  1. Re:Can we wait until they release? on Is Ubuntu Getting Slower? · · Score: 1

    The release candidate, by definition, is unfinished.

    Silly me, thinking release candidate, by definition, meant that it was thought of as ready for release.

  2. Soon to be slashdotted on The Technology Behind the NBA Finals · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Off-topic, but I find it kinda amazing that a relatively big site like this manages to embed five 2MB~ish sized images into the article.

    I'm predicting a soon-to-come slashdot effect, and when it does, coral cache could come in handy...

    And who will see that cost again?

  4. Re:HD Ready on Vista Branding Confusing Even To Microsoft · · Score: 1

    More like: "HD Ready", as in not "Full HD"

    Also, saying it is ready to show HD media does not imply it can receive your country's digital signals (of which there are several types). It's like saying your pc monitor sucks because you need a pc as well (cue for iMac uses to stfu).

    Forgive me for this but..

    Haven't Apple always look for the next killer app?

    Dunno if he meant it sarcastic or what, but that needed to be said :D

    Bah.. I just checked out ThinkGeek, and [b]still[/b] no 1:12 working model of a Stargate..

    I mean, what's the use of this technology if they're not putting it to good use :P

  10. Re:If it won't work with what you need... on Software Missing From Vista's "Official Apps" · · Score: 1

    mod parent up!

    It's not like Microsoft is saying that the programs not listed won't work. I've personally been using most of the programs listed in the article (or summary even) on Vista, without having the slightest problem.

    And I now see that I misread your question..

    The point is still valid though

  14. Re:Still asking questions? Ok here are MY suggesti on Install Vista Upgrade Without Preexisting XP · · Score: 3, Informative

    By the way, does Vista dump if you change your motherboard like XP does because of the IDE drivers only being changeable during an install?
    Earlier today I read on a Norwegian tech site that vista is counting points for different hardware changes, and then, when it reaches 25, you will be booted and need to reactivate. This will be possible on the full retail version, but not the OEM version. (Dunno about upgrade)

    Translation may be a bit off, didn't understand a few of the details

    • CD-ROM/CD-RW/DVD-ROM (1 point)
    • IDE adapter (3 point)
    • Physical operating system-hard disk - new hard disk S/N (11 points)
    • Graphics card (1 point)
    • SCSI adapter (2 points)
    • Sound card (2 points)
    • NIC - new MAC address (2 points)
    • Processor - CPU (3 points)
    • RAM (0->512MB, 512MB->1GB, 2GB->4GB, etc) (1 point)
    • BIOS (bios ID) (not bios upgrade) (9 points)
    For those of you interested (or Norwegian), the blog article is here
  15. Mod parent up on Windows Home Server Details · · Score: 1

    I know it sounds weird guys, but he's true...

    Seeing as most of the computers in a regular household is Windows based, a WHS would be able to provide the clients with a (probably) more transparent and user friendly way of setting the "digital home" up.

    I've used metric all my life, and trust me on this, that doesn't sound impressive ;)
