Is this part of Obama's promise to open source the government by letting us read bills before they are voted on? Will congress actually get a chance to read them here?
What about a program doing a CPU intensive task that isn't multi thread aware? Woul these see any advantage from a multi-core CPU? One reason I ask is because usually the multi core CPU's run at a lower clock speed than the fastest single core CPU's.
I agree that an external hard drive is the best solution, but the Retrospect express software that comes with these Maxtor OneTouch drives is terrible. Even after the update on Maxtor's website. It slows many systems down to a crawl.
Not exactly VoIP, but it works over landline or GSM network, and it's actual phone to phone encryption, not just phone to tower. They have several devices/software available, and full source code.
I've never had a problem with Blizzard's Torrent downloader. It takes a few minutes for the downloading to actually start, but after that. it's fast enough.
A lot of programs (even some that come with Windows), are not multi-user aware. The sad reality is, it's just not practical with Windows (without a lot of post install admin setup).
Try this.
Create a limited account with Windows 2000, or even XP. Log into this limited account, and open up the calculator program that comes with Windows. If it's on standard, change it to scientific, or vice versa. Close the program and reopen it. Voila! Your setting was not changed. This is because calc.exe uses HKLM to store it's settings, when it should be a per user setting. This is just a small example.
Now, you (as the administrator), could setup permissions in the registry to allow others to change the setting. But anyone who changes their calc will do it for ALL users. Now imagine having to set up these sorts of permissions for other programs you may have installed. This is a LOT of potential administration that may need to be done.
This is even less practical on Home editions of XP, because, by default, it severely limits what permissions you can set.
"It only sounds like a stupid question. However many laptop power supplies are designed with the assumption that there will be this big battery installed acting as a capacitor. So the power supply just sends in dirty power, letting the battery smooth out all the noise into a nice steady DC current."
Laptops don't work this way. Cars use this method to smooth out power coming from the alternator, but all modern laptops work just fine with no battery.

If I do, it will be for the streaming only service. If there is something only offered by them on DVD, then I'll just download the bitch elsewhere.

That's deep.

Since when did The Who become an authority on this? Aren't they busy touring?
In that post, they did say they are moving it to the preferences part. People cried, they responded. Sounds like a good move to me.
And maybe 95
Certain dialup services were once over 100 bucks a month.
Cable Internet was in the $100 range when it was first available too, and you got less than 1Mb down.
MultiEdit, http://www.multiedit.com/ will interface with CVS and other systems.
Where is Visio ?

Looks like microsoft changed their mind after all the feedback:

Eh, everything was better "Back in the Day".
This has been possible with every version of windows since 98, and probably even previous versions.

I can see ATI submitting fake crash reports for Nvidia drivers, or even employing techniques to induce real crashes.
Google Toolbar has been pre-installed on these machines for over a year.
Anybody care to explain?

If they don't have your SSN, it's very unlikely you will find it on your credit report.

There are a lot of Cards that do this now. You can get a 3com 3c905c, which does at least partial offloading, for about 20 bucks.
Hey, it's one method.
