So that would be the Vista Arrrgh edition? now really, what on earth could make the differences between versons? 1) we have the stripped version, crippled and sold "at cost" to hit APAC, ok 2) a home version that focuses on useability over capability, minor crippling to get power users to buy the bigger version. 3) the bigger version with all the bells and whistles. 4) the corp. version with all the bells and whistles + management and deployment tools. That's it. I really can't think of any more versions...
Anyone smarter than me herecare to ellucidate? -nB
A local right wing host on the radio here (California), Mark Williams on KFBK 1530AM tried to assemble a "milliom muslim march" to protest violence. While he had no whatsoever of getting a million attendees, he expected a few hundred at least as the three local mosques (sp?) have memberships several thousand strong. How many turned out?

To that I say WTF? If you don't want people thinking you tacitly support terrorisim, then at least take advantage of the oppourtunities to speak out against it. If even 100 people had shown up that waould have made a huge statement. -nB
For the record, that hammas (sp?) was elected as the majority in Palestine makes me think I need to disagree with you on this point. Maybe it's localized by geo or something, but at least in that part of the world I do not think the minority is so minor. -nB
Yeah, but why? I just watched the video on another link and there is nothing particularly impressive about it. Certainly does not look worth blocking. -nB
I have some clips straight out of Iraq (carried over on hard disk), I can make them available, but not without the following disclosure: Some are exceptionally graphic, to the point that I will not watch them ever again. -nB
"While the legality of this is questionable, the ethical issues are obvious." The legality is clear and sucks. In the capacity of being a caching poroxy server I can be covered under existing legislation (such as common carrier), the part that sucks is that if I hate child porn (I do), and try to filter that out, I loose the legal protection and become liable for any I missed. Kinda F'd up if you ask me. -nB
you know that's not a half bad idea. . . Also, sleep per, se is not required. Might explain why those who do not act quickly, but rather meditate a bit seem to make better choices. Time to make a hotmail account and forward this to my boss. -nB
Number of layers matters as well. I can't disclose hard numbers, but 90nM masks are very uncheap. If you want say 25 micron parts (250nM about 5 year old tech) then the masks should be under 500K for a set (10-16 layers) and to be honest I don't know if anyone will even build larger geometry masks any more. All the FABs want to get away from the smaller wafers and larger geometries because they are inherently more expensive per die.
Is your idea all digital? If so the answer is already posted: FPGA. If not what % and what bandwith of analog do you need? I may have some ideas. -nB
I've done some work on these and there _is_ a power issue. While it's hard to put a finger on it We've found less problems powering up the IO ring first followed by the core. I know this shouldn't be an issue, but I've seen it.
Not really. I don't think either analogy is really all that correct. What I do think is that the ??AA is not a GoodThing(tm) and also that most artists never see a living wage from any of their CD sales. I don't feel bad about the allofmp3 site or purchases I've made there. In fact, I think that this business model has real possibility in the US if the RIAA would sit back and think about it for a moment:
1)Allow cheap, but not free, non-DRM music sales 2)Go after the file traders but without wide net john doe subpoenas 3)get your convictions and whine to the DAs to get criminal charges. (now the cost/benifit is in favor of legal cheap downloads, file trading will nearly go away.) 4) PROFIT!! -nB
you hit the nail on the head. Until the US (where I am) changes importation laws to close the opening being used (not likely because then other industries would cry foul as it's used for moving design files and such) or until russia changes their law it is legal. Besides the *AA usually goes for uploaders, not downloaders. -nB
Wow are you getting ripped off. Cd's usually are about 90c* a track and downloads are about 14c** per track. -nB
* buy used CD's. They always come with a playability guarentee, cost less, and deprive the ??AA of another retail counter sale. If the used CD business is booming and they cry slumped sales the people (us) can simply point at the used market and laugh
** when using a _legal_ source for 320 CBR MP3. If you use P2P then the cost fdrops to 0c, but there may be sustainability problems at that cost.
Similar (though a little different) to leaving a tip of 2c to prove to the wait staff that you thought about a tip, but that you found the service to suck, I buy my music from allofmp3. The RIAA (equiv in.ru?) get's their 2 cents, and I get my music. The artist never sees anything, but then they rarely do from CD sales either. -nB
That is all very true. The real key is not commiting any actual acts of slander/libel for them to act on. I'm guessing that I would not stand up too well from even their junior legal team, if for nothing more than the mass of time they could devote that I could not. -nB
Slashdot Mirror
Thank you.
So that's not _really_ a version then is it?
So they have 5 versions?
-nB
so what's the point of stripping out media player?
I really don't get that one.
-nB
So that would be the Vista Arrrgh edition?
now really, what on earth could make the differences between versons?
1) we have the stripped version, crippled and sold "at cost" to hit APAC, ok
2) a home version that focuses on useability over capability, minor crippling to get power users to buy the bigger version.
3) the bigger version with all the bells and whistles.

That very well may be, still puts that part of the world in a pickle; esp. if Hamas does not renounce said bombings.
-nB
so that's what, ten 12 hour days a week? :heh:

Specifically he sent invatations to the mosques.

Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.
I solved it in my head before reading the solution. I had the top and bottom rows inverted but it still is a valid solution.

They make the copy, you're moving it from their server to your pc, upon successful download the buffer(file) at their end is destroyed.
