  1. Re:more numbers... on United Kingdom Leads the World in TV Downloads · · Score: 1

    sorry to be nitpicky but ancient romans would have said "pro capite" and not "per capita", unless you meant to speak another language ;-)

  3. Re:Learning It? on How Not to Write FORTRAN in Any Language · · Score: 1

    actually I tried both on my powerbook. gfortran frequently choked on my codes where g95 was just compiling. Performancewise however g95 sucks, I mean it REALLY sucks. It was generally more than ten times slower than gfortran. By the way gfortran, being part of gcc 4.0, supports loop vectorization. cheers

  4. www.dvdr-core.org down too on TorrentBits.org and SuprNova.org Go Dark · · Score: 2, Informative

  5. anybody remembering the Samba/Samba TNG Fork? on Samba 4 Reaches "Susan" Stage · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So basically the Samba team is doing what they believed was too ambtious in 2000, thus leading to the forked Samba - TNG project. Am I correct?

    Judging from the results probably Tridgell & co. were right...

  8. Maxwell Equations on Greatest Equations Ever · · Score: 1

    Maxwell Equations! They just work! They were formulated before relativity theory was out, yet they proved relativity invariant. As soon as you write them for real media instead for the void they work a little worse, though...

  9. Re:Conservation of energy. on On-CPU Peltiers From AMD? · · Score: 1

    yes but your refrigerator is going to need some external work (the electricity the refrigerator sucks) in order to move heat from the cold temperature (inside the refrigerator) to the hot temperature (the outside). That's what the second law of thermodynamics says: without an external imput of energy heat flows always from the hot to the cold resevoir. Just to be picky ...

  10. Re:Yea you are really safe keep telling yourself t on Spyware/Adware Prevention In Large Deployments? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    look I have mod points but I prefer to answer you... First if you have Automatic Update on chances that a hole in IE is exploited are extremely low. Indeed where I work it NEVER happened on patched machines (on non patched it HAPPENED). Second, again even if there was an hole if you are limited user a typical spyware program that exploits the hole won't be able to install its ActiveX thing so the parent was right since the topic is about spywares. This was experimentally confiremd here where I work: we have 50 desktops, all the users are not working as administrator but one (the usual stubborn dumbass). Well only the dumbass has been infested in more than two years. Based on these observation my feeling is that spyware developers target the usual home users working as administrator on an unpatched machine, as soon as you make the user limited the spyware stops working. If you had some real life windows admin practice you would have come to the same conclusion...but this is slahdot we know. Ah by the way don't you think you were just a tad too arrogant?

    I found out that on safary page scrolling is terrribly jerky on Macs with a graphic card not supporting Quartz Extreme. In that case Camino works just fine.

    you just retype in terminal

  15. The File Open dialog box on Fedora Core 2 Dud or Dodo? · · Score: 1

    ... But my favorite tool, gedit, is no longer suitable for that purpose, because, as you can see from the screen shot at right, there is no longer any way to type a filename into the File Open dialog! ...

    to achieve the same result istead of opening the file within gedit he could simply type in a terminal

    gedit /etc/whatever_is_your_confile

    I don't like these reviewers who shit tout court negative opinions only because there is ONE new feature that doesn't fit properly into his GUI accustomations
