You need to be assigned authenticate over WPA and be assigned an IP when you return from suspend. While you may be right that the dell tool slows stuff down i suspect if you run wireshark you will see a tiny delay waiting for the tool and then a long dely while authenticating, for best results: 1. set WPA to short handshake 2. assign a static IP 3. re-nice the dell tool
certain tools can compress your ram before you suspend (also means a faster restore) so you can get away with about 70% of your ram (especially if your ram isnt 100% used)
i assume you dont hibernate, thats the only reason i have 1x my ram in swap. Although using something like "hibernate" instead of ubuntu's tool will happily compress it so i could really get away with about 60-70%
consider using a swap file for your setup id recommend 256mb of swap, with 1.25gb of ram (apart from when i left wireshark running for toolong) ive not seen it creep above ~100mb for long.
Seriously? i suppose this isnt the place but it seams to me they went for the 'casual gamer' crowd (who dont care much about drm) in spore. Ive played it once and it seams more like a Sims2 than a HL2, and i cant image your average sims2 player even knowing what DRM is.
Right, well I'd rather run Ubuntu on my desktop PC than Maemo. Just to say that I'd consider Ubuntu more potent than a Linux distro made for an embedded device.
Any reason other than being a fanboy? A custom distro designed for a specific situation blows the socks of a generic distro, when its done right. This point is even more true for devices are that to the public where starting with something like the EEEs limited interface is much more useful to the general public than a full Ubuntu install
why sell them something when we can rent it to them and keep charging them indefinitely."
Why buy something and have to maintain it when i can rent it for the duration of its use and drop it when im done?
Are you saying that DVD rentals are stupid? holiday car rentals? public transport? renting stuff is fine when its convenient (and understood that your renting it)
this is why you should never put your moderation in 'the cloud'(a.k.a the control of others)
Seriously though i couldnt agree more with you, i still respect him and he has a point, but id rather have a moderate representing the open source community to the public. id also be more interested in the views of theo,linus,shuttworth,perenes,etc as everybody pretty much knew what RMS would say
With s2disk you don't have to wait for the bios to POST
what are you talking about? s2disk or any hibernate implimentation will go bios>grub>initram>restore ram image> To not post bios you would need to be using advanced acpi features to effectively be using s2ram with the actual image on disk, but i am yet to see a motherboard with that option. while compressing your ram image can speed up the time to boot, often if your running a full DE and a web browser,email client & IRC your ram image will be so big that it will be slower (or at least comparable to a cold boot). Besides bios>grub>initram stages account for less than half the boot as disk access is much slower than anything else.
Sure if you right in the middle of doing something that is using a non-restorable program then s2disk has its usages but otherwise there is no point in using it over shutdown other than filling up you/tmp with useless crap
"Actually hibernation saves time and energy due to shorter boot times." Explanation needed. hibernation may save a few seconds (if you compress the image on suspend) but otherwise a clean boot may well be faster as less disk reads are needed.
But that would make the summary completely wrong meaning their not hijacking DNS error pages, their just hosting ads instead of error pages IMO this is acceptable if your an end user. OFC if your doing anything that requires a standards complaint web connection then change or ISP (or just your DNS)
Give it another 6 months, the 'almost latest' radeon and mesa in 8.10 can just about support kde4 composition (and id guess compiz) with a few problems, but the advances made in the last year mean im fairly confident that by 9.04 composting will be fully supported and by the time i leave university ill be able to game on the opensource drivers.

There, fixed that for you.
There, fixed that for you both.

for a server thats probably about right, on a desktop where stability is not quite as important id go with about half that

much nicer to find Michel Palin instead of the creationist nut job when searching for palin though

nah he just doesnt trust that the water companies compile water from h2o and has to get the hydrogen and oxygen and compile it himself

They are also less likely to be running linux or mac os x so more likely to be running IE or chrome

why use s2disk?
kde (and theres probably a gnome tool too) can save active windows, so whats the benefit in s2disk?
"Actually hibernation saves time and energy due to shorter boot times."
Explanation needed. hibernation may save a few seconds (if you compress the image on suspend) but otherwise a clean boot may well be faster as less disk reads are needed.
given that as explained above the KGB dont exist, i think I can.
