Unfortunately it takes ~3-4 hours to charge. So let's say I want to go cross country. I drive 235miles and then I have to charge again and wait for 3-4 hours. I could have traveled another 300 miles in that time if I had just filled up at some gas station. This is the biggest problem I see with electric, they are great in town or on the track but not for long distance travel/all day driving.
If gadgets can't crash planes, then the ban is costing billions of hours per year of lost productivity by business people who want to work in flight.
Millions of man hours in playing solitaire/minesweeper is costing billions per year in lost productivity and taxes for the government. I say that the FAA and FCC get together and put a ban on these, especially while in flight.
ndiswrapper doesn't require you to do the firmware cutting step, you just supply it the.inf file and make sure the.sys file is in the same directory with it and run ndiswrapper -i file.inf . With bcm43xx you have to, get firmware from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/bcm43xx, cut and install the firmware
which is derived from the softmac driver or mac80211 driver and I think which is loaded when the bcm43xx module is loaded into the kernel. I'd rather just use the "official" inf and sys files from BCM or the system integrator (compaq in this case).
I've been using ndiswrapper with my BCM4306 802.11b/g device since before bcm43xx was useable on linux. Getting the bcm43xx driver to work involves firmware cutting and some other low level tricks I'd rather not do. I've never used a BSD and would never touch Theo's distro with a 99ft pole but I recommend using ndiswrapper for users who would like to use BSD and have a BCM wireless device.
dell has had dual quad core systems = 8p for several months. see their precision workstation line up. it just never made it to the front of/. . The only thing related to dell that makes it to/. is when they get sued by some customer or when they decide to start selling preconfigured linux boxes to regular desktop customers (not enterprise). basically if it's not not linux or apple or any company that mass markets linux products to consumers then it should be shot down.
mod me down for being a troll (that's what/.'s do best) but Dell has had these in their precision workstations for quite some time. Never saw that make it to the front of/. . As always you can get a similarly configured Dell for much less.
..at least you didn't purchase an sgi prism which probably cost us $15k+, has dual ati firegl's, uses the same shitty fglrx drivers, with all the same shitty problems found on ati's unofficial bugzilla.
They are not. just from trying to get them configured for the uni ldap, autofs, nis, it's a pita. We have to manually make changes in the nfs script because it makes 1000's of symlinks in 2 different directories. Many of the settings that can be modified with nss_ldap don't even exist on osx, for example loginshell overrides. There's no newgrp, we have to roll our own. It's going to be real fun transferring all our users from nis to open directory (slapd) when we start configuring that. Will padl's migrationtools work, I doubt it.
OSX server comes with apache 1.3..wtf? we had to use fink and install 2.0.something (the apache2 monolithic build provided by serverlogistics.com has cgi bugs). The configuration files are all over the place/etc/hostconfig,/Library,/System/Library, netinfo gui while on more posix systems it's just/etc . The perl that also comes with osx is buggy (try installing Net::LDAP and all its prereqs using perl -MCPAN -e shell).
How do I login to an xserve with ssh -C -Y or ssh -X and run gvim or an xterm or any X app, can't have to use vnc. Then there's HFS which we have to use to support all those nasty meta files. I guess Xsan will be nice when we use it but that's after we get all the data off our huge raid array just for a couple of mac clients.
We haven't even started migrating postgres, mailman, request tracker, and sendmail yet. If it's anything like the way it has been already we're probably going to have to use fink again.
And no I don't want quicktime on my headless Xserve, thinking differently is difficulty.
Novell would have a lot of work to do if they were suddenly put in a position in which they could no longer distribute the gcc package, GIMP, GNOME, etc. with SuSE or any other Novell-branded Linux distro
Ever heard of forking? Last time I checked all those apps were still GPLv2. Novell can fork the last version released under GPLv2. They can keep applying patches as long as those patches aren't GPLv3 licensed and as long as those patches don't contain MS proprietary code.
You call killing support for opengl used in solidworks, catia, pro-e, maya and every other xyz cad/cam/cae program making your enterprise customers happy? I hope every one of those seats switches to Linux or MacOSX. Take a look at these benchmarks of WinXP vs Vista
My business is supporting guys like you who do molecular modeling. We work in a Linux, Mac, SGI, and some WinXP systems shop. No one does their work on Windows except for when they need to build their presentations and write their papers in MSOffice. With that said, everything you said can be done in WinXP (e.g. with cygwin). I think MSI and Gaussian sell the apps you need in Windows flavors.
I would stay away from Vista because it doesn't do opengl in a window without going through a directx layer. It also doesn't support hardware stereo in a window, which all modeling apps that do hardware stereo require.
EEStor claims that, using an automated production line and existing power electronics, it will initially build a 15-kilowatt-hour energy-storage system for a small electric car weighing less than 100 pounds, and with a 200-mile driving range. The vehicle, the company says, will be able to recharge in less than 10 minutes.
I'm not so sure that I would like to drive a car that weighs 50-60lbs less than me.
How are people in rural areas going to get network connections? If the OLPC is working as a wireless router then there needs to be at least one WAP somewhere in the frontier that is being picked up by a OLPC and rebroadcasted to other OLPC. Who will be providing the network infrastructure? People in these rural areas don't even have electricity. Sometimes they get it by splicing a main line and dragging a wire into their houses. Even then the electricity often goes out for several hours every day.
We hear about these new hi-tech and revolutionary cures for cancer and other diseases every month. But when will it hit the market? Not before millions die before cancer within the next year.
I've installed ies4linux but activex applications don't work. Will they work with this IE7 hack? We have a cyclades KVM at work that uses an activex app to launch the viewer..it works but it's really annoying since we're a 99% nix shop.
1) why does it always ask me to accept the sun/gpl or whatever license it is. I've had to do it for every single version I've run. It's also asked me whether i'm a "registered" member every single time!! 2) when printing presentations in handout mode how do i set the # of pages / handout?! 3) the options for setting the data vectors for charts in calc are worthless..this is why excel is better
They should have maintained the link to the 1.5 versions on their main website. Most people don't know about ftp and doing a google search will get you nothing off the first page of hits. 2.0 breaks lots of plugins like tab mix plus.

The key is 3 Ghz. Try to find a Dell with two Intel quad core chips running at 3 Ghz. ahh you are indeed correct.

no you are wrong, they've had dual quad core systems for quite some time . I visit their page regularly since I buy dell's regularly.

we needed mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap, no choice but to go with one that had the modules already (fink) or build from scratch.
They are not. just from trying to get them configured for the uni ldap, autofs, nis, it's a pita.
