    You don't need Nvidia chips on the mobo the PhysX is on the card and not separate.
    TOFA says that if you have 1 ATI card, for example, in your 2000-GPU array with 1999 Nvidias, you'll still have no PhysX

    The R4's software is not a circumvention tool, it simply runs on cracked hardware the way DS homebrews do. The actual circumvention tool is the cartrige which circumvents the protection on the DS.

    THe people likely to be volunteering their data are probably people informed about what's going on. Which are the people not likely to be infected, because they don't click on every "FREE PORN" ad they see.

    I agree, the checkbox should be "on by default" and if the freaking user is smart, then they untick the box.

  5. Re:Blu-Ray on 100-Petabit Internet Backbone Coming Into View · · Score: 0

    BD = 25 GB (correct me if I'm wrong) BD 2 Layers = 50 GB DVD = 4.7 (roughly 5 GB, so let's use that.) DVD * 5 = roughly 25 GB 400 DVDs = 2000 GB (assuming all of them were filled to the brim with pr0n) So that makes 80 BD regulars per second, and around 40 BD 2L every second (roughly) Note that it assumes that all of the free space available is filled, so that's a LOT of pr0n to browse thru.

    2001's "Modern" desktops can run Windows 7, and with a GPU upgrade, Aero. The machines score 3.8 usually, (LOL Pentium 4/3) but their R/W scores 5.8 Anything older than a 2002 Celeron will not run W7

  7. What are the trying to prove anyway. on ImageShack Hacked, Security Groups Threatened · · Score: 0

    Sure they were demoing Imgshack's insecurity, but this is really not the way to get heard. They should have made a racket at a DEFCON, where all their "security experts" are. Otherwise, this just pisses a whole fu**ton of people who haven't realized this and not switched to Photobucket.

    Windows 7 does still run perfectly faster than Vista, even with Aero turned on +antivius+userland apps.
    And that's on a 1.6 GHz P4 circa 2001. Wouldn't run Vista but runs 7.

    If the entire hard drive was secured with something like TrueCrypt, could you be compelled to turn over the password?

    If the hard drive was wiped with DBAN 37 times and

    As you say, it's not finished. ReactOS is a very decent attempt and a very interesting project from a hobbyist/programmer standpoint, but it's not really to the point where any company would consider it usable yet. If ReactOS could bring itself up to par as a production ready Windows-compatible OS (sort of like Linux compared to a "real" Unix), then I think it would start to pick up in popularity quite a bit.

    ReactOS is good, but seriously, Explorer has got stop crashing everytime I try to run Firefox!

    If I didn't have IE built into my computer how was I supposed to go to Mozilla's website and download firefox?

    Windows could have been distributed with an app that would grab a list of MSI packages of the major web browsers, and the user would download one after installing Windows. This app wouldn't render any HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, just a simple GUI front end over the equivalent of wget.

    Yeah. Exactly like ReactOS. Oh wait. ReactOS is not Windows.
