  1. Re:Uh oh... on Main Toilet On ISS Craps Out · · Score: 1

    Call Wallowitz to fix it.

  2. Re:Does it matter all that much? on Embedded Linux Achieves One-Second Boot Time · · Score: 1

    Yes, it matters. Read the customer design challenges: "system needs to provide real-time data in 1sec from power-on" "can not use suspend/resume due to a very limited power budget and temperature range - no battery to backup RAM." "must be resilient to power loss at any time - to prevent data corruption"

  3. Win 3.x is an OS? on Microsoft Discontinues Windows 3.x · · Score: 1

    If I remember well Win 3.x was installing as an application over DOS 6.x? Does my memory plays a prank to me? I remember I bot my first 486 DX4 (100Mhz) with DOS 6.22 as an OS and Windows 3.11 Workgroup.

  4. Re:Memory?...what about speed? on Real-World Firefox 3 Memory Usage Leads the Field · · Score: 1

    FF3 is gorgeous, memory efficient, but as long as they don't fix the scrolling issue (scrolling a page with fixed background image) it is pretty much unusable. Link to the scrolling issue: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=675935&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

  5. Re:Effort on eBay vs. Romania's Online Scammers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I am from Romania and I can assure you that the "supply of legal workplace" is very abundant here. If you are an IT guy you can easily find work for about 3 times the medium salary in Romania. I think most of the scams that are done from Romania are done by a small group of people which specialized in this. Not only eBay, but in Romania it is kind of a national sport to scam, starting with the political class and down to the beggars in the street.

  7. Re:Old? on Faulty Chips Might Just be 'Good Enough' · · Score: 1

    Yep, I read it also some time ago.
