What's amazing is how they are able to continuously increase the physical density at a rate that exceeds (= faster) than Moore's law. It will be interesting to see what happens to reliability figures.
Since when has Moore's law anything to do with compact flash cards?
WHY OF WHY? I don't want the coolest lightsabre fight ever to take place surfing on lava. I want it to take place in a very sterile evironment where there are only two people, two lightsabres and the finest lightsabre techniques of the galaxy.
AMD doesn't even have a processor that fast available afaik. They are probably talking about a processor rated at "2500" (i.e. 1.8-2.0 ghz depending on cache-size).
from the link: The Swedish Government has ordered two YS 2000 stealth surface effect ships. Sweden is planning the first all-stealth navy by commissioning up to 28 stealth ships over the next 15 years.
I'm swedish and I find that HIGHLY unlikely. Military funds have cut back alot lately. There's no way in hell we will have 28 stealth ships in 6 in years.
Of course, were they to deny access to SP2 to those with copyright infringing copies, those using them might migrate to OSS. Or Microsoft might even be sued for having allowed infected machines to exist, when they had the means to patch them.
I don't know what you are smoking but dude, not being able to patch their system will not make them migrate. People don't care about patching their systems as it is. Look at Sasser, a patch was out but people didn't bother downloading it. The only thing that will make people migrate to OSS is if it was ABSOLUTELY impossible to use a pirated version of Windows.
I completely agree. Windows 2k/XP, and in the future, longhorn, is firefox's most important platform. If people start using open source software on windows and see for themselves that it is as good or better than anything else, the jump to linux wouldn't be as significant. If people didn't have to learn new programs even Joe Sixpack could make the switch. Firefox, especially, since it's such a great browser, is the perfect program to promote open source and linux as a viable alternative.
Afterall, if a team ends up finishing late or beaten by another team finishing before them... they'll still have a working reusable orbital spacecraft. That's gotta be useful for something.
Yes definitely. I'm going to use mine to escape earth when the RIAA cracks down on me and travel to one of those rogue travel outposts they have in the movies... or something.
Yes, AMD's chips have a lower MAXIMUM than Intel, but AMD has a problem, when their CPUs are idle, they still use up just as much power, and put out just as much heat. This is because a HALT won't do anything on an AMD (not without the FSB hack).
This is complete bs. My Barton 2500+ is at 48C/61C idle/full load.
Janus was also the Russian mafia crime boss in the James Bond movie Goldeneye who **** SPOIILER ALERT *** turned out to be 006.
Damn man, that's weak karma whoring;) I'll give it a try. Janus is also the Roman God of gates, doors, beginnings, endings and doorways.

You are going to college and you want a gaming laptop? For what purpose? You can buy a desktop system that kills any laptop for $1500. You then have $2500+ left compared to a gaming laptop to spend on a "basic" laptop to type documents on.
This generation seems to like their music that way, and according to one of the authorities in the article, it's because they are likely 'brain damaged' and have lower attention spans.
I'm 20 and don't shuffle. Albums are supposed to be listened to from start to finish.
Do these announcements of security patches not alert hackers and virus authors to capitalize on them? It's alerting criminals to the exact vulnerabilities.
Well... at the time a patch is issued the vulnerability has probably been known in the security community for a long time.
The fact that people don't download the patches isn't exactely Microsoft's fault. Some people are just stupid and/or ignorant. I'm beginning to think that windows update should be a service that you are unable to turn off. Sure, people would scream about their freedom but I sure as hell wouldn't complain if it got rid of all worms I'm attacked by daily.
Why would I want that? I type faster on a keyboard than by hand and I navigate through a gui fast enough with a mouse and/or keyboard commands. Input speed has never been an issue imho, what takes time is deciding what should be inputted.

Are you talking about the XP-Theme or the classic theme? The classic windows theme is amazing imho. Very clean and very crisp.

If you just want it to work, grab * 2.4.26 and be happy (it has forcedeth 0.25 already in) * 2.6.5 and be happy (it has forcedeth 0.25 already in)
It's very possible to run XP unpatched. As long as you have a decent software firewall with inbound protection you're immune to all the worms.

People of Slashdot: I strongly advice against watching The Rocketeer in the near future.
FIIIIIIINALLY!!!!!!!!
Thanks for not saying "obligatory futurama reference.." or something simliar. This way it feels so much better getting it.
The system with the best games will win.
Well, you have to ask yourself some questions
Does it have a 'probe'?
Does it have a connector for input devices?
Imho, determining the sex sounds quite easy.
Yes definitely. I'm going to use mine to escape earth when the RIAA cracks down on me and travel to one of those rogue travel outposts they have in the movies... or something.

Those are on my playlist at the moment. There's no reason to listen to crap artists that make crap albums.
