Yes but THIS is THE reason linux is not ready for the desktop. Either one distro will have to rule them all with software developed specifically for that distro or applications are going to have to start compiling themselves more easily and snagging any information they need from the system on their own, without user input. Its amazing how much simpler it is to install an application when you don't have to look up all this obscure variables about your system.
Does that mean we can sue telemarketers? The last couple of years I've found them to be far more annoying than spammers. Spam is more easily blocked and can be taken care of on my time. Telemarketers though, I have to choose between getting up during dinner / sleeping to answer the phone or dealing with the damn thing ringing every 5 minutes.
I'm still glad to see some spammers in jail though. I hope they all rot in prison then in hell.
Not worried at all. The gamecube has nice graphics IMO. Also I'd imagine the GPU, while still a low clock speed, as you said isn't everything. If this newer GPU has twice the pipelines and twice the clock speed of the old one that would make it at least 4x faster than the previous.
You have to keep in mind that the hardware on the PS3 and 360 are massive overkill for the time being. I'd imagine most release games will use at best half of their potential resources.
All it really means is that programs for the Wii will have to be optimized, well all know that is a part of programming though, and by association, their jobs.
You know there are males on/. who have healthy sex lives. Like me for example. I am happily married. Slightly overweight but working on it. There are a number of females I encounter on a daily basis who don't recoil in horor at the sight of me (unlinke they would with most males on/.)
Hahaha suuureeeeeee!!11!!1
No, but seriously, I've got a girlfriend and a "healthy sex life". That doesn't mean being left handed has never come in handy. On top of that, the majority of us have not been married their entire post-pubecent lives.
Exactly. I'm a lefty. I learned how to use a computer mouse with my right hand and have absolutely no problems with it. I'm actually worse with my left hand than my right hand as I've got years of experience with it. One HUGE benefit to being lefty for any males our there. Well you know. Surfing for porn with your right hand.. You can uh, rest your left one on the desk or something.
Sure there is such a thing as too much swap. My main rig has 2GB of ram, I've never run out. I routinely use anywhere from 250-500MB of swap. This absolutely should not be. There is no reason to swap when I am nowhere near running out of an order of magnitude faster physical RAM. The best solution, disabling swap isn't even an option as many programs require it.
The same case for me. Well, not quite as extreme. I had no problems communicating with people, just girls I was interested in. Once I got their screen names it was much easier to get past that nervous hump. Which, 5 years later, I don't even have anymore.
Is this prediction really such a bad thing? Most predictions I've heard as far as the future of computing goes point to us eventually moving to solely imbedded solutions. Powerful cellphones, smart washing machines, etc. A computer chip in every device.
When you buy a motherboard, you get this thing called a "driver cd". After you install windows you put the CD in and it installs the drivers for your hardware. I've installed pre-Athlon64 copies of WinXP and Win2k on my Athlon 64 x2 rig with no issue at all using this cd. Try it.
Yes but if you invent a braking system that makes a motor vehicle stop, then get a patent for it. Then someone else goes out and makes a braking system that is different but does the same thing. In the software world you would be able to sue someone else just because the outcome is the same even if the implementation is comletely different. This is one reason software patents shouldn't exist. Someone could write a program in VB and patent it.. then someone could come and write a similar program in Java that has a completely different implementation and get sued.

Uh, I covered that. If I DONT answer it the thing rings. They also tend to continue to call back until they get an answer..

and our correct staff strength is around 13
In any case, how does one decide the optimum bandwidth required for a bunch of 15 developers on VPN and Source control?"
So after adding in your incorrect staff, you get a total of?
Comon, it says it right there. 13 correct staff + 2 incorrect staff = 15 total staff

Mod parent flamebait and/or dumb.
He said crashed. Not the last time he rebooted. You dont crash every time you apply a patch.
Its a truck, thats why they usually come by the dozen.

Madden was new once, and didn't have a liscense. Then it got popular. THEN it got a NFL liscense.
Whats to stop all these other companies from doing the same thing? Anyone remember controlling #4 on Green Bay back in the late 90s?
Look at our President, Bush. He's never been to a library in his life and hes just fine. Hes the freaking President.
:)
Oops!
I wasn't trying to sound like a troll. Really thought that would be obvious though

After you install windows
If you really need help though you'll need to explain the problem a bit more than it failing.
"But they suck. They're the slowest creakiest pieces of shit evah."
"AOL Browser uses IE."
exactly.
When you buy a motherboard, you get this thing called a "driver cd". After you install windows you put the CD in and it installs the drivers for your hardware. I've installed pre-Athlon64 copies of WinXP and Win2k on my Athlon 64 x2 rig with no issue at all using this cd. Try it.
Especially when they were exclusively Intel and the power draw of Intel Prescotts was 2x that of Athlon 64s.
17's on an SUV? Pfft its all about the 22's

Yes but IBM bought ISS so they are funding it now..
Its not the same. A more accurate comparison would be swapping the brake / gas / clutch pedal around every other year.
Right, but they could always start elsewhere. Totally scrap IE and bundle some sort of rebadged firefox with Vista.
