I think it will be interesting to see ratios of $299/$399 packages when they end up in retail. I think MS would be wise to make the high-end version make up at least half of those available.
Nah, this is more like a user telling the sysadmin their computer at home runs Windows. The sysadmin might not like it, but that doesn't change anything. He can't control what the user does at home, and you can't control what your daughter says at school.
The momentum from the tech crowd just wouldn't be there.
Why not? Looks like a lot of the tech crowd knows about it now. Anyway, what is the one company who could build BitTorrent/Avalanche into a browser that 80+% of people use and make it invisible to the average user? Sorry, but it's Microsoft. Firefox may implement BT sometime but there are a bunch of things they're discussing.
Yeah AMD has something. It's called the Intel C Compiler.
No seriously...many of the optimizations in there will also affect an AMD chip. AMD reaps the benefits of Intel's work, especially SSE1/2/3 once they release chips with their implementation.
This is NOT to say there aren't more things that AMD could be optimizing with their own compiler (or gcc patches like you said), it's just that I've seen many situations where any time the ICC improves an Intel chip's performance, it is improved by similar amounts on a comparable AMD chip.
...I'll never buy anything from Intel again. And it also cured me of brand loyalty too...
Seems like an oxymoron to me. Completely avoiding a brand based on one bad experience is as foolish as being completely loyal based on one good experience.
I don't know about everyone else, but I've noticed a difference with my IntelliMouse Explorer between using the PS/2 adapter and just going USB...and the PS/2 just feels more responsive. Maybe it's specific to that mouse, maybe it's in my head, I dunno. But I would swear it was smoother. Also USB seems to be more prone to hiccups when the processor is under heavy load.
Did you start using it just because it had the Google name? I did, and after using it for a little while decided to see what else is out there. Turns out I like Copernic Desktop Search better, and so did many of the reviews I read. Google rocks, but don't forget there are others too, and they might even be doing it better! Not likely, but still....
I think what he's saying and most people are missing is that provided MS could even come out with a distro that could become dominant, everyone on open source Linux projects would realize their work is going to help Microsoft's bottom line (since the majority of users are on an MS distro). Then they would run to the bathroom, throw up, and cease all work on their respective projects.
Now do I agree? Nope.
Winamp only skips when you update an ID3 v2 tag. My theory on this is that since v2 tags are of variable size, the file needs to be re-written. So it re-writes your MP3, switches to playing the new one, then deletes the old one. I'm guessing it skips because of buffer sizes or something, not totally sure.
You can already use your own computer as a tracker. I don't know how many users it could support (probably a hell of a lot) but I've done it before for getting movies I've made with friends out to those friends after I've edited them. (Believe me, don't believe me, I don't care)
I did it with Azureus which is the only BT client I've used. I don't know if others can do it too. Sure you have to have your computer on all the time but don't you already?
Slashdot Mirror
Nature doesn't operate on 100% uptime, only 99.9%.
Really? I must have missed the time nature went down. What was that like?
I'd think whoever found this bug has the know-how to fix it. Why wouldn't/shouldn't he issue a security alert AND the fix at the same time?
No you can't.
It was possible to change the location, but you had to do it in the registry. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Desktop\data_dir

If ever there was a license to print money...

So like he said...get over yourself.
Because some day the average person will be using BitTorrent and they won't even know it. Nor will they care.
I remember some time ago Adrian's Rojak Pot ran an editorial about their site and ad-blocking. They say that 89% of their ads are blocked.

You can trademark words but not numbers.
But they just did, that's what the whole story is all about!! Sorry....bad joke......
Hey, it could have been BitAvalanche. Or Torrent Explorer. Or Microsoft Downloading Suite 2005. Or Large File Download Wizard......

Can I get the proof for 360 = 6.283185307179? I always knew my math professors were keeping something from me.
The problem then is getting torrents where the tracker is down. Of course, even that is less of an issue now...

Umm, no...it's commenting on AutoLink...
The punch line there is supposed to be "In fact, forget the internet!" but whatever...
It would seem you've never seen Hi-Def content. This isn't about fitting the extended LotR on one disc...it's about being on one disc in true HD.
