I don't know what country your from but in most countries you can be arrested for trespassing.

Your comparing psychology, a field known to have an exceptionally high confirmation bias to proper medical fields where diagnosis can be proven by more than "he's acting funny". Your ignorant if you think that people treat each other equally after being labeled as a loon.

We don't have those problems with MMP, the people vote for both a local representative and a party.

Did you try the compatibility mode?

Except there are no goods and nothing gets delivered, everything stays in Valves control.

They seem to believe that once you manage to oust all your critics your argument becomes true... or at least you get more $$$

When did Konqueror stop using KHTML and start using Apple Incs bastardisation of KHTML?

I think multithreading means launching multiple execution threads and it's up to the scheduler to assign each thread to a logical CPU, based on load. If you write and run a program that spawns two threads on a dual-core machine, with no other CPU-intensive software running, then you will notice that each thread is executed on a distinct CPU (core).

Wait a sec. Does any other browser provide NoScript functionality?

So, you going to port liberty over? ;) So we don't have to try and run it in Classic. And yeah, I remember you as another regular from the old PalmOS mailing list about 10 years ago

Liberty was written in 68k assembler :) we ported it to MIPS for a contract job. but no; gameboy emulation; plenty of other options available out there.. but i do intend to bring some of my other palm os games up-to-date :P

We finally found one! The system works!

1) open System Preferences
2) open Displays Pref
3) choose Rotation 90 degrees
4) confirm
5) physically rotate monitor to match

I've seen people use monitors like this. Even though LCDs aren't "supposed" to be used this way, it is usable for some.

Memtest would catch the errors that occur on it's watch (if the same error were to happen on non-ecc, and therefore not be corrected by the hardware before memtest even sees it).. However, memtest does not detect the errors that happen when it's not running, which should be the point of of ECC, think of it as an always on memtest that keeps your pc going even in the face of failures.

What I see here that I find odd, however, is that Google (and presumably other large data centre's) were operating under the presumption that memory errors are just normal and to keep on going so long as the ECC was able to correct them. That's what I find hard for my small system mindset to comprehend. In my world, when hardware looks like it's unreliable, I schedule a replacement.

I know it's unfashionable to say this... if company A & B both wrote a trading platform, to the same requirements and with the same underlying software you can bet your boots that one would still be much faster than the either. The point being that the implementation language isn't as important as how the system was designed, architected and implemented. People are proclaiming that Linux is faster than .NET when its more accurate to say MilleniumIT is faster than TradElect, or so they say.

Why this should be is not at all clear, but .NET is probably not the root cause. Chances are in fact that any Linux/Solaris solution would be mostly coded in Java anyway which suffers similar runtime overheads. The hardware it runs on, the network topology, how messages are passed around, dedicated switches, the database, the scalability or lack thereof in the code and countless other factors are far more significant than the underlying language.

One clear advantage of going the Linux / Unix route is that licencing is a lot cheaper and there are probably a lot more hardware options to consider too.
