  1. Re:AMD 939 on Building a Video Editing Box? · · Score: 1

    I have had same setup, but problem with FAT32 is that files cannot be larger than 2GB, which, if you're into video-editing and stuff, might be to small. So I've changed that partition to ext3, for which a windows driver exists (google for it)

    Actually not..
    On a 400-passenger plane the change would be one to 400,
    but on a 800-passenger one it would be one to 800..

    Was going to reply:

    Luckily I googled for it and it turned out that Orwell was just a pseudonym.

    So, thank you sir! You just gave me some knowledge..

    I think the other way around is verrry strange
    Imagine someone with too much money hates your guts,
    they can let you pay a couple of thousands bucks
    just by sending you a insane amount messages?

  10. Re:How much do you pay for SMS on SMS Text Messaging & Youth Debt One · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What I found the strangest thing in the article,
    is that one has to pay for recieving messages.
    Here in Belgium, you only have to pay for sending, mostly about 0.13 (about $0.10 or less)
    It's not like you have to pay to recieve a phonecall or something, or am I mistaking?

  11. Re:PQI iStick on SanDisk Spins SD/USB Flash Combo · · Score: 1

    I've had one of those too...
    One day I plugged it into my brandnew, shiny computer and the thing went
    zzzzzap, started smoking, melting and finaly burning
    Since then I prefer my memory sticks to be as large and heavy as possible.

    Disclaimer: I too kept the thing in my wallet, might have been not exactly the purpose.
    The usb port still works, btw

  12. Re:Bill Gates on Microsoft's Technical Glitches at CES Explained · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, assume 800 million computer out there running.
    Don't know how reliable this is, it was the first thing I found while googling.
    (while looking at that page, take a look at the "previous question" too, quite funny)
    Let's underestimate and say that 500 million of those run some form of MS Windows.
    Each user uses his computer 1 hour a day (again underestimating I think)
    this gives 500 million hours of computer time a day.
    Windows lasts (for the sake of simplicity, don't forget a lot of those computer might still use Win9x)
    50 hours before Bsod'ing, which gives 10 million Bsod's a day,
    so It would take mr Gates 280 centuries.

    Conclusion: he must be very old.

    "My personal guess is that the FAA will shoot this project down well before it gets off of the ground, unless the kites are equipped with transponders (since they will be in CLASS A* airspace) and lights (so that pilots flying VFR can see and avoid)."

    As you may or may not be aware, the Netherlands are not a state in the United States of America.
    The netherlands are a country in central Europe.
    Unless you figured it out by now, FAA rules don't apply here.

    A CS prof told me once that a simular thing had happened to the Ariane V also
