    [NEWS] - Bungle Blows $400M In Taxes

    But how do you justify an exponential growth in cost in comparison to workstations? Workstations increased by 30%, but cost increased by 100%. I could see the cost increase caused by the ridiculous rate of MS software. If the entire environment were switched from Windows 98 to Windows 2000...

    The SCO Debacle

    There have been several articles written about SCOs recent Rambus-like legal haranguing techniques. One article I found of interest regarding this topic: _____________ Technician, Steal Thyself SCO, Not IBM, May Have Put Unix Code Into Linux Instead? By Robert X. Gringely JUNE 5, 2003...

    NASA expects that it was the T-seals that span and seal the tile joints at the leading edge of the wing that failed. At least that is what the most recent Aviation magazine menioned.

    Good. I'm glad they're staying around in this capacity. It will certainly add to the market's competition.

    Would you care to elaborate? Does this include other webhosting data centers, or more of a private involvement on the part of other individuals or yourself?

    Nice picture Steve, sorry to read about the PSU. I had a similar situation recently where a customer had two identical cases with matching power supplies, and both failed. The second one unfortunately killed the motherboard. Your father was let off easy.

    Budget upgrade challenge

    Going the original nForce route with the Asus A7N266-VM with an ATI Radeon 9000 64MB makes a great budget combo. You get LAN, Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio, and good video. You can use the onboard GeForce 2 graphics if you prefer, but I like the ATI hardware better. This type of setup has worked...

    Thanks for the link Dogman and thanks for the editing Howell. One thing to note in Dan's article, he says that the 8-bit bus was extended to 16-bits. It's important to note that the interface actually supports to busses, there is the 16-bit bus, plus an additional 8-bit bus. The 16-bit bus is...

    Sounds nice Andy. A while back I had purchased a pair of Beyerdynamic DT831s and they feel the same way. I can wear them all day! Its nice when you can listen to music without other people hearing your music or you being able to hear them. :)

    Barracuda 7200.7 : significantly cheaper than other 7200rpm

    In particular, WD has been producing two types of BB drives. One from the normal family, let's say a WD2500BB and then another family with the same performance, but only a single platter and a different family name - usually these weigh less too. So in this case, you would get a 80GB or 40 GB...

    F---! California passes Net Tax

    The connection is a bit more indirect Mercutio. Many of the large distributors such as Ingram and ASI are in the same vicinity as newegg and mwave. But of course, ASI and Ingram are there because of the Long Beach harbor.
