Hans Reiser to Stand Trial for Wife's Murder

Submitted by Matt Perry on Friday March 09 2007, @09:20PM

Matt Perry writes "A judge has ruled that the murder trail against Hans Reiser is to go forward. Even so, the judge questioned some of the evidence against Reiser. No matter the outcome, Reiser will most likely sell his company to fund his defense (see previous Slashdot story). What might this mean for the future of ResierFS4?"

Power Management and Vista on Macbook Pro SOLUTION

TheReverandND writes "When I installed Vista on my Macbook Pro besides I encountered some issues. 1) Battery life was pathetic. 2) Vista never acknowledged that the battery was 100% charged, or when it was unplugged or the lid was shut. 3) The fans never spun up, for any reason, unless forced. This caused it to get too hot to put on my lap. 4) The CPU would never throttle frequency or voltage based in my power plan. I happy to report that the installation of 945GM chipset drivers for Vista have solved the problems. I have a write up on my blog @ Live Spaces, please bare with it I wrote it at 3am, very excited but very tired. Just remember the flickering appears to be normal, and some devices will have to have their drivers manually updated. I have been trying to spread this via the usual forums, and now I turn to Slashdot for help. This fix has given my laptop back!!! (its been effectively desk bound since my Vista install) I am thinking the use of Intels vista chipset driver may be usefull for Macbook and Mac Pro users as well."

Comment: Two Cases: Marware and Booq (Score 1) 824

I use two cases for my 15" TiBook - a Marware SportFolio Sleeve and a Booq Boa.XL. I would highly recommend both to anyone looking to get a backpack setup for a 15" PowerBook (and, if you left out the SportFolio, the Boa.XL is perfect for the 17" AlBook...)

In the past, I've used LOTS of bags; Spire makes some wonderful bags, and I used the heck out of an Endo with a previous employer.

I bought a Port bag for my TiBook when I actually cared about the "work appearance"; it's a sharp looking bag, and Port goes to great lengths with their air-suspension system. Heck, when I bought my first PowerBook, I bought the Apple-branded Port case to go with it!

I'd still recommend any of these cases, but most highly recommend Booq's bags.
