It's only broken when you're used to something else. Copying the quoted text above for example was done entirely by mouse. Selecting with the left mouse button, scrolling down with the wheely-thing on the mouse (or use scrollbar), pasting with the middle mouse button.
But, I agree with you that in some cases 'select, copy, paste/replace' works better than 'select, paste'. Therefore I'm glad to tell you that the programmers are on it. In the next version of Qt there will be two seperate clipboards, one for the fast 'select, paste' behaviour, and one for the 'select, copy, paste/replace' behaviour. So the problem was already spotted, and is being solved as we speak;-)

"This process obviously increases FSB and memory bandwidth usage and it does tend to show more of a performance improvement on higher clocked/higher bandwidth FSB/memory platforms. This does translate into DDR SDRAM being much more useful for the Athlon 4 than it was on the Athlon (Thunderbird)."

Yep, after playing quakeworld competitively for a long time, all the other 3d games seemed terribly slow.
I think, the original poster was referring to the Q1 single player game. I have to agree with him on that. Two month ago I played Q1 single player for the first time (I used to play several multiplayer mods), I finished the game in one try, without even coming close to dying.
Well it doesn't matter wether you are Canadian of an American when you visit Europe. What matter is if you behave like a clueless shitass American or not.
Maybe that Canadian flag reminded you to stay polite, instead of echoing a aura of superiority.
I'm from the Netherlands, and somehow Germans are not the most favourite foreigners. But when a German car pull over to ask for directions, they usually ask if any of us speak English/German. Americans usualy just ask for directions, and if they are not understood immediatly they just drive off and call you a moron. Attitude, politeness and Adaptability can get you a long way, even when you're from the states.

Your system uses ReiserFS, which greatly speeds up the access to small files. During a kernel compile a *lot* of small files are accessed.
For CAD$50 they have to provide broadband, but broadband can be *many* things. The first broadband cable connection I had was 300kbit/64kbit, while a friend of mine abroad had a 10Mbit/1.5Mbit (about 25 times faster).

A seperate domain for pron and other adult related stuff can be very usefull.
If all the porn sites would reside on a.xxx, domain filtering would be very easy.
If you require every porn site to be.xxx, you could punish every non.xxx porn site easily for having xxx stuff on their site.
You could have different search engines for normal internet stuff, and adult internet stuff.
It's all about clear diffentiation (sp). If all porn sites have to reside on a.xxx domain, you could easily require all non porn search engines to NOT to link to.xxx domains.
I'm a bit drunk, so I rest my case here, but I feel very strongly about this. A seperation between the internet and the pornnet can be made, and the only way it can be made is giving the porn-side of the internet their own TLD.
Since version 3.70 (or so) LAME is entirely free. Besides, since about the same version LAME is BETTER than frauenhoffer and all the other encoders. Encode all you music at 128 vbs (variable bit stream), and you'll have the most perfect mp3's you can get.
While I was reading the comments, I had this idea. Why doesn't Redhat post their new version to a certain newsgroup. Early downloaders can storm their LOCAL newsservers. Once the ISP is informed, they can simply put the.iso in a ftp directory.

Windows updates are only usefull when you're running windows. And when you're running windows, you've payed for it. Payed for windows AND the windows updating service.
- I've 1 GHz Athlon work very well without a peltier unit. No informed reports have reached me stating otherwise.

Other would simply say that he has an opinion, just as you have an opinion about it.
Besides the points he's trying to make are very defendable.
Arguing otherwise would be like saying, assembly language is better than c, because it tend to produce faster code.
