It's the coolest because it puts off less heat than most, using the head-pipe feature off the cpus.
first off, i'm guessing you meant heat pipe, second off, heat != temperature. the cpu may run cooler, but it still puts out the exact same amount of heat.
Run a big HVAC and hook it up to those pipes, and all of a sudden you have A/C cooling directly on your chips, and its more quiet to boot.
ok, these arent exactly pvc pipes, they are heatpipes, which are sealed and run up and into a little heatsink. also, even if you could somehow plumb these into some a/c setup, it would not be good. cold+hot == condensation, and we all know how electronics love condensation.
why dont you enlighten us as to what these magical maintenance procedeures are?
sure with any real OS you can clean things up somehow, if something goes wrong, but what can you do with windows? how can you fix dll hell without just reinstalling? messed up registry? these things arent just "point, click, fixed".
intellectual property is a joke. the only moment that matters is NOW. trying to collect money for years and years, for something you did once, is just lazy. go out and play concerts, you will gain more fans, make more money, and everyone will be happy. just because the powers that be have screwed you doesnt mean you should screw others.
once again, intellectual property is a joke. information wants to be free, witholding of information is greedy and dangerous, and will not further the human race. if the human race destroys itself, it will be due to greed.
and please reply with your thoughts instead of modding me to hell, i think i am making perfectly valid points here. thanks
If we really do get so stupid as to actually cause our own destruction
i dont know if, or how much things will change in the future, but as it stands right now we seem to be on the path to self destruction, or at least earth destruction.
Those who are stuck with BIND 4 for legacy reasons or whatnot are probably best off switching over to a chroot'd configuration - it's all very easy and the functionality is already built in.
three cheers for chroot, ironically i was going to re-setup bind today, and after reading this story, i decided it'd be good to install a chroot'ed bind9. a google search for 'chroot bind' and about an hour of time was all that was needed, and its working beautifully:)
this is whitey, trying to keep information from us.
knowledge == power.
whitey wants to keep his power.
whitey wants more power. it has to come from somewhere.
it will come from you.
dont give whitey more power. forget about laws and politics and money. see it as a human. you are one person, and other people are trying to keep information from you, so that they can have power over you. intellectual property is a joke, it is only a means of gaining more power. power power power. coming out of your ass.
seriously though, it seems that attempting to discuss bsd here at slashdot is a difficult proposition at best, can anyone recommend some sites where there is some intelligent discussion of bsd news and issues, without the annoying "BSD is dying" crap? deadly.org is the only one i know of and its pretty slow.
any links / suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
this review is pretty lame IMO, they failed to review: both sparkle and pc power & cooling, probably two of the highest regarded names in power supplies, while at the same time they reviewed such no-name junk as "engelking", "coba", "channel well", "scs", "task", and "levicom".
and the summary is also quite worthless. basically they recommend 3 no-name brands as the "winners", no one is going to buy these due to availability and/or fear of no-name brands, while THG also recommends antec psu's to those who cannot find the others, which is also stupid because people already buy antecs in droves.
also we have the issue of rebranding. many power supplies on the market are simply rebranded no-name power supplies, how do we know that just because one "herolchi" power supply tested well, all others will also be top quality? the different herolchi models could be from completely different manufacturers!
i wont argue with your experiences, but certain hardware tends to gain a reputation on hardware message boards and whatnot, and everytime i see sparkle mentioned, i see nothing but praise and recommendation. how could they have grown such a reputation if they supposedly fail so much?
and of course its only anecdotal but i've owned two so far and they worked great.
i used to always strive to quiet my computer more and more, undervolting fans to 7v or 5v, i had my p233 absolutely SILENT, except for the loud hard drive.
but now, building my new system, i have 4 moderate (sound) volume fans, but they really dont bother me. they produce a calm whir, and they're actually kind of soothing at night:P
but the whole silent pc thing isnt all that hard, really. just put in some panaflo L1A's (undervolted if necessary), a seagate barracuda IV, and you are good to go. i dont see why people go to such extremes, for little to no improvement.
The worst are the hardware sites like Anandtech, with pages and pages of stuff that a good writer could express in a couple of paragraphs. Reading these sites is like listening to a 14 year old blab on about his model airplanes or something.
bahaha thats so true! but isnt that what its all about? for computer dorks, hardware is cool, we wanna know all kinds of interesting, useless things about it.
how much is the "average user"'s opinion worth in this scenario? X is not used by the same audience as windows. you should not steal features from the experienced users to satisfy windows morons.
i've tried most of the wm's around, with the exception of ion and ratpoison, due to what seem to be obvious conflicts between my idea of an ideal desktop, and ion/ratpoisons developers' idea of it.
i used blackbox more than any other, moved to pwm, liked it (impressively customizeable) but it had some shortcomings, moved to sawfish, loved the key/mouse binding flexibility (double click root window for an xterm woo hoo!!), but it was slow on my little p233 when the system is under full load. now i use openbox, with 2 modifications i made to it:
moving/resizing a window does NOT raise the window. i dont like not having control over window stacking like that, leave the damn thing where it is. what if i have a window partially overlapping another window, and i want to resize the bottom window? i have to resize it, and THEN fix the stacking because the wm did it for me? stupid.
the mouse wheel now allows me to manually control window stacking. alt+wheelup sends the window to the bottom, alt+wheeldown brings it to the front. as usual with openbox and almost all wm's, alt+leftmousebutton moves the window, and alt+rightbutton resizes it. *VERY* handy.
like anything else, its not for everyone, but its _PERFECT_ for me.
(btw, while i doubt many people have the same preferences as me, if you use openbox and are interested in the patch, feel free to email me, mack-at-incise.org, or come into #openbox on freenode)
- No (recent version) VMware support. This is simply unacceptable since I use VMware every day to get my job done.
do you mean support as in support, or support as in, the dang thing dont run?
i've been eyeing freebsd for a while, but if vmware wont run, thats going to be very detrimental to me..

another rather annoying thing is "this manpage is old and incomplete, please see the info document for $program". i hate info. give me manpages, dammit, and good ones.

they must not be hosting it on a beowulf cluster of these!

Large corporations have too much power.
just curious....what do you mean by you "don't trust Mozilla"?
i dont know if, or how much things will change in the future, but as it stands right now we seem to be on the path to self destruction, or at least earth destruction.
Real solid reasoning there.
Anyway, I'm sure most people stopped reading at the first line, so I'll stop responding.
No Mercy!!
i just about spat all over my monitor from that!

depends on who you ask.

if you ask me, i'll tell you freedom is more important than quality, and price is a part of freedom.
i'd also tell you that i dont see much quality in MS products anyways
