  1. Re:Tutorial on Using apt-p2p to Upgrade on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) Released · · Score: -1

    And what is your maximum upload speed? If it's like 35Kb/s, that's why. If your router can't keep up, limit the number of connections, transmission can probably do that.

  2. Re:Encryption is good for security, bad for perfor on Resisting the PGP Whole Disk Encryption Craze · · Score: -1

    2 years is a lonnnng time. Not only have cpus gotten a lot faster but think of all the changes that have been made in software over the last 2 years, even just in the Linux ata/sata stack. It may still be that software raid isn't as fast as an expensive hardware setup, however you should at least use results that are current.

  3. Re:And yet on Skype Offering SkypeOut Service for Free · · Score: 0, Informative

    I've got a 7x. IP as well and I can't even use the service as I don't have any skype credit, it just keeps asking me to buy it. Even if I do the +1 thing and using either 2.0 or 2.5 clients.

    It seems a lot of people with IPs starting in 7 get the exact same problem. Skype should really fix this, it's a pretty large netblock.

  4. Re:the question is... on MacBook Pro Reviewed · · Score: -1

    Even the highend PPC machines never did too well in WoW against similar PCs, although they updated WoW to a universal binary and it runs A LOT better on the Intel Macs. The iMacs run it without a problem and everything turned up, I suspect the powerbook will be the same way.

  5. Ogg and Flac? on Mandriva Linux to Offer Online Music Service · · Score: -1

    I hope this becomes popular and they find some way to get a ton of songs on here. 128k AAC from the iTunes store sucks.

    I don't see what's so special about the cell....and $900? Who is going to buy a $900 console..

  7. Re:1983 called... on Apple Sued Over Potential Hearing Loss · · Score: 0

    Yes, it was called the Automatic Volume Limiter System (AVLS). You turned that on and it had preset levels which the volume could not exceed.

  8. Re:Irony .... somewhere on Intel Dumps Iitanium's x86 Hardware Compatibility · · Score: -1

    Well not really. Apple isn't really emulating PPC on the x86...since they WROTE the operating system that is running on both they have a lot more control over what's running and can do all kinds of cool translations and on the fly stuff for what the program is doing, making it not really emulation. More like how WINE is not really an emulator.

    Intel on the other hand doesn't have the advantage of total control over the software.

  9. Re:Why do we love Ubuntu on Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger" Released · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    We love Ubuntu because that's just the cool thing to do right now. I didn't find anything really amazing or cool with it, but of course that doesn't mean anything.

  12. Hit on Apple? on Windows Vista May Degrade OpenGL · · Score: -1

    Anyone find this a little odd that after apple switches to intel chips, MS decides to make DX the only real choice for 3d on their new OS? With macs running intel chips that takes out a lot of the problems with porting games, making macs a lot more likely to get current titles, especially if they become more popular. MS forcing DirectX is another problem that will get in the way, causing developers to pick between the mac or pc and of course the pc will end up winning. Writing the engine to use both would again require additional work which will probably not get done and leave mac without games again.

  14. meh on Firefox - The Platform · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I think people are blowing the whole FireFox thing entirly out of proportion. Sure it is great and all and has a lot of potential but I think articles like this are just too much worrying.

  15. wow on 100 GB Email Account · · Score: 0

    Even though 99.9% of the people will never come close to 100 gig thats going to be pretty cool if a bunch of people do. Even today 100gig is pretty large, even for the current hds out. If you manage to fill that 100 gig up with stuff that cant be compressed it must be pretty cool to know that you're using a good amount of some hd somewhere.
