    I've never understood this obsession people have with Enlightenment. Sawfish is just as capable yet it is much faster. Gnome does all sorts of spiffy things that I can't do with just Enlightenment.

    I have a cousin who is in a fraternity. Not just any fraternity, the "asshole" fraternity. He fits in. Anyway, that's not what I'm discussing today. He has wanted to be in a fraternity since he was a child (he also has wanted to go to the school that we both go to because his father went here). From what I can tell he and 90% of all fraternity members join because they crave acceptance. The binge drinking is mainly a means of showing off.

    Speaking of RAM, why haven't improvements in chip making technology led to SRAM becoming practical as main system memory. Isn't SRAM made of the same components as CPUs (rather than involving capacitors as DRAM does)? Surely someone can answer this.

  13. Re:Dark matter on White Dwarfs Could be Dark Matter · · Score: 1
    Well for one thing, the fact that neutrinos have some sort of mass could explain some of the missing mass (they must have a mind-bogglingly small mass though). Anyway, I was thinking, what if there were particles that only interacted by means of gravity. Such a particle could be even more prevalent than the neutrino and we would never notice it. Even if it had a moderate mass (as compared to the neutrino) we would have trouble detecting it. This is just speculation though.

    Yes, I completely agree. Windows NT4 is definitely as stable as Windows 2000, if not more. I have personally had more BSODs on my home Windows 2000 system compared to my NT4 box at work.

    The funny thing about Win2k (just from what I've heard, I haven't used it) is that it seems to vary wildly depending on what hardware its on. Some people say it works very well and is incredibly stable. Others say that it is crap and doesn't work right. I have heard as many good stories as I have bad stories. Maybe it's just that certain drivers aren't as good as others, or maybe it's because the magic that holds Win2k together only works properly under the right conditions.

    I'm guessing that they won't make the mistake of making multiple CPUs enabled by a registry key this time. This whole thing is pretty silly, essentially they seem to be charging large amounts of money for the same software compiled with different defines set enabling certain things.

    Oh, you had to get me started on ninjas vs. pancakes. Pancakes are always far more powerful than ninjas. The ninjas see the pancakes (and even before that they smell them) and find them irresistible and eat so many of them that they become morbidly obese thus neutralizing the skills that took them so many years to obtain. I mean, who doesn't love pancakes? No ninja stands a chance against a well prepared stack of pancakes.

    No, I can understand. I find it annoying that my family never cleans up their desktops and start menus. I always had to spend a little while every so often getting rid of stuff I didn't need and making things more organized since I always found a start menu which fills the screen hard to navigate. When I do run Windows, I usually delete most of the icons that get added to the desktop. The other thing that irritates me is that every program seems to thing it is entitled to have a system tray icon.
