    Call me lazy, but I enjoy "aptitude upgrade" without having to set it all up myself.

    Ick. I hate that style interface (multiple subwindows in a master window). I would rather have my PuTTY sessions.

    Yea, slamd64 is as close to 'official' as it's going to get. Good support too! Heck, I've been helped by Fred directly in IRC! (the guy who runs slamd64)

    Regardless, when anyone shows such irk with the substitution of a letter (which has little to no impact on the understanding of the statement in context)... they show themselves to be exactly the opposite of wise.

    Yes. If you put a (bone dry) piece of ceramic or glass for instance, it will not heat.

    Metal doesn't work for reasons I don't remember at the moment.

    Nope. Standing-wave microwaves are absorbed by water molecules, and re-radiated as heat.

    60hz vs 2.4ghz... I would think it's safe to say even the sidebands are nowhere near each other.

  13. Re:doesn't sound too secure yet on Google Native Client Puts x86 On the Web · · Score: 3, Informative

    From the article linked from the story, emphasis mine:

    The release contains the experimental compilation tools and runtime so that you can write and run portable code modules that will work in Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Google Chrome on any modern Windows, Mac, or Linux system that has an x86 processor. We're working on supporting other CPU architectures (such as ARM and PPC) to make this technology work on the many types of devices that connect to the web today.

    Reading Comprehension FTW!

    Do VMWare and VirtualBox (and the Native Client Distribution) run under an ARM chip, a PowerPC chip? How about a Cray?

    Wierd. i know the example rc file will only start files with ".torrent" - all lowercase. Some torrent sites seem to give you uppercase extensions.

    An adjustment to the file would fix this, or just renaming the file properly.

    If it's something else, I'm sure the rtorrent folks would love a bugreport and sample torrent!

    Fan-favorite Murlocs have undergone a transformation

    Anyone who has played this game more than a few hours knows that Murlocs are not fan favorites. In fact, they are nearly universally detested; Murlocs are one of the most irritating mobs in the game.
