For some motherboards, just replacing SDRAM by RDRAM will do no good, as the motherboard only takes SDRAM. So in these cases the motherboard would need replacing.
I don't know about the USA, but here in the UK the minimum age for holding a credit card is 18. So how is a 14-17 year old going to use a credit card to prove they are over 13?
Agreed. It is very likely that a court could say the First Amendment doesn't apply in a civil case, since it isn't government censorship,
I have seen this view stated a number of times, and while I am neither a lawyer nor an American surely this is not what your first amendment states. It does not say "Congress (or the government or federal agency) shall not censor or directly inhibit free speech." What is say is "Congress shall make no law...". Laws are what governs the behaviour of the people not just the government. Civil cases are just as much a matter of law as criminal cases, and these laws must be just as subject to the first amendment as criminal law.
The 4DOS/4NT/4OS2 command.com/cmd.exe replacements from JP Software have offered tab completion for many years. So there is no excuse for M$ to have left out this useful function for so long.
Is that not one reason why the "rules" require each domain to have 2 DNS servers which must not be hosted on the same network. So that there is mush less chance of both being down or unreachable at any one time.
What real purpose do Verisign & Thawte serve? For correspondents with whom you have previously had contact, simply digitally signing a document gives high confidence that it comes from the same source as previous documents signed by the same key. Thus a 3rd party certificate serves no useful purpose for already established relationships. For first-time contacts, how much do 3rd party certificates really tell you about the certificate holder? Is a simple digital signature (without a cert) not just as reliable as letter with an unknown handwritted signature? (Or even more reliable as the digital signature also ensures that the document contents have not been changed since being signed)
I wish that companies distributing binaries would not require linking against libstdc++. Or if they really must, then why can't they indicate which version is required on the download page?
I have just downloaded the opera beta, and found that it will not run because libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 cannot be resolved. The closest I have is libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3!
Piracy aside, how does this impact on the person recording original material on DVD? Does this mean that the corporate producers will be able to create encrypted DVDs, but the 'small' producer making an industrial training movie or recording something from their camcorder will only be able to generate 'en-clair' DVDs?
As well the much mentioned "Spam costs the recipient, junk snail mail costs the sender", the main difference I see between postal junkmail and Spam is the relevance of the material. Apart from "opt in" mailings (to which I have no objection, otherwise I would not have opted in) from companies with whom I have had contact, all of the mass emailings I receive fall into one of 3 types - either selling email addresses (or Spam softare), adverts for porn sites or "get rich quick" scams. None of which I want to receive. The DMA say about small companies needing to send out details, but I certainly have never received that type of Spam - and as long as it was reasonably targetted (eg not restricted to US residents but sent worldwide, and for a product or service that I might be interested in) would not be so bad as the current Spam.
The lack of a "standard" User Interface for the commercial vendors to design around is an advantage. Different User Interfaces suit different users. Currently the user/developer can chose the optimimum UI for their use/the application. We are not forced into using the "standard" UI as Windows users/developers are.

But doesn't setting up the call (irrespective of whether it connects) form the major cost to teleco of a call? (For local calls) Most of the plant has to be be there in order to provide any service.
So it is a good job that there is no (as far as I can see).rus TLD. Otherwise, a certain company might claim that the whole TLD infringes their trademark.
Isn't that profile backwards? Surely the person who has a lot of investment experience, holds many different stocks is the one who has proven that (s)he is just doing it for the money rather than having a genuine interest in the running of the companies offering the stocks? Is the person who has no other stock but wants to buy into an IPO because they believe in the company not more likely to hold onto the stock for longer than someone who treats stocks simply as a financial investment?
Why not? What harm is there in owning stock in a company simply because you believe in it and wish to support the company and play some (small) part in its sucess? Surely this is "better" than simply treating the stock market as a "high class" form of gambling without having any "real" interest in the companies in which you are investing.
When compiling 2.3.12 (the latest dev series kernel), I went to add the -fno-strict-aliasing but found that the makefile already tested if the compiler supports this and was adding itself. - So no edit needed.
I wonder how many other programs will show this same problem. I would be very surprised if the Linux kernel is the only thing which has aliasing problems.
Maybe AOL should adopt the policy which CompuServe, which is now AOL, used to apply. There were restrictions on what could be done with a new account, which were removed after checks etc had been made.
ppp (2.3.7) runs perfectly with kernel 2.2.6 as a module, as I am running that combination to send this. I suspect that the error message may be due to something else.

If the chip is supposed to be cheaper, why are the 820 based motherboards more expensive than those using BX or 810?

Maybe these OEMs are customers of DoubleClick or other advertising companies, so would not want to block ads.
Though there are other text mode browsers, w3m & emacs/w3 spring immediately to mind.
