  1. Wouldn't that be sweet? on The Economics of Chips With Many Cores · · Score: 1
    If I would have a quadcore system with only two cores enabled, and two 'spare' cores. If one burns out, with the next boot another core would take over.

    Booting Linux...

  2. Re:Where is the reference image from? on First Look At the ACID3 Browser Test · · Score: 1

    That is a question of Faith

    You're not supposed to question Faith

  3. Will make many people happy on Shuttle's $200 Linux PC Part of a Trend? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I had a small silent Pentium III 800 Mhz with only XDM and IceWM preconfigured stocked somewhere, waiting for the day it would make somebody happy.

    Today was that day. My mother called that nobody could repair her expensive computer.

    I took the train, placed the computer, upgraded, created an account, installed firefox and gaim and added her printer.

    She was ready to do all she does with computers; browse, gmail, print, chat.

    If this old computer can make her happy, I'm sure these powerful 200$ boxes can make many others happy.

    Sort of like a cyborg sperm-cell; wicked.

  8. Finding your hashes on google on Using Google To Crack MD5 Passwords · · Score: 1

    I suppose about anything gets logged nowadays.

    I like to search for a part of my password on my computer every once in a while to see if programs store in plain text.

    If my password would be "zxcvbbn.34#$" then I would search for "vbbn".

    So for google; you can search for a part of your hash but still be secure.

  9. Re:But I thought that this didn't happen with FOSS on Multiple FLAC Vulnerabilities Affect Every OS · · Score: 1

    From your post I suggest you are throwing a party tonight to celebrate this event?

    You make this sound like a once-in-a-lifetime oppertunity.

  10. Re:Never has Slashdot been so wrong... on From the Moon to Earth in HD · · Score: 1

    Futurama is really funny where the future earthlings find the moon really boring and Fry wants to see the moons attraction park.

  14. What it's really about on Microsoft Windows 7 "Wishlist" Leaked · · Score: 1

    1. Publish MS Wishlist
    2. ???

    I think point two is the implementation of only minor items from the wishlist and have people think they need it.

  18. Re:Whats after Terabyte? on Hard Drive Prices Hitting New Lows · · Score: 1

    There are distribution creators pushing to many different directions. One of them is keeping it small. I think the growth of the 'operating system' will more or less flatten out.

  19. Re:The falloff of light is 1/r^2 on Intergalactic Missing Mass Missing Again · · Score: 1

    "As light fans out, it does so at the rate of 1/r^2. Double the distance, and you've quadrupled the surface area of the light beam. You've also reduced the luminosity at any point in the beam's surface by a quarter."

    You mean reduced TO a quarter or reduced by three quarters.

    Most of these are on thousands of computers.

    Wouldn't a good sharing/streaming protocol/project be the solution for storage for the average person?
