Firefox is not bugfree -- it leaks like a sieve (or "fragments"), chewing up half your RAM. Funny that. I have a Logitech G-15 Gaming Board. I can see my memory usage 24/7 and I watch. Yes Firefox uses more of ram, than say IE or Opera. and it's been detailed how to address that here on slashdot in the about:config function. But to keep it short I have never seen any evidence of a memory leak in Firefox 2.
Am i the only one who thinks these people got too much time on their hands and some cash to burn? I dont know about you but i can think of much better ways to spend money. Some things people do just amaze me and make me ask why?
Why would this cost any money? Send it up with the next crew have them do it during a scheduled break. And why? Why did you make paper air planes as a kid? Why do people put their lives at risk attempting land speed records? Why do people spend entire life times creating single works of art? Why did Shepard hit a golf ball on the moon?
It's part of human nature and I for one think it's fantastic.
Maybe when you can see the world in analog colored glasses will you see the awesomeness in such things.
Point is.. You and I (and most people on this site, i imagine) earn more than the average person.
Must be nice to elevate yourself and the group to such a status. I can assure sir there are those of us that do not harbor such fanciful thoughts about our incomes and those of our peers. I'm sure there might be financial factors at work that cause a lot of people that visit this site choose Linux or pirated copies of Windows...
I don't think Levi maintains separate lines. They are just down in quality across the board. I like a loose fit, so I buy a size or two bigger. But the last 4-5 pair I've bought are damaged within weeks, degraded to "work pants" status. After that it's just a week or so before they are in the garbage with broken belt loops, torn asses, or rips up the legs. However, I have a pair of American star, or some shitty brand I bought at Wal-mart 4 years ago I still rock, the denim is nearly twice as thick as current levi's... Sure they got a whole in the knee, but sometimes I like to crank up Nirvana and laugh at the emo kids.
So I dunno, maybe I shouldn't buy my Levi's from Macy's? Target? I mean come on, if I can't get a decent pair at those stores. Then I'm moving to a different brand.
Vote with your wallets, etc etc... I've been having fun writing my congressman any all sorts of issues that bug me. The trick is to talk to them how they want to hear it. I'm in a republican dominated state, Idaho. So obviously I need to point out this another instance of the federal government usurping power from the states in a thoughtless and wreckless manner. There are many angles to every issue now matter how liberal theres always a way to put some, eh... spin? on it so that those least likely to listen just might pay some attention.
There is nothing, I repeat, nothing natural about smoking anything. Thats pretty much the opposite of nature.
Yes but that does not mean nature has not put in place mechanisms for dealing with particulate inhalation. Granted we probably over doing what our bodies can handle by many times over. The fact of the matter saying smoke inhalation is completely unnatural 'or the opposite of nature' is a little short sighted, yo.
That being said one can always make use of marijuana in other more controlled ways.
I was looking at this in Firehouse. It's interesting. But I wonder are our utilities set up in the same fashion? ie are our utilities hooked to the 'net? I'm fairly certain the answer is yes. as I can recall reading articles years ago which talked about this very thing. But I would like to know for sure, because aside from billing what business does a utility have conntecting critical infrastructure to the internet at large? I mean I understand billing... but that should be wholly separate from critical networks, and as a government granted monopoly they can easily raise the funds needed to run a fully separate network for whatever mission critical needs they may have.
Every sony product I buy eventually shits... Remember the PS2? I remember a buddy of mine going through 3-4 of those during the systems life time. Granted he gamed to the point of unhealthy. The fact of the matter is, I put no faith in the quality of Sony's hardware.
There are many 'dead end' gene sequences that don't decode anything, or anything useful. That we currently know of. That's not to say we might find a reason for all those seemingly benign DNA sequences in various species.
And, also, don't flash from within Windows (even if the utility says you can do it).
True that, but since I haven't had a floppy drive since 2001 I am kind of curious how I'm suppose to update my board. Works fine, but if they ever release an update to support the Phenom (I use a msi K9n4-sli), I'd love to know how to avoid digging up an old Floppy drive and having to violate my poor computer... Any ideas?
Every rare now and again we also get in a drive that has a problem with a particular manufactured CD, usually because the hub diameter is juuuust a little too small and the slot loader can't release the disk from its hub lock when trying to eject it. (makes the drive strain, and then accept the disk back in, so it works but you can't get it out)
Offtopic I know, but I've had that happen in so many car audio decks, thanks to you I finally understand it!
It don't happen much these days, except with most discs I buy from Hellcat Records...
Seriously if you can't open your drive with a screw driver and take the damn thing out, you have no business using a computer. Wait these are Mac users we are talking about, never mind then...
I can remember taking apart a PS2 drive that had lost a couple teeth on one of the gears used to drive the laser back and fourth. Just busted out some old drives from the closet, finding the gears to be too big to small etc, well the teeth were the right size. A couple snips and good use of epoxy later, unbricked that ps2... For a little while at least.
The point is it was fun, getting drunk with my buddies and working with what we had. And if we were doing that back in our high school daze, I can't imagine a grown ass adult too scared or too retarded to get the damn disc out them selves.
I remember years back watching a Dateline or some such nonsense on UL. Long story short... They are not worth the ink used to print their logo. Just a case of too much to do and too little time. This could of changed by now. But I really put no stock into UL certification.
This is the perfect computer for all my late night Jolt Cola fueled mis-adventures on the internet! Too bad it couldn't do like new cars and react to the physiological changes that occur as you fall asleep...
That being said I used to have this rugged steel AT case I modded to support my ATX SuperSocket7 motherboard... The mods including kicking the shit out of it while it was on to prove how older tech was more rugged. Long story short that damn thing gave one hell of a jolt any time I touched the metal... It was awesome getting people to turn that bitch on!
Ah, so you're "innocent until proven guilty if you've got an extra $500,000 lying around"
Actually in most areas, if not all, you merely have to pay a percentage of the bail amount set by the judge. I believe 10% is the going rate. I'm from Oregon where they don't have bail bondsmen and you simply pay your percent to the jail itself. So I'm not sure how the rest of the country operates.
Besides, next time perhaps they'll fly a FedEx cargo jet into a nuclear reactor containment building, or a LNG transport, or a chemical plant.
You sir are obviously a terrorist as that is ingenious, and as such, information of that nature should not be disseminated. Therefor I propose a secret flight to secret places for you and your family!
but it does not suck as much as most people imply.
True that... I grew up as Java was being introduced, it was horrendous. Now not so much, but I still try and avoid it when possible just due to those early high school age experiences.
Chrysler? Really? Those god awful cars that drive by my house... You see I don't drive. I've been eligible to drive for over 8 years, I have only had a car for 6 months of that time. It's tough, but I am firm believer in public transportation... But Chrysler? Really... You sir, are gross.

Amazing I wasn't aware of this before. Risks be damned I want some of that substance... For research of course!

You're kidding right? You did notice I use an SLI motherboard? Perhaps that means I like to play games?
