Not necesarily (and this 'Cold' refers to something like mean velocity of the particles, not temperature), but current astrophysicists think that Dark Matter is predominantly cold. Otherwise it couldn't really clump together (it would 'boil' away so to speak) and we would be able to explain why we appear to detects clumps of unseen mattert (like in the Bullet cluster).
Skip step 1 and 3 is what I did. I got everything in the open FLAC format right on a disk drive which I backup every week to another drive. 1TB is about 100-120 euro, so you can't get secure storage any cheaper than this (or more secure).
I bet you think the bogus "UAC" and the constant access to HDD are good things as well.
No, I do not. Read my comment again, please. I think Vista is a pile of shit (and I tried). Period. But using ram (if available) is a sensible thing, as it's pretty much free these days. Empty ram is useless, and with new systems having at least 2GB sitting around, that would just make no sense. Having a empty cache setting in your processor makes no sense either, right?
But, it appears you were only interested in placing the zilltionth general rant against against Vista, for which in principle you can have my support, but you've picked the wrong thread to place it in. Please notice how you've said that the idea that using empty memory for caching is wrong on many levels, without even naming one (of course, there are none).
Considering I just paid 20 for 2GB DDR2 PC5300 brand memory, shipping included, I think pretty much everyone. Vista's memory usage is actually a good thing, because it uses it for precaching much used applications. Empty ram is no ram. I agree with all anti-Vista sentiments (I just can't work with that pos) but memory usage is the only thing I think is good about it. It just doesn't work that well with systems with less memory, and they've failed (surprise) to include some form of graceful fallback.
I can think of at least five reasons why it's interesting/funny/smart to post that as an Anonymous Coward, but I can't choose which one to pick to write a witty comment about.
While it actually is crazy, because 30 years is way too short. Should be possible as long as the killer lives.
The difference is that you aren't locked into anything and you do not have to pay anyone, even if you're using it (with or without your explicit knowledge). Don't want it? Don't use it. It a free (in all senses of the word) addition, and you don't have to pay a Microsoft/Adobe/whatever-tax ever.
Uhmm, Tegra is an ARM. The whole point of these low power x86 chips is to bring, well, x86 compatibility to low power devices. Which, wether you like x86 from an architectural standpoint or not, has some obvious advantages.
What I want to know is: can I use this, as a home user, use this to run Windows and Linux at the same time,/and/ play games (at full throttle) in Windows? Because I'd love to be able to run Linux full time and only load up Windows for the occasional game (without leaving Linux).
WebKit is open source, the HTML/javascript renderer that Safari uses. Like how Firefox uses Gecko. But the browser itself (and all the parts that manage things like reopening tabs from a previous session) is closed as can be.
How do videocards handle feeding data to 800 (latest AMD chip) separate processors? The memory controller is onchip of course, and it has a bandwidth of about 50-60GB/s I believe. So, for normal multicore cpu's, try bumping up that DDR2 ram from a measly ~10GB/s (when used in dual channel) up to the same level (AMD again already has the memorycontroller onchip, Intel is going there I believe). DDR(2) being 64bits wide (why?) doesn't either help I'd say.
You are under the mistaken impression tha your country is a democracy. It's duopolized by two parties, which are both by and large controlled by corporations and interest groups, not the people. Americans are also under the mistaken impression that strong leadership is a good thing (which implies a single party in office). In most other democracies there are many small parties, which, agreed, are not always as efficient at getting things done like in the US, but that's actually what you want, isnt it? A coalition in office (without strong leadership as opposed to a single party with strong leadership) isn't that much of an interesting target for interest groups and corporations. Instead of manipulating the government, they tend to manipulate the marketplace, the only place the should. That's capitalism after all, competing in the marketplace.
So I ask you to look around, get yourself (or maybe not you, but many of your fellow Americans) off those high 'patriotic' horses (strong leadership and patriotism tend to go hand in hand) and realized the only way to get a government small (which is what I hear many Americans wish for, but spectacularly failed in accomplishing in the past 50 years) is by actually cutting up those mega-parties, because that's where power lies. Vote green, vote chistian, vote whatever feel like, but do not vote status quo, because then you get what you already have.

There is something in between marketing departments and IT specialists, and thats common sense. And calling Ubuntu an OS is common sense, becuase that what 99% of its users will think it is.
What did you not understand about selfsustaining (for which none qualify)? And a settling besides a lake in the desert is cheating, you just can't do that on Mars.
You're forgetting that certain other applications are including almost all other applications these days. Composition manager like Vista and OSX use and Compiz like a bit of video memory too. True, they (should, ahem) require not so much as 2GB's, but you can tell the difference between 32MB and 256MB if you're doing more than using a terminal.
Then take the middle of the Sahara. Or the Gobi desert. Or, slightly easier because of the water, somewher in the middle of the ocean. It'd be magnitudes easier to build a self-sustaining community there than it would be on Mars. Not to say that Mars isn't an interesting destination, but why don't we try for something a little more attainable first?
The size of a framebuffer at the desired size has _nothing_ to do with how that frame actually got there: being rendered by a dedicated chip with memory. Estimating memory usage for 3D applications by looking at the size of the framebuffer is like looking at at your 80x25 terminal and concluding that 16kByte of ram is enough for pretty much any process you want to run.
A graphics card's memory takes loads of textures and other sorts of data to actually compute the contents of that framebuffer, not merely storing it.
Now now, that's not how you end your letter to Jesus...

And that's exactly the kind of newspeak (Free software != software that's free) that us normal people don't like and don't care about.
The phrase Operating System is more often than not used to refer to the entire package, because, for us normals, any kernel or operating system as you mean it is useless. You don't hear Microsoft advertising ntoskrnl.exe, but Windows, for precisely that reason.

Why not? Ubuntu supports Click-n-Run, no? I bet they could get a few deals with some commercial softwaremakers if they wanted too.

Maybe the concept of 'property' is the underlying problem? The problems with such a thing as landowners are obvious (Feudal age anyone)?

Even with an old game like Doom3 you can notice the difference between a 512mb card and a 1GB one, so let alone current titles like Crysis.
