I mean, wouldn't a plain old Kodak Polaroid do this? Flat face, bumpy face. Click/flash, wait one minute. Viola! a 2D visual reproduction of both 2D and 3D.
It's the instruction set. It originally didn't use x86 (I have not kept up to know otherwise).
It is actually a VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) chip instead of CISC. Yup, it's a RISC chip but don't say that to Intel! It takes RISC instructions and strings them together to make a VLIW.
That's why when vendors wanted to go 64bit they went with AMD chips, no porting. It can run 32bit and 64bit and it does it in x86 chip talk.
So if you go with Itanium; 1: replace x86 boxen with Itanium boxen. 2: rewrite all your stuff for Itanium 3: your boxen do nothing until step 2 is complete. 4: ??? 5:Profit!!
or you go with AMD Opterons; 1: replace/upgrade boxen with Opterons 2: keep running what you have while all your SW is updated to 64bits. 3:Profit!!
I recently use Knoppix which has KDE. Well the transparent menus suck. I could see way too clearly the details of underlying windows and graphics that seeing the menu was a annoying challenge.
I used run the classic MacOS. Then I switched to Linux.
Now when I have to use a Windows box if I have do anything other than cruise the web I get really frustrated. Why? Because with every iteration Windows treats me like a idiot! In fact Remond must think their customers are getting stupider every day.
Delay of OS release? Better put in a half dozen new wizards and hide the real tools.
Bush/Saudi Oil Families. There is a big connection there.
What the U.S. doesn't want or need is a civil war in Suadi Arabia. And why not? Saudia Arabia is still a conservative, Moslem nation. If the Saudi Family looses power we will have people who won't even pay the U.S. lip service. OPEC will decrease production and in fact have no reson to decrease barrel prices and then the U.S. will be over the barrel.
But is is documented. This connection between the Bush and Saudi Royal families. It's really too late for me to dig it all up but G.W.Bush is a snake oil salesman.
I guess that I can count myself lucky that I barely know what you're talking about.
I have only had the sound not work out of the box once, when I installed Slackware. Only it wasn't not working. The alsamixer's master volume was set to off. Now, I think that is a funny default. I mean; don't all PCs come with a sound card or have the sound built-in?
I would like to say that I read and googled and was told by a friend that I "...could not learn Linux w/o someone teching me" before I tried to run Linux.
What made me take the plunge? Well I had a iMac to learn to run Linux (versus my main machine, a 1999 G4) and I was doing o.k.. I did alright till I tried to connect online, the modem was dead. So I backed up my main machine and reinstalled MacOS on a new partition.
After a install of YellowDog Linux ver.3 I spent two or three days discovering scsi under Linux and getting my firewire CDRWs to work. I spent two weeks getting my usb flash drive to work. It doesn't seem very different to me manually mounting various removable media.
I now know enough to look for devices that I know are Linux compatible and to know that if it is a basic sort of device (router) I can just buy one and it will work.
As a Mac user I wasn't the type who could make Illustrator and Photoshop dance but I could fix the corrupted systems of my Mac friends who could make them dance. In short I was more tech savvy.
What do I like about Linux? That when I do finally get something setup under Linux it STAYS setup. Like the old MacOS without all the crashing.
Now when I install a new distro it's a matter of taking about thirty minutes to setup anything the installer didn't.
Did I mention that it STAYS setup?
I recompile my kernels, download almost only source files and boot in runtime 3. I have seen a few comments on the internet reporting that a Mac users are too graphically oriented to use the command line. Much as I like pretty pictures the CL is faster to mount, install and copy stuff.
When I roommated with a friend We shared a internet connection and computer room. I always chuckled when he couldn't do something in Windows and it took me: a. one try b. thirty seconds.
Myself and other people cannot read the CDs he burns and in fact he has yet to figure how to burn a ISO to disk.
My friend has become somewhat interested in Linux but realizes it is not for him. He has seen what I go through to get stuff working/apps installed. If I could virtually guarantee his games would run under Linux I could switch him over with no problem.
I know no programming languages (well maybe some Basic) and have little interst in doing so. I have paid for a few distro CDs (got to support the distro I run, like PBS) and I have paid for sw that runs under Linux. I also pay for my beer.
I agree. It looks real neat. I could use it with my friend in Mexico. We use voip sw and email each other to schedule. But no phone number is a stumbling block.
Seeing how I'm going voip with a comapny that will provide a phone number and such I don't see building this device or buying the chatcord ($50).
Wow! I got iconnecthere on June 14, 2005. It is now July 4, 2005 and I have yet to have the service working.
Dammit! I had to buy a router for their service when some other providers don't require one! Their tech dept can only ask you three questions:
1. Do you have the adapter set for static i.p.? 2. Follow these instructions to set static i.p.. 3. Does it work now? See step 1.
I imagine their business plan as such; 1. Do you have the adapter set for static i.p.? 2. Follow these instructions to set static i.p.. 3. Does it work now? 4. ??? 5. Profit!!
Euchre? I can only beleive this if you are from or have lived for 5+ years in Indiana.
My Mother and siblings moved there after I had come to the SouthWest. When Mom moved to Mesa, AZ I visited one x-mas. They tried to teach me euchre but I just didn't have the patience to learn such a screwed up game.
Plus Indianians pronounce the silent E. Down where I am if you speak english as a first language and you do your best to learn the Spanish sounds (of course you hang out with people who speak Spanish as a first language) then you should watch your R(s) as they may start to sound a little funny. Sabe Esé?

And which newer games does your Atari run? Also, which model?
I just went to twit tv and followed the twit blogs link and Behold! John C. Dvorak is a twit!
When the price of a HDTV get below $500 it will be affordable to many more people.
But unless they start broadcasting better quality shows instead of the same crap themes since the fifties I won't even shell out that much.
Yeah, well, so do Intel and AMD. Why does IBM think they have the inside track all of a sudden?
Probably because they are supplying the processors for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3?
2GB usb keychain stick: don't leave home without it!

I see we are on the same page.
There is a Palm app called Wank Words Bingo that can be used in corporate meetings. Here's a web based one you can print out or something.
M$ waits till people forget where the bit of tech they're copying originated.
Optical mouse? M$ in 2xxx? No Xerox 1983.
MSWord?
Excell?

Was bedeuten Sie?
Being a person of Anglo-Saxon Teutonic heritage (read: German) who is American I have an intial knee-jerk reaction but then I think about it.

Just my two cents, thanks for listening.
A quick Google and here you go.
Looks real economical.

My question is always "Yes, but can I run it under Linux?"
This makes me think of TMBG's "Why Does the Sun Shines".
If there's a song of this ice melting I may learn something yet.
Just like with big cars. You watch until it hits a turn. Since you can measure it's speed you can get the weight by measurung the roll (yaw).

I bet you don't really know what it meant any more than I did. I stand by "Indianians" as you DID understand it and it is not nor has been derogatory.
you're shittin' me
Euchre? I can only beleive this if you are from or have lived for 5+ years in Indiana.
My Mother and siblings moved there after I had come to the SouthWest. When Mom moved to Mesa, AZ I visited one x-mas. They tried to teach me euchre but I just didn't have the patience to learn such a screwed up game.
