size, new apple price, street price 512, 75, 50 1gb, 325, 85
So looking at the 512Mb price, for the extra $25 it's probably worth the convience of having it preinstalled.
But then look at the 1Gb price, for only $10 more than the apple 512mb price you could have 1Gb, AND a spare PC2700 256Mb to stick on some other machine.
Can't do accelerated 2d operations, but the parents are talking about how the basic GUI is now using OpenGL etc to do fancy 3d eyecandy, and this you could do on a Voodoo2
enabling creation of the world's first half height size drive suitable for desktop computer installation.
and
Half height size capable of installation in desktop PCs. - Realization of the completed prototype by integration of all the functions compactly including the 3-generation compatible optical head. - Reduction of the size to meet those of the average current DVD/CD compatible drives through the development of a compact circuit board utilizing 3-generation-compatible system LSI.
No, dumping is when you sell goods in one market at a significantly lower price than what you sell in another (typically home) market.
Real only had one price as far as i am aware.
As for whether you can sell music below cost, how do you determine the cost of each song you sell? Once the cost of producing and marketing the album have been covered, each additional copy online is almost pure profit.
Would not be at all surprised that rumours including the name were around 2 months before public release when he registered the domain.
Think about all the software developers and interface designers that worked on it, then all the marketing people... i just spent 6 months in a leaky boat...
Normally pressing the eject button in mandrake will unmount and eject the disk, using the supermount removeable media kernel driver that mandrake maintain.
I couldn't find any links to my drives on the desktop or elsewhere, and so was unable to get the CD out (not counting rebooting or command-line unmounting which are both unacceptable for a modern OS aimed at the public).
Did you try pressing the eject button on the CD drive?
I release that might not be obvious for a seasoned linux user, but for the rest of the planet it is.
Mandrake has had supermount for removeable media for a long time now.
Well as we all know, when it comes to benchmarking a new processor, there is no better test than the distributed.net RC5/OGR client.
Here is what a SL-5000d gets (same processor as SL-5500)
[Feb 28 03:35:45 UTC] OGR: Benchmark for core #0 (GARSP 5.13)

So it's approximately double the speed on RC5, but about 25% slower for OGR. Wonder what the cache sizes are like, i bet the OGR core is bigger than RC5
A Web server is also quite useless without any clients to browse the information it provides.
Does that mean a webserver is peer to peer?
No.
A fileserver is quite useles without any clients to store files on it and read files from it.
Does that mean a file server is peer to peer? No.
Peer to peer means you have peers communicating with peers.
In seti you have a massive specialised central server and you have clients. The clients aren't at all a peer of the server. It's client/server computing not p2p computing.
Seti would only belong in the "P2P realm" if it was P2P and it's not!
And yes of course, we are talking about increases in annual sales, pretty obvious i would have thought.
Here's a real example: According to the RIAA, in 2001 Music DVD unit sales increased by 138% to 7.9Milltion. Music DVD revenue increased 137% reaching $190 million compared with $80.9Million in 2000

how about a sharp zaurus, with a CF VGA adapter plugged into a bigger LCD screen, a big IR keyboard, an externall NiMH battery pack, and an IBM Microdrive.
Only downside is you can't use the microdrive and the vga adapter at the same time, if only there were a large storage solution for the MMC/SD slot. Oh and the drivers for the VGA card haven't been released yet.

Um, the Voodoo2 couldn't do 2D at all. It was a 3D-only add-in card that used a video pass-through cable. You still had to have a normal video card.
Wasn't designed for 2d, but that doesn't need to stop you using it as one.

It's an ARM CPU, not a .NET CPU.
It loads ".NET Embedded" from firmware.
This is like saying an iPaq has a WindowsCE CPU.
Opps, drop the trailing /

Well except for that whole Altivec thing.... (re G3 vs G4)
it's doesn't need 64bit on a PC, why would it need it on a Mac?
The studies done for the orignal macintosh that came to those conclusions was for first time computer users.
Which is quite understandable. But most people these days aren't first time computer users, hence the popularity of multi button mice
Have they broken eject in the latest mandrake?
Normally pressing the eject button in mandrake will unmount and eject the disk, using the supermount removeable media kernel driver that mandrake maintain.
Well the installer is perfectly capable of calling "/usr/bin/eject /dev/x" or similar all by itself when it needs to change CDs.
/usr/bin/eject if PPC linux distributions don't do that already?
As for macs, why not map the CD eject button on your keyboard to
I couldn't find any links to my drives on the desktop or elsewhere, and so was unable to get the CD out (not counting rebooting or command-line unmounting which are both unacceptable for a modern OS aimed at the public).
Did you try pressing the eject button on the CD drive?

Mandrake has had supermount for removeable media for a long time now.
Same price as the 12" powerbook, same or better features, half the weight.
Sweet, now if i can just figure out how to cleanly cut the mouse button on my powerbook into three, and have it still work.
Hmm well it's been a long time since i did chemistry at school....
You got it right cept no one calls the new ones AuBooks or AlBooks.
Maybe now that AlGore is on the board the name AlBook will take off?
The AuBooks do
(they make them from aluminium now and the 12 and 17" models have bluetooth built in)

Seti is plain client server.
My seti client doesn't talk to your seti client. They both report back to a central server.

ok, lets say in 01 they sold 200 DVDs. Then in 02 a 200% increase would be 600 DVDs.
unless of course someone exploited an ftp security hole on redhats mirror server and put the tampered ISO and MD5sum there.
the music DVD market is growing at like 200%
