And can you point to an example where a MS product has been not "fully" working because it is running on a "lower" version?
Yes, I can: Windows Services for Unix. Doesn't work on XP Home.
Flash and image ads - in themselves - are not evil.
No, Flash *is* evil. It leads to lazy webprogramming. The times I couldn't visit some site because the menu is in Flash are countless.
Indeed, I don't have Flash. Why? Because my platform isn't supported: linux/ppc.
But If I were blind for example and I had to surf with a text-based browser, I would not be able to view those sites also.
So, yes, Flash is evil.
Does that mean that Microsoft competitors will be able to add MS(c)SecurityHoles(tm) in their products to ensure compability with all kinds of exploits?
He right tho..
If I drive a truck with 100.000 iPod's to your house, in let's say an hour you get a total bandwith of 100.000*60GB*(8bits/byte)/60/60 = 13333,33.. gigabit. Which is huge. But so is the latency.
According to Wikipedia (too lazy to link)
US: 22%
Germany 9,8%
France 6,5%
U.K. 5,5%
Italy 5%
Spain 2,5%
So the five largest European contibutors are over 27%, thus the EU is paying more.
You must be new here:
when referencing to the movie which made it famous, you could say fubar,
but in programming, and that's what this article is about, one uses foo bar
CD-ROM games, when they first came out, weren't copyable.
Oh yes they were. I remember a ripped version of C&C, it fitted easily on just 35 1.44 mb floppies.
Of course there was always some crc fault on one of them, so it took hours to: go to friend down the street, copy on floppy, go home, disk 23 fails, ge back to friend, etc..
Those were the days...
1) Wine is not an emulator. Cedega equals Wine, with a few modifications. By the transitive property, Cedega is not an emulator.
2) Have you actually tried running Cedega? Imho there's maybe 10% overhead, if you're unlucky, but it is hardly noticable.
Since the fork is going to use the same code as you're using right now, it doesn't make a difference.
It will be more like upgrading then like switching. Besides, if it works right now, why would you change anything? (Except for security fixes)
You're right, I wouldn't take a bet on my little test, but there's a difference neverthless.
I was wondering if it would make sense to use some kind of raid method to speed those things up. Like split a 1 gig flashdrive in 4 or 8 or even more pieces and use striping to speeds the whole process up.

Err.
No hard disk will be able to saturate a USB 2.0 bus, let alone a PATA bus.
So that won't be the bottleneck.
No, that would be: XII/II=VI

I wouldn't suggest shred, because it is ineffective on journaled filesystems, which most linux users tend to use. (ext3, reiser, xfs, ...)
You're probably right concerning US law, however, Belgian(*) law doesn't allow copyrighting things/words that have existed for ages.
:-)
(*)small country in Europe
Bikini is an island, so there have never been any trademarks to that.
Hear hear... Brittons are the only ones getting EU tax cuts in the whole union and still complaining..
You should have paid more attention.
Such telescopes exist.
Hey man, I was just joking..
I tought it was quite funny, but otoh you could have been totally serieus, which was even more funny.
Laugh!
You're either quite funny or extremely stupid.

Google for it, but it's true...

Their land? I believe those Palestinians lived there already for a thousand years until suddenly some Israelians took it from them.

Public adresses with IPv6!
6x10^23 adresses per square meter on earth!
Do shift+alt+numlock and magically numpad5 becomes your left mousebutton.
(in X11 this is, in windows it's ctrl+alt+numlock if I'm not mistaking)
