  1. Re:Downgrade then Upgrade... sigh... on Windows 7 Licensing a "Disaster" For XP Shops · · Score: 1

    If they sell XP licenses then they can't boast about how many copies of the latest version of Windows has been sold to try and get people to hop on the bandwagon when, in fact, the majority of those purchases weren't to use the latest version at all. They have been trying to pull the same tactic with Vista to try and convince people that Vista is infinitely better than XP.

    Otherwise they can go out of business, and then where will you get your information?

    According to SimCity 2000 we get fusion in 2050. Go to the newspapers menu and turn Extra! on and the game will notify you when the scientists have created it.

    One of the draws of DDR2 is that it is currently far cheaper per GB than for regular old DDR. DDR currently costs at least 2x as much as comparable DDR2.

  5. Re:RAID-10 on Why RAID 5 Stops Working In 2009 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    With RAID 10 you still can have 2 drives fail and lose all your data. Though if you're lucky you'll have the second failure on the same side of the mirrored portion in which case you'll still have your data.

  6. Re:Advantages? on The Last DC Power Grid Shut Down in NYC · · Score: 1

    it is the other way around. the shock by dc is far more dangerous than a shock by ac because dc current will lock up your muscles making you unable to pull away from the current source. ac is very uncomfortable and you'll feel a pulsing sensation from it but it does not cause the muscle lockup since it is alternating back and forth giving you a chance to pull away.

  7. Re:Windows Product Activation? on Windows XP SP3 Build 3205 Released w/ New Features · · Score: 1

    If they're using windows I don't think they'll be worried about stability very much to begin with.

  8. Xbox Media Center on Open Source Set-Top-Box Adds YouTube Support · · Score: 1

    We've had this functionality on an "open source" platform for a long time now with Xbox Media Center (XBMC).
