Comment Re:Vista reserves 1 GB (Score 0) 983

I've run Vista on less than 1GB (512MB) and it ran fine. Vista used 800MBs on your system, because vista adjusts its memory usage based on how much memory is in the system. I think I had 400MBs used on the 512MB system, enough for simple IE sessions and a little quicken which is all the client required.

You also know it is responsible for love, beauty, laughter, family, good times, music, art, poetry, etc. etc. so why even post that bs? You are nothing but a misery hustler, if you believe things are really that bad than go jump off a bridge and leave the rest of us to be 'miserable.'

Why are you spouting off about things you have no understanding of? Computer chips have followed Moore's law since the inception of the Integrated Circuit, causing computational power to double every year and a half or so per cost. Because of this, next year a japanese company is planning to make a computer with the same computational power as the human brain (10 petaflops), http://blogs.sun.com/HPC/entry/japan_to_build_10_petaflop, and it is NOT 100 billion nodes with ~7000 network cards per node, not even close, you are off by so many orders of magnitude it's not even funny. How can you be so clueless and still feel compelled to spout off about something? sheesh. Anyway, every year after that computers will get 2x as fast for the money, until machines hit nanoscale with atomic precision at which point you will have suger cube shaped computers with 100 million times the power of a human brain. This has nothing to do with how many 'nodes' of computers you have on undefined process tech, etc. So please stop making up bullshit to push agendas for no logical reason.

MS has sold over 200 million copies of Vista, so you are clueless when you say old versions of windows are killing newer versions. Vista adoption is also higher than XP adoption, even when put into relative market share terms. MS also sells more Vista licenses in a month than Linux users total, just keep that in mind when you regurgitate your lame anti-windows chestnuts thinking everyone will find you cute.

id CEO Claims PC Hardware Manufacturers Love Piracy 676

arcticstoat sends a link to an interview with the CEO of id Software, Todd Hollenshead, in which he suggests that hardware manufacturers count on piracy to help drive profits, rather than doing something to prevent it. Quoting: "...I think that there's been this dirty little secret among hardware manufacturers, which is that the perception of free content — even if you're supposed to pay for it on PCs — is some sort hidden benefit that you get when you buy a PC, like a right to download music for free or a right to download pirated movies and games. ...And I think that just based on their actions...what they say is one thing, but what they do is another. When it comes into debates about whether peer-to-peer file-sharing networks that by-and-large have the vast majority, I'm talking 99 per cent of the content is illicitly trading copyrighted property, they'll come out on the side of the 1 per cent of the user doing it for legitimate benefit."

Journal Journal: Verizon FiOS 20/20 @ Home

I've spent the past couple of days playing phone tag with Verizon's tech support about their FiOS 20/20 service.

After being told that I needed to reboot my router, run their "Optimizer" (Windows only, the rest of you will have to manually adjust your MTU, etc.), and reboot my machine, it seems the holy grail of residential internet is here. 20Mbs down, 20Mbs up.
