I noticed that these energy saving light bulbs are noticibly dimmer than claimed on the packaging. I did a test connecting both a 60W normal light bulb and a 15W philips fluorescent light bulb in the same room. The Fluorescent was claimed to be as bright as a normal 75W bulb, but it was noticibly dimmer than the 60W bulb. I think the problem is they measure the total light enimating from the total surface area of the bulb, rather than any real world test of how bright the room is lit. If you look at a normal bulb the light is a lot brighter, but it's just enimating from just one single point, while the florescent light has much dimmer light but enimating from a larger surfice area
The survey at codeproject shows a marked lack of enthusiasm(http://www.codeproject.com/script/surve y/detail.asp?survey=643) and that is very MS oriented site.
AMD will have a process with the low k thingy one year after Intel. I suspect IBM delibrately made their announcement on the same day to take the wind out of Intels sails, even though they're a year behind.
Other media players don't have the same limitation as Zune. Zune only can connect to Windows XP PCs, so they loose the marketshare of Windows 2000, Mac and Linux
but now I notice a new trend. Some spammers are actually putting news headlines in the subject field.
On top of that the black hats are now finding ways to spam emule search results.
Every search you make in Emule will return a fake hit... something like *_using_emule_multimedia_toolbar.exe. If you exectute that program your machine will be infected with a virus.
Interesting. But that still leaves the questions, where do you get the antimatter from? Must be incredibly difficult to get 5 tonnes of the stuff together without blowing youself to pieces in the process.
Actually you don't even need to look for the non-windows version. They will automaically offer to sell you the PC without Windows at the end of the customization process and you save $30 (I tried using the OptiPlex 320)
According to the Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniella_Cicarelli) that video caused the Brazilian stock market computers to crash, because they were downloading so so much. So now we know what the work ethic is like in the stock market
I can't disagree completely. Mozilla used to be better in the old days, pre- 1.0 they were a lot more disposed to fixing bugs, but at least they still fix security bugs and show stoppers.
"The company has fairly strict policies defining when it stops supporting older products. In the case of Windows 2000, the end of what Microsoft calls "mainstream support" came in June 2005."
Since when did MS support any OS? I mean if I report a bug in Windows XP it won't be fixed. MS help desk will just tell me that's a "known issue", or they won't even admit the bug exists. So, basically I have the same level of support in Win 2000 as any other version. All you need to do is avoid using MS products ( I mean IE, WMP, Messanger, Outlook, etc.) and you can continue to use Windows 2000 without any fear. Security updates will continue for the non-MS versions of those programs.
You're right. It's unlikely that any part of the space station offers sufficent protection against gamma rays. Probably on of the modules is a bit more protected than the others
I use Win 2000 at home and WinXP at work. Don't see a single thing that I need from XP. Actaully, they made XP more hard to use if anything. It hard to get Hibernation working. The tellytuby interface is enabled by default. The explorer search files function is harder to use and so on-
Well that's a demo that was written specifically to showcase that c# is not slower than non managed languages. Try a more real world case, somebody rewrote Quake2 in managed c++ (http://www.codeproject.com/managedcpp/quake2.asp) linking it to.NET and it ran 85% of the speed of the origonal... I assume that c# would be even slower because of the way it creates all objects on the heap That at least shows that while managed code doesn't perform bad, it's definately slower than c++

Mircrosoft secretly used the same user-testing system as the GIMP project.

What about windows 2000?
Well actually, by your defenition now there's no difference... didn't you read the artical?

Few people would be stupid enough to download the exe, but you still get your search results spammed, which is the thing that is annoying.
There's an interesting artical at Extreem tech about the wave of spam that hit us last year:7 ,00.asp

What about beer? I'm sure it's full of those electrodide thingys. I've always argued that beer was good for your health
How is that hypothetical?

hmm, you went though all the major MS appologizer's lame excuses and even added a few new one's. Well done!
What about the infamous PNG alpha transpancy bug, so? What was the "very good reason " for ingoring that one?
Just an example of coarse.
