Not that I agree with the parent post, but Bluetooth is an open standard that any company can use not a Company making a propritary technology that is in competition with Intel's WUSB. Just a bit of difference there.
It is actually a doctor who owns it. I saw a program on Discovery Wings a year or two ago that had him and the plane in it. They gave his name but I cannot remember what it was.
He said the only real restriction that was on the plane was one that is on all civilian aircraft: No supersonic flight over US airspace.
I think it all boils down to short sightedness. Most people only want to look at the first layer of the picture. If you do that then sure, it looks like the rich get all the breaks and the middle class get screwed. But when you look deeper into the system you can see what nyseal is talking about makes sense. Who provides the vast majority of jobs in this or most other countries? Answer that question and you will understand why it makes economic sense to give businesses incentives to do business. Small or large, commerce is necessary and I'd rather they do it here than elseware.
the SunFire line is not only comprised of AMD based x86 machines. Mostly it is SPARC machines, but the first x86 SunFire was the v60x and the v65x. Both are based on Intel Xeon DP chips.
To add to this, someone commented that they can release code without releasing specs. Well, it is not only code that they co not own but some of the specs are licenced from SGI and they cannot release them either.
You are incorrect. Disk one of fotr theater version had about 3 hours ov vid on it. Disk 1 of the extended has 105 min(1h45m) on it and disk 2 has 123(2h3m), 20 min of witch is extended credits(these take up verry little space) So the film is evenly split, not just overflowed.
Disk one of two towers has 107 min on it and disk 2 has 129, 20 min of witch is extended credits. And it is not just a simple re-encode of the video. Alot more time was spent getting the color corrections right and many other things.
If you are curious what exactly has been done in the extended cuts, look here.
Part of the reason for getting the extended cut is video quality, not just the extended scenes. On the first release they put the whole movie on one dual layer disk. In the extended cut it is on two dual layer disks so that they can greatly up the video bitrate.
So in that sense if you just want to view the deleted scenes, get the quality compromised bootleg download.
And to further that, any developer that I have spoken to that has done work in Solaris and Linux has had this to say:
Solaris is a far easier envronment to write software for/in. The code and api's are much cleaner.
Now I am not a developer myself, but I do work in both Linux and Solaris. Linux is a great desktop and webserver/mail server, but I prefer Solaris for everything else. Well, almost everything, BSD for routers/firewalls.
I would even take your comment a bit further. I am a user of both Solaris and Linux. I feel that linux is a far superior platform for a workstation. Hardware support is much more diversified, XFree86 has all of the features users want that the Sun X Server lacks, desktop performance is better, etc. Where Linux loses out is when you get 4 or more processors in a system. It just dose not scale well. It runs great on 1 and 2 cpu(x86, not sure about ppc, sparc, etc) systems and can outperform Solaris. But once you get into 4 way, it starts to get unstable and the performance gains are not nearly as great as they are with Solaris.
I think that Linux can and will excell in those areas eventually, perhaps even with the 2.6 series kernel. I have not yet tested with 2.6.
Of course these incoherent thoughts are just my opinion based off my informal testing.
"--if you look at the marketplace over the last two years, there've been 2 million servers shipped into the market. Our UnixWare price tag of $1,500 would have generated $3.5 billion in revenue for us."
By my count that would be 3 billion if they had a 100% market share. But considering their share is about 2%, from all the numbers I have read, that would leave them with a rather generous $6 million.
Actually I believe netcom was the first nationwide ISP with a flat monthly rate. I believe I had my first netcom account in 1993. Even if they were not the first, I know they had a flat rate long before AOL did. AOL only did it because they had to.
Heck, I remember downloading Mossaic on it not to long after I signed up.
you misread my post. bad software design is outlook having so many security issues that they just decide to dis-allow access to attachments by default instead of trying to find a real solution. One that would at least make it more diffulct to propogate worms, etc. Attachments being absolutly essential to email renders this solution useless.
The first step from my point of view is obvious. force outlook to run as a limited access user even if you are logged on as admin. That way if a program is run from a messqage it will have no access to do anything dangerous. Make it so that in order for a prog to run at a higher level requires downloading/saving and running manually. Granted this will not help everyone, but it could be a start. Win2k and XP allready have the basic run as user... features.

Read the articles again. The cache latency of the trace cache, data cache and L2 cache all went up, not down. Infact all of them almost doubled.

Did anyone else find it funny that the system failed at 2:14 pm? ...on August 29 1997 at 2:14 am SkyNet becomes self aware....
I'm pretty sure he did sat 2:14 am.

I personally prefer good quality video.

yeah, I guess some people want to conviently forget about OpenOffice when it comes time to bash Sun. Not to mention the contributions to Gnome.

Aparently he is not that good at math either....

Funny, because this is the exact behavior that OE 6SP1 exibits. I dose not allow opening or downloading of attachments of any kind by default.
I guess it is MS's way of shifting the blame from bad software design to the user.
