We are very sorry that when sometimes visiting our some pages, malicious codes are inserted. We think it doesn't mean that our website has been compromised. It's maybe due to ARP attack. We have informed our webserver provider to help us check whether it's due to ARP attack or not.
Ummmm... I think if malicious code is inserted into your site, it's been compromised.
Which is most probably what it is. I can't remember the source, but there used to be rumors that Celerons were mainly Pentium II "rejects", where the cache was not able to meet requirements, or simply disabled. It's nothing new in the industry. I think the Radeon 9500 was also one of those "reject" components branded off as a low end part.

Death of the UMPC?

Shit, if we're lucky it'll be called Zune UMPC
And if we're even more lucky, it's gonna come in BROWN
OTOH, there a lot of sites that moderate their user-created content (if reported/moderated by other users) too. And AFAIK, there has to be some form of moderation in any site regarding "defamatory or inflammatory content." Any site that doesn't do so is just asking to be trolled, vandalized and mutilated till people take their content (forums, vids, pics, etc.) someplace else.
Well if anything, it gives us less worries in the event of a catastrophe. Back when the Taiwan earthquake happened, Internet connections here in the Philippines were pretty much useless for a couple of days. It pretty much showed how dependent _I_ am to the internet (I can only speak for myself, but I guess this was a common feeling for most people). It was pretty frustrating to say the least. I don't know about the other countries (Malaysia, Thailand, etc), but we were hit pretty hard back then. I'm pretty much welcome to adding more connections, to say the least. If anything, it might eventually help improve the bandwidth/cost ratio.
You might not appreciate how hard it is to have redundant cable connections until you find yourself in a country with 7,000+ islands, separated from other countries between quite a lot of water.
You could always use white boxes. It doesn't have to be a Dell or an HP. There are some shops here in the Philippines that sell $150 (or so) PCs with the monitor already. These are GHz Athlon XPs and sub-2GHz P4's and the old Durons/Celerons drop to about $100. These aren't second-hand stock (or so they claim), but rather surplus, unsold stock. It's not a bad investment for a school in a third-world country to buy a bunch of those for computer classes (about 40). If a school already has a bunch of working, relatively modern (700MHz++) computers, they don't even need to buy.
I haven't seen XP starter edition yet, but I would guess (from what I've read) that it will run on those systems pretty fine. I don't know if it will stack up to OLPC, but i definitely think it can do what it's supposed to do: help children get educated in computers.
But doesn't the reboot query pop up every minute or so? They are willing to put up with something as annoying as that in order to put off rebooting? I shouldn't be surprised, I see even more illogical behavior than that on a daily basis.
But that can tend to be annoying if you're, say, downloading, compiling, converting, or running some other maintenance stuff that takes quite some time. I tend to be bothered with those at work, and I make a conscious effort not to stand up to make sure that Windows doesn't reboot on its own.
Yes, I'm willing to put up with that, if only because it's gonna be a PITA to start over on whatever I'm doing previously. If there is a way to disable the popup, please tell me.
From there I usually branch out into different sites. I do keep a lot of RSS feeds that mainly get linked from those sites (Truehoop, Deadspin, Wages of wins, Extremetech, etc.). It's really easier and more efficient to just check RSS feeds on most sites.
So from those sites, you can see I'm pretty much a sports fan. I also browse through some Philippine computer retailers' websites to check up on prices if I'm in the hunt for something (like right now, I'm in the hunt for a decent LCD). Of course, if I still have time, pr0n gets to be part of that rotation:)
I think I've seen enough ads in my life to have paid for every movie, tv show, and cd I've ever stolen off of bittorent
But the ads aren't there to pay for the tv show, movie etc. They're there to *hopefully* pay for those shows, that people might think of their products when they need buy something. The ads don't pay, but the ads are there to boost sales. So effectively, we still pay for those, it's just that it's been spread over stuff that we always have bought (which in turn we bought because of ads).
I understand if people hate ads (thank god for adblock). I don't understand why people don't know why ads exist. So at least until people come up with new business models to support artists without charging the consumers (that doesn't include piracy), I hope we could at least understand.
That's a good idea except it will only work for computers that do not need to save some sort of state, those such as school labs and the like (where user data is primarily saved in the servers). Enterprise computers are not in that category. For example, setting up email accounts (outlook, thunderbird, etc) would be quite a pain in that regard, unless you use web based email (TWIG, Squirrel, OWA) which will easily eat up storage in no time. User preferences (wallpapers, screensavers, themes, recent docs) will generally be wiped clean every boot. That's nice if you want to work in a boring, authoritative environment, but that's still not for everyone.:) FYI, we used to have them in school, and in the company dorm in Japan, which was mainly used for surfing and email (and a quick dose of brood war every now and then).
Use common sense here, your indoors, don't swing so hard.
But if I do play tennis (I don't), my natural instinct would be to swing the way I do in actual games. Same with bowling, same with baseball and golf (I played baseball before). Changing the mechanics of my motion for a simulation would change those mechanics in an actual game. But bottom line is that people will adapt the same motion that they are used to. So if you really play tennis, you would swing a wii controller the same way you would an actual tennis racket, knowing that changing the way you swing will affect the way you play in real life, whether it's tennis with the boss/wife/friends, the company/neighborhood tournament, or the ATP tour.
I know the joke is getting quite lame now, but I really hope MS is for real on this one. I guess they will never satisfy everyone, but I really hope they're trying.
dude, if you're learning japanese, then you will (if you haven't already) learn that determining subjects, objects and verbs are very easy with the use of their particles. arguably, the most difficult part of the japanese language is vocabulary and probably verb conjugations, not sentence patterns.
You know what you're getting into, right? How does it feel giving an interview here in slashdot? Which among the following would you compare it most to?
a. Swimming with sharks with a small wound (really dangerous)
b. Entering a lion's den (not really dangerous if you know what you're doing)
c. Having to remove your own eyeball to save yourself from a deranged serial killer (just outright no way you can win)
d. Getting honey from a honeycomb (with the right preparation, no harm at all)
e. Putting a toy car up your ass and having it x-rayed (painful, messy, but will generate a whole lot of laughs)
And yes, I'm really curious. Grill him all you want for the IE problems. I wanna know how he feels while answering the/. community's questions.
(there aren't many over-140 IQ single females at bars)
Which increases your chances to get laid. Maybe you should go to a bar sometime. If you wanna mingle with people who are smart, mingle here.
The problem with human evolution is that dumb people have a lot more kids...
Personally, I think it's the other way around. Smart people don't have a lot more kids. Why? The economy's coming to the point that it's becoming cost prohibitive to raise more than 3 kids (even with decent income).
Back when friendster was at it's "peak," it was notoriously slow. That was without the videos, the ugly backgrounds and other stuff they have now. It's not as bad now (i credit the change of code form jsp to php for that), but that tuned out a lot of users and sent them away to other sites such as myspace and multiply. And unfortunately for friendster, those sites kept up with the increase in users.
Just playing devil's advocate here dude, but what if he planned it out meticulously, to the point that he gets away clean? I'm not saying he's guilty, but stress (accdg to your post, he is in a custody battle) can do really weird stuff to people. I think it's only fair to tag him as a SUSPECT, but not tag him as GUILTY.
The ReiserFS, while still not the "default" FS of most distros was really an innovative one, and one that could eventually be the standard. While his work and his personal life should not be intertwined, I can't help but wonder how much his work affected his family.
Some things are just so shocking, and yet there aren't too many details yet, so I guess we just have to wait.

I like to develop using C based languages too... but I like it with coffee... nothing against chocolate...
