Naming it "Sponsor" would be a lot better. I really like the way LuaJit handles this and I think it's a rather good win-win. Someone gets a feature they want and the open source developer gets some funds to continue doing what they like. Hopefully the developer will say no to features that would take the software in the wrong direction.
I got a vertex 3 ssd (500MB/s read/write) drive a week or so ago. This was after I discovered that my motherboard (Asus P6X58D-E) had a SATA3 controller and I though I could actually use the performance. After I got the drive I did quite a bit of performance tests and discover that the Marvel controller they used is indeed slow.
At 4kb the drive does 75MB/s write and 82MB/s read. It peaks at 218MB/s write and 304MB/s read.
I switched over to the SATA2 Intel controller instead and at 4kb I got 152MB/s write and 146MB/s read. While it peaks at 271MB/s write and 283MB/s read.
There is some drivers at Station-Drivers that are a lot newer than the latest that Asus has but from reading around it might or might not work to flash the inbuilt controller using them. There is also no clear benchmark of what any potential gains would be. For now I have stayed away from them.
We can blame Hollywood all we want but the fact is that if they wouldn't make money on it they wouldn't produce it. So its we, the viewers, who go to these crappy sequels that are to blame. As always. Vote with your wallet.
Having said that I really hope they would leave Blade Runner alone. Wasn't it enough with the "Extended cut", "Extra cut", "Directors cut","Final cut" they made on the poor movie. I think they make like 10 different versions on that movie. Adding a extra scene for each edition.
Lately all you have heard is the complete opposite. That they are impossible to completely erase so it's unsafe to store company/secure data on them. Because even if you erase the file its still left on the disk and just marked as empty. Now they say they erase them self.
Only in a small African country called Lesotho is more rapes reported than in Sweden.

Rape reports per 100000 citizens (From 2008)
Lesotho: 91,6, Sweden: 53,2, USA: 28,6, Zimbabwe: 25,6, Norway: 19,8 Israel: 17,6
Bring up the task manager. On the "Performance" tab select "Resource Monitor..." go to the "Memory" tab.
There you will see what the memory is used for and you can see that "standby" memory is not reported as used if you check the task bar.
A tip is also to just hover the mouse over the colored bar to see what that memory is used for in more detail.
I wonder if they are going all the way in this so we will get a 'Hot donut' section in The Simpsons game? Homer getting freaky with his favorit donut and a good 'adult only' rating.
Both at home for my own personal usage and at work are we using axosofts OnTime. It works really well and a new version is just around the corner. For a single user it's completely free and it has both a web, windows client and a visual studio integration.
For the small notes I keep for myself I then use TodoList
Okay, this is how I did it. It wasn't to hard to figure out that what was needed was the correct version of "msbackup.exe". That's an old dos backup program. The version in MsDos 6.22 didn't work but the version in 6.0 did. This backup file was then protected with a password. The password in question was so simple so I got it in the first try. It was "ladepujd" that's "djupedal" backwards so I can't understand how they have had such a problem figuring that one out and that was all that was needed. The actual database files weren't encrypted in anyway so all the searching for a dBase IV password decrypter was pointless.
What's most fun about all this is all the attention it got when it was so simple to solve. I just wonder how long they had been trying to crack it before they even got public with the problem. Anyway at least it's done and that's the important part. I sent the decrypted files with a description to them last night so now they can at least stop wondering how to retrieve the files.
Yes, it really is done. For the interested this is the first 200 rows of it http://www.student.hig.se/~na98jbr/bok.htm The formatting is crap but at least it shows that it's done. Took an hour to do but it was a fun challenge. Just hope they have some use for it. All 11106 rows of it.

Have you tried Slashdot 3D?
Yes, I have. Right click anywhere on slashdot. Select inspect element. Click 3D button on bottom right corner. Welcome to the future!

Just dont get it though GoDaddy or any other US based company or they can probably close down your site anyway.

If they fix the bugs how can we continue using some bugs to get around other more critical bugs as we can do with IE6?!
