Sort of like all those heat pipe CPU/GPU heat sinks. Xigmatek and others make these with a liquid inside that will move inside the heat pipe to transfer the heat away from the heat source.
I sort of thought Apple, and everyone else was already doing that. The cpu heat sink on my 4 year old dell has heat pipes.
If your motherboard supports it: use a USB header off the mother board and an expansion slot. Leave the USB expansion slot inside the case (secured by wire tie). Plug in dongle. We do this a lot at work for people. We have had to call Dell or HP to get the USB expansion slot a few times however.
2003 version of office runs good too. All but access works through wine. I even connected to an exchange server with the outlook running through wine. I need to install a few fonts then everything was fine. 2007 added some fonts. Needed to add them to get everything running fine. Without that outlook complained when it got an email from outlook 2007.
Only using one OS would be a bad idea. One OS == only one thing to crack. Better off using a mix of a few operating systems. harder to take down all of them with one single hack.
On an interview (so nothing was signed) we talked about having 6 different computer systems that needed the info from each simulation. The data had to be in 6 completely different formats after each run. None of the systems were windows.
In the DOD offices maybe there are windows machines. In the research/test areas I'd be surprised if there were windows based machines.
I see graphical artists loving this. Same with the video editing crowd. They actually did combine two video clips (the big yellow truck and the person with the snake) in the video.
This looks almost too specialized. for everyday tasks, reading and typing this looks like it will be too much. Then again with all those movements no one will have flabby arms.
Would it have the same effect on smaller screens? If all those screens were regular 19 flat screens would it work the same? Does one need a big screen to allow that much range of motion for the commands to work?
I have had my Q6600 running at 4GHz for three weeks 24/7 on air. 4GHz is not that hard. The system didn't crash, everything ran fine. I didn't have to turn the heat on for those three weeks either, but cranking a 2.66 GHz to 4.1 GHz is going to create more heat.
It did take a bit of tweaking to get it there. But I did it, and now it is running back at stock speeds. This machine is a my DVR it doesn't need to run at 4 GHz to record TV. Yes I have a much less power hungry system on order. I was just testing things out with what I already had. The biggest gains I saw at 4 GHz were: boot times were faster, got higher CPU scores on benchmarks (3d mark etc), not needing to turn on the heat for a while.
It is free, I have yet to have it not play an MP3 or DVD. It plays most (if not all) video files. There may be some new video files that I have not played, but all the.avi,.mpg,.mov,.wmv play fine that I have tried. It works under linux, xp, vista, and OSX I believe too.
Now watch Apple, and microsoft change their video files to not work in VLC.
Where do you live? I have yet to see on a written test for a driver's license that you needed to change a tire, check or change the engine oil. On the road test, I have yet to see anyone pop the hood. Most people will ignore the check engine light until the car will not move or is making sounds that cannot be drowned out by the radio.
It would be a great thing to have them on the tests but I have yet to see it. I have moved quite a bit, so I have had to take the written test a few times when I turned in my old license for that state's one.
Maybe since one can change vista to look like XP? The classic interface.
I have deployed over 20 vista machines with the classic start menu and only one person asked why the log on screen was different. They did not ask for any other question. These people have already seen office 2007 on XP so that was the same. these are not major computer programmers or engineers. these are regular secretaries. They use the computer, as long as they have their email, web browser, and can open the documents they are happy.
I did deploy three linux machines with crossover and office 2003 installed. Those people were a little more confused. Once they knew where to start the applications they knew they were fine. So I would say that as long as the OS can run the applications the users are used to, those users could care less what the OS is.
Wasn't witchblade a tv series for a while? I sort of remember that character name and that hand gauntlet being on tv.
My picks would be: Akira - the carnage factor can be great Ghost in shell -for comedy relief they could put in Keanu Reeves in as a cyborg, just tell him to act normally Wonder Woman - if the right lead
Too much CGI in the Ghost in Shell movie would be just like the anime Ghost in Shell movies. So, just make a full CGI Ghost in Shell with voice overs and be done with it or make a regular movie and keep the CGI to a minimum.
That bring up another thing: is it more costly to make a movie with a lot of CGI or a full CGI (or animated) movie? Full CGI no risk to the voice over people, their salary should be a lot less then a regular movie. Most likely cutting off a large audience since those people will never go watch an anime or cartoon movie though.
There is no anti-trust (not yet anyway and I have no crystal ball for the future and my magic 8 ball keeps on giving me a blank side) Open-GL != direct 3d or direct X. For some reason microsoft went with direct X (they made it that maybe why) instead of open-gl for the 3d parts of the desktop. If open-gl would work under vista which it doesn't that I have seen. I tried it with a open-gl screen saver. The fireworks one looks like stop animation on vista with a 256MB gaming (gforce 7800GTX) video card. With xp or linux it flies. Simple test but it shows how screwed up vista is with open-gl. from what I have seen, the 3d stuff on linux is open-gl. Which is fine, it works and looks good. The newer gaming titles do not use open-gl which is why a lot of gamers bitch that linux is not good for gaming. Can open-gl do all of the shading and 3d stuff that direct X can? I would hope so, I have not seen it to know.
The intel graphics in question (915 chip set) are not a high quality 3d gaming chip set. Intel wanted vista certification. I never saw that chip set being certificated for running 3d games. Running a web browser, spreadsheet app? sure. Running the latest 3d shooter? no.
Open-GL graphics work great under linux. Who ever at microsoft decided that Open-GL should not work on vista should have been tarred and feathered. Using the same drivers for the desktop as gaming sounds good on paper but is a bad idea in practice. Why use all that horse power to display a web browser? 3D gaming on intel graphics is not that good. The 915 chip set it is really poor under linux and xp. That intel chip set was the one that a lot of computers came with when vista first shipped. later chip sets are better but the 915 chip set was not a 3D chip set.
If you need windows, unless the machine is a 64 capable dual core, 2GB RAM, and a 256 MB 3d video card, that machine is an xp machine. Those specs are the bare minimum for vista in my book. Most people get an 80GB+ hard drive nowadays for a home or business PC so disk space is not an issue.
The US should not depend on The Russians for the ISS or any other space satellite program. There is nothing stopping the Russians (or any other nation) from say sorry, too busy or we do not want too. And leaving the US high and dry.
I bought an asrock for a Pent D 805 to test out the over clocking I could get on the that CPU. I had stable to 4.3 Ghz on air. Granted the air cooling also used a floor fan, but it was stable. The funny think was the motherboard liked every linux distro I tried. The same cannot be said for the Asus, Gigabyte, and Biostar motherboards that I have tried. Something came up that made ne switch to a different distro at install with the other brands. I figured with the AGP and PCIE slots the asrock would cause more issues.
Wouldn't the new shape be more likely to create noise? Subs want no noise at all. If the shape could change on the fly, smooth and slower to sneak up while rough and faster to get away.
See how long the secret union vote stays in effect. The union want that gone. If the secret vote is gone, the union leaders will know which people voted for and against what the union wants. Talk about peer pressure. Ever go to a union meeting? At the meeting may people are cheering on the union. then vote against what the union wants. Take away the secret voting, those same people may not vote against the union.
I know people in a few unions. This is what they are being told. Most of them are really scared. Not all of them have the skills to go to a new job or the funds to go out on their own right now.
The dell precision line might be better for making 3D animation since they come with the quadro line of video cards. I am hoping this makes dell drop the price on their orange or M6400 one since when spec'd out it cost like $5000. For an all around kick butt portable desktop either of those look good on paper. I'd like to see how they hold up after 3-9 months of use. The dell interested me with the quad core cpu, up to 16GB of RAM, and the 1GB video card. It is not an extreme gamer machine, but it should do most things well. Now if I could only get it with 8GB of ram for $2300....
Anyone watch the news and see all the stories of the happy people who say that they are are finally on equal ground? The people saying that now they can be anything they want to be. Why they sudden change of mind? People were not thinking that way before? Those people who were thinking that because they are of a certain race (or not a different one) they are limited to do this small list of jobs are only defeating themselves. Why couldn't they think like that before the election? It is sad, truly sad. Those people were keeping themselves down and not realizing it. All the kids saying that now that can be anything even president, they always had that choice. They, like everyone else, has to work for it. Not everyone is born into huge piles of money and has everything they want handed to them.
90% of Obama's TV ads were paid by labor unions. Why would labor unions want Obama elected?
For those that are in a union you know that secret voting you do from time to time. The labor unions want that to go away. They want everyone to know which way you are voting. So peer pressure will play a role. This is a very bad idea.
Do you actually think that if Asus, Gigabyte, AMD, Intel, Nvidia, HP, Dell, (enter in name of other big computer or computer part company) asked microsoft for a copy of windows 7 they would not get it?
Microsoft most likely emails/mails them a copy of the major release builds. What the other companies do with it is up to them.

If the virtual machines are still buying licenses, why would microsoft care? VM microsoft licenses are the same as main OS microsoft licenses.

Do you actually think the DOD only uses windows?

That was his work week. I remember George saying "these hour long work weeks are killing me".
But yes he did press that button the whole time though. And often his "button press finger" was swelled up.
And now I feel very old and stupid for remembering that.
Install VLC.
It is free, I have yet to have it not play an MP3 or DVD. It plays most (if not all) video files. There may be some new video files that I have not played, but all the .avi, .mpg, .mov, .wmv play fine that I have tried. It works under linux, xp, vista, and OSX I believe too.

Spoiler alert if you haven't read/saw Akira
I thought Akira was split up into little pieces (at least in the anime I saw. He did sort of come back to help the the other guy with similar powers.
Anyway, watching DiCaprio being vivisected alive would get me into a seat at the movies.
