  1. Re:solving the problem, slashdot style on Is Firefox 1.0 Less Stable than Firefox PR1.0? · · Score: 1

    I don't believe that's the case with freenet, AROS and if you look at most of the projects on sourceforge (Don't look only at the most popular, look at how many projects there are, and check how many of them are suitably developed).

    IE renders HTML v1.x to 3.x of the w3c HTML specification and reccomendations (not a standard) just fine.

  3. Simple program? on MPAA Sues Movie-Swappers · · Score: 1

    "The MPAA said it would also make available a computer program that sniffs out movie and music files on a user's computer as well as any installed file sharing programs. The MPAA said the information detected by the free program would not be shared with it or any other body, but could be used to remove any 'infringing movies or music files' and remove file sharing programs."

    So basically from what I understand, it's the equilivant to a windows file search on all drives that has a any of the following words: Kazaa.exe klite.exe emule.exe ...etc... *.mp3 *.mpeg *.avi etc...

    Not impressive.

    By the way, please do not put words in my mouth, I didn't say "an article that I can't find", I said "I'm sorry, I don't have the link to that particular article".

    I suppose if I searched google, I *could* probably find it. Hence what your quote is trying to say is also *possibly* invalid.

    Rewriting quotes that people make is a missrepresentation. Please don't do it again.

    It's understandable when people missrepresent quotes to make a joke of it, but, this is no joke.

    Heat can obviously determine part of the life of the proccessor, hence good cooling can help in that area.

    Not exactly what I call a good fix.

    Well, a number of bad things can happen to a computer, especially one that's running, such as the fan may stall etc.. Take a look at what happened to the old AMD proccessors when the fan stalled. Now they have thermal protection and the CPU just cuts off... However there was a 10% chance 1/10 chance that the CPU would just burn before the thermal protection kicked in (I'm sorry, I don't have the link to that particular article).

  13. Re:The real reason it's not a threat on Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE · · Score: 1

    RPMs are packages, "Redhat Package management" You can't compare that to "service packs" because "service packs" are litterally just updates.. RPMs are just a archive format that keeps precompiled applications for installation. Plus, if I recall, RPMs don't do upgrades... most often I see them requiring you to uninstall the old app, to install the new version.

    I just tend to buy intel proccessors as they seem to have a longer life compared to AMDs. (And before you shoutout that intel's procs are hotter, stop using those prebuilt crap computers, they always have inefficient cooling.)

    I spent hours removing the active x objects, IE files etc.. in windows xp... other than a "E" icon that doesn't do anything.. The amazing thing is that the Quick Launch still works without IE, (However for some reason I can't load JPG backgrounds now).

    One of the things I completely hated about Windows XP's search system, was the daft animted Search ASSistant... Thank goodness I found you could turn it off.. and infact, there is a nice registry setting that lets you change the search window back into win2k style (alot more nicer, as it uses the space it's got more efficiently).

    I hope they don't start sticking stupid stuff like that in it.
