exactly.. i like to run apps for days in Windows (yes, no jokes), and ones that get slowly bogged down are noticeable - firefox has some definate mem leaks, whether they show up i guess depends on your usage. interestingly, thunderbird seems to suffer from similar problems, together they use too much (many?) resources for apps you want to keep running 24/7 in the background. but i know, its free, security is nice, etc. i'll stick with thunderbird for now. (i'm pretty sure it's not extensions where the leak is, i wonder if it's XUL related?)
hello? a browser that doesn't use 200MB RAM, 200MB VM, sometimes take minutes to restore and requires periodic restarts to get these numbers down? and is fast on slow computers. as a >1 year firefox user and advocate, seeing that firefox 1.5b hasnt really fixed these problems, i'll be trying Opera again now its free & advert free... sorry, but my time is more important than The Cause ultimately. Maybe firefox is ok for people who don't visit that many sites, or who restart often the browser/computer often, but i've been through every option i can think of and firefox still isnt "fast" or "light" for me. its also more friendly for computer-inexperienced users, so i may be advocating it for everyone soon. if so i will not be flaming firefox, just learning about Opera, and trying firefox again in the future to see how its going.
the ethics of P2P is not relevant to this discussion. what matters to users of methlabs products (of which i'm not one btw) is whether or not the people there are on their side or not. sorry but people are complicated creatures and the world just isn't that black and white.
btw i reject your simplistic idea that people who use P2P to commit copyright infringement are not also capable of honest and ethical behaviour. (besides, they may admit that their actions are illegal, but have decided they are not immoral, for example because they also purchase the material they keep or for many other possible reasons, but as i said, its not directly relevant to the topic).
my opinion is that the domain/project hijacker is likely a "worse person", and certainly a bigger menace to society, than one who downloads music they haven't paid for.
also, it's farking stupid. the point of a new mail sound (or any event sound) is to have a sound that you know means new mail. if you've got apps making random sounds, how are you meant to know what's going on.
probably why no mail app has such a feature.
oh sorry, it would be "entertaining":p
Tab works, but Space does nothing (or in Firefox (Deer Park Alpha 1), it scrolls the page down as normal).
IE6 has the same problem plus the icons flicker horribly when moused over.
maybe i'm missing something?
Well i can't help with the main problem, since i find any attempt to tidy up just makes things harder to get to, but i'll suggest something: check the total power draw on those devices, you may be running too much off one socket. (offically you aren't supposed to chain 4-ways, although everyone does). if possible, i'd take a lead to another.
Before you add a fan, you have to buy one... Fans come in sizes measured in millimeters... indicates the length and width of the fan (nearly all case fans are square)--not the diagonal measurement like that of a monitor's viewable area.... You can spot a fan mount in your PC's chassis by the presence of a grill (or many holes next to each other) surrounded by four symmetrical screw holes, one in each corner.
Jesus, am i getting smarter or are these articles getting stupider? I think if you need that kind of help, you shouldn't be using power tools. So my serious point is, who do these articles serve? And then on page 4 it just ends. "use Motherboard Monitor".
of *course* MS have to change the detection for this, they've just bought the company. otherwise we'd all be laughing at them for removing their own software.
but i say it's(hould be) irrelevant: just don't run as Admin and don't use IE and you won't have any spyware to remove...
nice, but isn't the long term problem that the wood is likely to crack or split, either just naturally or from impact. he said it already split four times when making it. 2mm thick wood, i'm not sure how tough that "would" (ahem) be.
i guess there are ways of treating wood to make it stand up but how reliable it would be to mass produce i don't know...
looks nice now though:)
Natalie Portman is not a bad actress.. i think there is no actor/actress alive who could say those lines, under those conditions, and not have me laugh. What Harrison Ford said about working with Lucas on the first Star Wars movie ("you can write this shit George, but you sure can't say it" or similar) is still true.
...Besides, always be carefully to store the BIOS source code correctly in your disks as if you update the wrong BIOS, it will be a nightmare.
lol, yep this really is in their newest manuals. and i think it looks horribly unprofessional, but maybe english speaking retail market is small enough for them not to care? Do G-B have much OEM market share? i wonder what their spanish, french etc. translations are like.. if they're translated from the English, it makes you wonder:p
Just bought a Gigabyte board because i've found them reliable and cheap. feel bad 'cos i'd like to support makers who put more effort into localisation (or indeed, are local! MSI and DFI are european i think? or at least, their manual writers are - but their boards are hard to find)
For such wonderful software*, how much it costs? Impossible! It's Free!
*it's their windows BIOS update util in case you're getting excited.
ah but for any individual, the choice is real. for example, *i* may feel happier looking after my own data. someone less geeky might well feel safer letting a big corporation do it for them (and indeed may well be safer that way). and since this issue is mostly about peace of mind anyway*, and both are flawed as you say, it is a valid distinction i think. if you give people the choice and explain the pros and cons i dont see a problem. (i have not RTFAd).
* and i would say unlikely threats, for any one individual, and compared to all the risks everyone faces in life. imho.
it's great that you have a GF but have you thought this through? she'll see all e.g. the porn you visit.. seriously i can't imagine many people would want that, no matter how close.
eh, you just weirded me out a bit with that request, but that's probably because of my own problems..
this "comes free" with the Mozilla Archive Format extension (adds an option to the page Save As type menu). I just tested it, page opened in IE, seems to work, a little slow maybe. as for your 2nd request, maybe someone else can help, i don't know sorry. btw if you didn't post anonymous you could see this reply easier..
i know next to nothing about VM systems, and even *i* can tell we have problems, by this sentence:
Even the fastest hard disk is currently over 70X slower than the dual-channel PC2700 DDR memory common in many computers. Let's not even start comparing the hard disk with faster RAM solutions like PC3200 DDR memory or...
riiight. excuse me while i laugh and read something else.
yes, can i be the first to say "placebo".
it may be faster for you for some reason, but i remember reading somewhere that people will only notice a speed increase if it's >~20% ? (in an interface, they are much more sensitive to things like audio frequency, obviously).
yup, in New Zealand games cost $100, which due to their lower average earning is like £100 to us Brits.. so no one can afford computer games, and you know what, the kids are outside playing sport, or driving around like lunatics.
god. nintendo (who i love btw) has a history of doing this. they removed all the high quality outputs (rgb, s-video) from the later SNES and left you with a choice of Composite... or RF. whoopee. In the UK, we typically get shafted even worse, with more outputs dropped for no apparent reason (or saving a few pence on the connector?). Maybe kids poke the wrong things in the wrong holes, and more is less. i dunno.
because they're not running as Admin, normally, when they're not changing system settings.. no wait, they are. /me cries.
THIS is funamentaly what MS needs to fix. but no, that would make the computer 'too hard to use'. argh. please find a way, i'm driving people crazy telling them not to run as admin.

not to mention the laser reading the disc.
