    Heh; back when I was working cashier at a gas station, I used to crack up the Mexican cleaning lady by referring to the feather-duster as Meester Foofy. :)

    Just a random thought.

    My question is, Are you going to allow popular programs that have not been written securely to run on Vista by means of a "hack" or "tweak"?

    What are you doing to prevent buffer overflow and similar attacks in the future?

  22. Re:Is web surfing the only application? on Does Faster Broadband Matter? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    One thing you absolutely cannot replace in your life, is TIME.

    When I was on DSL, I was getting 150KB/sec, and I thought "This is the *shiznit.*"
    Took about 1 1/2 hours to DL a 700MB ISO.

    Now I'm on Cable, getting up to 600-700KB/sec, and the same ISO takes only ~1/2 hour to DL.

    When it's done downloading I fire it up in Vmware and have **more time** to play with it.

    My brother can be playing Xbox online while I'm seeding or DL'ing BitTorrent files, because he has more bandwidth to play with.

    So yes, Faster is Better.

  23. Re:Speed on A Look at Data Compression · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yah, when I'm running backups and it has to Get Done in a reasonable amount of time with decent space savings, I use
    gzip -9. (My fastest computer is 900MHz AMD Duron.)

    For quick backups, gzip; or gzip -6.

    For REALLY quick stuff, gzip -1.

    When I want the most space saved, I (rarely) use bzip2 because rar, while useful for splitting files and retaining recovery metadata, is far too slow for my taste 99% of the time.

    Really, disk space is so cheap these days that Getting the Backup Done is more important than saving (on average) a few megs here and there.

    But if you Really Need that last few megs of free space, this is an OK guide to which compressor does that the best -- even if it takes *days.*
