Quality recording equipment doesn't make a performance any better,
Actually, yes it can - especially in woodwind or brass instruments. There's a lot of subtle high-frequency stuff going that won't get picked up in a low-fi environment, and that's where much of the skill in playing a complex wind instrument resides. You often don't hear little mistakes the musician is making until you hear a high-quality version of a previously low-quality mp3, for example.
Just make a note of your virtual memory use every hour or so (or just whenever you remember) for a few days/weeks. Then just give yourself maybe 2-3 times the peak usage.
I imagine different people will need different amounts of swap space, so use a size that's right for you.
When Microsoft releases a memory-intensive browser, it's a "poorly written" and "inefficient". But when Google does the same, it's "a new, very demanding era in Web-centric computing"??
How I hope they make this available to consumers. It opens a very intriguing possibility - making your own linux cellphone.
Think about it - completely customisable UI, thousands of possible plastic cases (I imagine many 3rd party case manufacturers will spring up), second-to-none music and video support, and the ability to use or port millions of existing linux apps.
Maybe in a couple of years time you'll be able to buy a bunch of cellphone parts at radio shack, and assemble them into a custom phone as is currently possible with PCs.
He shouldn't even have to do community service or apologise. He has the right to say whatever the fuck he wants, and if anyone's offended that's their problem.
Thankfully, technologies like tor render any ISP's logging capabilities, even if they were to log every single packet, completely useless. You can even run some p2p apps through it.
(Before I used it, I assumed it would be too slow to use. Boy was I wrong - I hardly even notice the difference in web browsing).
I work for a large oil company, and our worldwide (probably hundreds of thousands of PCs) rollout of SP2 killed Exceed, Samba, and a couple of inhouse apps. Turns out the NT guys hadn't even considered it. As a UNIX admin, I had to work quite a few long nights to repair the damage.
I'm going to linux now. I've been toying with the idea for ages, and I'm an experienced linux admin, I just liked windows better as a desktop OS till now ("stick with what you know").
But distros like RedHat and co provide a desktop experience equal or greater than that of windows. I don't play games, and I already use open source apps for nearly everything else (firefox, thunderbird, openoffice.org, etc etc).
The hassle of reinstalling windows now exceeds that of getting used to a new operating system, so I'm moving. I don't grudge Microsoft the money for XP, but I refuse to be required to get permission to install my ORIGINAL copy of Windows XP on my own computer.
Sorry Microsoft, you just lost yourself another customer.
Remember those old toshiba notebooks that were about the size of a VHS tape? They made them in late 486/early pentium flavours.
Something like that, running a minimal linux or win95, with some kind of freeware/open source text-to-speech program (there's lots about). You could probably pick one up on ebay very cheaply, and of course linux would be free. It might be interesting finding a valid win95 license though...

I dunno about the rest of you guys, but I've been able to watch youtube on my wii for at least a year.
You just can't make this stuff up.

Bollocks.
... When the fucking TORIES are the voice of reason?!?
... The patry's over. (I'm sorry)
DUH!
"Come to bed babe..." "Just one more game of minesweeper" Or maybe I'm just really crap in bed.
... the US Open?

You can use a browser to hack poorely written web apps (some forum software springs to mind). Doesn't this effectively make all browsers illegal?

Since when is loss of money, however big, an acceptable reason to kill someone?
Might I suggest we might be a little too ruled by corporations?

A distinct lack of discussion here. This could even be the first post.
Well, except maybe the porn industry.
I think that's more a personal choice than anything else...

Right = Left
Far right = Moderate
That has to be the most stupid, illogical and reactionary Slashdot article in a long time.

This was the first article I saw when I woke up this morning, and for a minute I thought I'd woken up in Brave New World...
...put it in an unmarked box, leave it out on your front door, and post your address? It'll be gone in a matter of hours.
