  1. Re:Just moving the problem really on Windows 8 To Feature 'Fast Startup Mode' · · Score: 1

    My users never "wait" for the computer to shutdown. They click shutdown and walk away, not caring much if the computer hangs before halting or not... On the other hand they complain more often about slow startup caused by roaming profiles and group policies. So any speed up in the boot/logon process is welcome.

  2. Re:Poor Nokia suffered the Osborne effect on Microsoft Exec Responds To the Google-Motorola Deal · · Score: 1

    No, poor Nokia suffered the effect of taking MS's money. They kill everything they touch.

    Well, the future sometimes bring unexpected plot twists... Even if its in the long term. http://www.pcworld.com/article/5156/microsoft_to_invest_in_apple_jobs_ellison_on_board.html

  3. Screw you nerds on 10/10/10 — a Nice Day To Celebrate the Meaning of Life · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'll stick to the X-X-X meaning

  4. They still have a chance... on Where Does Dell Go After Losing 3Par? · · Score: 3, Funny

    After losing 3com and 3par to HP, they always can try with 3M.

  5. Re:Google Policy on Automatic Updates on Google Builds a Native PDF Reader Into Chrome · · Score: 1

    These Crashes are in the developement version which is completely opt in. Just like the beta. I don't see a major issue there. But I agree at least on the bandwith part. I like to turn off automatic updates for everythin when I'm using the laptop with my 3G connection. A notification about avalaible updates would be good and let choose the user when to update.

  6. Re:Looking slightly dangerous for Rudd on Australian Government Delays Internet Filter Legislation · · Score: 1

    You have a much better option http://www.sexparty.org.au/

  7. We all know it on Pope Rails Against the Internet and Transparency · · Score: 1

    Ignorance is bliss

  8. "technically competent users" are a lot these days on Aussie Gov't To Introduce Bill That Would Require ISP-Level Censorship · · Score: 1

    This will work till the next pedo scandal. Then the average citizens will ask themselves where the hell their taxes are going.

  9. It's not like MS based is a bad platform... on London Stock Exchange To Abandon Windows · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ...is just the WRONG platform for this. Stock Exchange, like many transaction based business, needs real time systems and Windows 2003 plus SQL as far I know don't make a RT platform.

  10. Re:Starter Edition could do this since XP. Old New on Windows 7 Starter Edition — 3 Apps Only · · Score: 2

    Yeah, we know this... ..as we know nobody uses it. I never spotted a single copy of it.

  11. Re:No news is good news on Windows Server 2008 One Year On — Hit Or Miss? · · Score: 1

    2008 R2, will give much more reasons to upgrade from 2003. Really interesting looks the move to 64bit only architectures, the vastly improved Hyper-V and the emphasis on performance optimizations. Related to the the Hyper-V enhancements and in particular the actual live migration support, I think that would be the moment to position itself as a real alternative to VMWare and Xen based hypervisors. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/R2-top-reasons.aspx/.

  12. Re:This is great for Australia but... on Half-Petaflop Supercomputer Deployed In Austin · · Score: 1

    oh wait idiot... is austin not australia.---

  13. This is great for Australia but... on Half-Petaflop Supercomputer Deployed In Austin · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this supercomputer has bandwith caps like most aussies.

  14. Re:riiiiiight.... on Laser TV — the Death of Plasma? · · Score: 1

    HD-DVD and blue-ray are in fact far and away superior to DVD. The problem with them is DRM.

    On the other hand H.264 is part of the specification (but not mandatory) on both formats.

    I'm quite unimpressed of your knowledge.

  15. Processor driver on Vista Runs Hot on Macbook Pro · · Score: 1

    Maybe it needs a vendor supplied processor driver to get full power management. Just like AMD64 processors need a driver to get Cool n' Quiet working.

  16. There's Novell Groupwise too on Lotus Notes For Linux To Be Released By IBM · · Score: 2, Informative

    Since version 6.5 (now it's at 7.0.1) Novell Gropwise runs natively on Linux clients and servers and IMHO is more refined than Lotus as groupware suite. Of course Lotus Notes is much more than a groupware suite, but I wonder how many companies use it as application framework or document database.

  17. Re:Spain is so backwards on Spain Outlaws P2P File-Sharing · · Score: 3, Informative

    well, bullfighting is common in france too

  18. Re:selinux on Fedora Core 5 Available · · Score: 1
