there are piles of filehosts at the moment, rapidshare and megaupload pop straight into mind
one of the best for last 9 months is MiHD simply because there is no waiting and popunders not to mention 500MB upload limit and resumable downloads
as someone who worked in the energy generating business i hope fusion comes sooner rather than later!
the price of oil and gas are going thru the roof, and these two fuels are what keeping the base load plants running here in ireland (and most of the rest of the world with notable exception of france)
theres alot of buzz around wind power nowadays but alot of people dont realise that with average 20% availability (compared to 80-90% of base plants) wind power
just doesnt cut it, and u need to have for every MW generated a backup fossil fuel generator (or pump water storage system) waiting and being ready in case the wind quite literally stops blowing
nuclear fission plants will never be built here either (the greens are quite good at scaremongering)
i made a choice 2 years ago, and now im laughing at the whole next-gen dvd fiasco
1. dump/put up the attic my VHS tapes
2. not to buy expensive EUR20 a pop DVD's
3. Rent and Rip (recently i jumped onto Nero MPEG4 where i can have mp4 video thats capable of being encoded up to HD resolutions, multiple dolby digital soundtracks,subtitles )
4. Store on my harddrives (over 2TB of content now)
5. connect my pc to my HD projector
STICK A MIDDLE FINGER UP TO MPAA and CO
P.S usenet and bittorent helped as well;)
by 2009 ill download so much stuff of Usenet at the rate im going that i wouldnt need Digital tele
anyways the idea of sony rootkits flowing down and installing themselves on my tele doesnt appeal to me
these lads are not he marketing types they are software engineers, u can see it by
the way they communicate.
the memory management and the hardware error catchin sounded good,
so indirectly they trying to tell us that they working on showing meaningfull error messages not the dreaded blue screen that i still get due to bad third party drivers on my laptop
actually one is Suse 9.1 the other is Fedora Core 3 (i promised to myself never to use Red Hat again)
and yes i found yum to be quite usefull on fedora while yast is ok for suse
unfortunately the datacenter/server provider does not offer gentoo
my friend recomended FreeBSD and that will be next in line ill play around with
all i wanted was to express my opinion that most people out there use pc's for work and leisure NOT spending days trawling thru help usegroups and installing rpms or trying to get their printers working, also linux world is spending too much time trying to catch up with OSX/Windows instead of releasing any Killer apps or anything thats stands out (hmmm now that i think of it Apache and PHP are exeptions! i love both)

"LINUX HAS A BIGGER C***K than every other OS out there" thread??
