small Business Edition' won't support 2 gigs of ram. basicly i see them doing this.
starter: 512mb of ram max
home & media center: 1gb max
professional: 1.5gb max
Small Business Edition: 2gb max

the most inovation i have seen for nintendo's ds is a dateing sim that allows you to use the touch screen to touch *ahem* certian parts of person.
ibm is a company who's sole intrest is making money. they only support linux cause they see some money involved. as for this, they will support it cause they can make even more money with vendor lock in. you can run linux....though only the ones signed with ibm's keys.
