  10. Re:Of course! And you never need more than 640K RA on Hybrid Hard Drives Just Need 8GB of NAND · · Score: 1

    I am using a SSD for a while as boot/system drive, no issues so far. But as a precaution my data (movies, music, source code, etc.) are on a HDD, If I lost the SSD I will only need to get another one (or a HDD) and reinstall the system, the personal data safe on the HDD (and periodic backups on blu-ray disks).

    In short: SSD is still expensive, but you do not need a big one (just 60GB is already ok for a system drive).

    You know "trade secrets" and similar? It is not always possible to release the source code for something, even when the author wants to do this. You should be happy just with the fact nVidia at least provide support for using GPUs of then in opensource operating systems, something that most business do not because they see Linux and similar things as not being professional enough to invest.

    Hum, depends.

    Today, the biggest problem I see with ads is the fact that the vast majority of them involves lies, misinformation or even attempts to install malware. I would not block then if the ad was honest and harmless (eg something like a simple-text ad "Hey, are you looking computers right? I can get some that interests you on my site" instead of a animated flash-ad "OH NO!!! YOUR PC IS INFECTED, INSTALL ME NOW FOR FIX IT!!!!!")

    I'm pushing the limits of the google translator, but where we go.

    I believe Mars was once equal to Earth: Dense enought atmosphere, oceans of water on the surface, and even a magnetic field protecting the atmosphere. But, some day long, long ago this happened, and caused the equivalent of Armageddon on the planet and turned him into what we know today. A "killed" planet.

    I understand your pain. Much of my problems with Eclipse are also caused by really stupid decisions of who developed it.

  18. Re: WTF? on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 1

    I use Eclipse at work, but not by choice. As example of the problems, I currently develop enterprise systems for the web. The validator for JSP pages constantly invents nonexistent errors, pointing problems where there is no more code, and complains about inexistent errors in JSP fragments. Copy and paste works in an erratic way, sometimes the copied contents simply disappears (you do ctrl+c, but ctrl+v does nothing). I get random (and obscure) errors when using the auto-completion, visual editor for HTML pages is unusable to any page larger than 50kb, and somethimes the whole thing simply crashes in a inexplicable way. Mind you, you are one user. If works for you good, but please do not think that if works well for you then it must works well for thousands of users in the exact same way.

  19. Re: WTF? on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 1

    Tipical "For me works, so you is a sucker"? Bah. Mind you AC, I live in "third world". At the time I tried VS 2010, a reasonable CPU was a costly item and 2GB of RAM was too expensive to have. Broadband? Pffffff, luxury item also. Installing Visual Studio 6.0 here was matter of installing the CD, then get the service packs on my CD utilities and presto, VS running. But of course it is necessary to say that I never needed to install it completely (No reason to install VS C++ if I just needed the VS Visual Basic).

    Now, try to install the VS 2010 or 2012 using a (to the actual level) slow machine, having a 256kbps (unreliable) broadband... Now is a bit easier to understand why it took an afternoon? And you failed too to realize that I did not say it was difficult to install VS 2010: I said it took a whole afternoon in waiting to do it. Installing VS 6.0 was easier in the sense of being faster and not have to deal with connection problems.

  20. Re: WTF? on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 1

    I had the same impression on experiencing the new versions of VS... (consider that I come from the time of Visual Studio 6.0 and before). VS 6.0 was simple to install, worked fast and did the job. The 2012 version took an afternoon to install (no kidding) and was slow to do anything. Result? On home, I still use VS 6.0

  21. Re:WTF? on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 1

    Depends on what VS you are talking. If you mean the VS 2005 or newer, it is also very slow. As for Eclipse, it is slow in general: Slow to load a JSP, slow to load an auto-complete, slow for any operation more relevant. It may not be obvious on a computer for $ 6,000, but anything below is easy to see happening. And some important things are terribly buggy and poorly performing, such checking the correctness of a JSP file.

    Eclipse IS slow, period. I work with him for over six years and has ALWAYS been slow compared with a similar IDE that is not based on Java. And not only slow, but terribly buggy. TFA sounds more like an article made by an eclipse fanboy than a developer trying to make a truly honest comparison.
