This is also possible under Linux as well, in case you don't know. This is from "Processor type and features ->/dev/cpu/microcode - Intel IA32 CPU microcode support" help when configuring the linux kernel:
CONFIG_MICROCODE:
If you say Y here and also to "/dev file system support" in the
'File systems' section, you will be able to update the microcode on
Intel processors in the IA32 family, e.g. Pentium Pro, Pentium II,
Pentium III, Pentium 4, Xeon etc. You will obviously need the
actual microcode binary data itself which is not shipped with the
Linux kernel.

Re:Freedom of GPL and BSD license compared

GPLv2 Vs. GPLv3

But the fact is that several years (2 actually) after I found out about the GPL I am STILL TOTALLY UNABLE to know what is the right way to use a GPLed library
Try this link: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#LinkingWi thGPL.
Basically, if you link your code to a GPL library then your code must be GPL as well. If the library is LGPL, your code does not need to be GPL as well.
Absolutely, and you can even texts included on prepay deals as well. I top up £10 and for a month after that point, I've got 300 hundred or so texts to use that don't get deducted from the £10 (and I'll never use up anyway). If I've still not topped up after the month has expired, then the texts start costing me but I've still got the money I topped up with to go at. With calls as well, the tenner normally lasts me about five to six weeks. It's a good deal.
You're absolutely right. I was just carelessly pasting in a link from another comment. My only intention was to put up some argument to show people the gp wasn't completely in the right.
I'm completely with you on the need for better RAM, but you must still see the point the OP is making? RAM prices haven't changed for ages - I've been after a GB stick for one of my machines for over a year and it's been at ~£70= ~US$140 for all that time and I'm not *that* bothered at that price.
The real thing that bites for me, and I'm well aware that it's completely different technology but it's hard not to compare, is that flash ram is so cheap now. I'm looking at a 4GB usb drive for £20=~US$27. It is the cheap stuff, but that's nuts.
I'm not sure that it's the same advert I'm thinking of, but it's certainly something similar. Either way, it narks me off. One of the testimonials is "it's like a dessert". Well great, that tells me a lot.

It's not contradictory and doesn't claim that it is. All it is saying is: Advantage: clean energy, disadvantage: it has to be hot.

Where's your proof?

You've already had someone respond with a link to benchmarks showing exactly the opposite of what you claim:

Well no kidding they're seriously tasty. I know if I won a ton of money that's what I'd get.

Don't assume the way *you* use your laptop is the same way that everybody else uses theirs. I'd find my laptop a lot less useful without a battery.

Very true, but Linux in a corporate environment is likely to be uniform don't forget.

Right, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.

It's PaX actually, but yes. You can randomise the kernel stack base, the user stack base and the mmap() base.
Security Options->PaX->Address Space Layout Randomisation in your kernel config, assuming you have the appropriate patches installed.

Hi,
This is also on Linux but called prelinking.

My 30GB IBM 75GXP is still running fine. I got that in around 2000. Not ten years, but then not too far off.
CF is the key here as it can be interfaced directly to PATA and appears as a normal drive.

It's a Red Dwarf reference.
Fair points, although I'd not be sure whether Granny needs them all :)
You don't need a static IP for what you describe - using a service like http://dyndns.org/ is a perfectly reasonable alternative.

Right. The best bit about quad core for the moment is that it should drive the dual core prices down.
