Legit Question: If it needs less ram, then can you actually run it with less ram?
It seems that line gets mentioned with every new release but it actually means ram usage quadruples. Remember that XP only needs 128mb of ram to function.
Firewire yes. Firewire can muck around with system RAM directly. USB cannot it all has to go via the CPU.
The entire premise of this is ridiculous. No sound card can go beyond about 24khz which is barely ultrasonic and not suitable for data. Plus hacking many different chips, some which do not even have firmware, seems too unlikely.
Sure release it on different dates, but so what if a EU person did buy a copy from the US? Maybe they were in the US then flew home? Staggering load doesn't actually explain why they prevent otherwise legit purchases from working.
Err there is no hardware detection for the graphics card. 'fglrx' is the driver for every ATI card so the driver didn't change at all. When you reinstalled it would have been the exact same driver, exact same everything.
I like them simply because they are significantly cheaper for the same performance. I prefer saving more money and getting 'pretty damn good' rather than 'ultimate system which is out of date a week after it arrives'.
That sounds slightly odd. A reinstall would just install the exact same software again. If your kernel panics then installing the same kernel again won't fix it.
Personally I have 5 monitors connected to 2 ATI cards with the fglrx drivers. Works pretty damn well. Of course the way I have it set up is utterly impossible in Windows.

The disable_functions config option kills that code instantly.
Javascript not having USB access sounds like a good thing to me..... I'm actually surprised you can do that with Java.
Actually a good work around would be to expose your USB token as a image device. Use HTML5 (or god forbid Flash) to extract the encoded data from the image presented. Little bit clunky but it would work everywhere without any setup.
Well apparently to keep planes secure you need all this tracking data on the people on the plane - Of course it isn't as simple as just stopping bombs and weapons on to the plane.
You really want the private airlines to have all that data? This thread is a uproar on the TSA having all this data let alone private companies.
This article is about battery life. You only need a single app to prevent the CPU from achieving slower clock speeds and spinning down drives and stuff like that.
My point is running Windows without any programs that could prevent better power savings would be extremely tricky.
Oh I know it isn't that difficult. I have written apps directly using APIs.
The question is does anyone actually do it in mainstream apps? Tip: No they don't. For battery life purposes, the majority of apps would have to be efficient to make a difference.

Its curious that Linux has leapfrogged Windows in this area.
That would be smart and logical. Of course they couldn't have put a switch in!

Three possibilities:
A) The spying stuff isn't to stop terrorists.
B) They are just flat out incompetent.
C) A + B combined.
With only 3 dead, the Boston bombing is a really really poor excuse for additional security.
It was a fairly weak attack.
Americans just get spooked easily.
Custom built? Google published their 'protocol buffers' specs ages ago and even supplied source code.

Step 5. Insert NSA trojan in to binary.
Yep I got the exact same binary too!
implode(array('glue' => ',', 'peices' => $stuff));
Eww. Just eww man. So much more typing and room for error for no benefit whatsoever except you can swap the order around.
Some people can't be cured. In that case, yes let Darwin handle it.
You know that you don't need much skill or money to replace capacitors right? They come off pretty easily.

Unfortunately these debates are way too complicated.
E.g. does the Mac version actually use the correct, fast APIs?
And who exactly does that on Windows? 1% of apps (including MS apps)?
When did you last try out of curiosity?
I had some issues (yes Powerpoint mostly) early on but nothing in the last 2 years or so.
Everything just opens and saves perfectly.
In my company we use it for certain documents which must be edited and viewed by multiple people.
Pretty useful, but not critical.
They can't. The zombies already ate their brains.
