Can you verify that whatever you're using to measure doesn't include disk cache? Linux's policy is to use all free memory for disk cache, which results in some pretty inflated usage numbers in 'top' and elsewhere.

Dude goes in for a sore throat, doctor accidentally amputates his leg. Which of these makes you feel safer? a) Dude gets a big check. The doctor's malpractice insurance goes up a little and he keeps on "practicing". b) Doctor is fired for being an idiot, gets a new job as a plumber.

Hey look, exactly what I said! This is approaching my tolerance of trolls so I'm done. But feel free to post some bs critique/excuse for me to ignore.
If you're living in a cave with no internet, sure. But it's taken two decades of reverse engineering to get us things like.doc support in OpenOffice, web pages that work in both IE6 and Firefox, read/write NTFS, DirectX games, and so on. All thanks to Microsoft's systematic and deliberate anti-openness measures.
they are actually encouraging businesses to not come to their state
Welcome to the wonderful world of taxes. I should know, I'm from New York and there's a reason our population has been dropping like a rock for decades.
Every rock in the solar system has a different temperature, light insolation, and gravity. Given the different conditions, designing a 'standard' probe would be like designing a deep-sea submarine that could also climb Mount Everest.
My parents have an interesting "solution" to this service - a party line. Back in the day you could share your phone line with another house and pay half price. They held out until they were the only ones in the area left with a party line. So there's no other party, but they still pay half price AND they show up as unlisted on caller ID - because the call could theoretically be coming from either house/number. As a matter of fact when they make a long distance call the operator has to come on and ask them for their number so they know who to charge for the call!
The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. If they put an amendment in there limiting how many times you can shake after you pee, then it's legally binding. What are they gonna do, rule it unconstitutional?

I think you could make a case that quantization effectively lowers color reproduction below 8 bpc. The higher the bitrate, the less quantization.

parent here. nevermind, they're talking about the dielectric between wires, not transistor dielectric.

To be honest I was picturing Zoidberg.
Or that, whatever. The main point being that our current scheme, (a), is absolutely idiotic.

170VDC on the capacitor, it'll give you about 120VDC!
FALSE.
what does that have to do with saying x VAC is somehow y VDC?
I have no idea what you're talking about. I said a rectifier turns 120VAC into 170VDC. Which is true.
120 VAC = 120 VAC RMS. The peak voltage may be 170 volts, which would make Vp-p 340 volts.
Right, meant Vp not Vp-p
The appropriate replacement would be 120 VDC, not 170 VDC.
That would undervolt SMPS devices, which are what I was referring to as "modern electronics"
Yeah, I threw out all my rechargeable batteries because they have exactly the same problem!

[3] I've tried it.
Of course, the first thing you have to do is take it apart and make sure it's a SMPS and not a traditional 60Hz transformer.
you're confused, the 120VAC means the same power is delivered as 120V DC.
Through a resistor, yes. But not through a DC rectifier. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply
Most (but surely not all) modern electronics work just fine on 170 VDC, including computers and CFL lamps. (120VAC = 170Vp-p)
Great. Or:
1. Make development easy
2. Deny publication rights for games that suck
3. ???
4. Profit!
The most secure computer in the world is one not connected to the internet.

Clearly Motorola is either (a) being careful to comply fully with the USB spec, or (b) being dicks.
I would say there's about a 50/50 chance of each.
I was in the Verizon store the other day. Looks like most/all the new phones are USB. My LG env2 syncs and/or charges with a $3 generic cable.
