    can you REALLY tell the difference between 256khz and 512khz (hint: if you say 'yes', you are lying).

  2. Re:Leader of the pack, not on No EFI Support for Vista · · Score: 1

    That was the only way I could upgrade the BIOS on my Dell laptop.

    You could also update it from linux, there is a bios update for dell systems included in the kernel:

    config DELL_RBU
                    tristate "BIOS update support for DELL systems via sysfs"
                    depends on X86
                    select FW_LOADER
                    help
                      Say m if you want to have the option of updating the BIOS for your
                      DELL system. Note you need a Dell OpenManage or Dell Update package (DUP)
                      supporting application to comunicate with the BIOS regarding the new
                      image for the image update to take effect.
                      See for more details on the driver.

  4. Le Factoriel on Your Favorite Math/Logic Riddles? · · Score: 1

    2 of my mathematicians friends have started a web site about enigma. But it only in french. http://www.lefactoriel.com/

    You have 47 identical balls and one with a different weight. You also have a triangular balance with 3 plates.

    One plate is heavier: The balance leans towards the heaviest
                                                                          plate.
    One playe is ligher: The balance raise the lightest one.
    The 3 plates have the same weight: The balance stay flat.

    How can you find out which ball is different and if it's heavier or lighter in 3 weighings ?

  5. We're open to other suggestions, though. on Palm OS To Run On Linux · · Score: 1

    To the question "Does that mean you'll be offering your layer for sale to users?" You answered you are open to suggestions. As a developper I think It would be nice to have the palm layer available for free so we can try/code application for it on a computer. Perhaps you could release the free layer on x86 and sell it for handheld manifacturer.
