It would be Eptium, not Septium. Decium does not necessarily skip a generation if you include Pentium M in the line, which they pretty much deserve to be a generation by themselves (given the differences in architecture with the rest of the pentiums).
So Decium it is!
Instead of a cumbersome set of multiple controls, we are experimenting with a single two-axis controller, one axis controlling acceleration and braking in the up-down direction, and the other controlling steering in the left-right direction. Gear shifting is mapped to the start and select buttons. We're experimenting with a number of control devices, from the Power Glove to GameCube controllers as input effectors.
Do you mean you are experimenting with driving a car using a joystick? And how many of you "researchers" will it take until you realize that the so called "two-axis" however you call it driving system is not intuitive?
Come on dude, you are either somebody falsely claiming to work in the gaming industry or you guys are totally in the wrong research direction. Just ask yourself how many gamers would rather play Project Gotham using standard wheel and pedal controllers than the lame default joypad and joysticks.
I agree. Especially the mini series had some of the best space battles ever shown on TV and theater.
George Lucas and the like have a lot to learn from BSG's space physics model and cinematography...
Haha, this guy's claim is so preposterous that the mod thought he was kidding!
Unfortunately the guy is 100% serious, and he got a totally undeserved 5 funny.
Somebody pls mod him down to -oo troll...
Ignoring man-in-the-middle attacks for the moment, what you are suggesting greatly reduces the security
of the password system. Now an attacker does not need to employ phishing. He onlys need to obtain your
telephone number or other personal information and guess only 3 letters of ur password. Obviously this qualifies
as a WEAK password.
The password should be something only you and the system should ever know.
Reducing the length of the password and using personal information (that may be available to attackers) to add some entropy is dangerous. If one suggests using the Social secuirty number, I would simply answer:
great...we used to have a password system under which if one password was compromized, only the account associated with this password is compromized. What u suggest is allowing attackers to compromise one number and get access to all your accounts.
Now if you consider man-in-the-middle, your answer is in the other reply, that has been moded 0 by an ignorant mod...
It is still a correct answer though.
Well, they are indeed incorrect. No dictionary has an entry for them and the only occurences you get when you google them are obvious typos in the case of Britian and writings of idiots in the case of Iserail:).
Nothing for you to see here. Please move along...
My bad, Britian and Iserail are actual valid alternative names. Weird though that you used them and more
weird of me not to know that they are correct (to my defense, english is my 3rd language).
You live, you learn:)
You really meant Britain and Israel? There was no hidden spelling joke?
That's weird because the rest of your post appears almost 100% correct dictation-wise.
If indeed there is no joke behind your spelling, and with no offense intended, you must have a unique case of
selective (only for country names) spelling disability.
I guess mods think that this story became much more interesting now than it used to be back on nov 21 when I first submitted it...or perhaps my title was not catchy enough.
You must consider your self very lucky you don't get fiat, lancia and alfa romeo. I mean these cars are as unreliable as it gets, although alfa has a performance and style edge that may make you consider it.
On the other hand french cars including renault have prooven to be pretty reliable, cost efficient, decent performers and with very good road behavior (better than most japanese, little less good than german). I believe the american consumer should have the choice between them and I do not understand why they are not imported here. Someone has blacklisted France is my...wild guess.
Skoda used to be a chezh company, producing crappy LADA-like cars. Yet it is currently under the VW group, and consumers
appear to be very happy in every respect with them, plus their price is very good because it is a newly marketed brand.
Read the academic paper (letter) not the announcement on A&M's site. The announcement is most likely not written by the good professor himself. The paper on the other hand, although it is a first draft and in the form of letter appears well written and substantiated.
And a professor of EE in Texas A&M is a good enough title to provide credibility, I mean come on dude, we read hundreds of bogus articles on slashdot posted by ignorant journalists or wannabe patent owners and you raise an issue of credibility
regarding a professor in one of the top 50 schools in the US?
You could outfit 1 out of 6 people in India for an outlay of $200 million bucks
So that you increase the number of computer literal people from India to which American jobs can be
outsourced:). Now I know what is the real motive for big corp. to help the OLPC project...
Thompson says: "That said, on the Windows side, it turned out that no upgrades of IIS were needed (except for patches) and SQL Server was upgraded to SP4 as part of patch application."
So, during their study, windows-based systems did not need to upgrade anything more than the SQL server. However, linux-based systems required upgrading glibc.
They study the overall maintenance cost of a windows vs linux configuration, during a certain period of time, under their specific business requirements. And in their study, for windows the cost includes only updating the SQL server while in linux much more. This fact by itself, proves their point (according to the study) that linux maintenance is more cumbersome.
How difficult is replacing "kernel.dll" is irrelevant. A conclusion you can derive from their study is that one of the reasons windows is easier to manage is because "kernel.dll" is not usually included in the regular updates an admin must make.
I have not rigorously analyzed their study, so I don't know whether their assumptions on maintenance requirements are valid. Yet we need to set facts straight and emphasize that the study does not compare how difficult updating system dll's vs linux libraries but on what was in overall the windows load on the administrators over the period of their evaluation.
I haven't STFM (Seen The Full Movie) but from the title, I guess it is not only Star trek's spoof but
Babylon 5's too ( Babylon 5: The Gathering/In the Beginning).

So Decium it is!
Why? You've guessed it : because it's a PENTIUM ! No, BECAUSE it's an INTEL!

Damn, you stole my joke :)
I guess there is no need for a water cooled XBox 360 there...
Yonah, Conroe, Merom. Need more?

Sounds nice... but does it run Linux?
