I'm running gentoo on an athlon 64 desktop, that might be the difference. On my old p3 450 kde was faster than Xp as well though. Maybe windows is more geared towards middle specs, or maybe mandrake is too krufty(too many services loaded at boot, too large of a kernel etc). Looks like you have enough ram, so maybe you'll want to enable the "preload an instance of konqueror" option in the kde control center under "Kde performance" (similar to IE preloading in windows), but if it's everything and not just konqueror thats bothering you then it wouldn;t be worth it. Actually, sounds like mandrake might not be fully using your HDD bandwidth(did it enable dma etc?). Something is definately wrong though, it sounds like my p3 450, while compilling C++, in performance.
These drivers also appear to have fixed a pesky bug that made some athlon64 based systems only able to use the 64bit driver. I wasnt looking forward to reinstalling my system, and now I can play games! My system is an hp pavilion a530n in case anyone wants to know a specific system affected.
a DNA database for convictions, but for arrest? That's just stupid. And there should be a method for getting your info removed if you are wrongfully convicted and succesfully prove your innocence. It seems as though the proponents of this have alterior motives, and are counting on abusing the system i9n advance.
So you'd feel safer if only millionairs can finance deadly virus creation? Most of the bad people are the ones who can already do underground biotech. A crazy lone gen-engineer who wants to kill everybody is no more likely than a crazy millionaire terrorist, drug lord, "industrialist", etc. wanting to do so. I'd much prefer the quicker advancement of science, and the freedom, of open-source style biotech.
"Why? So we can then proceed to destroy other worlds in the same way as we have ours?"
It's that type of not caring about the fate of our species sentiment that causes all that destruction. The most important thing in our precarious stage is to get some self-sustaining colonies as far away from earth as possible.
As long as the controlling body isn't the USA, the only ones who have attacked with nuclear weapons, ever, and the ones who are testing the waters of the media for tolerance of "tactical nukes", they're smaller don't worry. It would have to be a powerful group whose sole concern is the human race as a whole, not one country, ethnicity, economic circle etc, but the species itself.
Tonnes of people don't buy music anymore, and the record companies are feeling it, although the company pratices might just be a justification for many to get free music, as long as they aren't funding the RIAA warchest it may actually push them to change thier ways one day(if they don't buy new government laws first).
There are other means of software distrobution than online, which is what this law covers, so a jail sentence can be activated by a malicious software distributor, or hardware manufacturer, who has broken the GPL, if they were to begin distributing thier stolen code infected programs online for the first time.
Commies! That's the type of thing that is seriously considered in countries like soviet russia and china, and if a country's actions don't denote it's govermental system, then what does?
Since both france and the USA have enough nukes to char broil each other. And since when has talking about going to war against a democratic, peaceful, and nuke bearing western european country been a sane thing to talk about in the USA? It's that kind of humanity risking talk that causes anti-americanism.
Actually your totally wrong. The intentions for the bear suit were hibernation research, which could lead to things like a stasis drug for deep space missions.
Funny how you don't mention anything about the american influence over the british bitching level. It's quite obvious that the United states would very much hate a united and prosperous europe, and it's quite obvious that britain is the one european country that they have a chance of prying away from the EU.

It's faster than windows as far as I can tell. Please be more specific in which way it is slower, I'd like to check it out.

So they are having elections in Iraq in 9 days? It's not a free country until they have elected leaders.

In ontario anyway, there are plenty of excess teachers.

While I can accept that a lot of people might care about apple merchandise, it doesn't make a difference to me, my player supports my formats.

So they are patenting morse code then?

Only if they broke the GPL and then distributed that broken software online, then probably yes.
Again.
Commies! That's the type of thing that is seriously considered in countries like soviet russia and china, and if a country's actions don't denote it's govermental system, then what does?
But would a engineered virus allow for the ownership of people, and on a massive scale?

Diddo. For anyone wondering it's episode #3 "Rub 'N Tiz'zug" of season 4.
It would depend on how strong the obediance conditioning of enlisted troops is. They are trained not to question orders, just follow as a tool.

Acutally if hardware sales ever stall, I'm sure we'll see alot more hardware killing virii.
I just hope they don't start making fake songs containing spam adverts, and spreading them on the p2p networks.
