  1. Re:Well... on Dual Cores Taken for a Spin in Multitasking · · Score: 2, Informative

    Mainly the difference would be found when running many apps at once. For example if you are ripping songs and playing a game simulataneously then it would be faster than a single core machine. I run many programs like proxy servers, mail servers etc. for the home LAN and also use it for games. So in this situation dual core will help me run the game lag free.

    Although for the speed boost to materialize in games they will have to be coded to use both cores, so one dosent just idle away.. When more programs get SMP aware then dual core would be great!

    The only problem righ now is, single core procs like amd64's can beat the crap out of dual core when tested mainly in single app environments because they have a higher clock speed.

  2. Re:But think of the savings! on Offshored Identity Theft · · Score: 1

    Well first of all the saving are much more that 10-15%, more around 60-70% atleast. Anyway bad people are there in the US too, so you cant really say you will 'save' that much on fraud by not outsourcing...

  3. Re:I hate April Fools on Gmail's Birthday Presents · · Score: 1

    Well, the great thing about google is that their claims which look like an april fools joke are actually real!

    Everyone thought gmail itself was a joke last year but it was real and it really shook things up and looks like they will do it again ;)

  4. Link slashdotted on Fan Group Creates Full-Length Discworld Movie · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well, looks like their university hosting wasnt up to a good /.'ng :D

  5. Re:Before jumping to conclusion on Chinese Force Mass Closure Of Net Cafes · · Score: 1

    Also, nobody would bride the safety inspectors

    lol, I think you mean bribe

  6. MAC address can be changed with software on DDOS Mafia On The Loose · · Score: 1

    Unless something is done to force accountability for wireless devices, perhaps by recording ethernet MAC addresses (which are unique and hard-coded to a physical piece of hardware), the smartest hackers will use loopholes in our current systems to break into them, literally in plain sight.

    It is a simple job of using a software like smac to change your mac address through software to defeat the purpose of recording them.

  7. Re:While we're talking about the social structure. on The Social Structure of Open Source Development · · Score: 1

    Because no work would get done if females came in!

  8. Re:$100 is still a lot. on The Hundred-Buck PC · · Score: 1

    But for those who are in developed countries a 100 dollar pc that gets donated to a third world country could be a good tax write off.

    Thats not true. I live in India and I read that the per capita income is around 900$. Still 100 bux is a lot for the villagers, but they will probably share the pc's among many people. Also the government will probably subsidize it or even give them away for free.

  9. Tags any file.. on MPAA Releases Software For Parents · · Score: 1

    I tried this software just for fun, it tagged all my home videos and even access logs from my website! (extension .txt)
    Wonder if they thought it was an ASCII movie or something :P

  10. EMP bomb on Pentagon To Send Robot Soldiers to Iraq · · Score: 1

    They should have protection against emp bombs or they could all be rendered useless in a nanosecond!

  11. Its good in theory on Indian Consortium To Offer 2 Mbps At $2.30/month · · Score: 1

    Well, it sounds good in theory, but all isp's here are notorious for low download limits.
    Broadband Internet in India right now is much more expensive than other countries.

    The only decent connection in my area is Tata Indicom broadband which gives DSL connections. My DSL line which is 512/512 costs 6000 Rs. /- i.e. 140$ for a 6GB transfer limit..

    The so called unlimited cable isp's give very low speeds (lower than dialup) and have frequent outages.

  12. Re:It was illegal on Chief of eBay's Indian Site Arrested, Released · · Score: 1

    Well.. I was mistaken as it is not child porn as they are both above 16 years of age. Also I dont have the video in my possession so stop yabbering about that!

  13. Re:It was illegal on Chief of eBay's Indian Site Arrested, Released · · Score: 1

    Why should I get a lawyer? I have not seen nor intend on seeing the video. Someone(I dont remember who) just happened to mention it to me when we were discussing about the matter!

  14. It was illegal on Chief of eBay's Indian Site Arrested, Released · · Score: 1, Informative

    What was done was illegal because it was child porn. They were both underage. The video was captured with an video camera phone and distributed via MMS and later copied onto a computer and distributed online. Although in the video the girl is smiling and stuff... so I dont think she had any problem being filmed...
