Prioritization of I/O not just CPU usage in tasks. Prioritization?
Here is a good example of the progression of GUI centric tweaks without fixing performance errors in the (kernel) core:
For my work support, I have a very nice Dell XPS-1210 with xp with all of the latest updates and this week I was having a problem with burning CDs. At first, I thought the problem must be cheap media as I was burning coasters now and again.
Turns out - I traced the problem to my screen-saver kicking in. Dang, I had this same problem with 98_SP-1.
I will not buy Vista under the promise that this has been fixed.
WTF? Not meaning to be a troll or inviting flames but seriously, is there a WindozeXP fix for this, short of turning off my screen-saver?
At home my various personal machines all run Linux (Fedora Core, Debian, Gentoo - and OpenWRT on my wireless router)
I surf the web while playing music while burning CDs/DVDs on any of my Linux machines and never make a coaster.
It appears this unit requires GatesWare. This runs against my prime directive - never to connect to the internet under the influence of Redmond binaries. Won't happen _ever_again in this house.
Scott gimme a hug... Get away from me you lazy-eyed psycho!
OK, this story was pretty cool until I got to page two and three.
On page two this guy wants us to believe that former special ops EW dudes have been
recruited to help build their coms infrastructure - no real match of disciplines there - beside the stretch that our ops people would sell out just like that...
Then on page three, the author wants us to believe that the bad guys have gotten P3 Orion surveillance schedules (doubtful since they aren't scheduled - on purpose) and even better, the black-hats have gone airborne to map radar patterns of the Orions with fuzzbusters.
Hooey and keerhyst, I have had enough of this!
In the age of en-bomb and world-dom it makes sense the media would BS their way to profitability.
Too bad the average Joe might be taken in by some of the fiction in this.

when those two words form a sentence it is time to run away when it comes to 'online music'. >;-)

...Over -
You can't be so short on material to keep crud around for long.
Thanks for listening.
Ok quick now - what is behind you, now don't turn around or your behind becomes your front.
Now don't look down or your top becomes...
hoo hah.
