  1. Shocking.. on Electromagnetic Automobile Suspension Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    ..development indeed!

  2. Re:Not quite ready for prime time on DraftSight 2D CAD For Linux Beta Available · · Score: 1

    Exactly what you said. I've only given it a test run, but I immediately noticed the 'lack' of layer controls. It simply has to be within reach all the time. Admitting to some of QCADs shortcomings, I have yet to find a 2D CAD that beats it in 'speed' as soon as you learn just a few of the comprehensive set of keyboard short cuts. I stopped holding my breath for ver. 3 when I blacked out though, I guess they will release it when they're good and ready.

  3. Re:will this help with the swap-paralysis problem? on The ~200 Line Linux Kernel Patch That Does Wonders · · Score: 1

    I don't think it's as bad as it used to be, but perhaps I have an atypical setup: 4Gb RAM + 1Gb swap on a SSD. When something leaks or I set a wrong param. in a program I use, it usually takes around 1 - 1½ min. for the kernel to do an OOM and restart X, granting me a login screen - I've lost everything I worked on of course.

  4. Re:OS/2 on The State of Linux IO Scheduling For the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Are you sure you want to go down this path?

  5. Re:BFS Isn't Unsupported on The State of Linux IO Scheduling For the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    I installed the BFS with 2.6.34 and I have not looked back since - I can wholeheartedly recommend this scheduler, it WILL make up for the time spent figuring out how to recompile a kernel if you're a newbie. Lag is not acceptable on a modern desktop.

  6. Which incidentally... on Hard-to-Read Fonts Improve Learning · · Score: 1

    Which incidentally is why Linux users are so intelligent - sigh

  7. Re:On a related note ... how about video games? on AMD Hates Laptop Stickers As Much As You Do · · Score: 1

    Yeah, don't try baby oil on those.

  8. Re:good plan on NZ Plan For Fiber To the Home · · Score: 1

    Same here. I spent six months in NZ and had the BIGGEST BADDEST internet connection available - I think the download once went up to 100kb/s ! and D/L limit was 10gigs a month - and we were 3 people using it :( Coming from Denmark where I currently have a lowly 10Mb line with ulim. download, I was quite shocked.

  9. Re:The truth about caffeine on Caffeine Addicts Get No Additional Perk, Only a Return To Baseline · · Score: 1

    Oil and coffee are the biggest commodities in the world, I was a bit surprised, but Columbia exports more coffee beans than cocaine, at least officially. Try googling it.

  10. so is it... on Volcanic Ash Heading Towards North America · · Score: 1

    ..chance or risk?
