  2. Re:Whatcouldpossiblygowrong on Hidden Cores On Phenom CPUs Can Be Unlocked · · Score: 2, Informative

    To be fair, I don't know of a better way to test, and I'd love to see a discussion of better utilities. If I tried this I'd probably do mprime and keep an eye out for MCE's in the system logs, but don't delude yourself into thinking that core is error free because you ran prime95.

    There are quite a few tools, mainly found in the overclocking communities. OCCT, Linx and Intel Overburn just to name some.

  15. Re:TOTAL FAILURE OF THE SLASHDOT MODERATION SYSTEM on Adobe Puts Free Photoshop Online · · Score: 1

    I see a general trend of discrimnation against Slashdot subscribers. I am sure sooner or later this site is going to lose revenue.
    On the other hand writing clearly "First post" instead of "fisrt p0ts" I think deserves the money.

  20. Re:I don't buy it on Why Linux Doesn't Spread - the Curse of Being Free · · Score: 1

    There was not one Linux PC in the building. Same goes for just about any other computer store. If your lucky, there might be one or two in a corner. Linux is a build-to-order option from Dell, but Joe n00b won't choose that - he'll just take what's recommended. Right now, you have to actively seek out Linux if you want it; that's perfect for techs, but no use for n00bs.

  24. Re:Whats the point? on Most Users Think They Have AntiVirus Protection, While Only Half Do · · Score: 1
    I totally agree. I personally do not use any AV for the last two years now and I had no problems by following these simple steps (I'm talking about WinXP, since there is where viruses are usually found):
    1. Enable Windows Firewall (by default on after some point).
    2. Disable autorun.
    3. Do be careful with mail attachments.
    4. Use Firefox (use NoScript/AdBlock).
    5. Update regularly.
    6. In any case backup frequently.
    Now why should I need an AV?
