    You might also have noticed the content of all the sites is nearly identical. Just a rewrite of the ati press kit is suppose. They all miss benchmarks (the whole purpose of sli is speed).

    Here is a list of some more sites:

    tweakers.net (dutch, but the content is identical to other sites
    the faq from ati

    The water mark helps for tracking the copies. That is after the fact. This extreme security, drm to the limit, is to prevent theft.

  16. only for previews. on Give Your DVD Player The Finger · · Score: 1

    The only use i can think this is for is for limited releases, like the previews for the oscars. Not for ordinary home use i would think.

  17. Re:Speed? on Revamping Freenet · · Score: 1

    Well speed and better performance is always promised in the next version(preferbly the unstable version). However as a side effect the developers decide they have to loose backward compatibility.

    I lost track of the number of upgrades that made freenet loose a lot of data.

    Until they decide that freenet is backward combatible (a goal they are going to loose again) i think freenet will not grow.

  18. Re:Perhaps a strange suggestion, but... on Windows XP Starter Edition Snubs P4, Athlon · · Score: 1

    Microsoft Operating Systems are used daily in environments where it really isn't useful to display large blue screens with technical error information.

    like POS/ and ATM cash machines? Maybe they should run real embedded OS instead of Windows NT4.0.

    Linking an executable that formats the C: drive would double the average IQ of /. readers.

    I am not sure however if that would be funny. It would be funny to linux users...until a linux binary is linked.

  22. Re:HiJack this on Stopping Unstoppable Malware? · · Score: 1

    Why wasn't this mentioned before. Hijack this is the prefrerred way of scanning for adware/spyware in most online fora (forums? excuse my englisch) . It manages to find most(if not all) software that start up.

    The only thing it does not find are rootkit things(yes, ther is spyware with rootkit behaviour!). There is very little software to find the rootkit in windows land.

    Recent test show that even the best signature based anti spyware toosl only find 90% of de bad software. MS antipy and hitman pro (last is a combination) are among the best and free(as in beer).

  24. best tool for job. on UK Schools Told to Dump Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Is it certain that open source software is always the best use for our kids? always? without fail and no MS ever again?

    If the target is to make the student to prepare to work for business you might want to consider having Ms-word on you skill's list. You can use O.source software to do a lot of jobs, but you don't find it in regualr business a lot.

    Big company are still using windows NT4 (banks even use some OS/2). It will take some time before open software becomes mainstraim.

  25. Re:Just use personal keys on Managing Code Signing Digital IDs for Open Source? · · Score: 1

    You got the mechanism right, it's all about trust. And the signing is nothing more than an advanced checksum. But the point is probably that they bought a key from thawte or verisign for $$$ so that users that download ther executable(with internet explorer) are assured they downloaded an unmodified executable.

    Now only one person got the "root certificate". I think that a second person who is thrusted better has thei key as well, in case this singe person gets hit by a bus. Sending the key in a closed envelope (or a digital equivalent of this) to a second trusted person should do the trick. If you do not trust members of your project with this, (for forking or policy things), you should not trust them modifying the source and possibly releasing it. They have always the option of buying a new root certificate and make fork of the project.
