However, recording people's notes is indefensible. That stuff is private information, users have an expectation of being sensitive.
Yeah, the thing is that they simply aren't doing that. What's happened is that Slashdot's cocksmoking retard editors lied to you in order to make you want to write your comment and view some more ads. How much time did you waste out of your day writing about this? Estimate how much time has been wasted in total because people have been bullshitted by Slashdot's COCKSMOKING RETARD EDITORS? Many lifetimes worth. So, congratulations Slashdot editors - your lives have actually made a net negative contribution to humanity through deliberate timewasting. You know if you commit suicide now, it won't get any worse. It's the honourable thing to do.
When it doesn't open all its windows on the desktop (of course now all the linux zealots are going to tell me its the OS' fault not the program - no guys, fix it or stop bugging me about trying it)
Now be honest - does anyone really care if you use it? Are your "guys" really bugging you about it all the time? The answer is "No" isn't it? Nobody cares what software you use. Nobody cares about you at all. You're getting angry about free software for fuck's sake. If someone got angry about being given free stuff in real life, you would think they were insane. So are you now going to claim that you are a popular and well adjusted person? And that these "guys" of yours really exist? Pull the other one, freakshow.
Oh you want native resolution fine but you will need to give up GNOME, Unless you want to install it via TAR Balls
Dude, nobody is calling you an idiot. They're all reading that sentence and calling you a cocksucker because you have clearly never used Linux and just assembled some random sentence fragments.
"I fucking hate chinks and slants" Steve Jobs, 2007.
I know you lot see him as some kind of messiah, but when he can get away with saying this kind of shit in public with barely a comment, I'd say the word "Fuhrer" might be more appropriate.
And no I'm not going to fucking cite it for you, you can find it easily enough yourselves. If Safari doesn't crash on you first.
The av companies can detect every one of these every time they pop up, there's no "trying to keep up" with this.
LOL, you actually said this. Sorry for any reputation you may have built up - this comment's staying here for all eternitity. You may as well give up now. You've blown it, sorry.
This reminds me of the old story about NASA and the million dollar investment into pens that could write in a weightless environment while the soviets just used pencils.
Ha ha, yes. And what's even funnier is that Americans still swallow that story whole and never stop to think about what the effect of graphite dust would be in a space ship. I don't know, is it poor science education that leads to you not knowing how conductive graphite is, or is it just a complete lack of crititcal thinking ability?
This was already possible with Marathon Technology's proprietary hypervisor on x86, but is now possible with Xen.
It was also possible with VMware's FT technology and I bet it's significantly easier to configure than whatever just got hacked into Xen.
Maybe there are advantages to Xen's approach? Maybe it supports vSMP? I would have been more interested in hearing about that, than a plug for your book.
Solaris and OpenSolaris are full of things that geeks, Windows and *nix, would love to see in their OS of choice but Sun invented first. ZFS, Dtrace, and dozens of other features
Can you name just five more of these things? Two real examples followed by some handwaving about dozens of others doesn't really convince, especially when everyone knows those are the only two interesting things about Solaris.
Not only more maintainable, but filesystems should use 4k per sector, specially on raid's for performance stuff discussed on this post. This means that in a decently configured modern system, anything under 4k will still occupy 4k on disk.
Since you don't understand filesystem basics, I would recommend that you refrain from commenting on articles about sophisticated assembly optimisations. Seriously, it's unlikely to go well for you, as we have just seen in rather spectacular fashion.
Gamers are some of the biggest mindless consumers there are right after the Apple fanatics:)
Some people have paid good money for Ayn Rand books, so it's hardly fair to single out gamers and Apple fanatics as mindless consumers. I mean, fucking hell, we're talking orders of magnitude here people.
Don't forget the megabyte-sized cache. The most important optimization nowadays, is to make your program parts fit into cache as a whole, since RAM access is extremely slow in comparison. So all you gotta do, is do the same with your malware, but keep it in there when deleted from RAM.
Yes, it's the "keep it in there when deleted from RAM" bit where it all falls down, since you can't actually do that. You don't get direct control over cache. It's not just a little bit of extra fast storage for you to use how you see fit.
And then there are the typical responses about how the evil Republicans were trying to prevent these treatments just to save a few embryos, which of course are completely irrelevant because no embryos are involved in these treatments and Republicans, to my knowledge, are not opposed to research in adult stem cell treatments.
LOL, you think the average Republican would be willing or able to understand the difference? No. The top few percent of Republican intellectuals would be able to understand it, but why should they be willing to understand it when failing to do so lets them rant about liberal baby killers? You talk about them like they're rational people, for God's sake.
Itanium is EPIC, not CISC. It is the exact opposite of RISC. It may not be running circles around x86, but that may be due to compilers not yet being advanced enough to take full advantage of the architecture. We may still see this change in the future.
Have you been in suspended animation for the last 10 years or are you just real fucking dumb? Do you even really know what a fucking compiler is? If you did, you would know that a compiler that advanced will appear at about the same time as better than human AI.
Why are they are still announcing hyperthreading? It was established long-ago that it had no benefit. It's been off on any machines I've ever purchased.
Oh God, thank you so much for doing this.
You have given me the confidence to stand up in front of the entire World and scream "I too am a dumb fucking faggot!".
...That's pretty much what ALL of you so-called Slashdotters do. Belittle anyone who doesn't agree with you ("you, sir, are an idiot, anybody who does X is an idiot", etc). I also see that so-called Slashdotters have a tendency to assume that anybody who doesn't have in-depth knowledge about the topics discussed is also an idot.
A bunch of armchair experts, who supposedly know everything from world politics to enterprise-level corporate management, but still SOMEHOW find the time through all of their corporate, financial and world-wide political success to post asinine comments on/.
Hence, the topic of my post.
And, who gives a fuck that I'm anon; stop waving your pseudonyms around, or leaving some silly signature as if your real name has any bearing on the validity of your posts.
I guess big oil, energy and coal companies are already in talks about take-over on the new startup. Just to prevent it from ever entering the market.
Nope, turns out it's just not that good and the Slashdot summary was totally inaccurate. Do you now feel stupid for suggesting that a huge nebulous conspiracy would suppress this? Of course you don't - you're a fucking retard.
There's not really much else to say about it, although I do feel quite strongly that you should suck my cock at gunpoint at some point in the future, if that kind of scenario could somehow be arranged. Obviously this is more of an aspiration than a concrete plan. I just wanted you to know about it.
The people involved in the tea-bagging movement (I know they changed their name once they realised, tough shit) are objectively scum. So it's fine for the article to be negative. Also it helps to increase their paranoia regarding left-wing media conspiracies, and will hopefully bring forward the day when they really do take up arms and subsequently get murdered en-mass by the police & military, which is the optimum outcome in this case.
What I'm really trying to say is that you sound like another whiny republican/libertarian who is "just asking questions" and I hope you die of something horrible at the first possible opportunity.
I've run into this as well with Dell 740 computers with built in (4 in 1) card readers. Our network drive letters start with J: and they sometimes cause problems when they stick a couple sandisk usb drives in.
Why you ask?....Hmmmm let me think about that..... thinking.... Oh that's right this is slashdot! In the first place I didn't read the story in it's entirety, I was responding to fellow slashdotters including yourself;) And why is it when someone posts a text disagreeing with the so-called 'facts' in weather trends(which look more like a giant work of hyperbole) they get deemed a provider deceptions? Was it because I said something about the honorable MR Albert Arnold Gore that you thought wasn't accurate??? Talk about a provider of deceptions...'an inconvenient truth' yeah right,what a crock... more like 'a convenient canard' has a better ring to it anyways;)
And remember this is slashdot;) Have fun!!!
You are either 12 years old, or your brain is broken. Either way, fuck off.
I'm a little bit afraid of the person who thought Bioshock was "believable".
They're the same people that find Ayn Rand and Ron Paul believable, and I think you'll find you should be mildly fearful (because they probably own guns), but also very sympathetic (because they definitely have Aspergers). Amusement is also fine, as long as you're only interacting with their damaged little souls on the Internet.

Especially with XP, the last version of Windows that allows you to nuke absolutely every service, disabling help is one of the first things I do.
If it allows you to nuke every service, please do so to RPC, DCOM & LSASS. Come back and let us know how it went.
I guess the dd utility is not enough for your needs, otherwise you would have already tried it.
Right?
