Oh, and Gnarls Barkley got to number 1 on downloads with Crazy a couple of years back. But hey, I suppose some of the things in the summary are true at least.
It's called "Killing in the name", motherfuckers. How hard is this to get right? And while we're at it, the Britney song was called "...Baby one more time"
My work laptop has a GeForce 9600M GS (according to lspci) and once I installed the binary driver with a simple `yum install kmod-nvidia` it just worked. Dual screens with different resolutions set up fine with the nvidia utility (don't use the standard Linux display stuff) and performance on compositing is great. Only difference is I'm using Gnome not KDE.
And I know fuck all about Linux, so it must work easily. I read nvidia cards worked well, and it certainly seemed to go smoother than the Radeon in my old laptop.
You need to stop believing what you read on Slashdot. Your laundry list of questions reads like "If I install Linux instead of Windows, will it burn my house down? Eat my babies? Rape my chihuahua?" A short answer to your question is for you to come up with a list of everything you've previously read about DRM in Vista, and assume that it's utter bollocks. You will then be quite close to the truth.
Oh, and I hear UAC is better on 7, but if not just disable it. It takes about 5 clicks.
If you managed to accidentally partition 16,402 people such that one group was exposed 31.2% less than the other, I think you could count yourself as "fairly unlucky".
Had he read the article he'd have realised how fucking pointless it was: "Benchmark shows Chrome JS engine as fast as Chrome JS engine". I bought a new keyboard recently; should I submit a story benchmarking Google Chrome using the old and new?
Haha - the fact this was modded to +5 is fucking hilarious. Hopefully one day the people who did so will grow up and realise why; but I don't hold out a great deal of hope.
Same with IE. Try typing in "www.fdsgsdfgfgs.com" and you'll indeed go to Bing. Try typing in "http://www.fdsgsdfgfgs.com" and you'll get a DNS error.
I could understand the average user not appreciating the difference, but surely everyone on this site should? Certainly the sort of people who think they're clever enough to use phrases like "hijacking NXDOMAINS".
I've not fully read through your linked page, but I suggest you really go and look at the SQL WITH statement (now in Postgres 8.4!) that addresses a huge chunk of what you propose - namely aliasing subqueries for use in subsequent queries without nesting. And using WITH RECURSIVE extends that functionality even further, allowing for e.g. better querying of hierarchical data.
But still, props for actually doing something, rather than most of the other whiny pissants in this story whose comments can be summed up as "I've never learnt anything beyond an inner join, therefore SQL sucks."
No Script may help in this case, but not in general. There was a story here only a couple of weeks back talking about a pure CSS method for doing exactly this.
Indeed. Which is why I was so disappointed when reading that piece to see that his usual anality seemed to go on holiday when it came to posting links that supported his belief:
I also doubt that every download is lost revenue since, for example, people who download more also buy more music.
If the music industry (or a quack) had posted a correlation to suggest a particular causative relationship, he'd have torn them a new one. It seems this one gets a free pass because he likes the implication.
Slashdot Mirror
Would you care to enlighten us as to what you mean by "we have a good sample"?
I suggest what you actually need is either a dictionary, or a book called "Lern 2 computar in 24 hours lol". What he said is not complicated.
What, that someone submitted a story about a song and couldn't even get its name right?

Fuck's sake.

Sorry, I mean srs bsns.
This story's about accessing private data in the first place, not sending the data once accessed.
Yeah! That'll show the PRS!

Just because IPv6 reduces the need for NAT doesn't mean you shouldn't use a firewall. I assume that's what you were talking about anyway.
You may not have known, but you did a pretty damn good job of guessing.

But if you enter a valid URL...

What site is this? I would be interested to see a link.
Unfortunately that's an unavoidable consequence of running Linux.
So that when you arrive at a monster 8 exit roundabout and receive the instruction "turn slightly left" you at least have a fighting chance?
Mere facts backed up by references are nothing compared to what you want to believe - silence him!

I can confirm that with both Opera and Firefox on Linux (Fedora 10), Slashdot is completely fucked. And they are pretty damn Slashdot-friendly combos.
I think you need to read up on what a race condition is.
