  4. What's the rate of increase? on New Numbers on Linux Market Share Soon · · Score: 0

    I haven't RTFGR (Gartner report) but does anyone know the rate of increase of Linux machines compared to, let's say, 1/2/5 years ago?

  5. Some quotes... on Democratic Convention Computer Security Threat? · · Score: 0

    He could then leapfrog onto the Democrats' network, allowing him to steal information or vandalize computers. unless proper precautions are taken, computer vandals will be able to tap into these laptops by using wireless transmitters located outside of the FleetCenter. The attackers could then use the compromised laptops to gain access to the computer network used to run the convention. Call me stupid, but the essence of this article is: "It is possible to get access by WAN to laptops that access the LAN. Thus an intruder can attackk the server that run the convention by magic tools that immediately destroy the servers.", no?

    Why not use a bigger, (dare I say it) better distro. SuSe 9.1 is Europe's biggest distro

  14. Ridiculous... on Xbox Next to Include PC/Console Hybrid Option? · · Score: 1
    Would you be willing to pay $600 for a console with all of the capabilities of a standard OEM PC?

    The XBox Next doesn't come with a monitor or screen.

    If you want a living room media unit, you can get a Mini-ITX from VIA or (soon) from AMD. Put the other 400$ towards a nice projector/screen/whatever, et voila: home cinema.

    Or spend 600$ on an average Gaming-PC with a 17"-19" screen.

    Or spend 600$ on club visits and booze to finally get laid once your lifetime.

    Believe me, the handicapped have good senses of humour.

    I support that opinion. Just this Monday a disabled girl (in wheelchair, some sort of lack-of-coordination-sense disease) made the following joke:

    "If I were drunk and driving my wheelchair down the road would I be convicted of drunk driving?"

    The whole class was in laughter. :-)

    I suppose it's hard to make jokes about their appearence because of other people who pity the disabled ones. :-(

  25. Re:*sigh* on Making Science and Math Kid Friendly? · · Score: 1
    The OP said:
    not being able to multiply 50 * 50
    Actually, there is quite a good method to square an integer that is close to fifty:
    Let say: 48^2
    You square 50 - that's 2500 - and substract 100 times the difference of your number from 50 (in this case it's 2), so you have 2300. If you want the correction, square the difference and add it on.. That makes 2304.
