A segment failing isn't always because of a lack in management, but many times lies in fault of users on the segment.
BTW: NT SP3 and NT SP4 are different and why would microsoft imply there was a difference if there wasn't, not like they sell the 30 some odd meg service pack that you use their bandwidth to download for free.
If 34% of my computers that I manage went down due to a virus I'm reletively sure I would still have a major problem, and I'm no government agency by far. As I now think about it what would we have to do to justify different os's, do different distributions of Linux count?

I can understand that too, but it's convienince and file size, but if you really want to get picky go all the way back to full.wav's. Also keep in mind that you are doing compression, decompression, comp...etc. So anything will fall apart after enough transfers, try taking a cd, ripping it, burning it, and take a look a few generations down, it will eventually fall apart and there's no compression, you loose bits from scratches and such that you never notice because the d/a corrects for these errors to a point untill they build up on top of each other and no amount of error correction can patch it back together reliably since it is trying to fix things that have already been fixed once or more times before, same with repeated comressions to decompressions, it's almost like taking a story and passing it through a few people, see what comes out the other end, it's pretty amusing how different it is. But then again why are we decompressing them to back and forth for our empeg anyway?

I'm not so sure about the Sony part, one I doubt they would make one, and if they did I'm sure I wouldn't buy one for one reason. Sony is a large record label, so _IF_ they did make one I'm sure there would be lot's of neat restrictions on it like their neat copy once protection on consumer Dat decks.
I would imagine the only way you could say that you have a digital amplifier would be to have the d/a be the output stage, but that would be a tricky chip design putting out lot's of heat. It would be rather expensive as well, but there's a techno freak sucker born every second, so you do the math.
If I remember right tube amps create all harmonic distortions in the even orders with are actually pleasing to the human ears, also when a tube amp is overdrivven they clip much different than transistor apms. Transistors harshly cut the wave where tubes round it flat to make the disrotion not as harsh and much easier on speakers and ears (remember that a low powered amp will blow a speaker much faster than a overpowered amp when driven to high levels.) If Tube amps were so bad they wouldn't be sold anywehre, it's not like they're cheaper than their trasistor counterparts. Although I do have to agree with all the other reasons you state, most of which relate directly with car installation of a tube amp, other than price which applies everywhere, although if you're buying an empeg you are already shelling out some cash.
Also you asked about digital amps earlier, the only thing that is close to that that I know of are the d-class amps that Infinity put out a number of years ago. They were an interesting amp that worked somewhat on the AM radio principal and were extremely efficient and small for the power they put out, but were doomed due to the reletively high distortions they caried, but you would almost never hear the distotions while driving, but people care about numbers. As far as a good amp, just use the same prinicpals that fit any good car stereo installation, since it has pre-amp rca out-puts I imagine there is no internal amp (would have heat and space issues that they wouldn't want to deal with.) So nothing else really changes, it's still a car stereo.

There's also a heat factor, in a car you would most likely have less cool ventilation, especially before the ac kicked in on a warm day sitting in the sun if it is in the car and you'd be screwed if it was in the trunk unless you lived in Alaska or something. Moblie hard drives have much less heat generation and usually have a wider tollarance for heat extreemes. As well as power consupmtion, but that's pretty much negligable unless you are planning on using some old 5.25" full hight 24watt drives, but then you'd have to turn it up all the time to overcome the sound of the damned drives.
Here's the cool thing about the K-Car's, they have a din and a half (about) radio. This means much more space to mount a good control panel and screen, I've been contemplating it with my '86 K-Car, but then I would actually have to lock the doors, and what fun would that be?
Poisoned from the start? I really don't see any of those points as poisonous am much as quality control. They own the format - well that's just good business safety, reserve the right to ban ICQ clients - first off never seen it happen, but I'd want to keep comtrol there too, only approved ICQ servers - there's the quality control, you wouldn't want these wacked out servers being controlled by spammers, you think you get enough as it is just think if a spammer ran a ICQ server, eek.
agreed, the Seagate 8.(# I cant remember) that I got for work to replace a dying 6.4 is extreemly quiet, I thought it was doa at first since I didn't hear it spin up. Add to that one of those hd heat sinks that have just started to pop up and some Dynamat (car audo vibration dampening material, and use the heat sink to remove any heat that the Dynamat might trap in) and it would be about mute. Then use some of the remaining Dynamat around the case here and there. Much more practical than a whole lot of ram just to forgo the hd, by the way, what would you boot from? floppy, network, really.
If I'm not mistaken, you really just described basically what goes on inside an air conditioner. At least most of the theroy behind it: expansion, condesation, and compression.
In all seriousness overclocking benchmarks aren't all that concreete. The most informative thing imo is the abount of heat removed. The whole I got this to go up this much by doing this, well I'm much more interested in what you did that you had control over than how good the manufacturing of your cpu is. The fact remains that processors vary widely in overclocking ability over a particular line and the raw numbers don't really help me all that much. It's kind of like the theory behind checking VIN numbers on a car to see if it was built on a Friday or a Monday and avoiding them, you just don't know enough to base the decisions on the overclocking numbers. Now a good thermometer, those numbers I could use.
but if at the botom of the page it says he is shooting for -40C. I would imagine any condensed water would freeze rather quickly. Now, will the ice float? If not you would collect a sheet of ice at the botttom of the tank, probably almost a shlush that wouldn't drain too well. If it does float it would be pretty easy to remove the water/ice as long as a sheet of ice doesn't form on top and create a "wall" that would have to be broken, presumably by all the weight of mineral oil collecting on top thus shooting ice chinks all over the board. Either that or the coils would condense the water and ice would collect there and freeze to the coils (a much higher probablitiy I'm sure) and then the mineral oil would roll off the side of the sheet of ice and only fall from the sides of the coils and cause a not all that efficient transfer of heat to the coils. hmmm, lots to think about here.... and maybee time to defrost my minifridge, uh, it's scientific research, yeah that's it....
Why not just find out how many of each processor was sold and add it out after you multiply the #of proceccors and the power of each. Of course the question is doomed ot be inacurate, but it's all in fun isn't it?
I see it's been slashdoted, I think it was on BluesNews before. I've had it in my bookmarks ever since, I bring it up for friends once in a while. I did like the the equation for calculating the speed, verry well done. The only thing that I wish they had put in is how they put together the release for the compressed air, and just a little more detail about the actual making of it. Looked golden though when I saw it.
I was always happy to read the extensive list of responses to/. articles, maybee until now. It would really suck if/. turned into a spam target. It just goes to show if something is great and lots of people use it and get something from it, people will abuse it and bring it down. Many great loads of respect for rob and friends for creating a great place to find new info and share thoughts in a semi unrestricted arena. Let's hope the spammers don't bring this down any. Down with SPAM!
