  1. Re:Dangerous on Possible Hole in Black Holes · · Score: 1

    Nothing changes. The effect is the same. The matter just goes somewhere after the Earth has been squashed to the size of a pin head.

  2. Re:Why... on Possible Hole in Black Holes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmm...I'm trying to think of a question which gives 42 but I'm not having much luck.

    What if your webserver doesnt use threads? :P

    With a rechargable dock there still is a cable. The only difference is there is a small gap between the cable and the mouse.

  5. Re:SourceForge is easy to beat on Google Announces Open Source Repository · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But we do contribute back to Sourceforge. Thats what all the ads are for.

  6. Re:Another Get Firefox day coming soon... on IE7 to be Pushed to Users Via Windows Update · · Score: 5, Funny

    ActiveX is the bug which Microsoft hasnt fixed since IE 3.
    I believe they are calling it a 'feature'. ;)

    Seamonkey for me is chewing 150mb of ram. Thats with over 2gig of email and 10 tabs open with the download manager open.
    I love it. It uses the memory I'm not using to speed itsself up.

    Linux does the same thing. I only have 20mb of ram free out of 1 gig and I have KDE with 4 windows open (3 are Seamonkey). It is by design and it will free up more memory if needed.

  8. Re:Some catching up... on Debian to Run on AMD64 · · Score: 1

    I'm talking about general computing. Not specialised servers or render farms.

    A solely 64 bit system at the moment wont make the best desktop. AMD64 provides the bridge.

    p2p file sharing of course. :)

    If everyone had connections this fast then it would be dead useful. Until then I'm stuck on 256/64.

    People I know with amd64 only consider SuSE and Gentoo. Proof enough?
    Personally my amd64 servers run Gentoo.

    IA64 doesnt really count IMHO. amd64 is 64 bit processing made useful.

  11. Re:"Natively on AMD64"? on Debian to Run on AMD64 · · Score: 1

    What? The fact that one is Intel and the other is AMD? :P

    The differences are extremely minor and for half that list non-existant anymore.

    Thats called Multilib. Its either a 32 bit program running off 32 bit libraries or a 64 bit program with 64 bit libraries.
    You cant use a 32 bit program with 64 but libraries and vice versa.
    I was also under the impression that 16 bit wouldnt work at all.

  13. Re:Only solves 50% of the problem on Solar Power Minus the Light · · Score: 1

    Yay now I can use the spare heat generated by my cpu, gpu, hard drives, etc... to power my computer!
    Ok yes I know it wouldnt work but it could at least recycle part of that excess energy back in to running the computer.

  14. Re:dual boot? on Inside Vista's Image-Based Install Process · · Score: 1

    Hmm...Maybe Red Hat needs to sue MS to make them support other OS's just like whats happening with Search, WMP, etc....

    As a side note I'm a Gentoo user and to get in to Windows I just unplug my main hard drive and Windows boots off a 4gig hdd.
    Pretty simple. Not that I do it too often.

  15. Re:One Page (printable) version on Browser Comparison - Firefox 2 b1, IE7 b3, Opera 9 · · Score: 1

    IE has a preloader too. Remember how IE is crucially built in to the kernel?
    The actual IE ActiveX control is in memory all the time.

    Wow the install process is faster. I really dont see why thats useful at all since you only install your OS once. Oh wait what are we talking about? Windows? Oops. Thats a great feature then. This is coming from someone who says that a 2 day Gentoo install is great. ;)

    3.1 isnt a OS. Anything those machines need to do can be done in DOS. Why would you have a fancy 3.1 gui on a vending machine?

    Everything in moderation. Too much junk food is unhealthy. Too much meat is unhealthy. Too much plant matter is unhealthy. The inverse is also true. Too little meat or plant matter is unhealthy.

    Just fyi look at your teeth. They are omnivore teeth. Now smart people think 'That must mean I should eat meat and vegetation and that not eating one will be bad' while stupid people think 'Killing Animals is wrong even though it happens constantly in the wild and we are designed to eat plants and animals.'

    That was a bug. Its now fixed. It is 100% accurate now and very speedy due to the new server.

    Nick here. That would have been when my server went down. I have a new server now and a better version so go get it. I should have 99.9% uptime.
