Though you can buy that for $150 (for the home and student edition) you can't use it for commercial or business purposes.
Wrong. Doctorine of First Sale Applies in all cases where Home and Teacher Edition is sold. Simply put, because it's sold at retail without restriction, means I can use it anyway I want. I just don't have any business support options and yes I'm a small business owner who uses the Home & Teacher edition on 3 office machines
Of the many reasons I quit using firefox by default was the stability issues. I'm sorry but even with just Noscript installed, it would crash at least once a day on me. Another reason was the memory leaks. I tend to leave the damn thing open for weeks on end and would routinely run out of memory on a 64bit system due to them. So the combination of stability and leaks finally drove me far enough away that the only thing I use Firefox on Linux for is a couple of sites with flash games. Otherwise I Konq 3.5 as it does everything I need (text/images/links) and doesn't run flash or other bleeping plug-ins No Adverts/Banners as I've got them disabled.
There's two sides to this coin and Intel's is pretty neat. By not having the GPU integrated into the CPU die, Intel can improve the CPU/GPU without having to redesign the entire chip. For example, any Power management improvements can be moved into the design as soon as it's ready. Another advantage for them is the fact that each die CPU and GPU are actually indepenent and can be manufactured using what ever process makes the most sense to them.
AMD's design offers a major boost to overall CPU performance simply through the fact that the integration is far deeper then Intel's. From what I've read, the Fusion ties the Stream Processors (FPU) directly to a CPU and should offer a major boost in all Math ops of the CPU and I expect that it will finally compete with Intel's latest CPU's in regards to FPU operations.
The only time I'd consider Delayed Allocation to be a useful is when ripping a disk. Otherwise it's Pre-Allocation to the rescue as my torrent app does. Simply put, if the file size is known, you pre-allocate the entire space before it's written to disk, thus avoiding the fragmentation issue all together.
More likely it's Adblock causing the problem. I've run a Firefox with Noscript only for the last 1.5 yr (Win7-64/RC>-Retail Win7-64) and have had no crashes due to any extensions. I have had crashes due to Plug-ins such as Flash/Quicktime/WMP but that's been endemic to the OS itself.
I personally gave up on Adblock since it was slowing FF down simply due to the number of blocks I had. After Entered most of them into the Hosts file, I was able to get rid of it and go discovered that NoScript configured to disable flash/silverlight and everything else worked as well if not better then the combo of Noscript/Ablock.
Once this happens I hope my ISP finally gives me proper IPv6 support so I can surf all the free pron out there.
Personally, I'd love to have a dedicated IPv6 address since it would then make it easy for me to access my systems using the Win7-Homegroup properties when ever I'm on the road.
Do they put you kids through a civics course in school anymore?
No and I'm sorry to say that. Instead they put kids through classes designed to ensure the greatest consumption and lowest inteligence with the greatest productivity possible. Basically they want slaves and they're getting them.
Probably the easiest way to refresh yourself on concepts is to go the Educational Software route. There's a set of discs that cover everything from basic math through Basic Calculus concepts and the nice thing is, your kids can alsu use them to get a boost in school.
and after suffering another 4+ hour outage due to some idiot hitting a pole yesterday along with rolling blackouts because of an aging infrastructure, I've decided to go completely Solar and off the grid. This way I will have power when everyone else doesn't and can continue running my refrigerators, computers, lights, heating and cooling all year w/o worry.
Actually GM already has this available in a HUD system on High End Models. They've combined Low-Light Camera's with IR Features that activate with the headlights. It's purpose is to provide a clearer veiw of what's in front of you during the night. Guess what, it works quite well and is one hell of a safety feature that I want on all cars.
Hell I don't trust anyone at all, including me, myself and I becaue "Me has done things not in accordance with Long Term Goals - Myself has done things not in my own best interest - I because I have been PEBKAC stupid" so it's nice to see someone admit to trusting myself.
Seriously, these are the reasons I run as a standard user. It forces me to stop and think "Is this a good Idea" when something wants/demands admin privs.
I'm sorry but my CRS-3 (can't remember shit) Syndrome is running quite fast today. It's currently deleting the question before you even ask it and creating a space/time continium loop meaning we'll have to repeat this day forever
Then they open themselves up to becoming a party to the infringement instead of having policies in place that do not allow the recording of that information to which they can tell the courts "Sorry but we don't have that information an it would violate the contracts with all of our customers to obtain it".
The problem is, Nvidia bought the company that created the PhysX chip. The then incorporated the capabilities into their GPU and their drivers while refusing to allow a true PhysX card to work with anything except an Nvidia GPU in the system. In this case, Nvidia has done a major Dis-service to everyone as the original PhysX did run on anything that supported it but now it's a closed sorce, Nvidia only app/feature.
Then you're using NoScript in the wrong Manner. The way to use NoScript is to block all by default and only allow a few websites to run scripts/flash that need it. It's a proactive instead of reactive solution. Yes it breaks many websites but then of the many I visit most don't require scripts to work and the few I frequently visit such as Google and Newegg are in the Whitelist that allows scripts/flash to run. That's how you use NoScript. Not as a poor mans replacement for Adblock/Plus.
The reason I quit using Adblock was simply the fact that as the filter grows larger and larger, Firefox gets slower and slower. I'm one of those who find that any website I can use w/o allowing scripts/flash and all that other crap is one I'll visit again. If it doesn't work w/o it, I'll never come back and I've been that way since the first pop-up/under opened enough windows on my system that I had to pull the damn plug to regain control in the mid 90's. Sorry but that kind of abuse taught me damn early to be proactive about preventing the issue in the first place and now days due to all the advertisers that have been hacked/used as attack vectors for malware and such, I've expanded things to blocking at the hosts file level after my local proxy server. It's a simple monitoring app that allows me to keep track of my current traffic that I can vary the length of the list. Works damn nicely and allows me to review the http/s traffic (headers/response) with the full unobscufated name of the website that responds. Yes I've caught many advertisers this way and have blocked them in the hosts file as anyone who goes to such effort to block/hide the domain name is up to no good in my books and I have no desire to communicate with them.
In the case of AMD/Intel, the packaging is going to be as standardized as possible because it's cheaper that way. Part of the reason for this is each line of CPU is designed for a specific Socket such as AM2/LGA775 and such. Sure the CPU Die itself varies on each chip but the socket is a set size and they tend to use very few HS/F combo's in order to keep costs down. Yes you will see a different HS/F for a Low Power Celeron then a Pentium-D but when you look at the packaging they're almost identical for both processors with the diffs being the internal spacer/filler for the HSF.
Where you'll see the differences are the Fonts, Colors and Graphics used on the various lines but overall it's like looking at a GM Dealership. Can you tell the Chevy from the Buick when they're built on the same platform? Sure the differences are there but guess what, they're cosmetic (paint, tailights, headlamps, trim) not substantial and that's the concept that both Intel and AMD follow in their packaging. Another reason is making it easier to spot Fake and counterfit products like this appears to have been.
For those who don't know it, a standard 8meter shipping container of Intel processors has a street value of 10-50 million (dollars/euros) and it takes an organized group to pull off such a operation. I suspect that Interpol/FBI/NSA/CIA/Intel are all involved in figuring out where the theft/diversion of the goods took place.
Actually the black box data includes the engine rpm, transmission gear, clutch-brake and throttle pedal position plus headlights/wipers being active and any directional information from the multiple acellerometers (stability system) that most cars don't have active even though the hardware is already there from the last 30 seconds. As to the data standard, that's already regulated by the feds (NTHSA/DOT) standards though nothing says the data extraction tool has to be less then 50+k in cost. If that data isn't recoverable it's because the box isn't surviving the crashes and because those vehicles have exceeded the 30s recording period. What this means is that the feds are now going to require a 30m recording period and a beefing up of the black boxes to survive as well as flight data recorders do.

The working solution I've found as the family support guy is simply Noscript by itself. Yes I have it configured to block all by default and only allow a very limited set of sites to run Javascript. The fact that they also get a flash block is considered a benefit now since most of them are using older systems that are barely adequate for anything else now.
I've combined it with a small local proxy server that simply logs connections to websites. The only purpose of this proxy server is to record a single entry that gets checked later for advertisers to enter into the Hosts file.Other then that and sometimes having to whitelist a new website and routine maintenance, I've managed to free up lots of time by simplying my work.
