I really should stop with the tongue-in-cheek posts.
How many adverts are there all desperately trying to point out that the Mac is faster in Photoshop than a PC?
That's what I was getting at.
No, mainly because cable terminates (physically) in the distribution boxes in your street, so the cable probably only travels a few hundred yards, whereas ADSL has to go end to end to the exchange, which could be up to 3.5km
Anything over that amount, and the actual amount is a bit fuzzy, is RADSL territory - Rate adaptive ADSL. Basically meaning you still get 512k downloads, but your upload suffers to compensate for the lost signalling.
I agree. Google should stay as is. They seem to be doing alright as they are, and the site is functional. I don't want to see Google turning into the next Yahoo-alike portal site bombarding you with ads and popups.
Stay as you are Google!!!
Its obviously transparent proxying and compression of data. If you download something like a long html document, you would probably see speed improvements - if you try downloading an MP3, you'll see no improvement at all. How do you compress what's allready compressed?
Nice Idea, but doesn't really do what it says on the tin.
This is pretty nasty stuff, particularly for Apple. Those graphs are showing something like 50% extra speed for using a PC, and a clock speed which is, oh look, 50% higher. And the Mac was running dual proccessors, which is even worse.
It almost makes you think Apple pissed Adobe off over something, and this is a poke in the eye in response.
Slightly more unreliable with NetStorage running. We run a Netware network wth eDirectory 8.6 and all associated bells and whistles. While I do think Netware is great, it still suffers from all the same Apache vulns, or at least it has seemed to.
I'm the other way around - I know more about IIS than Apache, but I do work with both. Apache running on a Linux box scares me slightly because I personally don't know 100% how to totally secure it. I just have never researched it properly. From the outset, IIS seems much more simple to secure.
On the other hand, a vulnerability in code is a serious issue, and it does worry me. In my case, I look after a public IIS server, hosting the pages for the Uni I work at - its a good target, so I want it secure.
So, ok, this is a bug. A serial vulnerability. It could lead to a server being crippled. Its all Microsoft's fault. Its crap software. Etc Etc.
Now, I'm no anti-any OS, I like them all, but what about the latest Sendmail vuln? Or even the one in older versions of BIND? Isn't it true to say that ALL OSes are equally as vulnerable? During the brief time I was on the Redhat Network, I got at least two or three updates a day telling me the sky was about to fall in if I didn't patch my server soon.
I treat all servers fairly, regardless of background, age or reliability:-)
Nah. Been done. I remember a site, cult of the llama or something they were called, i forget, anyway, they did it. I think it may have been a faked thing just for laughs.
So, he says the the drives get really hot, so he drills a load of holes for ventilation.
Then he goes and mounts them in the case with wood!! Why? Its an insulator!!! Ok, maybe he didn't have the necessary metal skills (or equipment even) to make a custom bracket, but using wood to mount a drive just seems a bit dangerous to me.
This never happened to me...is it a cultural thing

I'm wondering if its an 'accepted' part of American school culture that there are nerds and jocks, and the latter beat the crap out of the former.
And thats about it. It doesn't seem to happen here in the UK.
I class myself as a nerd; all the people I know class me as a nerd, but we all gelled. There were one or two people who would call me names, but for the most part, these sporty types have a certain respect for us geeks. They would often say 'how are you so clever' and stuff like that. Same goes for a lot of other very geeky people I know.
Yeah, so kids get bullied in British schools, but its not always the Jock/Nerd thing. I remeber many times we'd be doing sports lessons, and some of the really sporty types were quite supportive of my somewhat lacking athletic skills. They'd egg me on, just kind of help me along. Same goes for when I'd point stuff out on the computer for them.
Maybe the 'us and them' attitude just doesn't exist over here.
I don't think it shared drives. The main idea was to use retargetable graphics on the Amiga side to come up on the PC screen. It all worked really well supposedly.

Well, we can be sure of one thing, it'll be faster than PCs at rendering something in Photoshop.

So, this is going to do what Director already does then?
Well, yeah. That's what the flash viewer EXE is for, or the 'Save as EXE' function. What the fup is this going to do differently?

Yeah, Liquidation being whereby all your 'liquid' assets are sold off. Bankruptcy being the stage before all that.
I replied in the wrong place. I'm having a good day here :-(
I'm not trolling. Its a genuine question. Flamebait would be more appropriate ;-)
I thought Mandrake went bankrupt? What's happening to them now?

I can just see it. On arriving at a theatre, you're handed a license, and told that the beer isn't free. :-)
Well, I suppose the plays are GPL now...
I resent that. Winamp was on random. So :-p
When you watch it, make sure you have the song 'You are the sunshine of my life' by Stevie Wonder playing. It fits so well :-)

Well, that's where I heard it anyway.
Still, its a good idea.
Why not go all the way and lock it in a cupboard, solves all the problems then!
