I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 32bit on my Intel machine with 4GB of ram, but Ubuntu still reports about 3.2GB of ram (just like WIndows 32bit would). How can I enable the rest?
Works A OK here, including the Vbox addons. Just had to make Windows 7 identify itself as Vista, that all. Make sure you enable PAE/NXbit and virtualization (and I think I had to set the hard disk to SATA too).
I just loaded it up in VirtualBox (the 64bit edition). Works fine (convince the VBtools that it's Vista). Its better than Vista, the startbar functions just like OSX's dock, explorer is more like Nautilus. Feels pretty fast, unlike Vista. I hope that they can deliver. Still don't like the looks (Gnome is teh sexy afaik).
And moving power across half the globe (because thats going to be necessary to have the all solar grid you speak of) is easy and cheap? Of course not. Solar and wind are fine at the local level, without a grid, coupled with batteries if necessary, but provide no solution if we want to move our baseline of power production away from coal. We're gonna need something more stable, and nuclear is it (no pun intended).
If nuclear waste is reprocessed, like in continental Europe, current reserves will last for probably at least another 1000 years (yep, thats a thousand, google it). So, if the US as one of the big guys not recycling waste, would actually put its ore to use instead of throwing it away after using only a very small percentage, we'd have vastly less actual and dangerous waste, and the energy problems solved.
Thing is, Windows systems do appear to accumulate clutter, no matter how you use it. Be it viruses or spyware (a big problem with senior citizens, in fact all non computer aficionados) or all the updates from the basic software utils you need (Adobe reader, Quicktime, some sort of Office suite), Windows itself even. I find that a Linux system (Ubuntu in particular for me) takes all that away. Of course, no viruses or spyware, and a central updatemanager that knows what it does and doesnt accumulate cruft in the way Windows does.
Parallels too indeed. But VMWARE too. Where else did you think the got the reverse engineered DirectX from? Als also just happens to run exactly the same games well as Parallels and Wine. The fact that they don't advertise it, just adds insult to injury.
The difference is VMWare emulates DirectX, using Wine. Which has implications for performance.
Virtualbox plans to actually pass through OpenGL calls (nowhere done yet in this version, thats why its slow and buggy, but may improve to native-level performance).
Well, packagekit is a one stop shop for the end user. Developers and distributor still need to package their software, as either deb, rpm or something else. All Packagekit does is provide the end user with a consistent manner of installation, but it still doesnt solve the fact that developer still need to package for the multiple packagemanagement systems.
That hasn't been unstable for a long time. Been using it for over a year now on a regular basis, for backups, and I havn't ever had any problems with it. I also havn't actually heard of reports of breakage for over a year, and many reports of succes. It's what Linux ntfs-3g uses too, and the stability/corruption issues just aren't there.
NTFS-3g is just as stable and performant as a native fs, on both OSX and Linux. Ubuntu even supports it officially with Wubi now.
Because he hasnt tried the ublio builds of the nfts-3g plugin: it read and writes with comparable speed to a native filesystems (http://www.csamuel.org/2007/04/25/comparing-ntfs-3g-to-zfs-fuse-for-fuse-performance).
I can read/write with 30MB/s on an external USB drive.
On the other hand, where are the times of nuclear-proof manufacturing? I could throw walkmans and minidiscplayer round as if they were footballs and they wouldn't even skip. Now those devices could take a beating.
So (assuming you're American, of not, then to all Americans reading this), what are you going to do about this. Because not only are you being robbed, is given to a very select group of people, instead of to you all (which is what a democratic government is for, the people, nothing else)? How about using that 2nd amendment for it's intended purpose for a change?
It's just so hypocritical, on the one hand handing out money to business, on the other being staunchly against helping fellow/persons/ (instead of those businesses), and using the 2nd amendment for basically playing cowboys. What is it you guys want?! When is it enough for you?
It was a recent Firefox, version 3. Just happened overnight. Yes, that means Vista is broken, because the same installer works fine on other computers.
Try googling 'circumvent uac' for starters. And if you don't see how sudo is superior, use it.
On my dads PC, somehow launching Firefox causes the UAC dialog. He doesnt know jack shit about all this rights business (well, he does now), but has certainly not performed actions that he shouldnt have done. However this came to be, is a fault of the software, not him. Nevermind that UAC offers not security at all, writing software to circumvent it is easy as pie. UAC just doesn't work, certainly not when I compare it to sudo on Linux.
I don't know where/you/ get your infromation, but the parent certianly/has/ placed a computer (or Tivo perhaps) between his consoles and the internet. He clearly states he streams from some other machine to his consoles.

My board has the P965. Is that new enough, or not?

Just a reminder: Dutch is spelled with a capital D, just like how american is spelled with a lowercase a. Thanks,

But by saying that, arent you implying in only became useful until it found that application?
Some people find math fun, just for the hell of it (ask mathmaticians!), but most just don't, and nothing will change that.

If you want maintenance free, go with Ubuntu.

Your wish is my command :)

It's not as fast, but the difference is not much more than 20%.
Try it (the ublio build), you'll see for yourself.

Doom3 will be opensourced anytime now, so then you can build your own 64bit binary.

The part that NO ONE BR+ decoder allows you to do that, stream it contents.

But how it works now you need to put a computer between the internet and the ps3/360, which seems kind of useless to me ...
