Glad to be on 'nix from now on.

AFAIK, it affects only the Windows' version (which is the same for Win9x, Win2K and WinXP, so yes it should affect Win2K). Linux and Macintoy users are unaffected.

Only QuickTime Alternative and Real Alternative.

I've just installed Ff 9.1 on my Linux box and I noticed that the mozilla crew has bundle a new and more readable font with it. Nice.

Can't see the video in the original link. "Page Not Found". Anyone has another link?

Last time I heard about Pixar was when they announced that they had decided to only use Xeon-based workstations. Pretty hilarious from a company owned by Steve Jobs.

There was a 300 Megahurtz Celeri that had 128KB of L2 cache and that's the one people usually refer to when they speak about the high overclockability of the early Celeron processors. There were only two flavors of the cacheless Celeri IIRC. One was 266MHz and the other was 300MHz. Always...

We'll need a lawyer to answer this. Don't look at me. Me and laws are two very distant things.

Thanks for the prompt answer. And hi to you too. It's good to see you back these days.

May sound stupid, but what's gmail? No time for Google.

Probably because they are intended to the uttermost cheapy boxes, those in which you can't even contemplate to put an external graphic adapter because of the targeted price point. So, unlike the KT400 and KT600-based motherboard, destinated to computers a little dearer, manufacturers have to...

The Firefox crew has repeated over and over in the past not to install a new version on top of the older one, yet people still do it... and scream when it crashes. When you install a new version of Firefox, do it in a new directory. You don't have to delete what's in your c:\Documents and...

I have found the article quite interesting. Some of the results were surprising (at least to me) and thus have lit me on the advantages and differences of new TCQ-capable and current/old TCQ-deprived SATA controllers and drives. Here's the conclusion for the impatient readers. So for my own...

What an astonishment! SR posting the evaluation of a drive the same day as it is announced. I almost kicked my jaw when it felt on the floor. News source

Ok, I confused the "was" with a "max" because of fast-reading. Nonetheless, a regular G400 is faster than a TNT 1. See these old benchmarks at anandtech for proof. It matches a TNT2 (non-Ultra), so it certainly kicks the ass of a first-gen TNT. Something else that I forgot was the absence of...

Now I doubt that very, VERY much. The G400 MAX was one of the fastest cards of its time. The main problem with it was the poor drivers that Matrox delivered at first. More optimized versions of the G400 MAX drivers were made more than a year after and then it clinched every other cards of its...

I think they were driving like freaking psychos to achieve only 29mpg on their Corolla LE. I drove more than 660 kilometers last week and I put 44 liters of fuel at the pomp afterward. That gives me an average of 35mpg with my Corolla LE. I usually drive 12mp/h above the speed limit on the...

VIA makes better chipsets for the Athlon64 than nVidia so far. The KT800 Pro and upcoming KT890 are both more stable and slightly faster (on average) than the 250Gb. Besides, there are rumors that the nForce 3 250 chipset is broken in some way and that is probably why Abit has so far...

Ah Tabarnack! I only read the part about Fedora in the first post of this thread, but I didn't follow the link. Criss d'ostie de ciboire de calice.

A good read : Linux has become too fat.

The forum is impossibly slow this evening. I real slug, a monument to the god of snails. It's unusable.

...just in case the guy passes by Brisbane :roll:

I'm also waiting for 1GB disks to become more affordable. That way, a typical Linux (major distro) or Windows installation will fit on a single media. And my mp3 collection is also wider than 700MB, more like 900MB, so I could transfer it much more easily.

If your new book ends up being too hard to understand, maybe you'll have a better luck with this one ;-)

Oh yeah, just one thing : I haven't figured out how to configure the back/forward/menu buttons on my Logitech MX700 mouse. Logitech doesn't provide drivers for Linux and I haven't found (maybe because I haven't searched) a driver letting me use the additional functionalities of my rodden under...

It's nice to see that I've once again cluttered the forum with a topic that everyone is obviously interested in.

The ride is very smooth. I've had no issue worth being written here so far in something like two or three weeks. I only use small games (like Mah Jongg) and internet, so I'm not a very demanding user. I don't mind not having access to the latest drivers for my hardware. Those provided by the...

Starts at 1999$...for the 1.8GHz model, but if you want the dual 2.5GHz G5, you'll have to let go 2999$ of your hardly-earned money. Fortunately for Apple, there's always Photoshop to use as a benchmark. Objectively speaking, a G5 offers about the same performances than an Opteron at similar...

That's my main gripe with Opera and the main reason why I never use it. Well, that and the fact that it's not free without ads.

Félicitations. Make those bodies light and sturdy and keep an eye on the competition, so that you don't fall behind.

Look here.

No love from me for Reagan. I do not care about his death, except perhaps that I'm glad no one has to pay to maintain him alive anymore since he was Alzei.

That's freaking bullshit. Tell me how many Iraqi were in the planes of September 11th and then compare it to "U.S.-friendly" Saudi Arabia's nationals. Self-defense was a poorly built-up show to lure the gullible mass into invading a country with vast naturals ressources dear to the heart and...

Actually, only the modern Canada is. Originally, Canada was the name given to what's now Québec by French explorers. Canada is a bad translation of "village" in some autochthonous language. When the French arrived here and asked when they were, the indigeous told them they were in "Canada"...

This can't be bad for AMD. First ServerWorks' chipset for AMD's Opteron is expected for this Fall, according to X-bit Labs. News source

I did, but I have an advantage. In French, we call the Indians "autochthones", so autochthonous wasn't too hard to figure out.

Anyway, I'm a full-time Fedora core 2 user since last week.

Would using Firefox under Windows prevent this flaw?

And they expect to sell us that? :rofl:

I've been plaggued with four consecutive electricity shortages from Wednesday night to yesterday and since Thursday, I've decided not to reboot my computers until I can get a reliable current supply again. Hydro-Q. is supposedly doing maintenance on the network in my neighborhood, but they've...

:rofl: It must be funny to live in a bubble. Sure it will be stable and blablabla. I hope you'll believe it hard enough to spend your summer vacation there in two years.

The reads speed sucks. This seems to be more a card for a workstation where you'll often write to the disk rather than a card designed for servers, where the reads happen a lot more often than the writes.

I was under the impression that they were smaller. Significantly smaller. But I admit I don't remember exactly what size are the microdrives.

Religion is viewed as right by the idiots, wrong by the wises and useful by the rulers. ...or something like that. Ever noticed how G.W. Bush always uses "God" to justify his abuses? And regarding our own little Stereodude, well... I've never voted for the Liberals in my country, but reading...

These drives have the potential to seriously threaten USB flash drives IMO. News source

I thought about the lifespan factor, but I figure that Samsung won't ship a display without a reasonable design life.

I missed that previously, but... Using a weapon efficiently requires skills. Aim, shoot and kill is only for good guys in movies. Common people, especially those with a "victim" mentality, are just as likely to hurt someone just walking by than their agressor under a stressful situation...
