i think you are forgetting something. add this plz
lcd pros: sharper picture subpixel rendering (sharper text) much less eye strain and radiation silent (yeah, crt monitors are noisy, especially when you switch them on. most of the people don't hear it but some) stable picture (if you use dvi) no ghosting with modern panels
crt cons: phosphore and coil burnought - the older the monitor the blurrier becomes the picture. damn much eye strain. i used to have good crts, switched to lcds then. my eyes are relaxing. picture quality sucks in comparison to a good lcd
as i said, i used to use a crt, switched to an lcd back then when they were really expencive ($1000 for a decent 15" one). have my second one today (hp l1520) and i never ever will come back to crt because of the eyes strain
in the last c't interview, donald knuth said he preferres handwriting to typing and always handwrites the taocp parts befor he types it in because his handwriting speed is the same speed he thinks, but he can type much faster - so he doesn't come along with thinking while he types.
sure, but russian and english are both in the same language family - indogermanian. it is not too difficult to translate the sentence exactly, even with using pretty same words.
i don't know how nataliya translated the text but sometime linus' sentences are given a different meaning. the best example is imho the last sentence.
the english one:
I don't think I have any special messages at all. I think the only "message" in my book was the tongue-in-cheek "Party on, Dude!"
and here is the russian one:
I definitely don't want to give a message to anybody. The most important thing in my book is its cool ending: "Let's rock, pal?"
this is just one of many examples.
A small info: i am a native russian speaker although i live in germany since 1993.
well, I don't think so. I built 20+ systems with this board by ecs and I never had a problem. The board was one of the most stable boards I ever used - even when all PCI slots were full (firewire, tv tuner, sb live, second nic, isdn)
The main problem is, that with this board people tend to use cheap RAMs and cheap PSUs (because the motherboard was so much inexpencive) and that is what this motherboard just doesn't like.
With a decent PSU and quality RAM (and the latest bios version of course) you won't have any problem with k7s5a. For the price for this motherboard is about a half of an asus one, you'll save you more than enough money to afford these and the system is overall better.
I'll recommend you apacer/nanya memory and sinotech or enermax PSUs.
I absolutely agree on that. As I already said once, the biggest mistake was Saruman's attitude. Jackson made a joke out of a power-hungry wizard. In the books you can clearly see that Saruman plays Sauron against Gandalf and the Army of Light just for getting the One Ring and becoming the Dark Lord himself. In the Movie Saruman is a coward. Because of being afraid of Sauron he joins him, being his servant. At the same time, Saruman is the Great Enemy of the first movie and Sauron becomes unimportant.
Though cutting Bombadil and Gildor is not nice, it could be forgiven. But cutting the gift scene in Lorien is a crime! I wonder how Jackson will explain many things relating to those gifts. I really do not understand why cutting that - it were mere 5 minutes, but 5 very important ones.
I have seen the movie 6 times already and I can only say... it is very beautiful, but it isn't enough. It sparks but it doesn't catch fire. Too bad such a possibility is missed.
Maybe we Tolkien fans should stand together and create a (computer) animated Lord of the Rings how it SHOULD be and the Great Maker said it. It is possible to do that - the books specify many things very clearly. It is shown best when you download some Tolkien art images from the internet and compare them to the movie. They are pretty much alike because of that.
for some time two of the biggest german computer computer market chains - vobis and escom - had os/2 bundled with their computer. they did it because microsoft wanted dos/windows license fees for EVERY computer, not only for those with dos/windows preinstalled. of course vobis and escom were pissed so they bundled their pcs with os/2. it wouldn't last long tho... too much power on microsoft side.
i remember playing dark forces under os/2 warp with a 486 sx25 and 4 megs of ram. i couldn't play it under plain dos because the game needed eight megs and memory was really damn expencive (for me at least). so os/2 was my last hope and it worked. slow, tho, but it worked.
i still love os/2. warp 4 had a perfect gui, still the best one. maybe i'll install warp again, on an old machine. *sigh*
as i said... the language must be radically different. even better if the language has a different character (cyrillic, hirugana) so you must use unproper latin characters.
also nice if you use really nasty words (they are seldom written in dictionaries)
well it won't help you in case of brute force but it will help you in case of dictionary searching:
use a password in a different language than your main one. the target language should be much different. for example if you mother tongue is english, use a password in russian, japanese or turkish. it should be a long sentence you can memorize easily, like fuckyoudamnscriptkiddie, translate it into the target language, memorize it.
sleeve bearing is much quieter than ball bearing but coolers using sleeve bearing don't live very long. some papst fans use sintec sleeve bearing with ceramic sleeves - they are most quiet fans and life nearly as long as ball beared ones. it is also better to take bigger fans for they are more efficient and can achiefe the same airflow als smaller fans but with lower rpms. i humbly suggest to use a papst 8412 ngl fan - it is the quietest fan in that size, although not cheap. the problem with the center of the heatsing being not cooled properly because of the motor in the middle of the fan can be solved quite easily - put the fan a bit higher.
In East block communist parties the duty to carry ID and police right to identify you anytime is an obvious think. If you cannot identify yourself, the police has every right to arrest you since you just commited a crime.
bullshit. they wouldn't arrest you they would escort you to the next police office for proving your identity. if you forgot your id in your car and your car is nearby you they would escort you to your car, see your id, say that you should better not forget your id next time and let you go.

that is not that bad. in germany there are tv and radio licenses too, but the govt will extend them on a computer with internet, too because some state radio stations are in the internet and broadcast there. so their logic: if you theoretically can receive state tv or radio you have to pay. nowadays you can officially disable the tv tuner in your tv and watch dvds for free but afair next year it will be impossible.

(Cut to a courtroom. Severe atmosphere.)
Judge: Michael Norman Randall, you have been found guilty of the murder of Arthur Reginald Webster, Charles Patrick Trumpington, Marcel Agnes Bernstein, Lewis Anona Rudd, John Malcolm Kerr, Nigel Sinclair Robinson, Norman Arthur Potter, Felicity Jayne Stone, Jean-Paul Reynard, Rachel Shirley Donaldson, Stephen Jay Greenblatt, Karl-Heinz Mullet, Belinda Anne Ventham, Juan-Carlos Fernandez, Thor Olaf Stensgaard, Lord Kimberrley of Pretoria, Lady Kimberley of Pretoria, The Right Honourable Nigel WarmsIcy Kimberley, Robert Henry Noonan and Felix James Bennett, on or about the morning of the 19th December 1972. Have you anything to say before I pass sentence?
Randall: Yes, sir. I'm very sorry.
Judge: Very sorry!
Randall: Yes, sir. It was a very very bad thing to have done and I'm really very ashamed of myself, I can only say it won't happen again. To have murdered so many people in such a short space of time is really awful, and I really am very, very, very sorry that I did it, and also that I've taken up so much of the court's valuable time listening to the sordid details of these senseless killings of mine. I would particularly like to say, a very personal and sincere 'sorry' to you, m'lud, my lud for my appalling behaviour throughout this trial. I'd also like to say sorry to the police, for putting them to so much trouble (shot of three heavily bandaged exhausted-looking policemen behind him) for the literally hours of work they've had to put in, collecting evidence and identifying corpses and so forth. You know I think sometimes we ought to realize the difficult and often dangerous work involved in tracking down violent criminals like myself and I'd last like them to know that their fine work is at least appreciated by me.
(The policemen look embarrassed.)
First Policeman: No, no, we were only doing our job. Second Policeman: No, no, no, no. Randall: It's very good of you to say that, but I know what you've been through. First Policeman: No, no, we've had worse. Third Policeman: It was plain sailng apart from the arrest. Randall: I know and I'm grateful I'd like to apologize too to the prosecuting counsel for dragging him in here morning after morning in such lovely weather. Counsel: Well, I would have had to come in anyway. Randall: Ah good, but what a presentation of a case! Counsel: Oh thank you. Randall: No, no, it's a privilege to watch you in action. I never had a chance. Counsel: Oh yes you did. Randall: Not after that summing up. Great. Counsel: Oh thank you. (very chuffed) Randall: And now I must come to the jury. What can I say. I've dragged you in here, day after day, keeping you away from your homes, your jobs, your loved ones, just to hear the private details of my petty atrocities. Foreman: No, no, 'it was very interesting. Randall: But you could have had a much nicer case. Foreman: No, no, murder's much more fun. First Juryman: Yes and so many of them. SecondJuryman: Excellent. Third Juryman: We've had a terrific time. (the jury applauds) Randall: (blows his nose, does a Dickie Attenborough) I'm sorry, I'm very moved. And so, m'lud, it only remains for you to pass the most savage sentence on me that the law can provide. Judge: Well er... not necessarily. Randall: No, m'lud, the full penalty of the law is hardly sufficient, I insist I must be made an example of. Judge: Well yes and no. I mean society at large... Randall: Oh no, m'lud. Not with mass murder. Judge: But in this case, (to court) don't you think? Court: Yes, yes! Randall: Oh, come on, m'lud, you've got to give me life. Court: No, no, no, no. Randall: (to court at large) Well, ten years at least. Judge: Ten years! Court: Shame. Shame! Randall: Well five then. Be fair. Judge: No, no. I'm giving you three months. Randall: Oh no, that's so embarrassing. I won't hear of it. Give me six...please. Judge: Well, all right. Six months. Randall: Thank you, m'lud. Judge: But suspended. Randall: Oh no. Court: Hooray.

changed to a msi k7t266a pro2ru only because i needed raid and more usb ports and all pci slots were full.
this damn amr slot is really getting on my nerves - i really wish one more pci slot instead.
