  4. After some research... on Have Fujitsu Harddrives Been Failing in Record Numbers? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I found the actual cause of the Fujitsu HD malfunction...PrOn!

    Apparently they are very allergic to PrOn and the more PrOn you have the more likely they are going to die.

    And from all of the horror stories posted here on /. about bad Fujistu drives it is probably true!

  5. Re:Why only low priority threads. on Folding@Home Client's Performance Impact Measured · · Score: 2

    Arrrghh...

    Let me be more clear... I do not want any application to take priority over it! I want to be able to give max processing power to the collective, without any P2P app taking over many CPU cycles on my system.

    You don't get my point. If you have a P2P application or other process that is running and you actually want the application to take priority in all cases.

  9. Why only low priority threads. on Folding@Home Client's Performance Impact Measured · · Score: 1

    It would be a more effective tool if the user had a choice of when to run at a higher priority by using a sheduling program or cron. If everyone set the priority to high when they were not using their computers we could help eradicate these dreadful diseases.

    Now I am sure that it would affect winmx and other filesharing P2P networks but at least give the user a choice. Perhaps corporations could get a tax break for contributing resources to these projects?

    My 2cents anyway.

  15. Re:USB?? on Moving to Mac Made Easy · · Score: 2

    Well a lot of "Mom & Pop PC users" may not have USB either.
    Have you ever transfered the contents of an entire drive using USB? That 12 Mb/s spec for USB that I see bantied about is a load of horse crap. Before the drive contents get shuttled across "Mom & Pop" will be a few years older, and at their age I think it would be worth it to them to splurge on the $10 Ethernet card.

  16. USB?? on Moving to Mac Made Easy · · Score: 2

    Why use USB when one can use 10/100Mbs Ethernet? It goes a lot faster than USB and all you would need to sell is a cheap X-over cable.

    A friend once had an old MAC that did not support DHCP which he used to loan to friends before the cable guy installed anything.
