I think windows loads slow because of all the damn spyware and un-necessary default drivers and services and IE preloading...etc...
IMHO Default windows config is kinda like a Redhat with everything and then some.
Start in safe mode and watch all the crap that tries to load - a ton of it is not needed.
If you tighten your install by removing a lot of the extra services, spyware, and a few performance tweaks - you'll see a major speed increase over all.
I use XP, but I don't like it much anymore...It's stable, but I'm really looking forward to a better desktop for Fedora and the new Core 2 release.
This should be done for all types of software...Perhaps developers will be a little more careful with their codeing and end users will be able to see just how secure the software is before they commit to it.
It also suggests a new strategy for rigging the vote: pass out pens of a certain type in districts unfavorable to your candidate, then calibrate the machine not to read that type of ink.
Yeah? Like pens that say vote for "John Tuteur"?
and change into a naked chick when you turn em the other way?
Prison Sentance for the guy!? Come on now...the 1 Million he made was MADE FROM CHILDREN!? WTF? You mean to tell me kids are using their parents credit cards?/sarcasm. Obviously kids arn't the target audience - unless, that is, these sites are accepting Pokiemon cards as payment.
I'd say prison is a bit harsh here, IMHO. There ARE restrictions to what you can show from a default page on a site...Anyone know what he ACTUALLY served up? Or is this just sensational hype?
Parents MUST take some responsibility for that which THEY are responsible for. aka, Kids. If your kid breaks someones window, who has to pay for it?? If a kid surfs porn, who's responsibility is it? The kids? The sites? The host? The ISP? The PC manufacturer? Who let's a kid surf the web without restrictions or at least a good explination about what's there?
Do people go to prison for selling a Playboy to an under age person? Isn't that selling porn to minors?
If you chill out, you will eventually arrive - alive even.
{begin rant}It's usually not a race anyway...Unless, of course, you're the dickhead that illegally cut into the carpool lane Thursday night at 7:30pm on the 405 fwy North(with no passengers in the car) across the double yellow line forcing me to slam on my brakes to avoid an accident...Only to watch you exit the car pool lane, the same way you got in, at Sunset Blvd in LA at 7:42pm. 4ZHX340 in the 320E, you should lose your license for your moronic driving behavior. {end rant}
While I like the tech advances and think that any improvement is a good improvement, I think the bigger problem is dumb people...How about a car mounted camera system that allows you to tape and submit illegal driving maneuvers ala the traffic cameras they have now? Perhaps accountability would make people drive better?
If MikeRoweSoft had to give it up for MicroSoft...cause they sound the same...then Booble should give it up for Google...they sound the same too, course my harelip may be tainting my opinion.
A group of SCO radicals wearing official looking SCO jackets, resembling FBI agents, flashed their badges at the NOC and were seen carting off the Slashdot servers. When asked what they were doing, they replied there are pirate versions of Linux running on these machines and since Slashdot hasn't paid SCO it's licensing dues, and now "All you servers belongs to us."
Shouldn't we be putting more effort into taking care of things that will cause global extinction?
We've had how many near earth collisions with rather large unfriendly rocks? I can say with certainty that if one of those guys decided to pay us a visit, we'd be in a hell of a lot more trouble than loosing a few species of animals.
And on top of all that, we've got RIAA to deal with...:)
It's great to study our planet and do wonderful things with it, but let's not neglect the obvious for the warm and fuzzy.
I'm still waiting...For the Hormel company to file for patent infringement for the use of the word Spam...They've been making spam since 1937, long before the internet was around
Whether or not we use them, it's all about advancment. From a research perspective the technology that may spinoff could be applied to many other things...ie. New Halflife 2 mods...

Dihydrogen-monoxide is also a byproduct of an operating fuel cell, is it not?
There is no environment on Earth too extreme for life, as long as there is liquid water.
Nothing will grow in my apartment and it is on earth...

Yeah, and further...If Western Digital HAD a 510GB drive, you can bet your ass they'd market it and not keep it crippled!
That'd be the biggest single consumer drive on the market.
You don't talk about SCO.
I am Linus's complete lack of surprise.
LOL! Wasn't that site offline for a while!?
/sarcasm. Obviously kids arn't the target audience - unless, that is, these sites are accepting Pokiemon cards as payment.
W00t!

I wonder if I could make a nice firewall with one of these for my home network.
A solar powered Firewall...I like it! That's new! Patent anyone?

Then again, did you say a porn search engine!??!
Can't he just be granted a dual citizenship while she's at it?
I don't know...did they buy on-site service with that??
The pentavarit:
3rd reason...Because it has "Made in Mars" stamped on the bottom.
My post from a week ago...I was joking! These bozos are serious!
Only goes to prove the point that SCO can't get anything right...:)
Thank you SCO! Thank you RIAA!
Both domain names ARE available...so someone ought to get to writting that book, before the wicked Canadians get to it.
The bastards took my site...said it was too close to some corporate name thing...whatever...

What she's really saying is that she's into pr0n and downloading music.
