We have this radio that belonged to my grandfather. No idea what the real brand is. It says Sears Solid state on it. We use it as a beach radio. The antenna lost the end section. We took it to a repair place for a new antenna. No luck getting the antenna. But the guy offered us $1000 for the radio. He said it was from the 60s one of the first non tube radios. I know my grandfather had this for years. I do want to change the paper (yes PAPER) speaker to a better one but the size is hard to find. It still works. I added some tin foil to the antenna to pick up more stations. Yes it now looks ghetto. But it is funny that this old ass radio still works while a lot of our friends replace their radios ever 1-2 years.
How would an ISP determine this? Is the ISP going to have to look at what you are downloading to see if you P2P is legal? It is a lot easier for the ISP to block all P2P traffic then to see if you are downloading a Linux ISO or mp3 file. Then again what is to sop Sony and the rest of the *IAA groups from sending letters to all the ISPs stating that these ranges of IPs have been downloading their content. Accuse first to get the downloading stopped then show proof later. I hope it doesn't happen but someone will do it at some point. By me, Cox is pausing my network connection all the time. I only run the P2P when I am downloading something. When it is done I shut it off. (Linux ISOs and other stuff that is listed as free is legal to download) And for days with no P2p running my net connection gets paused. Not for long usually 1-3 minutes just long enough to time everything out. I have called and all I get is there are no outages in your area. It is a pain but DSL costs more and no fiber connection for my area.
IBM is forbidden from making a desktop computer. If it wasn't intel would have never gotten started. IBM tried making desktop CPU's for a while in the early 90s (my 486dx Cyrix CPU had IBM stamped on it). But they stopped. I wish the law/ruling would be go away now. Intel is big enough to have extra competition. AMD would be in big trouble though if IBM entered the desktop CPU market.
Isn't intel's new quad (the one not released) going to be the same as AMD's quad? AMD has an on board memory controller so will intel's new quad line. Intel did that due to the memory issues with multi CPU (each being a quad core) systems. The on board memory controller fixes the memory issues. Why do you think there are not too many multi socketed quad core motherboards.
Is it going to be up to us to let google have access to our information? Or up to the health care companies? Last I checked health care companies use your health information all the time. Your personal info may be removed but weather you are over weight, have poor/great eye sight, broken X number of bones, other statistical health info is often handed out. Who says that the personal info is not handed out, but just removed for the final reports. I am not trying to feed the tin foil hat folks, but a lot of this information is handed out all the time now. Where do you think all those reports about smoking, cancer, etc. get their information from?
Some ATI based cards work but not all. I found it easier to install with one card (non ATI), add the ATI card then run the ATI linux drivers off AMD/ATI's site. I still had to edit a config file (80% of the time) to get it working. Ati still has some way to go. Ubuntu was better it. Just not perfect. The drivers from ATI's site do help. This doesn't help if you using a laptop unless you can change the video card. Which most non high end laptops it not an option. I haven't even seen a mini PCI/PCI-e card for sale.
That is exactly what microsoft does. They have already upgraded their servers to 2008 (or whatever it is called). They didn't upgrade the desktops? That would seem strange since they eat their own dog food for the server side.
You still need to sign in to the apple store. Even if you have never purchased any music from the apple store. You can't sign in to the apple store without giving apple a credit card. This really annoys me. I have not purchased a song via the apple store. So I need to sign in to the apple store to look up the song info or re-rip all the CDs again.
Better off backing up you music collection from the computer (tape/external hard drive/DVD/copy songs to ipod when disk ipod disk access is turned on/to a second computer via network/) then trying to recover it from the ipod. Can you turn on ipod disk access after you lose the computer where that ipod synced if it was not on in the first place?
n the, pay (just for ADSL) about £25 ($50US) a month for 20GB/month download / unlimited upload, pay £1 ($2) per extra GB you might over.
Most companies would switch the upload and download figures. Give you unlimited down and limit the up. Sending info to you is what they are good at and have been doing for years. You sending stuff back over their lines is not what they want.
Though the graphics card you are using does everything you want it do. The newer cards from both ATI and Nvidia are lower in power and heat output. Well, unless you over clock them.
Has anyone let the index thing finish? It has to suck while it is running. When (does it finish?) it finishes then see how the computer works. If the index kicks off every time you add files, then yes has to suck. If you can tell it to run when you are not using the computer (and stop when you start using the computer) it might stay out of your way.
Does most popular mean most watched? I thought a different 'sport' had that title? The one where some people drive 'cars' really fast around tracks. And a lot of poeple weatch it at the track and on TV.
Other then the commercial or news highlight I have yet to actually watch nascar or any other kind of car race (morning/evening rush hour does not count) I thought it was title the most watched sport in the world?
Most popular == most watched? or Most popular == most money made by a sport?
A lot of companies pick microsoft to work with other companies that are already on/using microsoft. have you ever tried asking a company that is paying you millions to send the files over in this format? IF you are getting paid, you usually conform to the one paying you. If you don't they have the option of going else where. You can alway go a step further by doing what they want and also give them other options. Same result different ways. It is more work, but the people paying should like it. They get exactly what they wanted, and they get to see thrt there is another way to to this that works and it costs less.
If the death penalty was ever implemented correctly it could be a deterrent. I.e. If one knowingly, willfully, purposefully murder someone the punishment: they get killed.
Does this mean if you kill someone in a car accident will you get the death penalty? Well did you go out looking to kill someone with your car? If so, then yes. The time frame from sentence to execution should be like 3 months at most. People can be on death row for 10+ years. That would should make most people think twice before killing another. For those who do not care, well they are going to kill, be caught then be put to death themselves. For those unable to tell the difference, (the actually people with untreatable mental problems), decisions have to be made. Put them in a place where they cannot harm others (and themselves) for the rest of their lives. Or, for the cold hearted, give them the same punishment as the rest for that crime.
Punishment should fit the crime. Life in prison != killing someone.
The results development that was done still goes into the next version. So those costs are not totally lost. Just not recovered for a longer amount of time.

The teenagers will just run their P2P apps on the school's computers.

Maybe Apple should document these keyboard shortcuts. It'll help more people new to OSX. Which could get more people using OSX.

I'd love to see the "I'm a Mac.." Commercial with the Mac guy switching into/having a PC and Linux guy.
It could be funny. It would be true. Never happen, but would be good to see.
Comparing something zipped to something fully expanded. And is emacs == as visual studio?
On a side note it is so cold that that the super high end gamer rig could be over clocked even further.

I don't know if I should be scared of the the girls in your country or look for a female bodyguard there.

running a website != running a data center A room full of web servers is a very different animal then a room full of data base servers.
Google has been number 1 since 1997?
A lot of companies pick microsoft to work with other companies that are already on/using microsoft. have you ever tried asking a company that is paying you millions to send the files over in this format? IF you are getting paid, you usually conform to the one paying you. If you don't they have the option of going else where. You can alway go a step further by doing what they want and also give them other options. Same result different ways. It is more work, but the people paying should like it.

They should just rename them selves to DAMMIT already. Props to the person who thought of it originally.

We don't until we find the really big reset button.
