  1. Re:Keep a spare blank drive around on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Manage Your Personal Data? · · Score: 5, Informative

  2. Re:What the summary fails to mention... on T-Mobile Joins the Capped Data Bandwagon · · Score: 2

    From what I've noticed when I use more than 5 gigs, I do get "throttled", but not by much. I still have sufficient bandwidth to steam netflix in high def when setting my phone as a wifi hot spot.

  3. Re:myth on Ask Slashdot: Are You Streaming-Only For Home Entertainment? · · Score: 1

    I use a MythTV box, no cable subscription, but netflix and hulu. But since Netflix streaming uses Silverlight and isn't supported on Linux, I get snail-mail DVDs from netflix, which I don't mind so much.

    IT's also a spiffy media server. My entire DVD and CD collection is burned to it and available for playback anywhere in the house.

    So in spite of a few drawbacks, it isn't overall a bad solution.

    Moonlight?

  5. Re:I'll still blame you for everything else. on Microsoft Blames Add-Ons For Browser Woes · · Score: 1

    And assuming you're an FF advocate, remember it didnt pass Acid2 until FF3.

    Acid2 is useless for determining if your browser is standard compliant. Acid2 was designed to determine if your browser would display "non-standard compliant" content logically, or in an understandable format.

  6. Re:RAM-based hard drive on How Big Should My Swap Partition Be? · · Score: 1

    Except when seizing computers it's now proper procedure to remove the wall socket and attach a battery backup, before snipping the wires on the mains. Your machine never goes down! o.O

  7. Re:Multiwave on Which Vendors Do You Trust For PC Parts? · · Score: 1

    A very popular MMORPG (World of Warcraft) has supported multicore/multi-CPU for a while now (patch 1.9) and recently added support for multi-GPU setups (CrossFire, SLI, MultiGPU cards).

  8. Re:Business Class Line on How Does Your ISP Handle Top-Usage Customers? · · Score: 1

    The only problem with getting a business class line with Comcast is justifying the $250/mo (Huntsville, AL) for working cable internet.

  9. Just disable the tool on Microsoft Genuine Advantage Cracked in 24 Hours · · Score: 3, Informative
