i would rather attack his conclusion, the memory... I would simply swap a stick of memory so that the XP machine has more than the Ubuntu machine... Since they are both P4s it's all DDR memory anyway...
Maybe if he's got a bunch of servers on all the time, and has electric heat, and lives in a cold climate, but it still seems high.
Maybe i missed the point, but how can you call a place where it doesn't even snow a cold climate?
Over here, we got over 2 feets of snow already and we'll have more... it's a cold day today, it's -25 celcius... but i can't really consider a place that reports a little bit of snow in the newspaper a cold climate...
Now there's gonna be a couple more people with jobs and the economy is moving because they needed to hire people and buy equipment to supply to the demand!
So having too many jobless people makes the government hire those jobless people to manage the jobless people, it's an interesting circle of joblessness ^_^
So, the other day, i thought that my girlfriend would like the present i gave her... God was i wrong...
Now they think that the attack comes from Russia... That means they're not sure about it at all, they just got a hunch that the attack is from the Russians, they don't say they got proof or anything, they just say they think it's from there...
However, suspicions of Russian involvement come at an especially delicate time because of sagging relations between Washington and Moscow and growing tension over U.S. plans to develop a missile defense system in Eastern Europe. The two governments also have traded charges of regional meddling after U.S. support for democratic elections in former Soviet states and recent Russian overtures in Latin America.
Just because the relations with the Russians aren't that good doesn't automatically mean they'll attack you in Irak...
For all we know, it could be Irakians who would attack the Americans... Well that would rather be "the Irakians defend themselves by trying to bring the American's computers down"
Is it only me or "INCOMPLETE" means "FAILS MISERABLY" in this case?
Especially when they use the grade on parental involvement and they talk about how much parents got no clue on how the game console that their child use has options for them that they had no clue it existed!
The media should stop saying that the kids are becoming violent because they play violent videogames.... They should say that the kids are playing violent videogames because parents don't care about what their kids do when they play, not even when they "virtualy murder people".
For most, a 5Mbps cable connection is much much much more than they ever will (or can) use.
Yeah... "640K ought to be enough for anybody." was also something that was very true when it was said.... But somethign changed, technology evolved, and average users are using much more than what should be enough for everybody...
I bet there was someone who could be quoted for sayingthat 56k internet was fast enough for everything you could do on the internet too...
you overstate the Windows partition step while over-simplifying the Ubuntu partition step.
How so? What I said is exactly that. On an unformatted disk you get three options, 1- use the whole disk, 2- custom partiton, and.. wait. there's only two.
I can't figure out what I mean by me over simplifying it because that's what it is, simple.
Since you didn't include an example of what you mean (no need to backup your claims, right) i'll just have to assume you don't know what you're talking about.
But then, if you're using it on an already formatted Windows PC and you want to keep one of the drives with the windows and have Ubuntu on the other hard drive, make sure that you don't have similar hard drives from the same manufacturer, cause you'll have a hell of a time finding out wich one is all your data and wich one is empty...
I personally had to experience that... two 120gigs Western Digital drives in my computer... let's just say that when the only thing that differenciate them is the serial number, you have no idea what to do... There is no way in hell i would have risked wiping out all my stuff just because i would have guessed wich one was the right one... so it took me an hour messing around to find that the one that was described as CDB was the one i wanted to format, and then i had to reinstall everything again after it wasn't recognised as a boot partition because it was the disk in "slave"
My personal experience as a Windows user installing Ubuntu for his first time was extremely stressful... not knowing for sure if i was gonna wipe all my data or not...
If you'd do that, you would have to do it after you sintalled every component... and sealing all the wires, including the ones to the power supply and case, so if some component would have to be changed, it would be a nightmare and you would basically have to remove the whole sealant or scrap the computer...
I'd suggest replicating them in every format and hardware type you can think of (and afford); also include physical prints. Make sure you label each of the digital storage forms very clearly with details of its interface and format. Every variant you include increases the odds that at least one will remain readily readable in the future.
Then, when the government asks what the bigger-than-your-house steel box is, you just tell them that it's only a container with a couple pictures, nothing special...
...and then I'd really love to see the look on their faces when they open it to find out that it's REALLY only a couple pictures!
i wouldn't dare using magnetised disks like floppies... they don't even last 10 years with my old porn on them without corruption, how would they still work after 25 years?
So in the article, they say that they expect him to hand "it" back.. does that means that the poor guy who paid 77£ to give back the computer for free?
Personally i'd charge a hefty sum to make them get back that computer, just to make them remember that he paid and he was nice enough to tell them.
meanwhile a portion of all the profits goes to AIDS work.
now, why don't you learn about what a part of something is? A part of the profits can be from a penny to all of them except a penny, meaning they just say that to get good publicity, making their company looking good and have more people choosing their product over another due to a better company image...
i got nothing against giving money to the needy... but i got a problem with people praising companies that much for the little they really do
it's been in Canada for years! My first cell phone was billed by the second with Fido http://www.fido.ca/web/Fido.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=MonthlyPlans/.... There's only one problem with that: they only do it with suscription plans, meaning that you get billed by the minute if you're using prepaid like i am now...
God know everythign, he is everywhere and sees everything... so he knows what kind of data you encripted, he knows what program you used and what the key to unlock is.... so the next time you go see a priest, you better not mention it, he might had a little talk with God about it.
Welcome to the future! what they are presenting here is a way to cool the components by transferring heat... so when it's transferring the heat away from the processor, it will take it away to dissipate it, among the heat of the compressor and everythign lse of the system... therefore having much more heat to dissipate than the normal portable computer, meaning it will probably give you second degree burns whenever you try to use it wherever you don't have a flat surface and need to use your lap instead...
So there is a law that will have the industry do what's already been done? The ERSB is already putting labels on every videogame that is legally readable by a console telling why a videogame got the rating it has... this includes violence, sex, use of drugs, ect...
The videogame consoles already had parental controls for a while, so none of the will be outlawed by the state...
So, what use is there to a law that isn't gonna be broke?

what i'm wondering is the crappy quality that a 100mb, 2hour long video file will be...

They don't sue rent-a-zilla.com ?
Seriously, what level would it need to be to be protected from kids with too much time on their hands?
While the US government relies on the fear of an enemy threat to get as little opposition from the legal system as possible...
Wait, what MS system current boots under 15 seconds?
DOS maybe?

Does that mean that we now know that females will need longer-lasting batteries for their vibrators when they will colonise Mars?
