  1. Re:cuspmanship on Memory Usage of Chrome, Firefox 3.5, et al. · · Score: 1

    For the netbook segment, it boils down to power efficiency

    You are wrong -- today, it boils down to power efficiency for ALL segments, and more memory equals more power.

    It also equals slower hibernate/resume.

    Is it yahoo.com? The price is already high though.

    Why do you have to post the same text twice?

    Wipe out his MMO account. And organize a little disaster on his PC. Cutting the internet will also be required.

    Girlfriend will not work... In his current situation you'd be able to him only a substandard g/f, which will only make things worse.

  5. Re:And.. on Researchers Store Optical Data In Five Dimensions · · Score: 1

    cheap sensationalism, timmy.

    "three wavelengths and two polarizations of light" -- that's TWO, not six, and not dimensions but PARAMETERS.

    Wow, that was close. All but a couple digits in s/n match my notebook's battery.

    I can understand IBM filling a patent for something as useless as this...

    But I fail to understand /. editors posting this here.

    How is it possible? If you cause an accident while DUI, you lose your license for a while, second accident -- for a loooong while. Third time you like go to jail.

    A third dumb story on /. in mere 24 hours.

    Bullshit. Black boxes do not have hard drives. They record on metal WIRE.

    You should have stopped after "I'm not an expert" and hit cancel instead of submit.

    You are making way too many baseless assumptions. Such as that an initial value being perfect 0 or 1 to begin with.

    You could've started by reading Wikipedia page

    scroll down to "Recovering overwritten data"

    Pleeeease. Habitual offenders are unlikely to be repeat offenders and hence can't cause majority of crashes.

    I do have experience, and bits are really cheap. Look up pricing for PIC12F683, which has 128 bytes of RAM, enough to store 64 of 16 bit values.

    Lol, I do not have those on my desk. My desk is messy by most people's standards, but it is not greasy!

    Oh, and I have a wife -- definitely not belong here...

    I moderated the story -1, stupid. CPU scaling based on system load works quite well, WTF they need to make up something as stupid as this?

    I too don't understand who needs a WiFi at Mac. Opening up a laptop next to fries and ketchup? No thanks.

    I was given a choice to disable ads, too. Well, whatever, I clicked "yes". I did not see ads on slashdot thanks to AdBlock anyway.

    But I'm contributing in another way -- I save /. some bandwidth.

    This is a very old news. A similar article was posted about a year ago. New guy - same shit. The attacker needs a physical access to the PC, which is absolute no-fair. Why the fukc you need to fuss around, when you just can take the whole thing home?

    The same can be said about any OS -- if you allowed to mess with its files, you can make a rootkit. How dumb one have to be to make a story out of this nonsense?

    OMG, "There is no fix for this, it is a design problem". You damn right, it is a design problem. IN YOUR HEAD.

    Messing with a network that is working fine is asking for trouble.

    Wow. Another fine example of how the most retarded and impossible to implement idea is a great way to obtain government grants.

    Did these people consider how horrible are microphones in phones, and how noisy are phone lines? Ambient noise? Any sensible info that could (for the sake of argument) be extracted from the ear will be drowned in the noise.

    Besides, have they looked how phones are constructed? Where is the ear and where is the microphone?
