  1. No thanx : ) on Reiser4 Filesystem Released · · Score: 1

    Why would you want to? Dont be fooled. Of course they are going to blow their own trumpet
    We must caution that just as Linux 2.6 is not yet as stable as Linux 2.4, it will also be some substantial time before V4 is as stable as V3.
    My machine is built for stability. I use only what I think/hope of as stable hardware components on Slackware 10 - the most stable OS using kernel 2.4.26 - arguably one of the most stable kernels. And I use the excellent, reliable ext2 fs.

  2. Re:It makes me wonder.... on Virus Writers Look Ahead: Target 64-bit Windows · · Score: 1

    Yes, I use an Athlon64 currently running a standard 32bit OS. The article is trying to say in a round about way that virus writers want to get in on the 64 bit game. Yes, I do think the backwards compatible proc's like mine and the Opteron and Intels new proc are going to be more susceptible by 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000001% more than a normal x86 processor. Big swing...
    Nothing to see here. Besides I won't be running XP 64 bit edition ever anyweay, so I dont care. Im not even going to use my extra 32 bits until Slackware bring out a 64 bit OS of there own, and I hope they are in no hurry, and do it the Slackware way - properly.

    Lol,
    I have just got a brand new box together. Im running Slackware 10 on an Athlon64 with 512mb of RAM, and nV FX 5700 VTD 256 gpu. There will be games played on this machine but not on Windows. Slack is my only OS. Next thing I need to do is put Cedega 4 on. There has been recent controversy over Cedega too but not to this degree, and it doesn't really bother me. I will never go back to windows gaming!!

  20. Also, Proximity to the medium you race in!!! on Olympic Medal Prediction Model · · Score: 1, Funny

    Yes, true but its also about inclination towards certain sports. For example, the vast majority of Aussies live near the sea and so are inclined towards water sports, particularly swimmimg. Thats why they own every one (per population) in the pool!!

  22. Australians are the best right now on Olympic Medal Prediction Model · · Score: 1

    ..if thats the case.
    They're GDP is not much different to US. But they have far less people - only about 30million compared to over 250 in the US. They are particularly good a churning out great swimmers.

    I think part of the reason is, they invest allot in sports psychology, and given that 90% of Aussies live on or very near the sea, water is in their blood. They just like to swim!!!
