Funnily enoguh, there have been a lot of posts/diaries on K5 recently discussing the fact that it's slowing down. The userbase has grown to the point whereby, at about 2-3pm GMT, the site is almost unusably slow.
There is a new server being installed and hopefully by then K5 will be up to the slashdot challenge.
I can think of one. There was a film a few years back called "Pret a Porter" (excuses any missing accents) about the fashion industry.
Oh, wait, that was renamed to "Ready to Wear" for American audiences. Kinda reminds me of when "The Madness of King George" came out. The film was about King George the fourth, but it was felt that "King George IV" would confuse the American audiences as to why they hadn't seen the previous three.
Pointless disclaimer: These are things I have read in the European media. They may have been biased. But Pret a Porter was definitely called just that when it was released in Ireland.
AGP is optimised for writes. Simple as that. Video memory isn't used for data storage so much as data display, so you don't often have to read it back.
PCI on the other hand can do burst reads or burst writes (though usually with higher latency on reads, but prefetching helps a lot!).

Wrong. It runs at full speed half the time. And at nothing the other half. If it ran at half speed half the time, depending on what it did the other half of the time, it could be anything from 25% to 75% efficient.
Different release dates then

Review: Memento
·
· Score: 1
Over here in Ireland, it was released sometime last October. And about two weeks later, it even made it out of the tiny little art-house cinema and into the main-stream one.
Is this another of those rare occasion where we in Europe have actually seen a film well before the US (like with "Snatch"). Or is it just a ridiculously late review?
Or, for those of you who've seen the film, is it life imitating art?
"So they might be able to turn immunity OFF - seems like this might shed some light on AIDS research, and how to turn it ON"
From the article:
"People understand very much how you turn on a cell but people have had not much idea about how the master off switch works. Everyone was looking for it. Finding this out is kind of like the ultimate prize in this field."
Some day, a great movie will be made about the Microsoft era, about the arrogance and predations of Bill Gates' monumental power snatch, and the resulting hacker revolution that spawned the open source and free software movements and rocked corporate America.
I'm pretty sure he meant in the furture as in after open source rocks corporate America (to say nothing of the rest of us non-Americans)

Someone up there loves irony.

At first I didn't even see the typo. I thought going straight was some reference to the fact that Turing was gay.
My mistake.
I'm guessing the quote is American Psycho

Not sure where, but I know there is a file you can screw with to customise the colour of the BSOD.
Seriously.
Nice to see that /. is using the proper wine icon intead of that rehashed windows icon they had before.
