No, I think there is something weird with your setup, since I have the exact same setup on my other desktop behind me, and the only problem i have with the FS is that it keeps filling up;)
NTFS allows metadata, made for the purpose of keeping compatibility with MacOS. You just have to open the file using the windows functions, and at the end of the filename you put:whatever where whatever is the name of the stream you want. I'd get around to writing a program that stores program information into a file's stream, like MacOS does, but, laziness. You understand.
In Riven if you didn't think to take Gehn out of the way, he shot you at the end, there were other ways I think, but I can't remember them. As for the "H" puzzle, it's one of those things with 9 spaces, one with an empty space, and the others with a broken up picture, and you have to move the pieces into the empty space to rearrange it into the picture. It took me two hours, but I finally got it, and I never want to do it again.
But isn't AMD planning to phase out Socket-754 to replace it with Socket-939? Or were they going to use 754 for Athlon XP and 939 for desktop 64-Bit, and leave 940 for the Opterons? If anyone could confirm this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
But the newer processors are still mass-produced, and I'm fairly sure that you can get a couple of thousand 2.4GHz Celerons/Semprons (equiv clock speed) much more easily than an equivalent speed older processor. When Dell/HP/Compaq want a processor line, that will carry much more weight than individual people. But this doesn't really affect me since I use my computer for games/devel, so I need at least a moderately fast machine.
If you always keep them the same, eventually some dickhead will stick his new 1.5v processor into an old 5v/12v motherboard. You're gonna need a new motherboard anyway, unless your current one can do 10GHz.
I haven't done any benchmarks, but I would imagine that SSE instructions take considerably more cycles to complete than x86.
And the Athlon 64 has 40-bit physical addressing and 48-bit virtual addressing, IIRC.
And as for what applications could benefit from 128-bit registers, I would imagine that anything using RC5 would be speeded up (even though it is already extremely fast). There would be others too, but I haven't written any others that I know of.
I have it, and I think it's great. Only one problem:
THAT FUCKING H PUZZLE!!!!
Everything else is good, and the corridor with the entire Bible rewritten on it (yes, I read the whole corridor, but it took me a surprisingly long time to work out what I was reading) was only mildly annoying. And remember Riven? There were a couple of ways you could die, but not very many. And a good challenge.
But the difference is that you don't have to if you don't want to. Besides, in a developing country, do you think that they will want to pay the faceless corporation or the little people who make open source?
It's madness that each lightbulb will have to contain it's own little transformer
You mean like 12v Halogens? They seem popular enough. And remember, it isn't the voltage that causes problems (to a point), it's the power that is dissipated. Ohms law says that Current = Voltage / Resistance. If you increase the voltage, so will the current. When you increase the voltage 2V, the current increases 2I. But the power dissipation increases n. So when you increase the voltage, as long as the current stays low, it won't be damaged.
And if necessary, you could just use a switchmode power supply to power many LEDs.
Class 1: Cannot come into contact with you (interlock)
Class 2: Cannnot do anything before you notice it and get it out of your eyes ( less than 5mW )
Class 3a: Fairly Dangerous ( less than 10mW )
Class 3b: Very dangerous - stay away ( less than 500mW )
Class 4: RUN!!! ( above 500mW )
And the thing you have to be careful about with CD lasers is that they are IR, sou you can only just see them, and by the time you notice anything, the damage has been done. DVDs use red lasers (???), so they wouldn't be as bad (you can see them), but remember, it's focussed into a very small area.
Therein, the DMCA will still allow Real to do whatever they want with the iPod
But say if the barrier was in the DRM, wouldn't that make reverse engineering to make the music play on iPod illegal because they reverse engineered the copy protection? And they would also now know how to break the DRM, and if they make public how they do it (they wouldn't anyway), then DMCA would come into effect, because they are giving information which can be used to "Deprive Artists of their IP Rights". Yet another reason to revoke DMCA.
And so far in my life, I've had problems with spinal injuries. It doesn't hurt so much that I can't stand it now, but it probably will sometime in my life. Are things going to get better if I've been immunised against the painkillers?
I'm still in school and have about 5 years of programming experience.
There's no challenge to it, the way alot of school networks are run. And learning to program (moderately well) isn't out of reach of a 17-year old - I started when I was 10. Kept going, language after language. Know some people who are starting now, in fact. It's a lot easier to learn to program now, and with Windows that people target..........even I could learn it [hacking] in a weekend or two.
The kids who do damage though would turn out to be Script Kiddies. And I think little of people who can't write their own programs to hack. Not that I think very well of most hackers, but script kiddies are low, even for hackers, to me.
And about, the military training, I'd just run. Very, very fast. Maybe pick up a metal pipe somewhere along the line, but most importantly, run.
My first impression was Visual Basic, but on more careful inspection (return statements,:= operator), I'd guess Pascal. I don't know pascal though, so could someone tell me if I'm right?

I knew this, but what I meant was in the long term will AMD do to Socket 754 what Intel did to 423?
But isn't AMD planning to phase out Socket-754 to replace it with Socket-939? Or were they going to use 754 for Athlon XP and 939 for desktop 64-Bit, and leave 940 for the Opterons? If anyone could confirm this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Why not in Adelaide? There's over a million of us watching TV here!!!

P4 and Xeons are pretty much same stuff, right... Both are x86 compatible
A Xeon is a P4 with extra cache. P4EE is just a repackaged Xeon.

Ummmm.......what about select?
$ man 2 select
explains it, or am I missing something here?

I'd enter, but I can't take off my tinfoil hat to use as a reflector.

To me, the thought of anyone learning anything more than where to go for a meal from TV ads is frightening.

But things will have changed since the doctor was at medical school, and the advertising for these drugs must target the doctors as well.
But over here in Australia , we don't do that (that I notice, or at least remember), so I could be wrong about how things are in the US.

I inject pain signals into my head with a cutoff extension cord, and it never hurt me. That I remember.....

Not free as in beer.
