    Nailman.

  2. Re:NASA will probably cooperate on Wi-Fi, Now Available On the ISS · · Score: 1

    Your response made me think if the ISS is shielded in some way and the Wifi signal might just be limited to the internal station walls. Anyone know more details on if that is indeed the case?

    LOL! My thoughts exactly, but don't undermine the kids, plenty of them have a lot of vintage fetish going on.

    ...most people don't even know stuff like this exists in Vista, and it is both powerful, easy, and just works. The latter is usually attributed to OSX, actually glad to see something actually works like expected in Windows. I will need less time managing the system than my work.
  6. Re:That is bizarre on Data Loss Bug In OS X 10.5 Leopard · · Score: 1

    Perhaps, but it works more or less like a merge, which I personally find better than overwriting a folder entirely. If I need to overwrite folders then I would rename the older folder, move new folder, essentially the same thing that OSX does. If I need to sync between the latest files between the two similar folder then use a sync job using Microsoft's SyncToy (this has been one of the best tools to come out of Microsoft, I'm even surprised it actually didn't get bloated with crapware yet). The above is expected behavior per me, perhaps because I have considered dragging and dropping two similar folders as merging rather than "overwrite" all content. But again its just what I expect on Windows, while my primary workstation, Ubuntu, works in an expected Debianish way that it should. I rarely use my Mac mini, so I wasn't aware of the behaviour this article describes. I likely would have flipped out had this happened to me.

    I just tested it out, yes it works as expected; however, it prompted (continue,etc) for the 1st nested dir it encountered.

  8. Re:Par for the course? on Data Loss Bug In OS X 10.5 Leopard · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When two folders, both named "Documents", where one is dragged and dropped into the home directory containing another "Documents" folder, Windows prompts if you want to replace content from the dropped folder on to the one being dropped on. At this point, if any files with same name are encountered, they will be replaced with the one from the first directory; however, all other files in folder will stay intact.

  9. Re:"With the exception of Apple" on Bypass Windows With Fast-Boot Technology · · Score: 1

    My Vista laptop is no different, press the power button and system sleeps fast (under 5 seconds in most cases), close the lid and when you pop open the lid its back up and running with WMP/Outlook etc within the 10-15 time. Unfortunately, this doesn't work equally across all devices, nor will it. It all boils down to Apple having a limited set of hardware to make this work on, thus, its much easier for them to tweak or modify it across their entire hardware lineup. This same issue plagues Ubuntu as well; on my dell, it works flawlessly, hibernate, stow away, open lid and you're back at using the system within seconds, unfortunately, on an older HP it doesn't. In the end, it all boils down to compatibility of all the devices across your system - Apple just has a better edge on this due to their limited hardware arsenal.

  10. Peppers used for centuries for treating wounds on Capsaicin Tested On Surgical Wounds · · Score: 2, Informative

    As I grew up, I heard stories of how my parent, especially, my father, was treated or has seen treatment of wounds using home grown peppers on their farm. This isn't something that comes as a surprise, since most hot peppers have some/varying levels of Capsaicin in their composition. Anyone from a developing country can attest to this, in fact, many American Indians can also attest to this, tobacco and coal as a means of treatment. Fairly interesting seeing its use by modern medicine as well.
