<0> damn fookls
<1> Its like Ward Churchill.
<2> Yeah. Poor baby. Here you are attending one of the finest learning institutions on the planet, one that draws students from dozens of countries around the world, on the taxpayer dime. You're so ****ing oppressed. Boo goddamn hoo.
<1> That son of a bitch has less indian in him than my kids great great great great grandchildren will have.
<1> I dont care so much about his idiotic ideas, I care about his fraudulent application to be a professor, he lied.
<2> Pickle: worn by people whose own tribes may have warred with the Blackhawks at one time or another. :)
<1> And he should be fire for that reason alone
<1> fired
<0> tenur
<1> Pilgrim tenur supposedly doesnt cover fraud
<1> like you dont really have a bachelors even
<1> or you said you were an expert because you are cherokee
<3> FT: he should be arrested, IMHO..
<1> and you 'aint'
<1> hehe
<0> He and Ted Kezinski can open a new school for leftist thought
<1> Arrested might be a bit overkill but a civil suit and firing is appropriate.
<3> also, sued in court to return all the taxpayers money, ill-gotten gains
<1> INdians distance themselves from than nutty white boy.
<1> than = that
<3> FT: no, arrest him and charge him with everything possible to set an example
<0> Free I am not a Egyptain, but I am somewhat of an expert ont hat subject. in a small way, but...I never CLAIMED I was Egyptian
<1> Damn the weather sunny, Rainy, Calm, ****ing windy with the gate slamming
<1> I better close that damn gate
<1> brb
<2> Freetrade: I do care about his idiotic ideas being injected into academia.
<4> apples announcements today were boring
<3> Man, the new quizno's sub is so damn good.. peppercorn prime rib..
<2> The reputation of universities suffer by keeping people on board whose primary function is to be ignored by serious academics. In addition to being a waste of resources, this defeats the purpose of higher learning -- which is to separate the academic wheat from the chaff, not to pretend like there is no distinction between them. Keeping people like Churchill on board damages the whole raison d'etre of academia.
<5> One of my girlfriend's degrees is in "native studies". It didn't take her long to un-learn all that bull**** once she got a job as a reporter, doing the court gig every week.
<1> Help me with this one, but I just went outside and it was very sunny and at the same time POURING rain
<0> boring? you mean a new cheap PC and a Boom box are not TECH(tm)?
<0> yer right redfish. boring
<3> redfish: yes/no. at least the macmini isn't so boneheaded stupid like the previous one.. has analog/digital inputs/outputs, good expandability, comparable hardware speed specs in line with price
<1> Well Atually I think I know the answer directly above me was the sun, and blowing from the south was the rain sideways onto me.
<3> pil: heh, the boombox doesn't even have tweeters :-)
<3> the macmini is what it OUGHT to have been, feature wise
<4> well its just an intel mac mini , its nothing unexpected. thats why its a boring annoucnement. apple was being secretive and promising fun new products making hype
<1> Well ****, the SF Bay Area Droughts are over for good, 10 years we sweated it, No more.. We get plenty of water every year now it appears
<2> I mean, if Churchill and, say, Milton Friedman, truly are equals in the eyes of academia, then can we at least drop the pretense of the university as an academically selective institution?
<6> lou dobbs is kicking ***
<6> susan collins not toeing the party line
<3> redfish: well, the previous one was castrated hardware, so in a way, this is a good sign, i.e. apple not intentionallly castrating features from the lower price line
<1> Disco damn right.
<3> as now that they're on intel, they can't lie about the cost of features, when its um, known already built into the cpu/chipset/etc :-)
<3> previous, they could lie "oh.. couldn't put digital input/output.." now its "hey, company A/B/C has the same chipset.. and they offer it"...
<1> Its like Berkeley, You take its physics dept or even the H*** School of Buisness and compare it to Berkeleyes Sociology department and its like idiots to genius on the scale of academic intelligence, achievement and ability
<3> so in a way, it is a fundemental paradigm shift for apple _computers_.. they can't castrate features from systems and get away with it anymore.
<1> Berkeleys.. Too many typos
<4> lupine its a better product yes . i was just talking about how apple was being secretive and building up hype for some fun new product, and it turns out to be something expected. its boring as an announcement
<3> ah.. berkelys physics department is like idiots to berkeleys sociology geniuses?
<1> 3 e's not 4 ;)
<1> Reverse
<1> haha
<2> Im a little tired of all the emphasis being placed on the word freedom in the phrase academic freedom. Its as if people forget the first word of the phrase is academic. Academic freedom is not a carte blanche to attach the credentials of the academy to any stupid theory, belief or utterance no matter how untentable.
<1> But you knew that
<3> redfish: oh that.. yea.. 50% of the time its a real yawner
<3> FT: i was about to say.. Berkeley's got a perfectly good reputation in physics.. no need to smear it by comparing it to their sociology department!
<1> Redfish what do you think about 6 versiosn of longhorn OS to be released ?
<3> redfish: i take ti for granted it will be a letdown
<3> Freetrade: nothing new really
<1> versions even
<1> Really ?
<3> hell, it is less than what is currently offered :-)
<1> Used to be windos 95 then 98 then me
<5> Hah, Bolton told the UN to shove their "human rights council" up their collective *** unless some controls are put in place to keep dictatorships off of it.
<1> and if you ran NT like me it NT 3.O , 4.O etc
<2> Im a little tired of all the emphasis being placed on the word freedom in the phrase academic freedom. Its as if people forget the first word of the phrase is academic. Academic freedom is not a carte blanche to attach the credentials of the academy to any stupid theory, belief or utterance no matter how untentable.
<1> but they were totally different products or mostly different.
<2> OK, I'm done venting.
<7> pickle rofl. wonder if the NYT will change their minds?
<5> Bolton was probably the best appointment Bush has made during his Presidency.
<4> there were many versions of previous windows . it wont be that important people at stores will maybe have 3 versions to choose from
<4> previous windows products
<7> they just ran a story last week saying he was doing a good job
<1> This will have like one OS for a home user with minimal needs, One os For a media junkie
<3> Current Windows hmm.. XP Home, XP Media Center, XP Professional, XP 64bit professional, Server 2K3 small business, S2K3 regular, S2K3 enter prize, S2K3 data center.. then S2K3 regular 64bit, S2K2 enterprize 64bit, and S2K3 data center 64bit
<1> One os for some other reason
<4> lupine, XP Tablet Edition
<4> you forgot
<3> so, for the US market alone, there are 11 versions.. oh yea, XP tablet, and XP embedded
<2> http://www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp?ID=1535&NEXTID=0&PREVID=0&DISPLAYORDER=20040818101229&CAT=tvads&NSFW= <==== best TV commercial EVAR.
<3> so, 13 versions so far :-)
<1> Lupine but the difference are night and day right now and yet There will still be windows enterprise servers 2003 running
<2> FreeTrade, you need to watch that.
<1> I dont think they are replacing that
<2> it's feckin' killer.
<1> Disco Ok
<4> XP starter edition
<4> which you only see in third world countries
<3> FT: well.. XP and S2K3 are the "same" generation
<3> redfish: yea, and XP-N which you see in europe
<4> the XP 'N' editions which EU is forcing them to make
<4> yes
<3> hahaha.. yea, and they sold what, 5 copies of XP-N?
<1> They all will support either 32 or 64 bit wont they ? Thats where I ****ed up I should of bought a 64 bit hardware architecture.
<3> XP-neutored
<1> hehe looks like my old hood
<3> FT: not really.. unless what you are doing requires 64bit.. you wont see any real speedup.. and there is ALOT of headache involved, drivers etc
<8> ive never had any problems with 64bit at all
<1> hahahaha
<8> no driver issues or anything
<3> thrasher: and I bet you bought the system specificly for hardware drivers.. I mean jesus, alot of new computers right now, not everything on the MB is supported
<1> Lupine yeah I suppose, if you have all 64 bit **** though your computer races a lot faster
<1> Runs a hell of a lot faster
<9> yeah!
<1> but yeah you are right, it will be down the road when most stuff runs on 64 bit
<3> FT: i can't think of a single thing one would be using 64bit for, aside for some very specific scientific work
<3> and of course, enterprise level servers, etc
<3> but for a workstation/home computer? naw..
<1> Lupine my understanding from e-tech is that its a hell of a lot faster, more so than adding ram or a higher Ghx processor
<1> ghz
<3> FT: only if what you are doign *requires* 64bit to do its job
<1> But yeah who needs that kind of speed you have a point there.
<3> FT: its like saying, a flatbed semi is faster than your pickup. Well, only if you need to haul more than you rpickup can carry
<1> yeah
<10> who needs more that 640k of ram
<3> IF it fits all in your pickup.. the pickup will be faster all around.
<7> the problem with all this speed is going to be keeping things cooled off
<3> heh.. my Opteron systems are frigging outrageous how much heat they generate
<7> most boxes come with two fans now
<3> CB: well, most dells, and that type stuff often have 4
<3> one power supply, one video card, one CPU and one ch***is fan
<7> wolfy don't they have a new fan out to .. its silent and a lot more efficient.
<5> Two ch***is fans are not uncommon.
<11> http://www.compfused.com/directlink/1245/ <-heheh
<12> CB...celebrities would like that
<12> ohh ch***is fans
<7> plus I think its just a matter of time before they redesign the layout inside the box for more efficient air circulation
<13> I have two ch***is fans and a thermotake. noisy for sure but I rarely it 30c
<3> CB: they have.. actually, most PCI-E based computers are on the new layout
<12> my server box has four case fans
<7> yes fans are much too noisy
<3> cheap fans are.. but get some good panaflows or adda's
<7> what is that new fan .. its silent and more efficient?
<12> relatively quiet
<4> herpes as left
<3> they've had quiet fans for ever.. but people dont normally wish to pay $100+more a system just for quiet fans
<5> I have an exhaust fan installed in an unused rear expansion slot.
<12> ohew...CDC alert is lifted
<7> the new fans sit on some magnetic field or something I think
<3> I have all my cmoputers in the rack.. with a big old 12" exhaust fan to the addict :-)
<5> Lupine: I've avoided them as I've heard they tend to die.
<5> Especially on power supplies.
<3> pickle: naw.. panaflow's are like industry type fans for medical equipment, that PC hobbiests "discovered"
<3> I was using peltier coolers before any of the PC overclockers knew what they were :-)
<14> tsunade
<14> hmmm
