I hope you dont really believe the lies that dreamhost tells you! 4TB/month 400gb.. that would take a serious dedicated server just for you costing a few hundred dollars a month.. The Amazon service would work out much cheaper than that.
Try using even 1/10th of what they say they offer and you are sure to be booted out.. (yes I have tried it long back before I got dedicated servers:) )
I have been to many private banks and they all have atleast a Rs. 5000 minimum deposit! I dont know where you are getting your 500 minimum from (a govt. owned bank I guess..) Citibank has way higher minimum deposit limits the last time I checked.. (Rs. 2 lakhs (~$4700 minimum) for their personal account.. and yes they had called me up to take their rip-off account so I know I got the minimum right..)
Anyways, something about this just does not sound right. First of all the poor people will always prefer govt. banks due to low minimums, no hidden charges and local language staff besides other reasons.. They dont require ATM's or net/phone banking and its associated costs.
Well livejournal does need to pay for their bandwidth and running costs right?
With ad blockers getting more and more prevalent and sometimes getting installed by default with some firewall software, it might get problematic for websites depending on ad revenue.
Although I guess peopl installing ad blockers on their own, probably would just ignore the ads anyway.
A new lady teacher came to teach 8th standard students. As it was the first day, she gave her intro, and asked all the students to Introduce themselves with name and hobby.
She said, "Let's start with the boys first". Boys start giving their intro...
First boy: "My name is John, and my hobby is to see bubble in the Bathtub".
Teacher was confused to listen but said, "Interesting. Well, Ok. In fact, we must be honest in telling the hobby. And after all there is essentially a child in each of us. So it's ok John. Yes next".
Second boy: "Myself Peter and my hobby is to see bubble in the bathtub."
Teacher now got surprised and said, "Good. I like the spirit of supporting a friend. Ok next".
Third boy: "I'm Smith and my hobby is to see bubble in the bathtub".
Teacher: "Guys are you joking or what? Please be sincere. Ok next".
This continues...
And the last boy stands up "I'm Harry and my hobby is to see Bubble in the bathtub".
Exhausted, the teacher said, "I don't think I will be able to teach un-grown boys for long. Anyway, now the girls please."
First girl: "I'm Julie and my hobby is to see birds".
Teacher: "Good. At last I got something different. Ok next".
Second girl: "I'm Ruby and I like to collect perfumes".
Teacher "Now it's like educated grown up girls. Ok next.
You sweet Girl; Yes you..." Most beautiful girl of the class gets up:
"Mam, my name is Bubble, and my hobby is to take bath three times a day":)
The MPAA should just check out the comments on both columns and itll become clear what the people think... heres a nice one.
You say, "Without proper protections, it will be increasingly difficult to show movies, television shows or even baseball games on free television." But you do not tell us why you believe that. I get the feeling you're talking at me, not to me.
Second, these types of protections have already left a bad taste. For example, not long ago I wanted to show my kids something quick that we had been discussing. My wife was trying to get us out the door, but we had a minute, so I popped the DVD into the player. It starts playing all the junk (sorry, that's how I see it) at the beginning. So I hit the "Menu" button.
"Operation not permitted."
So I hit the "Next Chapter" button.
"Operation not permitted."
So I try the "Fast Foreward" button...
Do I have to say it? In total disgust, since we have no more time, I hit the "Stop" button.
"Operation not permitted."
"What!? I'm not even permitted to stop it? Who gave those clowns control of my remote?" is exactly what I said aloud, with my kids present. I then turned off the power switch, conceding that was all I could control in my own living room.
You want me to believe the broadcast flag will be any better? And you can't even articulate a good reason why its needed? You've got a lot of work ahead of you to convince me, and end user, that the broadcast flag is worth the cost of more legislation.
I wonder how slashdot posts stuff like this, which is very common thing, that has been done numerous times.
Social Engineering is getting to be an easier way for the script kiddes to get more victims, as more people put SP,2 which has the firewall enabled by default and so the usual attacks dont work.
Well most overclockers I know do it with cheap products.
Like for eg. If I go out and buy the cheapest Athlon64 3000+ (1.8Ghz)for 150$ or so and overclock it to 2.8Ghz, which is very possible, then I get a HUGE difference in performance, that I would only be able to get by shelling out many hundreds of dollars more otherwise.
Basically all the cpu's with the same core are the same, only with different multipliers. If you buy the cheapest CPU you should be able to go to the highest speed of the range, if you have the right motherboard that can handle the high fsb's. Although these days there is more speed binning but getting 200-400 Mhz is a piece of cake.
1.8 crore is 18 million (180 lakhs)... not 180 million.
And it isnt that much money. A 2 bedroom house in a city like delhi or mumbai would be more than that. Its nowhere enough to do their 'own thing' for a long time1
I am failing to see why Sony has the superior CPU here. Their core is roughly similiar to the core MS is using, and it only has one of them. The SPE's are nice, but they are 'helper' cores, not full general purpose CPU's. They can only be utilized for specific functions, not for everything. By comparison the 360 has three general purpose cores each with its own SPE-like Vector unit. The versatility here should allow far more of the 360's power be easily tapped than the Cell. A dev could easily run a physics engine on one, AI on another, and the core game on the third. That option dosen't really exist on Cell...
I just keep hearing people going on about the Cell outclassing the 360. I have yet to hear a single technical reason as to why that is.
Well we can never reach 'film quality gfx' on console hardware because what 'film quality' is keeps improving all the time and there is no way that cheap off the shelf equipment can come anywhere near that, that too in real time!
What we will get is just some better quality graphics, nothing extraordinary.
I bet most of those 13 million computers come from outsourced helpdesk setups, basic "You get this question, you give this answer" computers (like what's used in telemarketing places) by Microsoft and what have you.
Well thats not true, many households esp. in cities have desktop computers. At my place itself, we have 4 computers, one for each person, and not some cheap stuff, all were above 1000$. There arent 13 million IT jobs in India btw, around half of that.
But the main difference is that it is not portable, unless you call lugging around a desktop portable... and it would consume much more power than the encore made system.
Here are some good looking pics of the laptop. Im not sure you can call it a laptop though, it looks more like a hybrid version of a pda and laptop. New segment?
Atleast if the jobs went to India, someone would gain, as Indians would get more jobs.
I dont know why this resentment over jobs going to India. India is a poor country and many people cant find jobs easily and there is no welfare system, so if you dont have a job your as good as on the streets. India can use all the jobs it can get!
Well if you dont want to see ads then just use a firewall or adblocker. My firewall outpost automatically removes banner ads and others from pages so you dont even know they exist!
This tech should be very useful on the public trackers (no registration required) as the torrents will continue to work even when the tracker is offline.
But what about the sites where a ratio is enforced so people seed and not just leech? This might break it as the clients might not talk to the main tracker anymore.
Is it even possible to enforce share ratios with distributed tracking?
Slashdot Mirror
So we would end up with tons of empty cars searching for parking spots everywhere and clogging up roads instead?
According to the LG India page http://www.in.lge.com/Product/Products-Details.aspx?cat=368&pid=9636&subcat=Watchphone&parent=Mobile%20Phone it costs 39900 INR i.e. ~870$. In actual stores it would be cheaper though, due to discounts.
I'm from India and I could access your site just fine. Firewall rules need some work eh?
Very well said!
That one seems to create way better models than the one in the article.. I wonder if there are any vids..
Can he name the Island as he was the first to see it/step on it?
I guess he could try to keep the Island for himself, but I guess it would then be his responsibility to protect it from other invaders..

Well the 2 teraflops is just theoritical and by the time it is shipped PC's would be much faster anyway.

Well, some job is better than no job right?
Also as time goes on, the pay will automatically go up, as there will be eventually more jobs than people.
Heh, you have a very weird logic there.
Atleast if the jobs went to India, someone would gain, as Indians would get more jobs.

That definitely is WMP, so it would be the Windows OS...
Windows aint that bad after all
