Setting the clock date to get by actually buying the product is similar to getting goods at a big store (with no restocking fee) and returning them right before the return expiration date.
An example of this is buying batteries, using them till they die and then returning them "cause they're bad".
Either way, both is ethically wrong to do and perhaps illegal. It's just "not right".

>>>"T-Minus 10 second and counting til someone starts bashing Gentoo and recommending Debian."
Wrong. Debian is made to be a easy-to-maintain stable linux distribution. Because of being made for servers, it also uses tried and tested (read: outdated) packages optimised for the whopping 386.
Gentoo is for die-hard users who demand everything current and fully optimised for their system. Because it's their system, they can sacrifice some stability.
Sinply it's a trade-off for "stable, unoptimised, and oldness" OR "instability, very optimised, and new".
And I boldly say, if you want to fully use a Opteron, use Gentoo.

Hey, it's Kerberos. That big nasty dog.
Say it right next time or I'll sic him on ya..
And how many programs are WinTHIS or WinThat ?
Winzip, Winrar -- compression programs
Winamp ----music player/decompresser
Winnuke -- exploit to take down unpatched win95 and win98nonSE boxes.
pssst.. is that your account info? lemmee insert it here and send a copy for "backup". yeah thats it. backup.

I'd rather have a bulk of HD's at 7200RPM than at higher speeds. More RPM equates to more heat and easier failure.

Bad analogy.

.5 speed unless you need it.

And those NOP's cost almost nothing either. NOP'ing will actually cool down the cpu a bit.

That Winbox with mozilla was Phoenix/firebird. T'was me ;-) I went down to windows to play some Hitman 2 and Total Annihilation
Nope, that's the effect of 2 differnt HD 'principles.
1: Windows shows binary file sizes(300*2^30), while the box is 300*10^9 bytes. It looks like less.
2: It's the cost of storing files on a file system. That and Windows Vfat and NTFS are bad about storing files with large allocation tables.
Try reading the disk from Linux FDISK next time. That'll tell you the exact size of the disk.
Raid 1 is the BEST for 2 drives, however you want the 2 drives either from different batches OR different manufacturers.
If there's problems, you dont want them both to die at he same time, right?
Oh, I know what you mean. Moz is a little too 'apt' to kill popup windows.
;-| Kinda didnt work.
On some sites, bave to turn it off to actualy use the site. They found a way to use popups as a good way to navigate.
And of course, I was _trying_ to be a 1+funny whore
This wouldnt have happened to you IF you would have used Mozilla or likewise with POPUP KILLING. Let's see that one more time, with Mozilla...
