  1. Re:Finally a voice of reason on Less Might Be More · · Score: 1

    I agree, but for that reasons you got a dual processor setup ;) Ah the joys of being able to encode video streams and compile code at full speed :p

  2. I used to use Camino on Interview with Camino Developer Mike Pinkerton · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But then I switched to Safari because I just loved pithHelmet, but Safari is prone to weird rendering errors and the timeout of 60 seconds is enough to drive one mad.

    So atm, Im using Firefox with adblock. But Camino + adblock would be a dream setup.

    Anyone know if it's possible?

  7. Re:Browser stats also gone on OS Stats Removed From Google's Zeitgeist · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well by doing so, the people responsible for the site will see that they have about 100% hits from Internet Explorer, so why bother changing? Better would be to bug them with an email threatening to take your business elsewhere.

    Man that server went down fast but quiet.

  9. How dumb can on DVD-Watching Driver Charged with Murder · · Score: 1

  11. Get an external hardrive on Online Storage Solutions for Home Users? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Backup to it every month and leave it at a friends place. Just make sure that you stay friend with him/her :) You don't want someone to take a peek at your personal love letters now do you.

  12. Great on System Downtime, Maintenance · · Score: 1

    I was out having a nice time when Slashdot went down. I missed this holy moment when the holy site went down. From now on I will never leave the house.

  13. I read wikipedia alot on Wikipedia Hits 300,000 Articles · · Score: 1

    And it's mainly because many of the topics interest me because they were written by fellow geeks. Where else can I get a detailed explanation of Linux, various old OSes. Even though many of my less geeky friends have found out about it and started using it and surprise liked it!

  14. Re:Camino? Use Firefox instead. on Friday Mac Release Roundup · · Score: 1

    There's always PithHelmet Safari ad blocking. It works great.

  15. Get a LCD screen on Handling Eye-Strain? · · Score: 1

    I got a flat panel iMac and it's great. The LCD screen is much comfortable to look at than a regular CRT screen. Though my other screen used to be a CRT set at 1024*768 with a refresh rate at 60Hz.

  20. Re:For the quantumly challenged amoung us on Web Quantum Computer Simulator · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://www.howstuffworks.com/news-item210.htm

    The superior power of quantum computers is due to their ability to simultaneously exist in several different, wavelike states, called superpositions. Conventional bits of data only exist in one of two states, a 1 or 0. A qubit can exist in a superpostion that is simultaneously both 1 and 0. To handle quantum data, a computer's switches must be able to interact with one another while maintaining these superpositions, so that the qubits don't fall back into 1's or 0's. Until now, researchers have tried to hold qubits in entangled states, meaning the state of any one qubit depends on the state of all others. Using this method, the collapse of one qubit back into a 1 or 0 would result in lost data.

    But then again, it's impossible to earn anything there without half of it being taken away by the state.

    Yeah, too bad we got other freedom from that such as free school from 6 years old until you're 18 years. Where if you want you can continue with higher education for free! For 3 to 5 more years depending on what your learning. Or how about free dentist help and healtcare up to age 18. Ah I feel like such a prisoner.
