    Wow, this place still exists. Cool!

    Day trading increases liquidity in the markets. This is to the benefit of all traders, because it makes buying and selling the requisite amount of shares you would like to procure much easier.

  4. Re:flash on No Windows 7 XP Mode For Sony Vaio Z Owners · · Score: 5, Informative

    I actually reflashed my Vaio VGN-FW285J in order to enable Intel VT-x which was deliberately disabled by Sony. It irked me to no end that they disabled this feature, since I would not have bought the laptop if I'd known they'd disabled it. The procedure on how to reflash is on my blog, along with links on how to do it for Sony's other Vaio laptops (such as the "Z" series). The blog post is here: http://linux.com/community/blogs/sonys-crippled-intel-vt-support.html Credit should of course go to those fine folks who took the time to reverse engineer the BIOS, such as Igor Levicki who did this for the FW series' AMI BIOS. I hope Sony realizes they are making a big mistake.

  5. Re:Even the sun shines on a dogs.. on ACLU Files Lawsuit Challenging FISA · · Score: 1

    I don't like the ACLU- at all. Their terrorist roots and goals are not even close to being in line with me or this country.

    You were doing it wrong. Fixed that for you.

  6. Re:Of course they can ... on US Justice Dept. Sued For Cellular Tracking Information · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of something we'd always be required to do at my job during meetings. Take the cell phone battery completely out of the phone. I never really understood this, and chalked it up to paranoia, but my bosses where under the impression that someone might be able to remotely turn the mic on. They even said that this has happened before. They only required this while we were in Iraq. Maybe they need to think about doing this in the states too :)

    Assuming all of those new laws and policies are for the "terrorists". That's why they don't make sense to you. NOW SHOW US YOUR PAPERS!

    The 3D map looks more like post-apocalyptic Stockholm.

    I'll append a sarcasm tag next time. By the way, that bit of info is insanely depressing, and kind of made me feel a bit insensitive. Mod parent up.

    And when the $1 ends up in a bank in Nigeria, then what? Oh please! We all know there aren't any REAL banks in Nigeria.
  11. Porn isn't allowed in Iraq on DVD Porn Viruses Ravage US Soldiers' Computers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Having been to Iraq before, I can say with 100% certainty that porn is supposed to be off limits to soldiers. That being the case, where are they purchasing these DVDs from? Are they stopping convoys to buy them from Iraqi markets, or are they seriously not watching what the Iraqis are selling on U.S. bases anymore?

    An ISO cannot be executed anyway, so what does it matter? Besides, this is obviously a false positive.

  16. Re:No 2.6 ? on Slackware 10-RC1 Released · · Score: 1

    I asked Pat via e-mail why 2.6 wouldn't be supported in Slackware X, here's his response: "I'd have to do quite a bit to the installer, and then a lot of testing. I don't see any way to support 2.6 without an initrd, and the installer hasn't got any support for building one yet at install time. Plus, there's the issue of the changes to 2.6 disk geometry that I hear has caused some problems elsewhere. If people want to use the kernel, modules, and mkinitrd in testing, I'd consider that a supported configuration. However, to have support for using the 2.6 kernel in the installer might not be a good idea quite yet, and it would delay the release a lot. I'm planning to wait on that for the next one."

    WINE works, there just aren't enough developers. It's pretty amazing that WINE works as well as it does, and has the debugging and porting tools required to make development very easy for even the least experienced C programmer.

  21. "Sound Worked Briefly" on Linux's Achilles Heel Apparently Revealed · · Score: 2, Insightful
    So the sound was working, if only for a moment or two. This leads me to believe that Linux does have drivers for his soundcard.
    Oddly, I got that to work--but only until I rebooted. Then the sound went away again, and nothing I could do (including reinstalling ALSA) would get it to work. But the fact that the sound briefly worked told me this was a software issue, and not a problem with the sound card per se.
    Get your finger out of your ear Fred. Maybe you didn't read the ALSA documentation, which would have told you to ajust the volume with alsamixer then save the mixer settings with alsactl store. Sounds support doesn't spontaneously disappear. You're most likely the one at fault here. Not the software, not Linus ... YOU!
