Most OSes will recognize more than 4 you just have to put the processes/threads on a different processor, but not all hardware will support multiple procs (obvious), so you get the hardware that can support multiple procs and your OS should recognize them (up to a certain point > 4). This is nothing new.
So he charges $2.50 for each person in a lecture, say you have 100 people in the class and about 25% of them actually purchase the download. That would be 25 people @ 2.50 a pop for a total of 62.50. Now for every transaction he "pays" $1.50 to the hosting company (why he doesn't just host the mp3 on the university site is beyond me, except that they probably wouldn't support/condone paying for this). So that leaves him with $25 in his pocket per lecture. At 3 lectures a week that's $75, or roughly $1200 a semester. You expect me to believe that his costs are $1200 a semester. That's total bullshit. He is making money off of this. If I were a student I would record the sessions and undercut his price by half. You could sell the mp3s for $1.25 and get roughly $1500 a semester, that would pay for most state tuitions.
You would think by now they would have replaced the QA department or partner up with another security firm that can double check update before it goes out the door.
This is so since these are the only two money makers for Microsoft, the rest of their 'diverse involments' lose money hand over fist
Care to back that up with some numbers, because I'd be willing to bet that products like Visual Studio, which range in price from $300-$800 garner *SOME* profit, or perhaps their multitude of hardware products like mice and keyboards, and perhaps the licensing fees of X-box games. In fact, I bet *MOST* of their products lead to profit, which is probably why they have a gross profit of $9,000,000,000 as of June 2006.
Anjuta is one of the best Linux IDEs I've had the pleasure to use, it is intuitive and easy to use. Kdevelop, on the other hand, is a piece of crap and I would gladly use pico instead.
I'm glad you appreciate the humor, but seriously it is PHYSICALLY possible to store that much electricity, it's just not PRACTICAL. But you have to allow for the possiblity of technology to overcome this problem.
Agreed, the contractor totally took advantage of the situation that the FBI didn't know how to build/design a proper system but also failed to point that fact out to them. This is complete negligence and they should be held accountable for the money, it is pretty much robbery at this point.
It's amazing how fast a paper trail can be lost, accidentally or on purpose... at least with a good computer system (emphasis on good) the data can be reproduced or a finger can be pointed at the person responsible for losing the data. Plus cross reference is a bitch with paper.
One person just can't accomplish that kind of violence with any kind of weapon short of a gun
I Dissagree, you can make explosives with household chemicals, or use a vehicle and plow over a bunch of people, or even a large knife. I can be extremely violent with a garden hose... Violence isn't limited by the "caliber" of the weapon, only by the intent of the user.
This saves the overhead and nuisance of instantiating an object when I don't want to have anything to do with that particular instance
So you are complaining that you have to create an object in an object oriented language? Sounds like you want to use non-OOP programing languages... Oh BTW you can call a function in C++ without creating an object first, you only need to declare it as static.
Owner sees news article about Win98 end-of-life, gets mildly concerned.
Except the owner never sees the article, and even if they did... they don't know win98 from a hole in the ground. All they know is they turn on the computer, and it works (or not).

They changed out the proccessors and they worked, this is news how?
Jokes are supposed to be original.
That's a great one, thanks I needed a good laugh!
Ricky-Bobby, is that you?
Or have your power button put the unit into stand-by...

Start Programs Accessories System Tools Backup I know that was a little hard to find, but it is there

You can't really store electricity
Sure you can, ever heard of a leyden jar, or perhaps the modern day capacitor. Welcome to electricity!
should be required to return all the money
Agreed, the contractor totally took advantage of the situation that the FBI didn't know how to build/design a proper system but also failed to point that fact out to them. This is complete negligence and they should be held accountable for the money, it is pretty much robbery at this point.
paper trails are nice

just reply with any example
That information is classified
Amen to that, iTunes is a piece of overbloated crap.
what the city really needs is a protective force field that is impervious to water, perhaps someday it will become the new Atlantis!
If only we had the ansible, then you could have an interstellar frag fest!
It's like having all your funiture from a company that sells it all in what can become one, giant set
So apple is like IKEA??

Mac: Hi, I'm a Mac
PC: Hello, I'm a PC
Mac: I can cook an egg!
PC: You must think you're hot shit
Mac: Yes, yes I do
So because of a 1% decline in the GROWTH of the market, pc sales are suddenly in a downward spiral?!?
Sounds like sensationalist press to me.

Increased demand for Linux on the desktop? Highly unlikely
I totally agree, if they haven't switched yet it's not going to happen.
