... started earlier than 1924 for their list. Had they started the list at 1912, they could have included the original (silent version of) The Poseidon Adventure. Not only is that an exceedingly early movie, but it is the only movie about a sinking ocean liner actually SHOWN on a sinking ocean liner!
Search Ebay for a cheap, used laptop. Go for an older model, like something powered by a Pentium III, and you can get it very cheap, with enough power for most anything save for the newest games. I/O would not be a problem.
"Windows 2003 web server performs up to 300% higher throughput than Red Hat Linux running with Apache."
They were testing for a real-world enviroment. Apache would be serving large pages with plenty of images. Windows Server would be serving a single line of text to it's thousands of visitors.
Why not boost GPA's across the board, being random enough to elude detection, but not random enough to ensure that yours get's boosted? That sounds like the smarter alternative.
Well, part of that may have to do with the persistant problems with clipping in GTA3 and up. I've actually gotten a car halfway stuck into the ground in unmodded GTA3 several times, and once even got all the way through into the blue abyss.
Now with thiswe might just see little kinds in the Phillipines and Indonesia colorizing frames and sewing up Nike shoes... just kidding Actually, this looks like a ood way to take most of the tediusness out of a meniul (but necessary) task.
That is some insane data density, to have more than one terabit per inch. And here those crazy people though nano-tech would bring about "grey goo" -- little did they know the only goo it'd bring about is from the toughts of Slashdotters having a multiple TB's of porn on myeir harddrives.
There are extensions that add a new tab button in Firefox, but the easiest way to launch a new tab that I've found is to double click on the empty tab bar in Firefox. Not sure which they put that in there, but it works on all the recent versions I've used.
Imagine trying to track every download, of every person, for a whole state. As it is, the Recording Industry Ass. of America can't really get a handle on what they consider to be illegal downloading, and they have a lot more power than that state. Really, this is a hopeless cause, if you ask me.
Somehow, this seems like Microsoft is dangling a carrot in front of us all, then when we get exicted about it it moves out of reach again. (Oh, look! WinFS, the "next-generation" filesystem is coming to the "embattled" os Windows XP...) Yeah, Linux is looking better after this game.

Ugh. Looks like a cross between AOL-(mis)design tactics, and Windows Media Player 7 for Windows ME.
Ah, I guess I should clarify. MOst of the time when you buy a device anymore, it will come with driver disk(s). Take my new printer for example. There is one disk with the Windows drivers and installer (Win9X,2K,XP,etc,) and one for Macintosh (OS9.something, OSX). There is no driver disk for Linux/BSD/Etc. Now, I know this seems like a minor thing, but it actually indicates something deeper. On the surface, it is a minor inconvince to download drivers. But deeper, it means that Linux is only an afterthought to the company, that they make the device work for the OS, possibly instead of having the device planned for the OS the whole time. I know this isn't making much sense, so I apologise, but it's making sense in my mind.
I think all the security holes plauging Microsoft has done a number on that "Microsoft at the Forefront" myth. Sure, Microsoft has had a few technological advances, but as a whole they have been slowing down. It seems when a company grows big, they have trouble being as quick, nimble, and innovative as they once were. Microsoft has the money and the bloat to sit around on their behind for about three years and still be in the black. Also, when Microsoft sells something, they make limitations in it. If I recall correctly, Windows 2000/XP had a scheme where different versions networked differently. The most networkable one, was the "Advanced Server" model with an advanced pricetag to boot. M$ likes to make you pay for what comes free in Linux, sadly.
Apologies for the stream-of-conciousness style of writing. I haven't had my caffeine today.
Linux is close to the tipping point, but isn't there yet. What needs to happen before it can:
User friendliness.
Cleaning up the kernel some.
Device manufacturer acceptance. (Too many manufacturers don't make drivers available like they do for Windows and Mac. Downloading them is okay in the short term, but this needs to change.)
A news story I read the other day about Podcasting being picked up by churches used the word "Godcasting". I wanted to puke.

They'd sue you, buy your congressmen to get the laws changed, and consider you a criminal for being enthusiastic about the art and the industry.

Always blaming it on "Third Party Vendors." Really, does Ameritrade expect anyone to *really* believe that?

And who could forget the Wintel Hench-OEM, Dull?
Or maybe Firefox has them backed into a corner, and they finally realized they had to update IE.

One would hope so, as you are going to be selling your soul to Samsung to afford it.
