The world does not revolve around the USA, just the world economy. That is if the EU would stop dragging the US economy down with their silly antics and entire countries going bankrupt.
I have to agree. The 80's and early 90's tech support was superb compared to today. I was often able to get a completely new compiled app from the vendor within 4-6 hours of reporting an issue with them. Even calling Microsoft was easy and you were likely to actually get to talk to the coders involved with the product itself on the phone if you did your due diligence at determining the problem.
I know you have to set the gap on your spark plugs, and it can make a huge difference, so I took apart my brand new Chevy Volt looking for the spark plugs, and I think I found them but they look odd. Now I can't remember how to put the car back together, and it won't start. Can you help me?
Simply having 3389 open isn't inheritly bad. It's when you allow retarded admins who allow access to that port through the internet and use ridiculously simple passwords on accounts that are given remote login rights AND are exempt from the bad password lockouts.
Just wanted to say thanks Rob for creating a site that I've enjoyed visiting for all these years. We've not always seen eye to eye on many things, but I kept coming back for more. Definitely one of the best sites on the internet, and by far the best news site. Thanks, and I wish you well in your future endeavors, may they be even bigger and brighter (or maybe just more fun?)
Because someone has to write them (and pay for the programmers, managers, QA, etc), and then by open sourcing them, it would allow any competitor to instantly have the same platform for free. It negates any advantage the original developer/carrier has/had, which is what all carriers try to do by having something that separates them from the rest.
Odd, while I view much of what google has been pushing for as being a good thing, it definately isn't "more open". They are trying to lock down more of the UI and force a more standardized UI on users. Now they are doing this in the name of being able to ensure that the phones will be upgradable, or at least more upgradable with faster rollouts, this isn't "more open", it's locking more stuff down from the carriers.
Umm.. It's close enough. Moores laws states that you can place twice the number of transistors in the same space every 2 years. This is roughly the same as twice the speed every two years, and it would be assuming you are just adding more cores and producing the same die size.
Mine? It's slow, it stutters, it often loses the guide information for days to a week at a time. Often the DVR will say it's recording something, but it goes under "Not available" since the guide info is missing. Sometimes it'll miss a show too. The guide is in SD format. It can't stream things from my home network, and doesn't support AirPlay. It can't stream things from netflix or hulu. It can't browse the internet, nor are there any "apps" for it. The USB/Sata port is disabled so I can't just attach a big hard drive to it. It won't allow me to place shift even within my own house.
Lol, and you pick Opera as a company you want to use because Apple went to the courts instead of trying to compete? ROFL. Such a short memory you have.
RIFT is actually pretty boring. It wasn't difficult and didn't take long to complete a full set of the best armor/weapons in the entire game. Equipment choices were also pretty poor, bland, and unimaginative. WoW at least usually gave you a number of different routes to choose from in that regard. Dishing out relics like they were candy was a pretty poor design choice as well. You know it's silly when relics start rotting.
When you first start your machine, dropbox has to index all the files on your mirror. I assume it's doing an internal hash (of all 50GB worth of files), and then once it's complete, it then compares those hashes to the values on the server, so yes, it is very local I/O intensive.
Would a Youtube video showing a realtime throughput be enough proof?
I hit it all the time on both my home machine and work machine. Copying large files (video), doing subversion updates, or dropbox scans/indexes, rebooting, etc etc
Haven't had a single desktop (or server for that matter) die from having swap on it's SSD yet, but then again I buy decent SSD's too. The whole wearing out the SSD thing is kinda overrated for most cases.

Such as? I can remove whatever I want.

But those with a 36 (like me) could.
Obviously he's trying to make a three-some.

Then we don't need one specifically for moronic behavior involving cell phones, do we?
Banning children in cars would seriously make the road safer. You could then remove all the soccer moms, SUVs, etc from the road too.
Where can I get an upgrade to my wife every 6-8 weeks?
Not that hard. Mine doesn't support it -- Canon Pixma MP970.
Here's some hard numbers of typical things I do:
Running Videoscripts Metadata Batcher to retag some videos: 166MB/s
Copying video files from my C: to B: drive: 170-220MB/s
Both of these would exceed the 100MB/s ATA link mentioned, and NEITHER of these are using my SSDs which are many times faster.
When you first start your machine, dropbox has to index all the files on your mirror. I assume it's doing an internal hash (of all 50GB worth of files), and then once it's complete, it then compares those hashes to the values on the server, so yes, it is very local I/O intensive.

That really made me LOL.
I think more people would notice than you think. A single hard drive from ~5 years ago could easily saturate that 100MB/sec ATA connection.
