<0> Because people are starting to retire now and in 7 yuears it will be 2 retirees for every new hire.
<1> OcDoc: He's in Barksdale? The info I've got says the place is almost deserted.
<2> whats with these chinamen not using american currency as their reserves anymore?
<0> Do the math follow it to its logical end.
<3> rcklbstr: he says "normal deployment"
<1> OcDoc: For what?
<3> presumably they send the replacements before they pull out the advances
<4> that would be more a Tuergical item
<0> We are in danger of having too little unemployment, and thats hard for a lot of people to understand because its counter intuitive, but trust me it is dangerous.
<0> Basically full employment means there is no job competition
<5> pil dont you mean a turgid item? oh wait.. on second hand.. flacid
<3> Rocklobster: I interpreted that to mean they're rotating the planes
<4> Lupine at one time, I was somewhat humm "known" in certain circles
<6> FT: dude, here in Calgary there is an acute labor shortage
<1> OcDoc: What's his rank?
<0> It means people are people plucked out of colleges before they graduate or offered jobs as soon as they graduate.
<3> Lupine: flaccid ... 2C's
<3> rocklobster: he's a crew chief
<0> Swigert, It causes inflation
<0> It is not good.
<6> FT: tell me about it
<1> OcDoc: My neighbor's brother is a seargant over there, and he hasn't had cl***es to teach and normal stuff that happens for over a month. He was curious, so he talked to his CO's and they breifed him a little bit, saying they were moving people to Diego.
<3> rcklbstr: doesn't mean it's true ... just that they would be doing it under cover of normal operations
<5> ocdoc: i leave it to your expert, um.. experience ;-)
<0> IN a free economy if 5% of the work force isnt moving around it means likely shortages. I dont know at what level it becomes a crisis but clearly 3% would be a crisis.
<7> freetrade is wearing liederhosen
<6> FT: even the fast food places are offering $10/hr (US$8.60)
<1> seargent, even.
<3> Lupine: I am an expert on flaccidity
<6> FT: and they can't find people even at those wages
<5> ocdoc: we know, we've heard the stories!
<6> I used to work for C$11.28 and was happy
<4> I see that hotel in Mecca is still colapsing
<0> I can get $150.00 an hour and people will say wow good for you.. NO not good for me, because it means the rest of the people are losing buying power and they will stop hiring people like me.
<3> rcklbstr: wouldn't that be the way they would do it? under cover of normal equipment rotations?
<7> Philips Electronics hopes in about two years to introduce a high-definition television that can play 3D content, CEO Rudy Provoost said in an interview at the Consumer Electronics Show. The technology is in the labs at Philips and not yet being shown publicly.
<4> Free yep
<1> OcDoc: I'm not military high command, so I don't know. But it does gel with something that hit the german press on December 30th.
<0> Whats good for me is a robust economy with sufficient labor and no shortages.
<0> I dont want high unemployment either,
<4> the whokle idea behind Hi Def and digital TV is simple: to obsolete every TV in America and FORCE people to buy new ones
<1> OcDoc: http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/0,1518,392783,00.html
<0> I think between 4-5% is probably ideal unemployment.
<3> rcklbstr: I was out there on a visit and got to sit in the left seat of his B-52 while the shuttle landed piggyback
<3> ty
<0> Pilgrim My Freaking Monitor is HD!
<1> OcDoc: Take it with a grain of salt, of course.
<0> I wasnt looking for that
<0> but it is.
<3> Der Spiegel is a usually reliable source
<0> the movie quality is great
<7> ocdoc is unreliable
<4> Free my TV is a CRT and I am NOT going to be buying some damn new tuner to deal with broadcast digital stuff
<0> I need to buy another gig of ram and another harddrive now that I think about it.
<4> I will just not watch it
<4> simple
<0> I should order it asap
<1> OcDoc: The intel that I'm getting through my lines say "they haven't said anything really, but things definately look STRANGE over there."
<4> why asap?
<5> pilgrim: of course, why bother? hack yoru newton to provide as a high-def decoder
<0> Pilgrim whats PCI Express ? Is that PCIe ?
<1> OcDoc: If it was a normal deployment, I doubt he would have called his brother to ask if he heard anything in the news.
<4> its MCA redo
<0> I need to buy my son a graphics card for gaming.
<4> its EISA lite
<0> I think my old box has agp
<4> its NuBUS with a twist
<0> actually I can find out what it has, brb
<7> pilgrim wears a burlap sack
<5> but all FT neeeds to know is, its the mainstream market replacement, "upgrade" to regular PCI
<3> interesting article
<4> yep
<0> Will a PCIe card work in a PCI slot ?
<5> pil: btw, for multi channel aquisition systems.. the PCI-e is a god send over the regular PCI.. as previously, you had all the PCI slots, ATA controllers, network etc.. all hanging off the single PCI bus
<5> FT: nope
<4> I am sick of "upgrades to BUS, memory, and the like that are only done to obsolete what we now have
<5> pil: what was in a dire-need of an upgrade, is all common chipsets to have multi PCI bus controllers.. instead of hog-tying it all thru one
<0> Ill tell you in just a second what kind of thing it has on my other computer soon to be my sons
<3> FreeTrade: something interesting happening concerning Iran ... have you been following rcklbter and my exchange?
<4> lets go SATA. the drive size is bigger...uh no...is faster...uh no...Uses a smaller wire and THAT is an improvement
<3> rcklbstr
<5> pil: and only one drive per controller!
<4> Lupine yeah. great
<5> pilgrim: i always built off of systems with PCI-X.. with its seperate controllers/buses.. it was generally much more responsive than a system hanging all on one PCI controller.. even with the same components
<3> patient
<0> Here is the Card which came with the computer: NVIDIA GEFORCE 2 MXMX 400 <- Video adapter, graphics card.
<4> so my G5 has a kludge arangment with a PCI ATA 133 card to get more room
<5> yea well, blame apple for having such a frigging m***ive case with stock provisions for only two HD's :P
<4> yep
<5> a case like that should be able to mount like 8 drives easy
<0> Video Ram 32 megs
<4> Free AGP?
<0> Pilgrim I dont know I am trying to tell without taking the box aparty YET
<5> FT: it is probably a AGP, but maybe a PCI [ no E ]
<6> only way I'm getting a new PC is if I win the lotto
<4> PCI Express has technical advantages yes, but most boards, most mobos don't take advantage
<5> pilgrim: on my aquisition systems.. having seperate controllers for each card slot made a big difference in improvement
<4> Lupien rememebr the ISA bridge?
<0> Yep Its APG
<0> AGP2X
<5> pilgrim: yes/no. the individual slot isn't any faster in real terms.. but when you are using the bandwidth of several components at the same time.. then you see it
<0> Max Data width 32 bit ?
<4> Free PCI-E is faster and WAY more $$
<4> I like PCI (no e)
<0> Yeah But I dont have a PCIw slot on my box.
<5> with four ATA/133 drives, dual giganetes, four high bandwidth aquisition cards, firewire/usb2 all hanging on one PCI bus.. its as silly as having a 8 SCSI-320 RAID on a single PCi card..
<6> I'd love to go up to my local computer store and have them custom build a super gaming machine
<4> AGP is sort of like an old PDS slot on a Mac
<5> pil: yep.. even have ISA breakout boxes
<0> And I have read that AGP still just as good unless your a fanatic, they say as long as you have a refresh rate of 60 times a secong the human mind cant tell
<5> alot of industrial controller cards are *STILL* ISA... and let me tell you.. PCI to ISA or Firewire to ISA boxes **** the big one
<4> Lupine I have a few ISA boxes I still use for special stuff
<0> And I was reading that some AGP were good, I was looking at a 256 mgb AGB I think it was GEFORCE
<0> IN fact every article Ive read on graphics cars says dont overspend..
<4> Free the big game machiens are now PCI-E
<5> pil: sure, if each PCI component was on its own controller :P there were some like that, btw.
<0> Its paying for **** your mind cant see anyway
<5> FT: well, only if you have the fastest processor will you probably notice any difference
<5> AND play the latest games
<0> Yeah I know the new ones are PCIe
<7> An Italian court is tackling Jesus -- and whether the Roman Catholic Church may be breaking the law by teaching that he existed 2,000 years ago.
<4> Lupine yeah, the days before Northbridge
<6> but if I had a supergaming PC, all I'd do is play BF2
<6> redfish: so does that mean God will just disappear in a puff of logic?
<7> Cascioli says Righi, and by extension the whole Church, broke two Italian laws. The first is "Abuso di Credulita Popolare" (Abuse of Popular Belief) meant to protect people against being swindled or conned. The second crime, he says, is "Sostituzione di Persona", or impersonation
<0> Lupine, The nerds said that you need a 500 mhx clock speed and compatibility with Something 9
<5> lol.. there are gaming boards now with two and four PCI-E graphics cards that can run in tandom
<0> Its a windows thing
<4> I don't play many games, I don't do graphics stuff. so, for me a EGA card woudl do ;)
<5> DirectX9 ?
<0> And that for under $200.00 you can get as fast a card as you need to run any programs or see anythings which with some graphics cards you cant see.
<4> or CGA ?
<0> Yeah DirectX9 capable is a must they all say
<4> both my hi-end Macs are using bottom of the line vid cards
<0> You know its like buying the $1000.00 stereo system and the 50k, I cant tell the ****ing difference.
<7> freetrade the advice is also dont buy integrated chips
<8> FreeTrade: you can get a decent mid-ranged video card for $150
<7> cards
<4> my clones all have re-flashed PCI cards (Matrox VoodooIII, and radius)
<0> Redfish what do you mean by integrated ? YOU mean on the system board ?
<7> graphics card integrated on the motherboard, which is common on laptops
<0> I think I will get an AGP card
<8> FreeTrade: but if you don't play video games, getting even a mid-ranged card can be overkill depending on your needs
<4> if you ever need ROM images of older onsolete vid cars, I have them
<0> Redfish, Yeah that doesnt apply here.
<5> pil: well, that's only because if you spent the $$$ on the top of the line vid card that Apple offered, it _was_ close to the bottle of the line video card :-) [ until just recently, thou ]
<0> I was lucky the other day and I found a very hot according to experts card which was AGP I think it was Geforce for around $200
<7> A 76-year-old performance artist was arrested after attacking Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" _ a porcelain urinal _ with a hammer, police said.
<0> You can pay $600.00
<7> Duchamp's 1917 piece _ an ordinary white, porcelain urinal that's been called one of the most influential works of modern art _ was slightly chipped in the attack at the Pompidou Center in Paris, the museum said Thursday. It was removed from the exhibit for repair.
<5> pil: Voodoo5?
