As for me, I don't mind being an Ophiuchus. Maybe we should insist that we be referred to by its old name, Serpentarius.
Yep... I, for one, welcome my new snake-clutching zodiacal overlord. The boss of the special dungeon in Final Fantasy Tactics was a Serpentarius, which adds coolness to our new sign. XD
I would suspect some of this "bargain" pricing is just an opening day promotion to generate buzz... probably not permanent.

PS3 Root Key Found

I think they only allowed it in the first place to try to get tax breaks in the European Union. So, after the EU decided that it wasn't really a personal computer, Sony pulled it from their newer models (the PS3 Slim never had Other OS).
This story about trying to get the console recognized as a computer for EU tax purposes applies to the PS2, not the PS3.
Distributed computing. Have a PS3 app that is installed if selected and when your not playing it runs distributed computing. Give the people whos PS3's are been used something in return like online credits for DLC.
Anyone got any figures on how much processing could be available if done?
Folding@Home did exactly what you are proposing. PS3s are a major contributor to the project:
The XBox 360 in particular is really testing the limits of what can reasonably be called a console, as it's more or less a standard computer with a custom OS.
That applied to the original Pentium III-powered Xbox, not the 360. The 360 has a triple-core PowerPC CPU unrelated to anything in consumer PCs.
Emissions controls on modern vehicles have gotten to the point where the air coming out the tailpipe can be cleaner than the air that went in the intake.
I know grammar/spelling/composition critique is a time-honored/. pastime, but I definitely consider all such posts categorically off-topic. Boring at best, and a premeditated attempt to derail discussion with minutiae at worst.
I downloaded Kubuntu 10.10 ISO image on another computer, burned a CD, and used that to backup the data off the hard drive to an external one. This took about 1 hour, mostly because of my botched attempts to burn a CD from Windows (fail -- no CD burning software is installed by default!) and then Mac (fail, then success).
Installing from USB is the way to go whenever possible. Much faster and no more wasted CD-Rs.
Those were the 2 exact same reasons I bought a 60GB in January 2007. Now I find myself debating buying GT5 because it will probably force me to update from FW 3.15...:/

But the government already spends billions on welfare for corporations, which is equally useless.
Fixed that for you.
If you are a subscriber and had never FP'd before... you must have been doing it wrong. ;)
Congrats on your achievement. :)

Exactly what I came to post. 160GB is small these days, so 10GB is downright diminutive.
In order to qualify as as "small", I would say the capacity has to at least be available for current retail purchase.
It may not be nerve gas, but the contents of a battery are still far more environmentally damaging than C02.
I vote you the /. user most likely to snag the 2 millionth UID.

Thanks for the good explanation.
But the controversy was that he downloaded it from demonoid. And that he has a pretty leechy ratio.
Demonoid's ratio tracking is extremely broken. I'm not sure why they bother to even display it... it's a public site in every way these days.
That does not change the fact you have to choose between the ability to play new games/access PSN and the ability to run Linux.
I'd love to play GT5, but it requires FW 3.50 and I'm not going to upgrade from 3.15 until I see how the jailbreak scene develops.
If you have a pirated windows
If you have pirated Windows, you should still be using MSE. Any pirate worth his salt will have an install that passes WGA checks.

If you trust Microsoft enough to use their OS, you may as well trust them to secure that same OS. Any other position is logically inconsistent.
Who would know more about Windows than Microsoft?
Actually, he said "creating the Internet". http://www.snopes.com/quotes/internet.asp

Following the instructions for Ubuntu as detailed in the post will give you an error message everytime you open gnome-terminal.
One of the comments left by Ricardo Ferreira on that page solved my problem (after rebooting again):
Edit your rc.local file with sudo gedit /etc/rc.local and delete the following line:
echo "1" > /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/notify_on_release
Save and exit gedit. Then, run gedit ~/.bashrc and add the following inside your if statement:
echo "1" > /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/$$/notify_on_release
So it should look like this:
if [ "$PS1" ] ; then /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/$$ /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/$$/tasks /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/$$/notify_on_release
mkdir -m 0700
echo $$ >
echo "1" >
fi

If people are going to write comparison articles and start the Windows vs Linux battle please compare them on fair grounds.
That bloatware is what allows the Windows netbooks to reach the pricepoint they do and push out the Linux netbooks.
They made the bed, they have to lay in it.
I think you are correct. Side-by-side, the PNG is more readable, IMO.
Thanks for the link. That .png version seem a bit more legible than the .jpg in TFA.
