  1. Re:The reality... on Windows 7 To Come In Multiple Versions · · Score: 2, Informative

    Server versions usually come without X and have a different kernel optimized for server use. This is a good thing. Of cause you can change it after installation but that's not the point.

  4. NTP and Leap on Leap Second To Be Added Dec 31, 2008 · · Score: 1

    I get the new second in 2009 since I live in UTC +1

    leap-second

    Summary: NTP and GPS know about leap seconds, operating system might not.

    From TA:
    "Linux kernels and most other Unix-like systems care about the leap seconds and handle them correctly. Some systems even add a notification to the system log when the leap second is inserted."

    "The Windows system clock does not know about leap seconds, either. However, there is a precompiled version of ntpd for Windows available which is capable of slewing the Windows system time quickly in order to account for the insertion of a leap second, without affecting the clock synchronization loop provided by ntpd."

  14. Re:No thanks, Valve. on Valve Has No Plans to Charge For Downloadables · · Score: 1

    Its not the right to cheat. Its the right to use it the way you want. Have people already forgotten all the banned steam accounts because of the no-cd "patch", making every game they had ever bought from steam unusable. I hate to always have to put in a cd just to let the program read it once and then read all other content from a hard drive. There is no reason why it should do so. I have already typed in my cd-key, waited 2 hours for steam to decrypt all the content. And the people who bought the game from steam didn't have to go through this. Was it just to get more people to buy online?

  23. Re:disbelief on Chronicles of Narnia Trailer · · Score: 1
    I have read it several places, also recent documentarys about Tolkien. After a bit googling: http://www.cslewis.org/

    1911 "It was during this time that he abandoned his childhood Christian faith."

    but when I read on, I found something else:

    1931 Lewis became a Christian: One evening in September, Lewis had a long talk on Christianity with J.R.R. Tolkien (a devout Roman Catholic) and Hugo Dyson. (The summary of that discussion is recounted for Arthur Greeves in They Stand Together.) That evening's discussion was important in bringing about the following day's event that Lewis recorded in Surprised by Joy: "When we [Warnie and Jack] set out [by motorcycle to the Whipsnade Zoo] I did not believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and when we reached the zoo I did."

    So it seems that Professor Tolkien actually turned him around again :P
  24. Re:Christian propaganda...? on Chronicles of Narnia Trailer · · Score: 1

    Not to spoil the fun, but CS Lewis was a atheis. He was born into a strong christian family, but abandoned his faith early in his life. That was one of reason why it was so werd that such a strong Catholic (Tolkien) became such good friend with Lewis.
