schestowitzFurnaceBoy: they do work on itJan 09 00:31
schestowitzI could get you the link from 2 days agoJan 09 00:31
trmancowhat bloat?Jan 09 00:31
schestowitzIn fact, FF gets delayed cause they might work on thisJan 09 00:31

trmancoRAM?Jan 09 00:31
trmancoLOLJan 09 00:31
schestowitzI Agree that Firefox still caches too muchJan 09 00:31
schestowitzI'd rather it dumped the cache moreJan 09 00:32
schestowitzI tried about:configJan 09 00:32
trmancotry a real heavy app, like waveJan 09 00:32

schestowitzI changed the settings to 256MB in FF 3.0 and it didn't take itJan 09 00:32
schestowitzChromium is not a Web browserJan 09 00:33
trmancoif you leave it on for about 1 week, it's gonna hit thatJan 09 00:33
schestowitzIt's Google attempt to own the Web at an OS level tooJan 09 00:33
trmancoall browsers have their advantagesJan 09 00:34
FurnaceBoytrmanco: yes, ram, cpu. bloat, I'm afraid. i have given it a hell of a chance but for now, Opera 10 is just more effective.Jan 09 00:34
trmancothey can't be all good at everythingJan 09 00:34
trmancoopera 10 is slow (js level)Jan 09 00:34
FurnaceBoytrmanco: right, i'm not saying it's easy to fix..Jan 09 00:34
trmancobut it's darn smoothJan 09 00:34
FurnaceBoytrmanco: well, i'll take slow js if it means < 80% cpu at idle.Jan 09 00:34
trmancoscrolling and stuff like thatJan 09 00:34
FurnaceBoythe opera js engine is no slouch, though. none of them are.Jan 09 00:34

DaemonFCI tricked one of the freebie antivirus apps into installing by removing my account's ability to see what type of Windows was runningJan 09 04:43
DaemonFCthey apaprently all refuse to install on Windows Server and demand that you pony up $300Jan 09 04:43
DaemonFCit's rapetacularJan 09 04:44
oiaohmAll all bar one of the free ones is only licence for home use.  Only one that you can put on servers does not have real time scanning on windows.  DaemonFCJan 09 04:47
DaemonFCClamWinJan 09 04:47
DaemonFCyeah, they probably figure that if you can pay $800 for Windows Server, you can pay a lot of money for an antivirus program tooJan 09 04:48
DaemonFCso they introduce some bogus checks for Windows Server before they allow their cheaper products to installJan 09 04:48
oiaohmNot exactly bogus.Jan 09 04:49
oiaohmMost people running servers run central management antivirus.Jan 09 04:49

DaemonFCI suppose there's not many advantages over Windows 7 if this is all you use it forJan 09 04:51
oiaohm2008 server does make a nice stable game machine.Jan 09 04:52
DaemonFCthe first thing I did to it was destroy it with Comodo Internet SecurityJan 09 04:52
DaemonFCI ended up having to reinstall and call the Product Activation hotline to get it activated againJan 09 04:53
DaemonFCapparently Comodo isn't compatible with Server 2008 R2Jan 09 04:55

oiaohmIt firewalling trapping is not 2008 compadbile.Jan 09 04:56
oiaohmLast time I looked it not windows 7 compadible yet either.Jan 09 04:56

oiaohmIts a complete laugh.Jan 09 04:57

oiaohmIf comodo cannot interface with with it drivers it cannot uninstall.Jan 09 04:57
DaemonFCit killed Comodo but didn't fix my networkingJan 09 04:57
oiaohmyes stupid.Jan 09 04:57
oiaohmOnce damaged it damaged.Jan 09 04:57
DaemonFCso then I tried running Windows diagnostics which dicked me around some moreJan 09 04:57
DaemonFCtold me that there was a driver problem and left it at thatJan 09 04:58
oiaohmYep.Jan 09 04:58
oiaohmNow people try to tell me windows don't have problems.Jan 09 04:58
DaemonFCwell, it didn't before thatJan 09 04:58
oiaohmInstall the wrong program you end up at reinstall.Jan 09 04:58
DaemonFCa bad application is still quite capable of killing it obviouslyJan 09 04:58

cubezzzEmbedix is from 2001Jan 09 04:59
DaemonFCwell, it's just hard to shoot yourself in the foot on LinuxJan 09 04:59
oiaohmMine here is early 2000 and its been on 2 computers in that time.Jan 09 05:00
DaemonFCcause there's really no concept of having to install kernel modules for antivirus tasksJan 09 05:00
oiaohmI lost a harddrive before that other wise I would have all the way back to 1996Jan 09 05:00
cubezzzright, the limit is the hardwareJan 09 05:00

DaemonFCno dicking around with bad security applicationsJan 09 05:00
cubezzzbtw this box has been running 24/7 except when the power supply wentJan 09 05:01
cubezzzagain, the hardware is the limiting factorJan 09 05:01

cubezzzEmbedix on the zaurus might outlast everything else actuallyJan 09 05:03

DaemonFCI got Windows Server 2003 for the laptopJan 09 05:07
oiaohmDaemonFC: that is right 2008 server 32 bit support PAE allowing use of more than 4G of memory where 32 bit Windows 7 is locked to 4G of memory.Jan 09 05:08
oiaohmThere is also a connection limit on Windows 7 that 2008 does not have either.Jan 09 05:08
DaemonFCconnection to what exactly?Jan 09 05:09
cubezzzthe point is you really don't know what it's doingJan 09 05:09
DaemonFCcubezzz: I got them off of their Dreamspark websiteJan 09 05:09
oiaohmWindows networking clients.   2008 can connect to unlimited naturally.    Windows 7 since a client OS start throwing trouble at 10.   Can cause some fun running some servers on Windows 7 as well.Jan 09 05:10
cubezzzthere could be backdoors Jan 09 05:12
cubezzzthat's why I don't run a closed source osJan 09 05:12

cubezzzhow much does Windows Server cost?Jan 09 05:16
DaemonFCI think Standard is a little over $800Jan 09 05:17
DaemonFCit goes al lthe way to Enterprise which can be $1100 a licenseJan 09 05:17

DaemonFCso I had Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition on my Celeron desktop PC for yearsJan 09 05:20
DaemonFC:DJan 09 05:20
DaemonFCI guess I had a $2,500 OS on a $600 PCJan 09 05:21
DaemonFC(it came with XP Home Edition)Jan 09 05:21
oiaohmThat is the thing most people don't get.Jan 09 05:25
oiaohmLot of cases the software is way more than the hardware.  And it does not take long to get to that point with windows.Jan 09 05:26
DaemonFCyeah, right now I have a $900 OS on an $800 PCJan 09 05:27

DaemonFCsome students complaining about what happens when they work on a document at home and then OpenOffice at school messes up the formattingJan 09 05:35
oiaohmStiff.Jan 09 05:38
oiaohmOpenOffice users had to put up with correcting formating at school when MS Office rendered incorrectly.Jan 09 05:38
oiaohmHeck even if you using a different version of MS Office to school that crap can happen.Jan 09 05:39
DaemonFCyou'd think they'd be glad that they don't have to buy MS Office anymoreJan 09 05:39
oiaohmWould not matter what Office suit you had in the school there will always be a percentage complain it ate there homework.Jan 09 05:40

oiaohmThe machine ended up with 2000 2003 and 2007 office on them.  then they still complained they could not find the MS Office the knew.Jan 09 05:46

amarsh04oiaohm, besides OOo, I think that Abiword is also a worthwhile free cross-platform wordprocessor to have installedJan 09 05:47
oiaohmOOo Abiword are ok.  I would love to have Kword out of Koffice also on windows in a simple to network install form.Jan 09 05:48
oiaohmKoffice + OOo basically gives you all the most important features of MS Office enterprise.Jan 09 05:48

cubezzzdamn, it's freezing here, -11CJan 09 06:25
DaemonFCI can has AAC+ :PJan 09 06:47
DaemonFCWinamp started pushing AAC about 8 years ago, I noticed it when I copied over a folder to my MP3 player and they wouldn't play :(Jan 09 06:49
DaemonFCapparently Windows Media Player does not understand HE-AACJan 09 06:50
DaemonFCjust AAC LCJan 09 06:50
DaemonFCanother interesting thing is how Nero doesn't let you use HE-AAC above 80kbps while Winamp will let you use that profile all the way to 256kJan 09 06:52
DaemonFCevil Nazis at Nero, always trying to fuck with me :DJan 09 06:53
DaemonFCWinamp devs told me once that HE-AAC was a bonus for people that bought Winamp ProJan 09 06:57
DaemonFCI think I asked them if the bonus was that no hardware could decode them and you wouldn't know until you already ripped dozens of CDsJan 09 06:57
DaemonFCat that point I was fairly angryJan 09 06:58
DaemonFCoiaohm: Tell me what fascination companies have with making three or four incompatible codecs and giving them the same file extensionJan 09 07:01
DaemonFC:DJan 09 07:01
DaemonFCnot that they haven't tried all kinds of stupidity with MP3 (though none of it took)Jan 09 07:01
DaemonFCI think it's sadism, is why they do itJan 09 07:02
DaemonFClike how Microsoft sets Windows Media Player to encode to WMA Pro by default even though no portables can actually play itJan 09 07:03

DaemonFCMinceR: How so?Jan 09 17:14
_Goblin_I don't know much about criminal law in any country other than the UKJan 09 17:14
DaemonFCI think Muslim countries are the only ones that still have sex crimes that apply to two willing adultsJan 09 17:14
MinceR...which is megacorp-ruled, unstable, moving toward quasi-dictatorship, christian fundamentalist-dominated, with liberty for none but the richest and a justice system that maliciously targets whomever it's paid to target :>Jan 09 17:15
_Goblin_but what I will say is its all down to the society it represents.  In the UK the age of consent is 16, in some countries its less and in some its more.Jan 09 17:15

DaemonFCso don't tell me that isn't corruptionJan 09 17:18
MinceRiirc the MAFIAA made the swedish "judicial" system violate its own laws before they could get that farJan 09 17:18
DaemonFCWhat exactly is the Swedish legal framework that allowed the Pirate Bay guys to be sent to prison?Jan 09 17:19
MinceR(selecting a prejudiced "judge" not once, but twice)Jan 09 17:19
MinceRbut guess where the MAFIAA is basedJan 09 17:19
DaemonFCI don't think there was one. I think they were sentenced to a crime that doesn't exist there.Jan 09 17:19
MinceRno, not in swedenJan 09 17:19
MinceRit's based in JesuslandJan 09 17:19
DaemonFCdoesn't matterJan 09 17:19
MinceRoh yes it doesJan 09 17:19
DaemonFCthey paid, the Swedish officials took itJan 09 17:19
MinceRit's part of why you shouldn't be smug about the USAJan 09 17:19
DaemonFCdoesn't matter where the bribe money came fromJan 09 17:20
DaemonFCthe fact that Swedish officials are taking bribes is the pointJan 09 17:20
MinceRthat's the "freedom" and "liberty" you exportJan 09 17:20
MinceRthat's only part of the pointJan 09 17:20
DaemonFCif you want to tell me Sweden isn't corrupt, they should stop taking bribesJan 09 17:20
MinceRin corruption, both parties are guiltyJan 09 17:20
DaemonFCthere can't be liberty and freedom while elected officials are openly taking bribes to make up the law as they goJan 09 17:20
DaemonFCwhich is what's going on in SwedenJan 09 17:21
MinceRand they'll keep openly taking bribes as long as you keep making it so profitable and acceptableJan 09 17:21
DaemonFCMinceR: So if a British company bribed Sweden, and Sweden took it?Jan 09 17:21
DaemonFCSweden still isn't corrupt?Jan 09 17:21
DaemonFCWhat about a Chinese company bribing them?Jan 09 17:22
DaemonFCthey like to get all high and mighty about their human rights recordJan 09 17:22
MinceRwhere did i say sweden wasn't corrupt?Jan 09 17:22
DaemonFCtaking foreign bribes to convict your citizens of crimes that don't exist should be enough to throw those claims outJan 09 17:22
MinceRyou fail reading comprehensionJan 09 17:23
MinceRwhich is kind of sad considering it's your native languageJan 09 17:23
DaemonFCMinceR: And where is it a crime in the US to bribe a foreign official?Jan 09 17:23
MinceRprobably it isn't, after all it would get in the way of your being so corruptJan 09 17:23
DaemonFCthe bribe money did not come from our government, it came from a corporationJan 09 17:23
MinceRi see your point. if it's legal, it must be ethicalJan 09 17:24
MinceRthat's an important part of jesuslandian dogmaJan 09 17:24
MinceRm$ uses it all the timeJan 09 17:24
DaemonFCno, I'd say that Sweden is the one with the problemJan 09 17:24
DaemonFCthey should purge and prosecute every government official that had any part in thatJan 09 17:24
MinceRyes, jesusland is perfect, and everyone else must changeJan 09 17:24
MinceRpreferably to be like jesuslandJan 09 17:25
DaemonFCthey're not, so it will send the message that it can happen againJan 09 17:25

MinceRyou're sending the same messageJan 09 17:25
MinceRbut somehow it's only their faultJan 09 17:25
DaemonFCso why are people in Sweden bitching? Are they powerless to change their government?Jan 09 17:25
MinceRthey might well beJan 09 17:25
DaemonFC\Is the United States stopping them from electing 100% pirate party candidates?Jan 09 17:26
MinceRi'm certainly powerless to change the absurdistani^Whungarian governmentJan 09 17:26
DaemonFCI'm sure US corporations can send campaign money, but that shouldn't decide the election if enough people are pissed off with what's going onJan 09 17:27
MinceRwell, campaign money matters a lot in the USA, why do you think it doesn't matter elsewhere?Jan 09 17:27
DaemonFCor is the Swedish government using their own version of Fixed News to keep people placated and misinformed?Jan 09 17:27
MinceRif they did the exact same thing as the republicans, i'm sure you'd find a way to rationalize only the swedes being guiltyJan 09 17:28
DaemonFCMinceR: There's either laws stopping billion (unit of currency) campains or there's only one party anyway?Jan 09 17:28
DaemonFC:DJan 09 17:28
DaemonFCmostly the latter Jan 09 17:28
MinceRwell, here in absurdistan we have two parties that do the exact same thing and the sheeple randomly alternate between having one of them on the governmentJan 09 17:29
MinceRand in jesusland the exact same is true, except it's been in place for longerJan 09 17:29
MinceRof course corporate control of what governments do mostly comes from jesuslandJan 09 17:30
MinceRthen there's the russians, afaikJan 09 17:30
DaemonFCMinceR: Didn't it used to be one party ruling all of "absurdistan" with all others being illegal?Jan 09 17:34
DaemonFCseems I remember something about thatJan 09 17:34
MinceRit didJan 09 17:34

DaemonFCbe happy :DJan 09 17:34
MinceRand now the first line of those gangsters is goneJan 09 17:34
MinceRthe second line forms one of the parties (successor of that one)Jan 09 17:35
MinceRand the third line forms anotherJan 09 17:35
MinceRit's an improvement at least in principleJan 09 17:35
MinceRthere are some other parties, but they don't get to do muchJan 09 17:35

MinceRthat's a fate you sought for yourselfJan 09 19:13
DaemonFCthen the system gives you another 8 sets of 8 digits to type inJan 09 19:13
DaemonFCtakes at least 10 minutes before you can get the damned thing activatedJan 09 19:13
DaemonFCMinceR: It was after I destroyed Windows with that Comodo crap (oops)Jan 09 19:13
DaemonFCand had to reinstall itJan 09 19:13
DaemonFCit told me that the key I used was only allowed to be used once, so I had to call the PA hotline and go through thatJan 09 19:14
DaemonFCthe Dreamspark serial numbers are volume license keys set to only allow one activation apparentlyJan 09 19:15
DaemonFCI've never had to actually call that number, Microsoft has client versions of Windows set up so that all you see is a bubble saying "Windows is now activating" 3 days in, no matter how many times you install itJan 09 19:16
DaemonFCactivation is like a shark that stays hidden under the water most of the time, but occasionally surfaces to claim a victim :PJan 09 19:17
DaemonFCpeople put up with it for Windows, and I kind of understand that, but why they opt to go buy more software like MS Office that puts them under the control of another activation scheme baffles meJan 09 19:18
DaemonFCthey basically double their chances that something goes wrong and they can't access their documents, especially if they used Office to DRM their own filesJan 09 19:19
DaemonFCAt least if Windows got pissed and just would not let me log in at all, I can grab my files off of it with a Linux live cdJan 09 19:20
DaemonFCif Office gets pissed, and you DRM'd your files, there's no way to ever get them backJan 09 19:20
DaemonFCI don't know why that doesn't scare people, it scares the hell out of meJan 09 19:21
MinceRbecause people are stupidJan 09 19:21

MinceRthey're stupidJan 09 19:22
MinceRalso, they probably don't know there's a better alternativeJan 09 19:22
DaemonFCMinceR: I didn't even really know what DRM was until around 6 years agoJan 09 19:23
DaemonFCI mean, I had heard the term before but never really experienced itJan 09 19:23
DaemonFCPepsi had a summer promo where your bottlecaps got you iTunes downloads, so I saved a bunch of them up an started downloading songsJan 09 19:24
DaemonFCtried to go play them in Winamp, wouldn't play, Windows Media Player, wouldn't play, VLC, wouldn't play.Jan 09 19:24
DaemonFCthen I notice the "m4p" file extension and realized I'd never heard of that oneJan 09 19:25
DaemonFCthe Pepsi promo was just a ploy to get you to download iTunes and start building up a song collection so that they could twist your arm into going out and buying their mp3 player which cost twice as much as anyone elses :PJan 09 19:26
DaemonFCso I didn't get what people thought they "bought" exactlyJan 09 19:26
DaemonFCnow if you have your old m4p collection, you can "upgrade" it to no DRM for another 89 centsJan 09 19:27
DaemonFCI was kind of amused by thatJan 09 19:27
DaemonFC*per fileJan 09 19:27
DaemonFCso these idiots that enumerated 1,000 tracks at 99 cents per, get to go essentially buy them again to remove the DRMJan 09 19:28
DaemonFCApple not only refuses to uncripple them for free, but they now sell the DRM-free stuff for $1.29 per track, a 30 cent increaseJan 09 19:29
DaemonFCevil evil evilJan 09 19:29
DaemonFCso that's why I don't own an ipodJan 09 19:29
DaemonFCI'd have to flash it with Rockbox before it was of any use to me and it still costs more than everyone elsesJan 09 19:30
MinceRanother reason not to own a hypePod is that everyone and their dog did it before crApple and they all did it betterJan 09 19:30
DaemonFCthe biggest problem with an iPod that I can see, is that if someone gifts you one, it's too slim to use as a door stopJan 09 19:30

wallc_yes?Jan 09 22:39
schestowitzThe danger, as I see it, is that of saturationJan 09 22:39
schestowitzIf Groklaw puts up _all_ the exhibit, then it spreads the smokeJan 09 22:39
schestowitzHighlights or sound bites sometimes work better, esp. if time is limited (TV show, film, impatient audience)Jan 09 22:40
wallc_but it's meant to be an archive, searchable, verified, and organized...which is an excellent thing to do.Jan 09 22:40
schestowitzComes is past and the present is also important to track. I don't know how we managed not to be distracted by the many exhibits we didJan 09 22:40

wallc_That's why it all needs to be organized.Jan 09 22:42
schestowitzIt is organised in a wayJan 09 22:42
schestowitzThe order of the PDFs is not randomJan 09 22:42
schestowitzYou can go one by one and can a sense of what topic goes whereJan 09 22:42
schestowitzEarly exhibits are IBM and OS/2Jan 09 22:42
schestowitzI hope Groklaw lays them bearJan 09 22:43
schestowitzPeople don't read archives much, they want newsJan 09 22:43
wallc_But GL is about law, and lots of lawyers read it, it's no different than setting up a public library, it doesn't mean that others can't also have the materials, but if it's in a well organized library, everyone can find the info they need...Jan 09 22:43

schestowitzwallc_: I hope you're passing some exhibits we did in BN to GLJan 09 22:45

schestowitzSo he had vested interestsJan 09 22:50
schestowitzAnd IBM stood in their way in a senseJan 09 22:51
schestowitzIt doesn't mean ODF "Sucks"Jan 09 22:51

yuhong"As the dev who implemented the support, I can state that it was neither a bug-fix nor did it require a re-write of the display engine.  Instead, it ended up being somewhere in-between the two and required what I would call ‘feature work.’ "Jan 09 23:46
neighborleeyuhong: intriguing thanks o_0Jan 09 23:46
MinceRyuhong: and that somehow proves that vista7 is a completely new version?Jan 09 23:46
yuhongNope.Jan 09 23:46
MinceRthen i have trouble interpreting your "To debunk myths about 7 being a SP and stuff like that:" lineJan 09 23:46
yuhongBut 'feature work' like this is what Windows 7 is about.Jan 09 23:47
Diablo-D37 really is a SPJan 09 23:47
yuhongNope.Jan 09 23:47
neighborleelolJan 09 23:47
neighborleeDiablo-D3: proof ?Jan 09 23:47
neighborleesorry,,,,there goes that PROOF crap againJan 09 23:47
neighborleesorry guys,,its SO evil of me ;))Jan 09 23:47
neighborlee<EG>Jan 09 23:47
yuhongIt isn't, I often ask for evidence.Jan 09 23:47
MinceRso reimplementing something so that it doesn't suck so much is beyond the scope of bugfixing now?Jan 09 23:47
ThistleWebschestowitz: you have some collection of misfits (including myself) as regulars in here lolJan 09 23:48
MinceRjust because the retards who did the code realized they had to throw large parts of it away?Jan 09 23:48
Diablo-D3theres nothing actually new in 7Jan 09 23:48
neighborleeroflJan 09 23:48
neighborleeyuhong: thank youJan 09 23:48
neighborleeyuhong: I feel the rooms IQ growingJan 09 23:48
MinceRDiablo-D3: not true, it has a new skin! (based on KDE4 screenshots, i've heard)Jan 09 23:48
yuhongIt does, and there is other feature work.Jan 09 23:48
Diablo-D3MinceR: 7 aero isnt that bad actuallyJan 09 23:48
schestowitzyuhong: Vista 7 is not an SPJan 09 23:48
Diablo-D3MinceR: I wish KDE4 was that good.Jan 09 23:48
yuhongIt isn't.Jan 09 23:48
schestowitzThey call it "Windows 7", not "Service Pack"Jan 09 23:48
schestowitzSo it's not an SPJan 09 23:48
schestowitzIt's Vista changed and rebrandedJan 09 23:49
MinceRDiablo-D3: i'm fine with KDE4 being a lot better :>Jan 09 23:49
Diablo-D3ITS A GUNDAM!Jan 09 23:49
*Diablo-D3 explodesJan 09 23:49
schestowitzLike most versionsJan 09 23:49
Diablo-D3MinceR: I cant get kde4 to look good out of the boxJan 09 23:49
MinceRDiablo-D3: then you failJan 09 23:49
MinceRprobably even at installing itJan 09 23:49
yuhongIt is Vista changed, but I would not called it a rebranded.Jan 09 23:49
schestowitzWith GNU/Linux it's differentJan 09 23:49
Diablo-D3I _can_ get 7 to look good out of the box.Jan 09 23:49
Diablo-D3MinceR: no, kde4 is terminally bothedJan 09 23:49
MinceRDiablo-D3: no, you are.Jan 09 23:49
yuhongAnd my point is about the changes.Jan 09 23:49
schestowitzA new version of Ubuntu will have new Samba, OpenSSH, GNOME......Jan 09 23:49
Diablo-D3MinceR: xfce4, otoh, can also look good out of the boxJan 09 23:49
MinceRi don't doubt thatJan 09 23:50
MinceR(not that i like xfce)Jan 09 23:50
yuhongschestowitz: And a Windows release would be similar too.Jan 09 23:50
ThistleWeball modern OS's "can" look good out of the box, that's just the visual sheen the user see'sJan 09 23:50
MinceRyeah, a new version of windows will have a new skin, new bugfixes and new bugsJan 09 23:50
schestowitzMore bugs then beforeJan 09 23:51
MinceRand maybe new ways to hide bugs that are still thereJan 09 23:51
yuhongAnd feature work.Jan 09 23:51
schestowitzSays Ryan (MVP)Jan 09 23:51
MinceR(e.g. reboot on BSOD)Jan 09 23:51
neighborleeI wish vista had been win7 YES<,,but am I willing to buy it yes..vista is too dain heavy , even after dismantling it to the point of being performance decent..windows 7 is  performance light out of the box...and UAC works much better too...do I love linux more because its foss,,OF COURSE I do.and I dont appreciate anyone claiming otherise, since ive used linux SINCE REDHAT  5.2~~Jan 09 23:51
schestowitz /then/than/Jan 09 23:51
yuhongReboot on BSoD is not new, dates back to 2k.Jan 09 23:51
Diablo-D3the largest 7 "performance fix" was just changing the timeslice length in the schedJan 09 23:51
schestowitzMany people love Brows/Orange like in UbuntuJan 09 23:51
yuhongAt least.Jan 09 23:51
MinceRyeah, UAC works so much better -- it provides even less securityJan 09 23:51
Diablo-D3it was too damned long and everyone knows itJan 09 23:51
MinceRyuhong: i didn't say reboot on BSOD was introduced in vista or vista7Jan 09 23:52
neighborleeMinceR: nonsenseJan 09 23:52
Diablo-D3its not as good as BFS+1000mhz timer, but heyJan 09 23:52
Diablo-D3for microsoft it isnt that badJan 09 23:52
schestowitzMinceR: `yes, lesssecureJan 09 23:52
neighborleeMinceR: dont use fedora much ?..win7 uac is very similar to fedoras selinux!!!!Jan 09 23:52
ThistleWebubuntu's brown / orange has gotten classier with each version, it used to be horridJan 09 23:52
