No, Fritz on AMD is beating Fritz on Intel, Shredder on AMD and Shredder on Intel.
There are four configurations.
So it would at least indicate that either AMD and Fritz are both generaly faster, or that Fritz contains code that runs faster on AMD (Whether by design or accident)
Entrapment only happens when police trick someone into doing something illegal. The act of encouraging them to do it, doesn't make an illegal thing legal, which is the whole point.
One part of the previous poster's point was that the act of 'hacking' into a machine you have been given permission to try and crack is not illegal in the first place, so therefore entrapment cannot apply, whether or not it's done by an officer of the law or a private entity.
> I have yet to see it completely crash to the point where I need to reload it
I should bloody well hope not!...
I should hope that there isn't a single PDA out there that has even the slightest chance of fscking itself enough to require reinstalling the OS.
If you'd said you'd never seen it crash, full stop, then I'd be impressed. But this statement makes it sound like it crashes all the time... A PDA shouldn't crash at all....
> I can't buy hardware that doesn't support Linux, and so I have no time to read about hardware rewviews which only mention Windows.
An attitude like that won't help expand the variety of hardware available.... If it's new and interesting technology, then it's new and interesting technology, regardless of where it runs.
Linux support for most video cards doesn't come from the manufacturer, it comes from people who look at a review, really like the sound of the card, notice there's no linux support, and start working on fixing it.
Besides which, I havent seen linux mentioned in the last few ATI or nVidia card reviews....yet drivers exist for them.
Also, SIS are one of the few companies that have actually provided their own linux drivers in the past, so there's no reason to believe they won't now. Especially when the drivers section of the Xabre website doesn't even have Windows drivers there yet.
And as a matter of fact, every modern video card will work with linux and X via the VESA standards (though admittedly the performance won't be as good as a native driver)
> This is like those local governments that think you need a separate law to cover driving while yapping on a cell phone. Isn't wreckless driving, or driving while distracted enough?
So you would instead prefer a broad sweeping, vague law that could be twisted to cover anything a cop having a bad day felt like?
The pictures shown in the part where they explain the process are mockups...that's fairly obvious...but there are other pictures that are real, those are the dark blurry ones...
What I'm looking for is a good multiplayer cooperative game.
Hexen was for me the best Doom engine game for that reason, and Heretic II was the best Quake II engine game
I don't know why games makers always assume you want to beat the crap out of your friends....
Especially since the person I most often play multiplayer games with is my girlfriend... Too many one on one deathmatches with your SO don't help the relationship all that much;)
I think you'll find that one gram of them wouldn't do much more than one gram of anything.
The only difference is that one gram of strangelet would be so small, that you wouldn't know you were holding it in the first place.
grams are a measure of mass, and the gravitational force an object exerts is relative to it's mass. Objects with a mass of 1 gram don't tend to make worlds dissapear.
They're probably using the network address to figure it out, usualy this will narrow it down to country, except in the rare occurence where a multi-national company has an entire Class A to themselves
> Those who are not among sharpest crayons in the box tend to have more free time to consume fiction.
No, it's the sharper crayons that have figured out that it is much more enjoyable and rewarding to spend their free time reading, than wasting it by staring mindlessly at adverstisments all evening, which is what the dull crayons do.
It's also those sharper crayons that actually have the reading skills to enjoy a good book.
Actually, I'd say windows has finaly caught up with Linux on the OS Installation front....
Have you ever tried installing Win95 from scratch.
It actually manages to lose track of the CDRom drive halfway through the process....the very same CDRom drive it was installing from in the first place!

Then read the article....
I cringe every time I see this topic come up....
There is no Internet censorship in Australia...
There may be a list of 'banned' sites, but no mandatory or network level blocking is happening.
An Australian can quite happily go to any site regardless of how disgusting, disturbing, explicit it is, or who's political agenda it's pushing.
I believe that ISPs have to provide access to blocking software if the customer wants it.....but that's the limit.
I believe that the list is provided to vendors of blocking software for the Australian versions of their software.
>Nope. Never crashed full stop. Some of the applications running on it have crashed, but those are bugs in the app itself thus far
:)
well then, that's all right then
>Is there any reason why these would be any safer if they were each in a separate machine?
Yes, a compromise of one service wouldn't automatically lead to a compromise of all...
It doesn't really lessen the chance of having something compromised, just limits damage if it does happen.

The really ironic thing about this old joke, is that the Microsoft comment can only really be applied to the hardware side of the computer industry.
You could also say that if Microsoft had developed at the same pace as the hardware industry, then WindowsXP would be written in 10 lines of code.

No...they don't want you to pay for it...
they want you to pay for having a nice ad free page in which to make pointless rants about a story not interesting you.
Nobody forces you to read the stories, and slashdot has never, ever been a pure science, technology or even Linux / Unix site.
Do you make the same complaint when there's an MIT Dome Hack posted?, because this is in exactly the same spirit.
if you had done so, then that would have been news.
But you didn't, and neither did anyone else, except this guy.
THAT's why this is news....

No...that's wrong....
Rule 1 is you don't talk about Fight Club
If they hadn't have posted this story, I, and may others, wouldn't have known about either the Pixter OR the Phusion.
And on looking at the Phusion, I think that'd probably suit a slightly older child than the Pixter, but thanks for the link!
how do you know his comment wasn't directed at the poster?

I agree with application installation though....
But I thought it as *BSD that was dying...
or at least, that's what the trolls keep telling us....
