Ok, ok, you want a reply, here's a damn reply, and gee, I apologize for not getting it to you sooner, if that makes you feel better...
Original Poster: "Windows without IE is like a fish without a bicycle."
Now, what does that mean? Well, take a bicycle away from a fish... wait a minute, you can't! Why? Because a fish would never have any use for a bicycle, and thus would never have a bicycle at all! That's ludicrous!
A _fish_ with a _bicycle_ is crazy! Whoda thunk it?!
And here you come, Captain Obvious, to take that statement and respond with "Windows _with_ IE... is like a fish with a bicycle"! Notice any similarities there...?
I'm hungry now, so I'll just leave that there. I think I've made my point.
Oh, and if you want, feel free to replace "dummy" with "fool". It sounds nicer;)
What the fuck?! I thought we were beyond fools spelling it as "Athalon"!
As a more ontopic note, I was recently investigating "brand name" computers for a friend who couldn't understand that anyone could build one cheaper and 2x better/faster, when I noticed the same thing as Mr. Quanta: There are no more AMD systems being advertised by IBM/Dell/Gateway/etc! It's true, go check their pages.
I don't know about the low-latency patch, but the preemptive patch actually increases throughput in most servers, due to i/o operations being done asap.
There are some cases where the preemptive patch lowers throughput, but in the majority of cases it only helps.
Perhaps eventually we'll be able to position our mouse pointer over them and click, to simulate some sort of gunfire when you want them out of your way!
That is correct, in theory. However, as RML and others have stated, in practice, even applications where throughput is more important than response the pre-empt patch ends up helping overall.
Keep in mind that's in _most_ cases, so preempt kernel is not exactly for everyone, but it will help a lot of people.
Isn't there some sort of hardware which attempts to recreate a software-based set of turntables? I forget the name, but I've heard they're getting popular.
More than a thousand messages were completely off topic. Some of those were advertisements - known as ``spam,'' - and at least one e-mail contained pornography.

Actually, I had the same problem.. very few fonts that would do AA, and even then, the Konsole text would come out very garbled...
/etc/X11/XftConfig. Just a suggestion, seems likely that it's your problem too.
It turned out that I had just never edited my
before anybody else brings it up, let's NOT imagine a you-know-what of these..
Well DUH, dummy.
And mass mail us all so we know about it!
Oh, wait..
wow, what's with the fucked up posting?

How pathetic.
And you also use that foolish , in your numbers.
Which is what they must be doing, seeing as how nobody's replying here!

Imagine, going to the geek compound and seeing hundreds of little Tacos, wired together at the helm... being slashdotted!
Congrats Taco!

Hilarious, but seriously...

Same here on ATTBI.
Stupid 1.5mbit downstream cap.
Stupid 128kbit upstream cap.
Stupid ATTBI.
And now we're gonna get bought out by ComCast, which I hear is even stupider. I hear they're dropping newsgroups too now.

Who wants to guess what that "pornography" was?
It could just have been a cheap/faulty power supply that you bought. Plenty of 300W power supplies are manufactured poorly, but not mant 400W (yet).
Right... make no mention of IRC, P2P, and good ol' sites like autopr0n.
Or perhaps you just wrote up a shitty description of the story and it was deemed not good enough to post :)
Just duck when this happens!
*BOOM*
*Well* *shit*, *aren't* *you* *special* *?*

sorry, couldn't resist
