Yeah, that's what I do to. I have found if I jsut cp everything I need to/dev/null the data transfer is SUPER fast. I haven't needed to recover anything yet, but the speed at which I can back up my system is so fast that I can afford to do full backups several times a day. It must go to a spot on my hard drive platter that is near the spindle and can spin really fast - but I'm not a kernel hacker so I'm not really sure.
Hey, man, if all/some that shit happens, the last thing I am going to fscking care about is my backups. I think I will be glad if I am alive, and go from there...
What good are my financial backups if my bank is now a pile of rubble?:) (joke)
My experience has been similar to yours. I have had RtCW crash maybe twice, but I think it was punkbuster related. Either way, it didn't bring the machine down, just the game crashed.
I have been fairly pleased with nVidia's drivers, and I appreciate that they support linux with my GeForce 4ti. It rocks.
Long ago, yes, mandrake was based on redhat. this is simply not the case now. I think what you mean is mandrake is RPM based.
Mandrake is quite a different animal now, but it does share the same package system. You are right, though, in that sometimes you can't use a redhat rpm to install on mandrake, but 99% of the time that is false.
You are stupid. No, ignorant. It is MUCH more efficient to generate power at a power plant than under the hood of your car. It would be cleaner to generate all the power in one place.
Modern coal plants are not that dirty, they are much cleaner than every car/truck/lawnmower/bus/train/etc having their own power plant.
I agree that he may be an elitist, but if I had tons of money to blow and shit, I would drive a helicopter to work too. what's wrong with people spending their own money? He is not a prick just because he has more than you or I.
and how exactly will it walk with just two wheels on the same axle? I think the parent is thinking of the wheel-chair with the same concept which had two axels.
Yeha, this thing was hyped to all hell and back. It seems I heard another rumor that Segway was not even IT, IT ws something else. Which further drives the hype machine. I think all this hype is gay. This thing is certianly NOT more important than the internet.
Don't think Sony is just sitting there with their thumbs up there asses saying "What do we do now?"... Sony is also a 500lb gorilla, and also has a ton of resources and is more divirsified than Microsoft is. Sony was there before Microsoft, and they will likely be there after MS's decline.
Rest assured that Sony will also compete in the console market, and likely win. They have the upper hand, and they are no slackers as far as advertising or console advocacy goes.
They actgually make an IE for HPUX and Solaris for free (I've never used the one on Solaris, but IE for HPUX sucks donkey balls.) Mozilla on either platform is MUCH better.
My point was that you don't HAVE to buy windows to have IE - you can get an outdated crappy version for free on a few other OSes!
You are correct, Sony is not a poor little guy - they do enough things to piss me off. However, does Sony have sole control over a single market in anything?
Microsoft's management just seems to know when to "Bet the farm" and when not o, and so far they have been right.
while you are of course correct, one may be ble to overclock the overclocked by using super duper cooling. the limit of overclocking is limited often by heat, so if you can get rid of more heat, you might be able to squeeze a bit more out of a given chip.
for practical purpouses you are right, though. there is absolutely no reason you would buy this chip if you wanted to overclock it.
To me, I would say that extreme programming is doing what I do: waiting till the last day to do you programming assignment. Sure, the code ends up sloppy, poorly designed, hard to follow and filled with debugging crap, but it's extreme. I am being an extreme programmer.

Wow, I hope if you have kids they aren't such pompous fucks like you, that would be sad.
You really are a loser. Go take a ride in your corvette.
interesting - i did not know that, but it makes sense once you think about it (the moisture has to go somewhere...).
If I am every really really bored I will try baking dessicants and let you guys know the results.
ahh.. i understand now. i think my geforce speeds it up a bit too. the compression must utilize the spare cycles in the nvidia GPU.
Actually, I have found that pr0n is so accessable nowadays, that I don't bother saving my video collections when I want to reformat everything.

Acutally, I have heard most people just blaim the drivers. anyone else is not rational.
Even on windows. My experience may vary, but I try not to blaim MS whenever possible.

But you forgot that cities will automatically redesign themselves around the segway!
That was probably the, if not one of, stupidest attempts at commedy I have ever seen.
First, the southpark episode is not #511, it was afirst or second season episode, #24 if I remember correctly.
Second, it wasn't called The Entity.
I just wonder how people like you get out of bed and actually live without killing yourself. Luckily, evolution will take care of you in the long run.

This is a FACT. it is you that are clueless.

I thought profit was step 3?
You are confusing the length of a radio frequency wave with the frequency with which somthing processes.
however, since it's a joke, I'll allow it.

that would help, thank you.
If so, do you think they would release the beta/code?
it is scheduled for open source release just after hell freezes over. don't ask stupid questions.
