For those of us who are running 5.10 or one of the 6.06 betas, what is the upgrade procedure? Is it as easy as sending a few commands at the terminal or do we have to download, burn, and install as an "upgrade?"
Because the 4GB Hard Drive is based on Microdrive technology (see here for an illustration), it is tiny and small and therefore doesn't make any noise when it is spinning.
Wow! These drives must be great. To make a hard disk both tiny AND small has got to be tough.
Seriously though, is this the best article/. could find on the PSP HDD? It seems like there will be hundreds from which to choose and this one appears to have been written by my cocker spaniel.
A for-profit company! Trying to make money! Why I never.
All kidding aside, Google is not a charity. What's in this for them? though/. currently loves google, they're out there trying to make a profit for their shareholders just like the evil greedy telecoms. What's the angle here?
No, it does not. If you RTFA you would have learned that the BOINC FAH client is still in development and is not available to the public yet. FAH uses a standalone client similar to SETI Classic's. It allows good manipulation through CLI and registry keys (for Window$).
That's how it was for me. BOINC wouldn't run properly. I guess I didn't try hard enough or something. After a bit of trying I decided to switch to Folding@Home instead. I like the client better and, in my opinion, the science is more beneficial to humanity.
Laptops really are taking off, but as I observe, most laptops are NOT used as primarily protable devices. They usually sit on a desk doing the same job as their larger, more power hungry brethren. They just take up lass space and are ocnsidered more chic by the non-nerd masses. Sure they get used on batteries occasionally, but most people will plug their computers into the wall if at all possible.
It seems to me that folks interest in guarding families/children from pr0n would embrace a.xxx TLDN. That way it would be VERY easy to block those sites. No context analysis is required, just disallow access to all sites hosted on the.xxx TLDN.
The way I see it, though I am an evolutionist, the kids in school should at least be told that there is an opposing view. I'm sure most of them already know there is debate in this field but it is the most sensible thing to do. Share the facts and let the individuals make their own decisions.
"
The Xbox 360's Xenon CPU features more general purpose cores than the PlayStation 3 (3 vs. 1), however game developers will most likely only be using one of those cores for the majority of their calculations..."
Why on God's green earth would a programmer not use all of the processor(s)? Just to be lazy?
Absolutely not! Games cost too much to develop not to take advantage of the hardware.
Performance sells games these days. For a sony programmer to stay alive he'll have to use the machine to its fullest extent.

These are quite spectacular and I imagine I'm being robbed of the full experience by looking at them at 300x210 resolution.
Note to self: buy stock in crucial.

They do have that. It's called BURP, the Big Ugly Rendering Project. it even runs on BOINC just like SETI. Jump onboard if you like.

Cue the /. Google-gasms...
Will the software be free (like most of google's software)?
OH...MY...GOD

Isn't this the area in Russia where the Bond flick (and uber popular video game) Goldeneye took place?

I can think of very few other things that make people behave so irrationally. Money, women (or men?), power. Computers should not be on that list.
How else do you explain The Cult of Mac?

Somebody pre-slashdotted the opensuse link. I know one of you did it. Probably one of those grimy subscribers Fess up!
Oh man, that's pretty crazy.
Has Wikipedia ever been slashdotted to the point of 404?

Need I remind you that the crowner of Moon was a Democrat, Danny K. Davis, D-IL, and not one of those crazy "religious nutcase" Republicans?
Fire up Folding@home and in 24 hours be at the top of the performance rankings. ahhh... the nerdiness.
I'll give you a hint.
It starts with an L and rhymes with Finux Distros.
How's this jazz get rated insightful???
