My biggest gripe with this kind of crap is while it looks pretty, there is no way for a computer to read it like a human. Oh that plus it chews resources like Vista.
I'm not talking about Silverlight exclusively, Flash and Java also have the same problems. They are good for very specific things. Putting any real content in them is stupid and wasteful.
I cant wait to see Microsoft.com drop from the search rankings though as all those html pages go bye bye. The dumbass who thought of this idea gets bonus points if MSN Search also removes Microsoft.com.:D
All the IPv6 sources I know give away ips like cookies. If your ISP is fairly decent (aka your not on a budget plan) then when they switch to v6 they should also give them away.
We wont really know what policies ISPs make until they get off their lazy asses and give us ipv6.:(
AOL is the best example. Global network, hundreds of thousands of users. Do you really think they dont give out static ips because they dont like home servers?
Yeah some ISPs dont like servers. Some even block certain ports (25 is occasionally blocked). It everyone had static ips though then we'd be using ipv6 a long time ago.
One of the factors when you do a search on Google is PageRank. It is community driven yet difficult to manipulate.
If I link to your site from my site then its a vote for your site. The vote quality depends on the number of votes for my site. Paradox? Yes it is but you can calculate it to a certain extent and it gives the perceived quality of a site by the community.
The rest of your post is off topic and your just trolling.
Ext3 is flawless unless your doing something very low level or the physical media has a problem. Even then its pretty damn good. It wont one day just corrupt data unlike Windows (Home server at least).
Google's stuff is far beyond what 99% of companies can afford or run. Think about it. They have literately millions of servers in one massive cluster and everything they do is tailor made for that environment. They could release the source to Gmail and other stuff but whats the point? No one else in the world can run it.
They have infact released their gdrive source code for redundant clustered storage. Again its not really useful because few people have enough servers to make its use worthwhile. Why did they release that and not other things? Because maybe only 97% of companies cant afford to use it. Universities probably can.
If you want a valid analogue, stores arent forced to make wheelchair access until someone asks them.
Thats perfectly fine imho. If a family wants net filtering because they have kids, great. Putting it on the whole country whether you like it or not is exactly like China however.
Sorry but I cant see how '{prop name=all} Excel and {prop name=size} > 1000 and 100000 ) {/prop} and Microsoft' is useful to anyone.;) The parent's point was 11% is used for useful purposes and just not wasted on bloat.
Ever used locate with grep? Fast and powerful. I never use find.
And yes your looking for Beagle. It does exactly what you want without the Microsoft crap (wtf is 'prop'?). I havent ever found a use for search tools like that though. locate works great for finding specific files and I memorize which files are where.
Thats a scheduled defrag. It doesnt run when your system is idle, it runs only when your system has been idle for a certain amount of time. Its a subtle difference.
Also I did say that the indexing service could explain the 11% idle, it certainly doesnt work well and doesnt enhance your computing experience. Which is why its recommended that you turn it off.
If you want fast searches, you should take a look at slocate on *nix systems. You can search the entire filesystem in a fraction of a second and the indexer is run once a day which takes approx 30 seconds. The windows indexer doesnt make searches fast and it runs constantly while chewing considerable resources.
Defragging doesnt use much cpu at all - it just thrashes the hard drive. It also does not run when idle. When defragging the disk state cannot change at all so running when idle isnt ideal.
Where did you pull the indexing bit from? Your ass? The indexing service only indexes the filesystem. It has nothing to do with the speed programs load. Also its recommended that you disable it because it sucks at what it does. It doesnt help file searches at all. Although it could account for the 11% idle usage, its certainly not a good thing.
I'd like to see them too but Microsoft would never give decent stats as it would make Vista look like a dead duck.
Remember how they claimed Vista was more successful than XP by comparing the number of licenses given to OEMs for Vista to the number of copies actually sold for XP?
I'd agree with you if it was actually doing anything useful. Name one thing its doing though.
My 1Ghz Pentium 3 laptop idles at 1.3% (running Linux) which equates to 13mhz with KDE and Seamonkey (4 tabs) open. That is considered fairly normal. All it needs to do is redraw the screen and do a little AJAX updating for Gmail.
After the CPU has been left idle for more than a minute, there should be absolutely nothing to do. Oh and dont say its a new fancy Vista features which pre-computes pi just in case you need it, the guy said he got 11% with XP too.
IMHO centralized electronic medical records would be very useful and should be implemented. Under the condition that no data can be accessed without explicit permission or in life or death situations.
To make it simple, going to the GP would give the GP a brief overall view of your records. If the GP wants to delve in deeper then you need to 'unlock' the data. And the GP can access the data for a period of time. Lets say a week. If you've got cancer or something else with long term treatment then your doctor would get a longer timeout.
Using fingerprints would make it easy and convenient. If done correctly there wont be a fingerprint db either - it would be hashed and used as a password.
I was mainly talking about people who encode their MP3s at 256, 384kbps and other stupid bitrates.
Yes if you know precicely what your listening for, and have two samples at 128 and 196 bitrates, of certain types of music then you'll hear a minor difference. The differences decrease exponentially with bitrates and for all intents and purposes, 128 is perfect for casual listening by your average joe.

With IPv6 I think everyone in the world could have enough ips for one per atom in your body with plenty left over for any population increases.
:)
2^128 is a very very big number.
All the IPv6 sources I know give away ips like cookies.
:(

It uses lasers not a bulb. I imagine it would be plenty bright.
The resolution is the only problem and it'll probably increase over time.
Rather neat tech actually. Cheap and simple.
TFA says $200 - $300. :)

Some of us live in countries where the government isnt owned by corporations. ;)

Yes it makes them faster. It doesnt make them fast. :P
Its still freaking slow.
If its so useful then why do most people recommend that it should be turned off?

Doesnt explain anything.
Say hello to my 1ghz Pentium 3 laptop. Running KDE and Seamonkey it idles at 1.3%.
Old computer, new programs and operating system, same idle percent.
Alarm bells should be going off when you see 11% regardless of what operating system or computer age.
I'd agree with you if it was actually doing anything useful.

They arent irrevocable. You can change it 10 times. ;)
20 if you dont mind that kind of thing.

It works pretty well and its free. What are you complaining about?
A general idea of where you are is all you need.
It takes what? 5 seconds to zoom in to your exact location.

Dont worry, there is no difference.
:)
Losers 'think' there is a difference.
Double blind tests show otherwise.
And yes I have excellent hearing.
No no no of course pilots arent taking meth while flying.
:D
Its just the military pilots. You know, the ones with nukes strapped to their plane.
