Back in the wired ethernet day, having lots of MAC addresses made sense - no duplicates for network admin to worry about, automatic selection of drivers at boot based on manufacturer MAC range, etc.
The WiFi world is different. More than a dozen APs in view cause collisions. Most APs can't really cope with more than a few active clients. In the non-business environment we could cope with a thousand dynamically selected MAC addresses.
With APs varying their names, MACs, and DHCP parameters frequently; with clients sniffing for an unused MAC before trying to connect, we could create an ephemeral WiFi environment, with a bit of anonymity and a lot of deniabilty.
Perhaps it would be prudent first to replace any correct information with blatant lies, then 'delete' the false data. Does anyone know if this is an improvement.
Probably the safest policy, if you must use FB at all, is to lie constantly, consistently and thoroughly. You should already know the people/groups you are trying to contact. -- Sometimes I stare into space and it doesn't recognize me. - P S Mueller
I noticed the same on my mac. With a set of eight CPU graph meters in the menu bar, they're almost always evenly pitched anywhere from idle to 100%, with a few notable exceptions like second life, some photoshop filters, and firefox of all things.
When booted into Win, more often than not I have two cores pegged high, and the others idle. Getting even use out of all cores is the exception, not the rule.
Have you perhaps encountered a Windows license limit? Most Windows licenses have a two cpu limit.
I have a household with a half dozen desktop/servers and a half dozen laptops. Eight run XP and the other four still run Win2K. They do what I want and need. The hardware is not dying. You seem to think it would be a good idea for me to blow $2K on MS Win7 licenses to get graphics features that my hardware does not support and that I do not require.
I reckon I have four years to move to FOSS or wait for another business refresh to dump some Win7 boxes on the used market for cheap.

Tim should get out more, maybe visit a job centre. Many of the people applying for the benefits available are unable to fill in the paper forms, and need the help of experienced form interpreters, some of whom can actually spell some words.
The forms themselves are unintelligible because they must follow tortuously constructed regulations based on incomprehensible legislation.

One would expect the data behind any worthwhile gray literature to be incorporated in peer-reviewed literature. Perhaps it remains gray is because the data isn't worthwhile.

Quick! Somebody create a linux distro named "Hurt Locker", and we can all seed its torrent forever.
So I googled cougarlife.com and got this in the sponsored ad column on the right:

There was even a hack IBM came up with to let you have EAs on FAT volumes, but that was a little less nice.

So you lose an arm, then it grows back, but it takes 20 years.
And that's 20 years of p21 suppression with enhanced cancer risk.

so in other words you can't time travel and live forever, it would just seem like forever to everyone not time traveling?
It appears you are approaching an event horizon. Would you like some help? Byeeeee!
