    No sorry, battery data is not read only ... Have anywhere that says that laptop batteries are read only ?

    Same thing happened to me 60 cycles and a healthy battery died after upgrading. The replacement from the manufacturer died as well, went from new to 0 battery charge capacity with 0 charge remaining within 2 weeks *sign*.. I've given up and just started using ubuntu on the second replacement and it's been working fine.

  3. Re:Still? on LHC Reaches Record Energy · · Score: 1

    Having trouble reading your own work ?
    "Yesterday evening the Large Hadron Collider at CERN for the first time accelerated protons in both directions of the ring to 1.18 TeV. Even though the 1 TeV barrier per beam was first broken a week ago, this marks the first time that the beam was in the machine in both directions at the same time, allowing possibly for collisions at a center of mass energy of 2.36 TeV" That whole statement is demonstrably false.

    Not the 1st time the beams have been accelerated in opposite directions at 1.18TeV.

    Again, your summary is wrong.

    Maybe you don't understand the physics, at least follow the cern twitter more closely.
    "Last night the LHC accelerated both beams to 1.18 TeV with 2 bunches per beam for the first time."

    Now.. lets look at the other 1.18 run..

    A new record. Both beams in LHC reach 1.18 TeV at 00:42 on 30 November.

    Go back to school, news here is 2 bunches at 1.18..

    The summary is also dead wrong ..

    1.18 TeV with 2 bunches per beam for the first time.

    That is the achievement. Nothing do do with the fact that they are in both directions since that was the case the last time.
    Counter rotating beams are a regular occurrence since shortly after this phase of commissioning started.

    OpenSolaris 2008.11 runs great, the timeslider is a very useful feature as well.
    zfs is quite easy and more reliable than a raid 5 setup.

    http://breden.org.uk/2008/03/02/a-home-fileserver-using-zfs/ is a great guide to help you out. I get 45MB/s read and write from a dual parity array with 4 640gb drives. The cpu isn't the most powerful but it gets the job done.

    Ok, so they need to manage "congestion", so why is it a hard cap of 30 KB/s on downstream instead of say 100 KB/s?
    And this DOES have something to do with their video site, you're launching a bandwidth intensive application which will be used during prime "congestion" hours. Disgraceful.

    Ok, how do you upgrade your kernel without rebooting ...? "If you have to reboot, then what happens is that the system, together with the applications, takes a snapshot of the state: the way things are on the screen at that very moment, and then it just updates and restarts the application, or in the case of an operating system update, it will bring the operating system back exactly where it was," Allchin said. Nice try though, kneejerk linux reaction as always.
