(why would you go into hibernate in the middle of using memory intensive app?) Why not? In fact, I'd say the times you want to go in to hibernate when in the middle of using a memory intensive application are probably exactly the times when you want it to be as quick as possible.
We've used Replicon for a few years now. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it's not really the best either. The biggest problem I have with it is the requirement to add the tasks your working on to the sheet before you can put time against them. The interface for doing that is too slow and annoying.
I find it amusing that you can put a dusty old woman in a jangling dress with a crystal ball, a little golden pyramid, and a chart of constellations on the wall, and people will give up their money to "have their fortune told," but offer to do it for real and they step back. How do you know they're the same people?
Open Office isn't super great though because neither of us could figure out how to do Chapters (like you have on a book at the top of the page to show which one your on) in either Word or Office. Theres some kind of Hack to do it in Open Office but again, no time. Page styles will do the trick - and not via a hack. I was able to do a basic book layout (with different headers and footers on facing pages, containing chapter names on one side, plus special pages with no headers, and the correct margins after printing and folding) using page styles without too much in the way of pain - just a bit of hunting through the help.
What if you took $100/month and invested it in your retirement or even just a normal stock portfolio? THAT is how the smart build wealth. Then after some unspecified amount of time, you'd have a whole lot of money, and a whole lot less life in which to do anything with it.
For some people, accumulating wealth isn't their reason for existence.
you mean payscale - salary.com is the one requiring a US zip code.
And I agree, the free report from payscale told me pretty much exactly what I needed to know. Some of the questions were a bit US centric, but the profile based approach means that doesn't matter. I discovered I'm getting quite a bit above average (but still well within the range) for Canberra, and pretty much right on average for Sydney, which makes sense, as my employer is Sydney based. It pretty much confirmed my own evaluation of my situation.
Also, not only is the free service from payscale useful, it's entirely cookie based - no need to ever give an email address or create an account.
Actually, the proposed legislation in Australia was a gradual increase in the minimum energy efficiency standards. Something that fits right in with this development, so not a waste at all.
I think the main point here, is that the ad was already technically breaching a (not necessarily good) law. In recent years it has become illegal to have ads for cars that show illegal driving practices. So it probably would have only taken a few complaints to have it removed.
...and enforcement misguided rules which where invented after the fact by someone who spent so much time studying classical languages that they knew nothing about English.
Being able to choose freely to not say something is freedom of speech. The right to stay silent on something is just as important a freedom as the right to have your say.
45nm is not inherently "better" than 65nm any more than 3Ghz is inherently "better" than 1Ghz. A smaller process size is a means to an end, it's not an end in itself.
The end is the delicate balance of improving power / watt while increasing overall performance and keeping the price down. If AMD can deliver a chip that does a better job of that at 65nm than an Intel 45nm one, then the AMD chip is not somehow "worse" than the Intel one just because it doesn't use 45nm. That's just stupid.
I'm not saying AMD can do that, but I think that criticizing them for not being ready for 45nm yet is more than premature. AMD's actually guilty of the same flawed logic though - their criticism of Intel's 4 core processor being just 2 dual cores stuck together is just as pointless. It doesn't matter what matters is how well the processor meets the requirements of its target market.
I don't care if it's 65nm, 45nm or 10mm - that's a completely irrelevant (to me as a user and purchaser) implementation detail. I care about the results - how fast is it for my workloads? How much is it? How much power does it use?
Obsession about process size is sillier than obsession over clock speeds.
If AMD can produce a better performing chip at 65nm, then who the hell cares if Intel - or anyone else - move to a 45nm process?
As much as I like that particular comic, it does nothing to explain "its"
In any case, pinging people for "it's" instead of "its" is a little unfair - it does appear to be completely backwards unless you understand where it comes from.
When people start using it for general pluralisation though, they deserve everything they get;)

that's fine, but no one is talking about monkeys except you.
Slashdot is for anything the Slashdot staff feel like approving.
It's not for satisfying anonymous cowards.

There's a difference between "written in" and "runs on"
The original post implied that C++ was some sort of runtime platform. It's not, it's just a language. Things don't "run on" C++ or C.

You could do that, _or_ you could actually watch the video and follow the advice therein.

no, it was setting IE as default and then preventing OEMs from making Netscape default under threat of losing their right to distribute Windows.
Merely including a product for free is not illegal.

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?
The entire population of New Zealand is only around 4 Million.

5x500 in RAID 5 is not 2.5 TB. It's 1.5 TB assuming he's running with a hot spare. (Everyone has a hot spare, right?)

Censorship has nothing whatsoever to do with it.
Anyone that thinks they, let alone their children, have a constitutional right to be sold something has their own problems.
um, there's nothing stopping the parent buying the game for their kid if they want to. Or being with the kid when they buy it.
I'm not sure I'd really call trawlers "fishermen".
However, fishermen do in fact Troll

IBM's idea certainly wasn't a machine everyone could afford.
If anyone is to get the credit for that (on the x86 side of things), then it's probably Compaq.
