newbie

I don't even know where to begin to explain how I started reading up on this, but everywhere I have looked I am getting the same anwsers. Could someone explain in laymen terms what Gram's stain is or does?

http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/G/Gramssta.asp

There are more links but it's all pretty repetitive. What would be the circumstance of having a Gram test done? What does it tell us if it is Gram-positive bacteria or Gram-negative bacteria? Is this something that is routinely done?

An interesting thing to note here would be the impulse of electricity. It is at least to be said as fast as c--or even greater.

Also there is such a think as Centrifugal force. It is similar to Centripetal Force but is a measuring of coordinates with respect to a rotating coordinate system.

Thats it! Thanks!

Whats taking so long, why do we not know what this is yet?!

Nice setup

I am running;

P4 2.8 Ghz

MSI 865PE w/bios upgrade (hyper threading lovin)

1 Ghz DDR 400Mhz RAM

Geforce 4 (*cough* crappy MX *cough*)

crappy sound card

19' Hitachi monitor @1024x768 (@100Hz)

120Gig WD Hard drive w/ 8 MB cache

100Gig Maxtor w/2 MB cache

50X generic CD-ROM

16X10x40 Plextor CD-RW

Wingman Extreme Digital JS (MS Flight Sim 2004)

Logitech Mouseman Optical (Gamer)

Logitech Keyboard

In 13 days I will still be running my slower cable modem (1.5Mbps)

I am thinking of making another comp just to run all my video equipment. Also looking to add the lite-on LVD-2001 to my Home Theater setup. With the ATI you have does that come with the remote to use for a media PC?

I'm not sure where I can post this so here it goes.

I've been looking for this for awhile now and unable to find anything on it.

Does anyone remember reading about an unknown or undetermined spices found somewhere in Asia that they had to call in other scientists to help find out what it was? It was said to may be a squid. (this is not the one about the colossal squid this one came after) I read it on Yahoo and I think Reuters but cannot find the link anymore.

Anyone got any rigged components? Home built PC's? Rigged home appliances? Universal serial cards? How about a discussion on Intel VS AMD? Mac VS PC? Any over clocking skills?

Maybe this forum should be removed.

Then why quote my other post and not include this one?

 

I don't particularly like Microsoft (and may I say that the post was written with a certain amount of irony in mind - after all it is a beta), but I was simply trying to point out that in my experience OS X has been stable. There is no need to bite my head off for saying such a thing.

I did not see the need to recap your posts. That is why I did not add the last quote. I saw sarcasm in the post, but like I said if I was wrong I am sorry--besides that it's alpha not beta.

I was not "biting your head off" I was just returning the sarcasm.

It wouldn't surprise me. Microsoft at its best again

Well reading that quote looks like you are "attacking the stability of any certain Microsoft products".

But if you are not then I apologize--please disregard my post.

Thank you, thank you thank you; thank you and thank you again!

Has anyone had any experience with the alpha builds, I ask because a new build (M5/4015) has leaked out and I was thinking about installing it to a new HD. If anyone has any experience as to the stability, I'm trying to find out if it's at all usable before I put myself through the torture of finding a viable download option for it (P2P is out, no one has it, and IRC is a nightmare because no one can send faster than 3-4kb/s, and thats after numerous hours spent in the queue).

Well it seems to run like an alpha. Not very optimized but still stable. IRC is pretty much the only reliable way to get it right now. Bit Torrent is better but I haven't found LongHorn on it yet.

I've been using OS X for about a year now and I think the only time that it's ever crashed has been when I loaded a dodgy kernel module.

Ever here of Windows 2000 Advanced Server? Or Windows 2000 Data Center? Or maybe even Windows XP? I have used them all and don't crash. I might get an error from a faulty app but don't blame that on the OS, it is always running smooth.
