The support for PCIe cards is very limited on that board. I've spent too much time trying to get a disk controller to work, and I'm not alone. I ended up buying old server boards with low power xeon processors to accomplish my goa

Whether digital or analogue, it can take a great deal of work to make a print from a negative. Ansel Adams work was largely made in the darkroom process, manipulating the image heavily - and he was fantastic at it.

Having gone though Epictetus's Enchiridion several times, it's certainly something you have to pick through. There is a balance between emotions and objectivity that is lost in stoicism.

Dragonfly BSD is a "logical" continuation of FreeBSD 4.x. FreeBSD changed how it handles SMP in 5.x, while Dragonfly seems to be geared towards kernel level clustering.

The projects have branched over feature politics. FreeBSD is by far the most popular and advanced, NetBSD is very clean and easily ported. OpenBSD was a later fork that emphasises security, and omits binary "blobs". Generally code is exchan

Everything I've read has said that OS X featured parts of FreeBSD, never heard of NetBSD being used. (Yes, they are sibling projects and probably share more code than I'm aware.)

Not only the DRM restrictions, but that they limited manufacturing licenses to other companies. MinkDiscs are the perfect size and a little more durable (scratch resistent) imo. It's a shame CD's won out.

This is a very poor way to compare operating systems. Each has different optimizations by default. That, and many many other factors make this a terrible project. It's unfortunate that so much work was put into testing so few things when ma

I recall a friend who advocated "tabs" with IE6. He seriously used it that way, too.

Microsoft recently patched that so it's no longer the default action.

Why is it so hard for some people to grasp that Anonymous are just what they claim to be - everyone and yet no one person? There is no roster, no voting, but they are still organized. Maybe one could call it a mob mentality?

I wouldn't think so - it should be more difficult to interface with a email service like than than to use their own server software.

Exactly. And as has been said and cited before, those who have cracked versions may never use them, or very well may never have bought it to begin with (a user is not by default a client - but they have the potential to become one). Congres

"Such a system, if fully operational, could direct substantial -- and deadly -- firepower." That's the purpose of a gun, right? These reporters really get some people "all into a tizzy" over rather bland headlines. It'd be nice if they rep

A fair collection of (DJ) mixes (live or not) and sets can easily account for a few hundred gigabytes. Take Tiesto's "Club Life" and Armin Van Buurin's "A State of Trance" for example. With each set being around two hours or more of high qu

So far this seems to be the consensus of the comments here: Google is doing this legally (as are other companies), and that the article is misleading. Sure, it says that it's legal, but then it turns around and sympathizes for the US govern

One can hope so. It's really dependent on how the DMCA is interpreted. I was wondering where this legal action was when I heard about the exploits. Shame on Congress for passing the DMCA to begin with. This exploit only furthers cryptograph

There is probably a logical reason to the design and nomenclature of the system. Unfortunately, these things seem to get lost over time. I imagine that in another twenty to thirty years a portion of our current technology will be considered

Beautiful. An operating with one of the lowest bugs-per-line count just got better. Still behind FreeBSD, though ;D (What's a little razzing between sibling projects?)

Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems really pointless. What would be wrong with friends browsing your content when your not around? As if you knew they were accessing your profile and what-not anyways. The only way I could see this a

It obviously worked out fine. IBM isn't catering towards the consumer market with the POWER line.

This is sort of cool. But, on second thought, and regardless if normal operation temperatures are safe with a paper case - I dread the thought of a abnormal occurrence with any one component shorting out. That could cause a fire, and for th

When did the MPAA or RIAA become a law enforcement agency? Also, who's lobbying/(bribing) senators to make laws?
