I'm not sure if this method can be recommended. At least for me it has always been very slow (maybe 10MB/s), I still wonder why. It seems that the disk keeps seeking all the time (not going track-by-track). DBAN does it right. I've been trying tweaking the dd parameters (such as adding bs=512), but no bonus.
Also to me it still sounds like you're levelling something external, ie your computer. Levelling your knowledge very, very slightly too, but it's nothing compared to the levelling you'd feel if ate more healthily and did a bit of regular exercise (even just going for a decent walk a few times a week will make you feel much fitter).
That, and along just tweaking some megahertz number (and cooling systems), having a wider electronics or programming hobby is a more rich way to level up someone's skills.
For me, It's fun and I could care less what some dude did with liquid nitrogen.
About this post, it's hard to determine whether this should be "could care less" or the classic "couldn't care less".:)
You could be interested about liquid nitrogen as you are an overclocker or, you're not as you don't want to go to such an advanced level it just being a fun hobby.
Safari would seem to not handle the iframe exception, whereas IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera DO? If this were a true windows exploit I would expect it to occur regardless of the browser.
Why do you think so? The browsers have different iframe code. Safari just happens to have code which in turn trips a Windows exploit. Ultimately the bug is not browser-related at all.
(Still, Safari could do a better job validating the input values, so there's kind of another bug.)
The "buy replica xyz" crap is actually a spam type to arrive quite late to Slashdot. In the old days it was mostly just GNAA trolls and not much any commercial ads.
I recall that "to be more on par with other manufacturers" was one of their reasons. One could have thought that keeping longer warranties could have been an advantage for them.
Actually, I think world is full of operations where there really isn't proper redundancy or backup plan. It would simply be too complicated or expensive to make it worth it. Life works in an optimistic manner.
He also maintains a wide grin in the picture looking at fresh produce. Come to think of it, these pictures of Jong Il looking at things are a sympathetic side of him, seeing the man being interested about what's happening around the country and inspecting the quality of products.
I was talking about more fine-grained control, where I can easily fire up individual Flash applets if needed, or allow some plugin for some specific website(s) only.
The solid state drive and especially the passive cooling require so much sophistication that they are probably gonna crank up the price noticeably. On the other hand, the other items mentioned in your list should be doable fairly cheaply.
What I don't get is those laptops which don't let you replace RAM / HDD / DVD without opening half of the laptop, instead of simple hatches on the bottom!
How is it possible that the default installation of Firefox does not include a setting to disable plugins? Opera and Chrome have this nifty feature where you can start plugins individually by request.

1) Does it affect other WebKit browsers (especially Chrome) as well?
I am pondering this too.

Well, logically it accomplishes to satisfy your interest (whatever it might be).

Cause after over several months underwater, there is NO way you are gonna get a clean room facility up to snuff & speed in a matter of days.
Not days. Restoring the WD factory took about 6 weeks. It's still a bit spurious, I'll give you that.
Typical? I've seen pics of labs with relatively recent gear, including Dell flat screens and stuff.
What was his /. nym?
I thought it was obvious that he was this guy.
He also maintains a wide grin in the picture looking at fresh produce. Come to think of it, these pictures of Jong Il looking at things are a sympathetic side of him, seeing the man being interested about what's happening around the country and inspecting the quality of products.
I guess the same applies for the "640kB should be enough for anyone" quote today too, when talking about RAM.
I was talking about more fine-grained control, where I can easily fire up individual Flash applets if needed, or allow some plugin for some specific website(s) only.
Is OSX usable on such a low screen resolution?
Uhh, that's of course add-ons, not plugins, which LordLimecat was probably talking about too.
It's something that could definitely be built-in. The fancier stuff can be left for the plugins.
The netbook has always struck me as the stupidest computing idea I'd ever heard of.
I think it's one of the coolest computing things of the lately years.

First off. Never put a comma in front of and.
How about the word 'but', what are the rules?
That could be a fair explanation.
Yep, there's many netbooks with integrated 3G.
