I don't think your computer illiterate mother-in-law really cares about how much memory is used for aggressive caching. I don't know what to say about somebody who apparently cares enough about this issue but can't figure it out.
Oxygen doesn't explode, hydrogen does. If a tank of oxygen were to explode, it's probably do to mechanical failure, and the result is just the effect of the gas decompressing.
I dunno what the hype is, but to me the music is harsh, jarring and discordant. Honestly, it most resembles feedback, and I got a headache just from listening to that for ten minutes. Eventually I had to mute the sound to keep playing:/
I read a lot on my PocketPC as well, and you don't even need ebooks for those - just download a.doc file, and there are IRC channels dedicated to providing them. Only catch is with Word Mobile, there's no bookmark feature. I've yet to look into third party applications, but at least one of them is likely to support that.
I'm generally not very impressed by individuals who "stand up for what they believe". Anybody can do that! It takes a very brave individual to change what they believe, and an even braver one who will examine things that they know are False(TM) knowing full well that it may change the way that they think and might even change who they are.
S'cuse me, but I'm stealing that;). I may or may not agree with the rest of your post, but that is one of the most insightful things I've read in a long time.
I've been looking into this issue, and all it takes is a simple registry patch, as outlined in the Microsoft article, which was simple enough to follow. I don't see why they had to make a program with an installer. Maybe to leave their name on the patched systems?
The ability to change it for many computers is interesting, but you have to pay for their Network Administrator program as well as install it on each computer. A better solution (which is what I've done) is to just implement the patch via Domain Group Policies.
And XP was pretty slow compared to 2000 when it came out. The problem will probably solve itself before the end of this year as hardware improve, and considering that Vista will be the mainstream OS of choice for the next five or six years, it shouldn't be a major problem.
I'm not too familiar with this whole GPL thing that XviD is under, but doesn't it prevent exactly that? Anyway, XviD and DivX are dying, anyway, since most people are moving on to the superior *264 codecs.
You're thinking of connectors. Connectors are often plated with gold to avoid the nasty corrosion you see on a lot of old nickel connectors. Cable wiring are often plated in silver because when applying a teflon jacket, normal copper wire, which is plated in solder, will fuse into one solid strand when it's dipped into the teflon. Silver plating, on the other hand, has no such problems.
There are MANY more types of capacitors used than the three you listed. Film/foil caps use a plastic film or a sheet of nonconductive foil (paper, etc) as the dielectric instead of aluminum oxide as in electrolytic caps or tantalum oxide in tantalum caps. They are generally larger in size compared to other caps for a given capacitance, but electrically superior.
See here for a detailed list of various kinds of caps.

Yeah, yeah... "OMFGBBQ ITS SONY THEY WILL INSTALL ROOTKITS ON IT!!1 IT WILL TELL SONY WHEN YOU WATCH PORN!!11"

Sounds like the beginnings of cyberbrains... Ghost in the Shell fans, rejoice!
Maybe it's just me, but both my motherboard and PSU emit barely noticeable whines that drive me nuts.
However do you deal with your monitor, various computer components, and fans in said computer?
It's still being developed, but works pretty well so far.
Instead, you get kernel panicks :/

If I were half paralyzed, that's what I'd do :D
Oh I see. Linux didn't work well for him, so he's obviously a yahoo. Way to ad hominem it up. This obviously proves how great Linux is, right?
If the other PC is plugged in to a properly grounded outlet, then the chassis should be a good ground.

You want 1024x768 video, on a screen the size of a SD card? :/
Or more like... forwards land, when you think about it.

So who CAN be trusted with nukes?

We're talking about Linux geeks, here :P
