As you say, your own point of view. I actually thought Timothy Dalton was the closest to matching the Bond from the books. I quite liked him, and thought he wasn't given a fair shake. Too many people wanting Remington Steele as Bond, or a return of Connery or (gah) Moore.
Anybody else notice the slide showing the Facebook page has a tab open titled "How to get a screenshot"? Are these people *that* technically incompetent?
You did read the part about the "Orderly dissolution fund" being funded by the very corporations who may someday be dissolved, correct? About how there's no government money going into it? Oh - I get it - you're against it because it's mandated self-life-insurance for the Corporate Persons.
Not quite correct. The ReadyBoost cache is pre-filled with usable data by the SuperFetch caching system, so it's not just write-back. It will also (theoretically) "learn" your loading patterns, and if you, say, start up the same application at 9am every day, it will start putting that application into the ReadyBoost cache just before. Also, the article linked in the GP specified a max cache of 4gb - that was true in Vista, but 7 and 2008 can use larger flash drives provided they're formatted NTFS or exFAT. I have an 8GB ReadyBoost cache on my workstation at the office, it makes a noticeable difference - so much so that I immediately noticed it when some cleaning jerk swiped my USB key and ReadyBoost wasn't functioning anymore. And this is with a system with 4gb of memory (granted, 32-bit Win7, so not all of it was being used).
Your mileage, as always, may vary.
Throw the SSD in a USB enclosure and try ReadyBoost if you're using Windows Vista SP1, 7, or 2008 Server. Not sure if that will work or not, but you can try it. Works with Flash drives.
I would support jailtime for littering. Very SHORT jailtime, but nonetheless. It disgusts me to see some asswipe toss a fast food beverage cup out his car window into what little green area we have left.
Any serious spies are going to communicate through some deniable,encrypted,stenographic channel so my money is on these poor fuckers being genuine human rights activists who are just going to be called spies and shot.
I think you meant steganographic there. Stenography is shorthand, steganography is hiding content in ways that hide the fact that there is hidden content at all.
My Kingdom for a Mod Point. I live in St. Louis, and know people who live on either coast. They don't believe me when we compare living expenses. I keep hoping for some big (coughGooglecough) IT company that's nice to work for to decide to rural-source a data center and need a good sysadmin. I'm sure their base salary is double what I'm making today, just because of the lower cost of doing business.
More than 90% of all software tested fails to compile the first time.
Seriously, that's what security testing is for - finding holes so they can be filled.
I realize I'm posting late to a popular thread, but there's an issue I'd like to address here. I see a lot of comments saying essentially "fatties are that way because they choose to be". Aside from the fact that "fatties" is a perfect example of the fact that obese people are the only remaining demographic of which it's perfectly acceptable to abuse, obesity is not always a choice.
Let me state that another way for the thinking-impaired: I don't choose to be fat, but I am. And there ain't jack I can do about it, short of expensive cosmetic surgery.
OK, you're asking "How, fatass, can you be fat? Surely exercise and diet can overcome these things?"
There is a condition known as "hypothyroidism". There are many causes; in my case it was an auto-immune disease known as "Grave's Disease". It caused my body to attack my own thyroid gland - a gland in the neck that secretes thyroid hormone, which controls most of a person's metabolism. The reaction from the thyroid is to over-produce thyroid hormone, sending your metabolism into overdrive. When I was first diagnosed, I was recently out of the Army, and had been very fit, about 185lbs of muscle (on a 5'8" frame). I went to my doctor because I lost 30 lbs - down to 155lbs - and my resting heart rate had skyrocketed to 120beats per minute. They tested me, and told me that if it wasn't corrected, I would have an extremely elevated risk for heart failure. The treatment is to take a simple, $12,000 pill made of radioactive iodine. The thyroid converts iodine into thyroid hormone, so the vast majority of iodine in your diet is drawn to the thyroid. The radiation then kills off a portion of your thyroid. There is also a surgery, but since the thyroid is wrapped around the nerves controlling your vocal cords, and the slightest nick can paralyze them - so it's not done much anymore.
The problem with this treatment is that they cannot get the "dosage" of the radioactive iodine exactly correct. In most cases, they over-compensate, and kill off too much thyroid. This happened to me. My metabolism slowed to a crawl. They replace the missing thyroid hormone with a synthetic version, which is supposed to do the same thing. Problem is, medical studies have shown that it doesn't. They test your required dose of synthetic hormone by testing for a different hormone, TSH - "Thyroid Sensing Hormone". Basically, another gland in your brain checks your body for thyroid level, and if it's too low, it sends out TSH to trigger your thyroid to create more thyroid hormone. Turns out, though, that synthetic thyroid hormone is detected as real thyroid hormone by that gland - causing it to normalize the level of TSH - but it doesn't actually do the job that the real thyroid hormone does - raising your metabolism.
End result - I take $400 (after insurance) of medicine per year that doesn't do jack, to keep my TSH level "normal", and my metabolism is still crawling. I weigh about 260lbs now. I eat sensibly, get exercise, but none of it does any good at reducing my fat. Only way I could really lose it would be through liposuction. And I'm not alone. Anyone who has this condition will tell you the same thing.
Spamhaus didn't put you on the PBL, your ISP did. The PBL is made up of netblocks owned by ISPs who specifically don't want mail coming from those blocks. I use sbl-xbl instead of zen because the PBL has too many "false" positives.

Only Timothy Dalton was worse then Brosnan.

Nobody really gave him a chance.
Just... just fuck you. Seriously.
Yeah, but how many watts can you get just by burning a pile of dead rats?
I just re-watched Firefly, and there are no previews, forced or unforced, on any of the DVDs.
Not that there aren't on other sets. I'm sure there are. But please, when you use a demonstrably false example, you undermine your own argument.
Try searching for "recursion", see what it suggests...

Summer of Code, dude. This sounds like something Google would get behind.

What the author wants is what Windows 7 calls ReadyBoost - except using SSDs instead of USB Flash drives. I'd love to see it too.

You're thinking much too locally. Go rent "The 13th Warrior" and check out the guy who plays Bulywif, Vladimir Kulich. Would make an *excellent* Thor.
I'm waiting until Service Pack 2.
Most people are bad at math and logical reasoning.
Compared to what?
Thank you for providing that excellent example of how most people are bad at logical reasoning.

Not to mention "Claims". Proper headline, knowing where this article comes from, should be:
Iran Claims it has hacked Alleged US Spy Sites
Geez. This is like people believing the USSR's Pravda back in the Cold War.

And loosing all your precious information
You don't deserve to be called a geek unless you can figure out the difference between "lose" and "loose".

They did it. Alas, it was Squidbillies on Adult Swim, so pretty much nobody ever saw it.
Unfortunately, apparently YouTube is experiencing the Slashdot effect from that $300 sci-fi movie story.
for Service Pack 1?
OK, sorry, missed the point. Let me see if I can clear this up.
The "7" in Windows 7 refers to "workstation" systems. 2003 was never available as a "client" version, just server.
1 - Windows 1.x
2 - Windows 2.x
3 - Windows 3.0, 3.1, 3.11
4 - Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME
5 - Windows 2000, Windows XP
6 - Windows Vista
7 - Windows 7
(and Curse You, Slashdot, for not supporting <ol> properly)
Does that clear things up? I think those were the official release numbers associated with the various product names.
