  2. Re:What are the requirements? on How to Avoid IE-Specific WWW Development? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is it simply a means to control costs? the testing and bug fixing time would be much greater if multiple platforms are supported

    Actually depends. My experience shows that when you use IE as development browser (and are clueless about standards) it takes later significantly more time to get this working in Firefox.
    But using Firefox (forces standards on you) as dev browser means you probably get it working in IE later with almost no additional time.
    And since Firefox javascript debugging capabilities and overall usefullness to developer is greater than that of IE .. everything is clear at least to me.

  3. Re:random current cmd gripes on Windows to Have Better CLI · · Score: 1

    it doesn't work when you have for example file called bic in there too.

    You'll get something along the lines:

    It still won't play MPEG4-ASP profile media files? No qpel, gmc extensions?

    Dooh, this was the reason I waited for AV500 (now this unit).

    I feel somewhat betrayed.

  6. Re:Good. on Following up on Torrent Shutdowns · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Furthermore, this is exactly what should be happening: the government attacks those who break the law, rather than those who create the tools. Bit torrent and p2p applications have legal, useful purposes; by seeking those who use them in illegal ways rather than banning them altogther is appropriate, rather than trying to ban them.

    Posting some obscure file with .torrent extension attached to the end of filename should be legal too.

    Saying otherwise will only bring ultimate doom of our society a little bit closer.

  7. Re:TV degrading on Broadband Usage Up, TV Usage Down · · Score: 1

    18 months - oh man, you should come live in estonia. make that 18 years ... and even then you will not see those interesting shows (population so small - 10 people interested in sci-fi - no station will ever buy this kind of shows for so few people). And here is the internet - that has helped me to watch those shows for 4-5 years already.

  8. Re:Page rendering errors on Firefox 1.0 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    This a known problem/bug for many Firefox relases. For some of them this occured more frequently. For some, less. It should be fixed in Firefox CVS, but Firefox team didn't want to include this in 1.0 because they were afraid the fix could break some other sites.

  9. Re:1 CPU vs. Hyperthreading... on Sybase Releases Free Enterprise Database on Linux · · Score: 1

    How many of the chucklehead companies out there who license software "per CPU" are getting kicked in the groin by Microsoft hyperthreading? (Hyperthreading makes one CPU show up as two.)

    Microsoft? Last I checked it was Intel who invented Hyperthreading(TM).

    But even more it interests me how this 1 CPU limitation copes with upcoming AMD dual-core CPUs? They are essentialy 2 CPUs/cores packed into one CPU/die sitting in one socket... So is it one CPU for Sybase or two?

    Moz AFAIC has completely different architecture and is developed security in mind.

  18. hplj1200 example on Slow Printing on Linux? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In my case gs-esp generates such a inefficient postscript sometimes (pages with images is the best example) that it seems that not raw bandwidth over parallel/usb is not the problem but printer's slow processor is unable to build in-memory image quickly. And so sometimes happens that printing from Windows takes 2 minutes for a PDF but from linux machine it can take half an hour.

  25. third party drivers on Hardware Selection for AMD64 + Linux? · · Score: 1

    Except for NVidia/ATI GPU's you do not need any other drivers from manufacturers. Everything is in kernel. And nobody will help you with kernel proplems if you have third-party drivers/modules loaded (have tainted the kernel). So stick with what kernel comes with and use NVIdia/ATI drivers for their GPUs if you really need 3d acceleration and such.
