Re:Return policy /biased reviews

On: A Look Inside Newegg

Believe It!

Newegg edits your reviews at will. I gave 4 stars(eggs) to a popular Gigabit Ethernet Intel Nic with high jumbo packet support. It didn't have an option to connect a led to it. Hours later they posted my review but bumped it to 5 stars - at least the text was unchanged.

I'm sure similar stories of edited or deleted reviews occur daily.

I've had a pretty good time on qwk and my plan is outstanding for the fee I pay. Only 250 for 500megs and 10 gig/month transfer.

They're also primarily run on linux if you're into that thing..

Re:Hyperthreading on Windows

On: Ars Technica on Hyperthreading

Not Quite.
From hyperthreading.doc "Windows 2000 Server does not distinguish between physical and logical processors on systems enabled with Hyper-Threading Technology"

Basically for 2000 family you need 2x your CPU-license limit; each virtual processor counts as a physical one.

So A .net or newer is probably required depending on your hardware requirement. The 2000 kernel will probably not be rewritten.

Okay, first you find the group/indivdual responsible and put them before a UN/war trial jury. If a country aided in their hiding those responsible, planning or execution of the attack, they should lose ALL access to airplanes/aviation usage for 5-10 years + punitive damages.
