    Very true, but remember the important rule of thumb.. If it is default, 99% of users will not go the extra mile of finding a better alternative.

    If it works... dont fix it! This is why MS needs to be put in check.

    I have tried Freenet numerous times over the years, but every time it has proven to be dog slow. If they have implemented said alorithms, why is the performance still so bad?

    > It costs a lot of money to backport security/bug fixes to old releases for years on end. RedHat can't afford to be doing that for products that people download for free. Wrong. You dont get that for free, you pay for RHN and support contracts. They could have simply done away with the free side of RHN, that would have solved the problem.

    Among the targeted include the Iraqi police force, Red Cross aid workers, civilians, and international delegation workers. (more than the above mentioned 5%)

    again, you are erroneous... first, the attackers are primarily Syrian, Jordanian, and Iranian. Secondly, during war, the attackers nomatter where the origin are known as combatants. Thirdly, the attacks are terroristic in nature, by distinctly targeting civilian groups in many instances.

    Does the school also dissalow downloading massive ammounts of data? Also, P2P leeching is just inbound data transfer just like HTTP. WTF is the difference?


    How do you define P2P? If you are uploading to a peer? Or if you are downloading froma peer? What is a peer? A machine that runs a non HTTP service?

  12. Re:vs. Pentium 4 AGAIN???? on First Round of AMD Athlon 64 Reviews In · · Score: 1
    The Athlon 64 is in direct competition with the Pentium 4. It is not being marketed as a server/workstation chip ala Opteron. This is why the benchmarks involve the P4EE and A64. They are the primary competition for tommorow's desktop market.

    Dont confuse the Athlon64 to be just another server chip, this big boy is aimed at the home user!

    This looks like the same logic as: "We haven't found any WMD's in Iraq. This proves that they are hiding them".

    Hmmm, it is good logic when you consider that WMD did infact exist and were documented by not only the UN SC but other international human rights groups. Check here for an unbiased documentation of Iraq's former WMD program.

    The reason the interference is not important: The Radio Navigation systems that are impacted by the intereference are no longer used to navigate and control the plane via autopilot. Although not entirely trusted by the FAA, the GPS is the guiding navigation system in most planes. GPS has no tranciever, and therefore is not affected by radio intereference

    Thank you for insulting me and most of my friends. I live in the midwest where the culture is very different from the East Coast/European elitist culture. As expected, i have been reffered to as an underclass citizen because of where I live.

    Fox tells the story without a liberal slant. I guess to liberals, that would be considered a conservative slant becasue liberalism to you is down the middle. Please be aware that not everyone sees things the way you do.

    Maybe you could explain to me how a court finding an excessive ammount of recounting unconstittional as evidence that democracy is breaking down. That court did exactly as it was supposed to, it protected the consitutional right to election results after an alloted amount of recounts.
