  1. Re:OT Grammar Nazi comment on Reducing Boot Time On a General Linux Distro · · Score: 1

    For a grammar nazi, you're making quite an elementary mistake. "User" is a singular noun and needs a singular pronoun to go with it. "Their" is a plural pronoun. Using "his", "her", or "his/her" would be correct in this sentence.

  2. Re:x264 and avisynth on Which Open Source Video Apps Use SMP Effectively? · · Score: 1

    AviSynth is single threaded, so complicated avs's won't effectively use all possible threads.

  3. Re:"LiveCds not available for X86 or AMD64" on Gentoo 2008.0 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    No LiveDVDs, there are LiveCDs for both x86 and AMD64. Its that they just have xfce on them and not gnome. Implying that livedvds may have gnome on them.

  4. Re:'Anonymous' is actually... on Internet Group Declares War on Scientology · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well thats mostly correctly (besides Ebaums. They hate ebaums for stealing web content from other sites and blame them for any raids they do)

    They raid almost anything and unlike normal hackers/crackers, they use pure brute force methods on their targets. Also they don't pick their targets based on any real reason. They prank call Tom Green for the hell of it, and phished tons of myspace accounts. They usually attack things that they won't get into serious trouble for. If you attack things people dislike, most people will just let them do as they please (see Hal Turner). CoS is probably one of the biggest targets they've ever had. Their attack on CoS includes DDoS, black faxes, harrassing/prank phone calls, and random other things.

    Will it be effective? Probably not, its more annoying than anything else. The DDoSing is probably the thing that annoys CoS the most since it limits their web appeal. But considering they have tons of celebrities at their disposal, they probably aren't losing too many new members.

    1) No 2) Better than the iPod. 3) Ditto.

  6. Re:revolutionary? no, but still noteworthy on Intel Launches Power-Efficient Penryn Processors · · Score: 1

    Penryn offers a few extra features over the existing Conroe/Kentsfield design. Mainly lower power requirements, higher clock speeds as well as SSE4 which is useful for video encoding. This is just the tock in Intel's tick-tock strategy. Nehalem should be much more exciting.

    Go go Debian based distro!
