  1. Easy Workaround on Ceiling Height May Affect Problem-Solving Skills · · Score: 1

    Solution : Sit on the floor when thinking. Now the ceiling is further away from you. (Thought of in a room with a 9 foot ceiling.)

  2. Re:Inside the Windows Vista kernel... on Inside the Windows Vista Kernel, Part 2 · · Score: 1

    You should have a code reviewer next time. I spot at least 4 bugs. :)

    #include "uac.h"

    int main() {
    uac_alert("You are attempting to declare variables. Cancel or allow?");
    int i;

    uac_alert("You are attempting to enter a loop. Cancel or allow?");
    for (i = 0; i = 100; i++) {
    uac_alert("You are attempting to iterate a loop. Cancel or allow?");
    //removed duplicate i++
    }

    uac_alert("You are attempting to exit program. Cancel or allow?");
    return 0;
    }


    Pair programming is fun.

  3. Battery life on Intel and Laptop RAID? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So basically any power that may have been saved from their new chipsets (IIRC they were better on power consumption) can now be bypassed by adding another hard drive. And with networked docking stations at the company that routinely perform network backups, I wonder how big the target audience is for mobile RAID devices. Pretty soon we'll see notebook computers that are just as big as desktops -- multiple hard drives, huge monitors, etc. I was sitting next to a lady on a flight about a year ago that reached under her seat and after about 5 minutes of thrashing about, pulled out this 17" widescreen notebook that must have weighed about 20 lbs, as when she put it on the "tray table", it looked like it was about to snap from all of the pressure. I'm quite content with my 12" laptop for travel use, as it only weighs about 5 lbs.
