No More Rebooting?
blankmange writes: "This headline caught my eye: 'The End of Computer Rebooting.' Seems that there has been some new developments in memory technology: The new thin-film technology that could give rebooting the boot is based on resistor logic rather than the traditional transistor logic used in most PCs and other memory-enabled devices. It also is considerably faster than current memory systems and holds the promise of reducing the time required to transfer and download multimedia content and other massive files. This is great news, but what am I going to do with the extra hour or so a day?"
friiiiist
how are you gentlemen. i am fine. hi.
Hi. I'm The_Fire_Horse , and you might remember me from such postings as 'How to get the most from Windows 2.0' and 'Why does uncle ernie pat my bottom and smile a lot'
Ok - this is a serious situation, but you have to keep calm. Remember, you are not a weird pervert , and the trick is to concentrate on something really unsexy so that the erection goes down. This is NOT a situation that you can just 'wank your way out of', and trying to squeeze butter in there is not going to help either (you really should've thought of that first, young man!)
Think of your old maths teacher, your english homework, the smell of your shoes, the shit stains on your grandpas underpants - anything until it goes down.
Whew! You did it. Well, I think we've all learn't a valuable lesson from this, and remember - DONT PUT YOUR DICK WHERE IT DOESNT BELONG, but If you do - grease it up FIRST.

I understood why you enjoy page widening. You want the same to happen to your ass, right?
And I also figure that each time when Jamie (He's so cute! I love him) patches the IE bugs, you
regard this as if he's denying good sex, right?
Well, you really suck (literally), and I don't like you. You should be ashamed of yourself.

But now thanks to a little something called the resistor, I'm looking at gaining that hour back... only now, I don't have to wait until I'm old to use it!

The last time I rebooted was because I thought it had died. Turns out the battery drained when I left it on overnight plugged into a deactivated outlet.
And by the way, I run buggy Microsoft programs, betas, shareware, DivXes--so it's not like I'm not using it. What's the point of speedy boot times when I'm not rebooting? Viva la OS X!
i think you broke the intranet
go to your room you naughty boy!
Where do you live, why is energy so expensive? Do they burn hippies for power there, can I move there?

well, the parent said this:
I have to back that up. Granted, I've had problems with it on Win2k, nowadays it works like a charm (very mysterious since I've only installed new games and silly stuff like ADSL).
Linux is way, way behind Win2K and WinXP. Too bad some people's egoes are too stuck up where the sun don't shine to admit it. I have much more respect for people who run Linux because it's Free Software (as in GPL/open source). Generally, Linux is playing catch-up when it could have been superior. It's just a matter of standardizing the platform (APIs, toolkits, wheels) a bit more. But how do you do that when everybody is working on their own thing? I think Linux is great when you want to learn CS, but it's not for the common man yet.
It's a bit unfair to bash "linux" though. "Linux" is doing okay, it's a very nice performing kernel.
