    Try running "nice" on it. Something like
    su - -c 'nice -n -10 su - user -c "startx"'
    or something along those lines will make it feel a lot faster.

  8. Re:Acid2 is dumb. on Update on Standards and CSS in IE7 · · Score: 1

    It's easier to develop good CSS if when there is a problem it renders the same in all browsers to a known spec, rather than just letting the designer know "uh-oh...something's wrong".

    Ask if your customers are happy, not if your shareholders are.

    MS is a public company, its purpose is to make the shareholders happy. Making their customers happy is just a way to make that happen.

    They are only interested in what benefits them the most. Just look at support for GPL enforcement but hatred towards RIAA for their copyright enforcement.

    1. GPL enforcement helps the majority of people, and only hurts a small minority, while not enforcing RIAA copyrights would help everyone except the RIAA
    2. When the GPL is enforced, it is not done by a multi-billion dollar corporation telling a small, non-profit closed-source programmer that he/she will be sued into bankruptcy whether they are guilty or innocent if they do not pay a multi-thousand dollar settlement

    Show me the law which says that you can be arrested for "acting suspiciously". If you're worried about someone doing something illegal through your network then shut it down, but being in a public street at night is not a crime.

    Doesn't? Its whole purpose is to advertise that an access point is available.

    He then asks for an address using DHCP, which the router gives it to him without authentication.

    The router advertised its presence and allowed him to enter without authentication. What more can you want?
