I happened to like netscreen's service. I hope Juniper doesn't screw it up for them. I hate to see solid tech killed by an aquiring company in the name of "progress"
compete with Juniper? Since Juniper got Netscreen, they look like a nice player to compete with Cisco. We'll see if this is a three horse race, but I like what Juniper's doing. Their SSL VPN appliance is also very sweet.
easy, they know something you don't know. Mhz is just frequency and not speed. Marketing aside (which is what intel's overinflated mhz rating comparative to actual performance), the AMD K7 and K8 series CPUs do a lot more per clock cycle so a lower clocked chip competes with intel's higher clocked chips. This is much the same way that the Pentium M (Banias/Dothan) compete favorably to the Pentium 4. A 1.8Ghz Pentium M beats the 2.8Ghz P4 down.
put down the crack pipe. AMD's first megafab was in texas at Austin. They now have a larger megafab in Dresden, Germany with one larger one as an add on to the same facility. IBM employees stateside help AMD with their research and technology. Intel has Fabs in Ireland, etc all over the world. The base corporation being in the US means nothing as to where the chips are fabricated. Intel also packages the chips in costa rica and asian facilities. Your argument makes no sense.
but the word virii is still made up and incorrect, regardless of what Bullshit that Ken "Caesar" Fisher says on arstechnica, it isn't neoclassical.
Viruses is the correct pluralization. If they wanted them to be different words, they would have made them different.
Her real name is Elizabeth Heller, from U of Wisconson (Madison campus) She made those videos for her boyfriend but cheated on him at a party. He found out and had all the videos put up on P2P sites. She's a cute chick, but cheaters deserve what they get.
Last I heard she was living in CT.
Much like other expanses of land that go on for thousands of miles, there are seasons, and with that comes periods of cold and periods of warmth. Russia is not hot nor cold all the time in its entirety.
riiight. x86 is not 8 bit, I am not going to explain further to you until you pay me my hourly fee for instruction. I charge $80 an hour for instruction normally, but for you, I would probably have to double that. Consultations run upwards of $100/hr depending on what I am talking to you about. Try and think this over and come back to me about where you are truly deficient and I will work something out for you.
You may want to follow up a bit more with intel lately. Their latest chipset has issues with PCI express. They have horrible heat issues with their latest production. They are not intel of old. Intel screws stuff up and you can't simply rely on an intel chipset being the great 440BX every time. Sometimes it ends up as a CC820.
I had an Athlon 650Mhz machine as a my bench test machine back in 2000. the fan on it died about a week before I noticed and it ran just bloody fine. The heatsink was hotter than a pornstar on spanish fly, but the machine ran fine.
Try harder next time. The Itanium class CPUs are not "RISC" they are "EPIC" and not blindly compatible with other RISC CPUs nor x86. They can emulate x86, but have crap performance doing so.
Other than that, the Intel EM64T chips are a hack for extra memory addressing; and not a good one at that. AMD64 chips have 40 bit memory addressing (should be more than enough for the time being) while intel's stuff is 36 bit. Redhat had to make a hack to their kernel (others followed) that basically made points in memory pointers to higher address space so that it could use more memory. This POS is a kludge and doesn't have the enhancements that K8 series chips have. Intel slapped on 64bit addressing space but their CPUs don't perform better aside from having the extra memory. AMD at least made inroads with HPT and an on die memory controller.
except that AMD64 has 40 bit memory addressing while the EM64T shite has 36bit memory addressing. Read the stuff Redhat had to do to make it work with their kernel. Intel kludged this one.
dependws on the tape, the number of drives available to it and things like direct attached vs network or fibre connected tape drives. Our LTO2 Library with 3 drives on Fibre can sure as hell burn data to a machine pretty quickly. about 40MB/sec avg transfer sustained.
most good fireproof "MEDIA" safe boxes are designed with just this in mind. The cheap document safes are not. They are there to prevent temps reaching over 400F as to not have the documents combust at those temps. A media safe will be able to let the internal temp stay at below 90F for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. If the fire is not out by then, you have bigger problems than melted tapes. You also should think about offsite storeage as a secondary measure.
And if driven carefully are just fine. You mentioned driving on your motorcycle. How does it feel to have your ride pidgeonholed into the area of dickheads who drive between lanes and weave in and out of traffic begging to be organ donors? You are all emotion and no fact. SUVs are heavy, so are large cars. The problem lies in poor driver ability. As for fuel economy, I have stated and restated that the problem with that lies with the auto industry. They need alternate fuels and they need them now. Now piss off until you find a real argument that means something to anybody but yourself.
How about you try a cogent argument based on fact instead of hyperbole? A Yugo can kill your family in a split second. A Lincoln or Caddy driven by an old person who should have had their license revoked years ago because they can't focus or see straight can do it. You are condemning something based solely on the might be. Cars are not safe, period. You take a chance every time you drive. An SUV is hardly a big rig. It has fewer axles and does not act the same way when turning nor when backing up. You have no factual basis to back your arguments
um.......yeah. My fiancee owns a civic. No go there dude. I can park it, after that the cramping starts. You don't have to like what I drive but it is not an uber-pollution machine. Like I said, people bitch about SUVs, but you don't hear as much about lincolns and other luxury cars with 4L or larger engines in them. Everybody hears SUV and automatically gets this impression of a suburban in their heads. No research + bias = people without a clue.
You are 5'10 and fit fine. I am 6'2 and 230Lbs with large feet and bad knees. Some car floorboards are worthless to me as I cannot fit comfortably in them at all. 5'10 is not a big guy. By the way, minivans are not nearly as well geared for ground clearance, hauling things behind them, nor are they exceptional when it comes to gas mileage. Honda's Minivan gets 18/25. The SUV (mini-ute) I am looking at gets 21/24 and is AWD. This is not to defend myself, but to defend others from people (and not talking about you) who would say that people do not need certain things without knowing anything about them.
You put that at the end as though it were some tiny fractional minority. Do not pretend that you came in impartial. There are a lot who do not need a big car and there are a lot that do. I have been car shopping for a while and while I would love gas mileage over 30mpg even on the highway, it is just nearly impossible to find a comfortable car that I feel safe in. It is not about being hit by an SUV, it is about not wanting my body to be bent into a pretzel and THEN hit by anything or have me hit anything. The problem is only partly due to the people buying these large beasts. The problem lies with the oil industry and the administration's disinterest in alternate fuel. It lies in the auto industry not caring as much about fuel economy until a crisis like inflated gas prices occurs. Their answer is to increase prices on fuel efficient cars because demand increases and to offer discounts on the guzzlers. They need to have cars that offer better economy NOW. Electric cars were supposed to be that answer. They burned nothing so they were cleaner, however too much electricity is made by burning coal. People need to think these things through
Or they may actually have a need for one. It is not only idiotic, but also hypocritical to say that nobody needs an SUV ever. Sure, there are some pretty worthless cars on the road, but try and squeeze 5 200+lb guys into a prius and see how comfy they are. This is the same forum that says that they should have the right to watch their DVDs on whatever they want, have the right to do as they please with their own stuff (even people who buy dual Xeons servers when they mostly post on slashdot and watch porn, which is a total waste of electricity) so cut people some slack. I am looking at an SUV, but fuel economy was a big driving force. The one I am getting is going to get better mileage than the car I am trading in for it. It is not great, but if you have a problem with that, don't buy one and demand that auto makers are more socially aware and put money into alternate fuel development like hydrogen fuel cells.
Similar story. I went from CS to HIST and got out a lot faster and got a job paying well while my friends from CS are not doing so hot. Skills pay bills. Degrees are not everything
No, I mean the source code without an NDA. I occasionally talk to a developer with the Linux BIOS group and he is the actual person who has been trying to get that information. I don't believe he has gotten it. One would hope they would love to have more people able to use their CPUs, but they want the control more.

Clerks had songs from recognized bands in it. Alice in Chains is one of them. They could not have just had a soundtrack made for them, could they
You are adding an N to a word that does not have one. Petabyte is correct. It has nothing to do with the Pentium or anything Pent
