Even more, in the box of every xx GB drive, it says:
* Hard Drive capacity: xx GB
1 GB is 1,000,000,000 bytes
so it's not false advertising or anything.
Want false advertising? Sandisk is selling their keychain usb drives with the usb hi-speed (480mbps) logo when they are only full-speed capable (12mbps)
i think you should go back to school and learn about Venn's diagrams all over again.
Read my previous answer again. It wasn't supposed to add to 100, because for example, 99.99% of msn use is divided in how much of that 99.99% where using msn by itself or using msn with another service like yahoo
my cruzer does have the hi-speed logo, and it performs like usb 1.1, and i can guarentee that my usb 2.0 ports are working ok since i have tested them with other true hi-speed devices.
My box of my cruzer mini drive says "hi-speed usb 2.0" and displays the logo "hi-speed certified usb 2.0", so i expect 480mbps from it instead of the lousy 12mbps i am getting.
Yes, i have usb 2.0 ports with their drivers installed, and yes, i have used true 2.0 devices at full speed before on them.
I bought a sandisk little keychain usb drive, because it costed 60$ with 256mb of ram, and it is supposed to be usb 2.0 hi-speed compatible, as advertised on the box.
I only get 1.5 mb/second from it (12 mbps a.k.a 1.1)
yes, yes, jabber rules because it's open source... but in the real world, jabber sucks, no web cam, audio, file sending/receiving through the im transports, buddy icons, etc.
People will use jabber when it gets good enough to be used other than in a corporate environtment
Debian unstable just checks if it compiles. Depending on a setup, it may run or not (for example, it may require a new glibc because it was compiled with that and you dont have it already)
Gentoo stable gets tested long enough, and certainly is not old (of course, not as stable as debian stable), and some of the times i need "unstable" packages because they havent been moved to stable (like xchat 2.02 for example)
And since you get to compile it, it compiles against YOUR libraries, therefore you don't need to get whatever the debian packager is smoking
Venezuela has about 11 million people eligible to vote.
Both of the times Chavez has won, he won with 3.7 millon votes.
Of those 11 million, 5 didn't vote
About 2.3 million votes remaining went to the opposition.
Now, we have about 4.4 million votes that want an amendment to the constitution, shorting his term from 6 years to 4. But there is currently no electoral power to take this into measure.
We also have 4 million votes to void his presidency, but it must be after half his period (this august)
You don't have to be rich to go to college here. In fact, public colleges are better than the private ones (in academic terms) and they cost 0.75$ each semester
Except that now there are more people in poverty than before, nearly 20% of the population is in unemployement and 60% on informal economy , and the dollar->bolivar exchange rate has tripled

I feel ripped off. I have wrote sandisk already.
Let's see what they say about it.

This is fraud, scam, ripoff
Here in Venezuela:
99.99% use msn
0.01% use yahoo only
5% use msn and yahoo
1% use msn and icq
0% use aim

easy message sucks. no tabbed windows a la gaim, and it asks permission for the 600 people in my reverse list (msn) to be added.
The only good thing about it is its size. BTW, their webpage listed yahoo as broken too.
It doesn't get used because it sucks. When it supports file transfer, voice and video conversation , buddy icons and pictures, then i will switch

You mean, like Progeny? Lindows? Xandros?
But since debian is based on volunteer work, and has some religious beliefs, great packages like xfree 4.3 and mplayer are missing.
no xfree 4.3, no mplayer, no lots of other things
Do desktop users care about social contracts?
How about multiplatform? No?
They care more that they cannot view divx because the library that does it may not be gpl.
They care that lots of packages they want, they cannot install them with apt-get because of licensing issues.
They care when they get crippled packages of they favorite applications because of the same (mplayer)
You proved my point. You use debian as a server. Great use.
Desktop users, move along, nothing to see here. Even lindows does a decent job
Yeah, for example, when installing xd2, it leaves you without a usable apt-get.
I had to recompile db4 with a custom spec file in order to get apt-get back
Most users don't care about ethics, otherwise no one would use windows at all.
People just want software that works, and works easily. Debian is good for servers, not for the desktop

The only good things about debian is: stability, and apt-get
The price to pay with stability is that you get to use very old applications. If you use unstable, then it breaks.
Apt-get has been copied off by every distro now. So if you are using linux in a desktop, skip debian (great for servers though)
Is this for real?
You have been able to do that since netscape 4.7 or even earlier.
So, they store the files on the server?
How dumb. That killed napster, you know?
Can you write a closed source program with GPL software? NOT LIKELY...

First of all, it's Hugo Chavez, second, the military forces are neutral (if they were against him he would be gone)
Here in Venezuela the situation is similar but not so extreme.
We don't have lockers in school, so we can't get stuffed inside them.
You don't see nerds with pocket protectors, because here the school system uses uniforms.
You can't get a car to school. Either bus or your mommy drives ya.
So HS here is really quiet. Yes you have some fights and some bullying around but that's it.
College is pretty similar to regular high school, depends on the college. Goverment funded colleges don't have this problem as most people are poor.
