hahhaha...
I too have never had a problem with nvida drivers on linux.
Although on the other hand i can never get the ati proprietory drivers to work..
Well isn't that kind of his point about reaching the masses? AS Linux desktop takes off, more users are using it. Will there not be a huge amount of inexperienced people that run as root?
I can get to the desktop open firefox in about 28 seconds on Vista, from there i open teh browser isntantly.
pc linux 2007 takes 30 seconds, then there is a 2 second delay of opening firefox.
ubuntu takes 35 seconds to boot, then again another 1-2 seconds after hitting the desktop before firefox opens.
No wonder ms spreads their FUD, they have to go up against the likes of slashdot's BS.
This is a commond misconception with memory management in Vista, and is getting a bit annoying. Firstly, Vista manages memory far more efficiently that in XP.
Reported memory useage appears high, but it is actively caching programs that you commonly run. As soon as i hit the desktop in Vista, I can immediately open firefox. I have yet to see a linux distro that can accomplish this, Superfetch in Vista works very well.
Secondly, if an app requires more memory Vista will free the memory it is using for a higher priority. EG. If i see that Vista is running 700 meg of RAM, then start a VM with 1 gig of ram, total memory usesage only rises to 1300 meg of RAM. The 200 meg difference is Vista clearing its cache immediately as another program requires.
If you then close that VM vista memory usesage drops to less than 300 meg used. Vista memory management is excellent, and if you have the extra RAM it will out perform a Linux install everytime in the above test. Hitting the desktop and launching apps faster than in any linux distro ive tried. This is even with Vista loading sidebar anti virus etc, while Linux install is fresh. Both system with a few services turned off.
I am using aapt who from what you're saying obviously resell telstras service. aapt do not count your upload, which is why i have chosen them because i love bittorent.
crocop beat him with a punch that may have fractured his eye socket.
ray sefo beat him until sapp gave up
nog submitted him with and arm bar
fujita beat him via tko as well
Unless i'm downloading something or an application needs to be left running overnight or longer, I shut down both my work and home machines.
I also don't see the problem in them starting up either. Geee a minute at MAX.
Why do you leave your computers on? Why is it that you all are trying to sound cool that you leave your computers on for months at a time? I just don't get it....
You will find that species will lose a characteristic rather than gain. eg. we have gone from very hairy to very little hair. The tail bone has shrunk.
New kinds do not miraculously mutate over night. Species may lose little things over periods of thousands of years, some species travel to other climates.
while there, the range that a species can vary within their genetic makeup change. Mix these processes with others over thousands or millions of years and this is what will cause new species to evolve.
Adapting to your surroundings is making the most of what you have to survive under particular environmental factors. A dog may grow a thicker coat in colder climates but the coat won't grow as much in a hot climate. This is quite common, and is adapting
Furthermore, DNA analysis shows that the changes were passed on genetically from one generation to the next, until they were no longer needed, thus confirming that the researchers had caught evolution in the act.
Genetic changes is evolution. If a genetic change to the breed of dog happened then for example the dog would not be able to grow a thick coat.
Just wait till researchers bring back a disease that that has been laying dormant for millions of years that wipes the entire human race out..
lol, but i do think what they are doing is cool. I'm sure alot will be learned.
No matter how good linux is; Window's can't be killed.
It is just far too established, it will never go anywhere, ever.
Neither will microsoft. It's pretty simple.
