You're talking rubbish. Very few systems use 100% of CPU time. Latency is completely different to CPU overhead, it's based on the amount of time spent in the kernel. Get your facts straight.
I notice that there seem to be the usual run of American creationists posting here with their typical comments, but I can't remember seeing a single European one.
So, are European Christians more relaxed about evolution, or are they just quieter?
If they did anything with your data they would be breaking the law. I don't quite see why they'd go to all the trouble of developing this just to read your emails.
You can access their servers from your PC. That proves you didn't actually read more than a few lines of the linked info. Now go away.
Is this mostly an American problem? I once spent 10 weeks in the US and almost went insane trying to get any entertainment out of the TV there. I could fully understand not wanting to be constantly bombarded with adverts.
People are a bit more relaxed about the TV here in the UK, as far as I can tell. I don't watch a huge amount, but I'm quite happy to watch.
Actually it is 'Philosopher's Stone,' it was re-named for the American market. It's widely thought in marketing circles that Americans need titles dumbing-down in order to understand them.
Democracy isn't only about multi-national markets, cheap labor and business opportunities. It's about the liberation of information, freedom of religious and cultural choice, and a brorader value system with a complex civic structure
Democracy isn't about any of those things, although they may appear in a democratic society. Democracy is about government by the people. If the people don't want multi-national markets, cheap labor and business opportunities, then democracy should reject them.

I'm looking forward to finding out how this "Big Daddy" approach to policy making works out. I'll expect big subsidies on pies and union jack leotards, but Giant Haystacks really ought to emigrate right now.
Yesterday I opened a bottle of Wild Turkey that has been laying around the house and got shit faced! I am so hung over today that there is a distinct possibility that I will die.
Anywho, after getting lit (my wife had already left for work at this point), I remembered that the kids had to attend a birthday party for one of my girlfriend's kids. Since it was at Chuck E. Cheese, I was not obligated to hang around and that gave me a little more time with the bottle.
Considering the circumstances, I drove remarkable well. At least I seemed like I did. The kids all seemed to enjoy the ride to... which is unusual, because anytime we get into our conversion van, the five of them immediately start whacking each other. They were all crammed into the large bench seat in the back giggling.
The only problem with the evening was that I have no idea how the kids got home. But they did, all four of them safe and sound. And the wifey was no wiser!
Now it is time to down some pain killers and enjoy another headache inducing day on Slashdot.
Does this mean that the US has given up on producing a standard for digital radio over the normal airwaves?
Here in the UK we've had digital radio using the DAB standard that most of the world has chosen (shades of GSM here) for a couple of years. Unfortunately, the radios are expensive and no-one listens to it yet. They are dropping in price now though.
My god, is this an example of how bad the American education system has got? Having the word "Socialist" in your party's name does not make you socialist.
I never said Slashdot was neutral. Neither is News Forge. They are advocates. My question was why are there no neutral sites.
According to the previous comment, merely mentioning/. is simply traffic-whoring. Well let's ban all critical analysis right now! The multiple references to PC Magazine were obviously an attempt to get listed in Google searches by clueless newbies too.
slashdot is not journalism and it never claimed to be.
News for Nerds. Stuff that matters. It might not be journalism, but it is biased Tech News. Which is the point.
What Klerck said is mostly true, as was discussed when Loki filed for Chapter 11 protection. The majority of gamers have dual-boot machines and if they want a game, they will usually buy it when it first comes out in a Windows version. The fact that you don't like the truth doesn't make it any less true.
Before anyone replies with a generic "Windoze sucks!" post, bear in mind that that is not the point. Thank you.

I wan't the revolutionary power over fibre-optic cable that the article mentions. I mean, they had it back in the eighties!

He said that he knew it was configurable, but what matter in the world of useability are the default settings.

You speak English? How come you don't know what the word button actually means?
This doesn't work, I have proof. It may be more than my job's worth to reveal it though. If enough people want to see it, I'll post it up here.
Because actually the Pound has been the most UNstable currency?
Have you heard of a country called Italy?

If the discrepancies could only be detected by eye, how did you do it using cat and grep? Are you ommitting details?
I think I'll stick to SMS. Send a message, receive a message.
It helps when you live in a country where everyone has SMS-enabled phones though.

That's so funny, most of my friends send SMS messages all the time. Perhaps that's because I live in a country that is not the US.
If internet access were unavailable in the States, would there still be the same level of demand for it?

What about people who are still using computers that are considered obsolete and unsupported by software manufacturers?
There isn't any shrink-wrapped software available to them, but if they buy and use second-hand software they may be breaking the law.
It almost makes you think that there's a conspiracy designed to force people to upgrade...

Memo to people replying to this - you are being trolled.
And by posting this comment, so am I. Oops.

What a troll. Not particularly subtle, but it appears that you didn't need to be in this case, so good judgement there.

Doesn't this violate the GPL, or have the only contributors to SourceForge been VA Linux employees?
Ha ha ha, well done you troll. I salute you!
