1) 8.4 TFLOPS lets you find the sum of 4.2+4.2, 168 trillion times a second. And from the kernel compiler's PoV, it only takes a second to compile the latest 2.4? (I haven't compiled one in a long time now, so I don't know)
2) 170 TB can hold 42.5 thousand times the contents of the entire Library of Congress books.(+ all the MP3s you downloaded ) The whole Internet!! Download the whole Intern... (I'm pretty sure this is getting old:)
3) 1 TB of RAM may let you run as many as 13 Windows applications simultaneously. And if I set that up as a RAM drive, I get to try several games in RAM without ever touching the HD! (ok, maybe the registry) If I like it, I'll really install it on the HD.
I could've sworn that they were installed by default, since my friend asked me once why his computer kept rebooting. I told him about the CodeRed worm and showed him how to uninstall the IIS he had running on his Win2k.
So, either it is installed by default, or he doesn't know what it is and installed it (probably the Internet Info Service gave it away). Either way, it gave me the impression that it was installed by default.
As for Win98FE, I was very sure, since I had to install it on a machine at work, and in the custom installation, it had that thing checked. But then again Typical != Custom so...
Ok, that's it! I'm installing that MS Free Friday module on my Apache!:)
Of course there are enough of them. IIS is installed by default on WinNT and 2k. I think the Win98FE (yes, 1st ed) installs the personal web server by default as well. These don't count towards the netcraft survey because it was not requested to check on those computers. And then there are commercial sites that were also not included in the survey for the same reason.
I'd usually do that too. In fact, if my Netscape had actually crashed in a way that Windows didn't detect any problem yet, but Netscape didn't go to any webpage, I blamed the website first, thinking it might have been/.'ed, or just plain s-l-o-w. It wasn't until I tried to go to another webpage that it hits me it's my browser's fault.
all these broken Web sites with screwed up HTML (tables especially - ugh!), JavaScript, and especially anything that's intentionally IE-specific deserve it.
Agreed! In fact, these are the only reasons why IE is still on my computer.
If web developers would care to view their webpages in other browsers, most of these problems would have vanished.
I came across an Apache module once - the MS Free Friday module, which disallows viewing any pages on the server using IE on Friday. Interesting, and I guess this is a way to fight back if you own an Apache web server.
So if you walk down the street with one of these gadgets, you'll know what PC the house has? Cool! Makes breaking & entering much more profitable for me... err, i mean, burglars:)
Have you tried this against one of those 900MHz or 2.4GHz cordless phones as well?
Other than that, simplicity of implementation. I can knock out a bubble sort without thinking, whereas anything else requires actually looking something up.
And figuring out the differences (features, [dis]advantages)between all the other sorting algorithms. I had an algorithm exam (sorting was one of the sections) 3 months ago, and now I can't remember what the difference is between insertion and selection (again).
Also, bubble sort is the first algorithm anybody would learn (except maybe those advanced kids), and probably the most "memorized".
I've installed TightVNC at work so that I could connect from home. There's that delicate balance between bandwidth usage and fast processing speed. If you set the compression too high, it takes a while to receive the screen updates (limited by cpu). Set it too low, and it takes a while to receive the screen updates (limited by bandwidth).
Oh, did I mention I installed it on a P2 233? Slow as hell over the Internet, but a bit more acceptable without the zlib/jpeg compressions over the 10mbit LAN. I've used the zlib (pure) encoding with maximum compression over the Internet and it's acceptable (on cable anyway).
But it ain't better than terminal server or XP remote desktop;p
Yeah, well considering that TS only runs on the NT OSes, and *VNC support more, I'd go for *VNC.
Internet Explorer needs Offline Browsing as part of the download package, even on custom install, it likes OB with IE and tells me that I can't deselect OB.
I distinctly remembered that happened before, but I'm not sure if I was comparing 5.0x and 5.5, or 5.5 and 6.0. It got me so annoyed that I downloaded the earlier version.
Can't verify it right now... maybe later when I'm at home.
a file is simply missing; you may be able to isolate the problem to the specific file and reinstall it (this is common and most often the result of uninstalling applications)
Yes... a bit annoying. I once found out that it had removed my animated icons from the default installation (installing on blank hd). I looked through the extra components in the Add/Remove control panel but I finally had to manually install it from the CABs.

Hell yeah... I thought the CodeRed was supposed to go to sleep after September 2001, but I'm still getting these attacks.
One problem. Clip will still talk to you in English (thank God!), but Pikachu might keep telling you to Pika Pika Pikachu.
There are Voyager fans who kept it "alive" at Voyager Virtual Season Project.
Nice.... now if the heated water can be used for fish farming, like those close to the nuclear plants...

I don't know why Slashdot is still talking about DOS
Oh, but they did a few days ago (even though it's only a poll).

Peanut butter & spaghetti? I think they used rice noodles (vermicelli?) in Thai & Vietnamese food.
I dunno... maybe it's just me.
Hmm, how about an adult version for peadophiles on parole?
Aren't they using that for abusive husbands and such but using a foot ring thingy?
But if you wet a towel and wrap it around the watch, you'd loose the signal.
(Oh I'm sorry. I just recently rewatched Total Recall)
and if we call different flavors of Linux "Linux ME" and "Linux NT", we can have "Linux CEMENT" in no time!

They'll probably have more terms, like "Working 9 to 5" for 2000, "Retired" for 4000, and say "Old and gray" for 8000? :)
His wire-all-the-schools-for-internet was also a trojan horse.

So that's where the spam is coming from.
It's the latter. You're the star of the Truman show. Oops. :)

Alright!! I can finally download the whole Internet and browse offline! :)
Ok, I don't know the size of the Internet. I'm just guessing...
a car parked next to you that won't be there when you're elsewhere, etc.

I hate to imagine that when I drive along a straight road, my compass direction suddenly changes when a car drives past me

Other than this little "bug", I love 98lite.
Bad idea... it'll bsod (or in this case kernel panic) linux when you try to use it :)
