Kernel Bug Means Linux Power Usage Remains High 179

An anonymous reader writes "The significant Linux kernel power regression reported back in April, which ended up being attributed to PCI-E Active State Power Management, is still not resolved even as Ubuntu 11.10 and Fedora 16 approach. Until Linux is able to handle ASPM in a manner more like Windows or the device drivers explicitly set the ASPM flag, users of many modern laptops need to use the "pcie_aspm=force" option to regain much of their battery life. At least a power bug affecting newer Intel hardware with the "energy performance bias" feature has been fixed. There's more information in this LaunchPad bug report and in the latest power consumption testing."

I prefer the original ordering, that is, ending with the prequel, rather than this horrible new ordering that you find everywhere. I was lucky enough to have found the original ordering in the late 80's. I think if you check British or Canadian publishers, you're more likely to find it over the new ordering. In my opinion, there's something about reading the prequel last that is more satisfying. Just like with the whole LOTR/The Hobbit reading order controversy. The original ordering is: 1) The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe 2) Prince Caspian 3) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 4) The Silver Chair 5) The Horse and his Boy 6) The Last Battle 7) The Magician's Nephew. The modern ordering is: 1) The Magician's Nephew 2) The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe 3) The Horse and His Boy 4) Prince Caspian 5) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 6) The Silver Chair 7) The Last Battle

Comment X men 2 rocked! (Matrix 1 sucked) (Score 1) 1093

X men 2 was absolutely perfect. Sure the hardcore comic book readers had some gripes about imperfections in the stories (like where Jason 143 came from) but here is a movie that had the budget to "Lucas" but decided instead to put those FX dollars to good use. The CG was flawless and not overbearing.

On the other hand, the Matrix 2 and 3 were absolute garbage. I couldn't stand watching either one and the last one was almost a personal insult it was so bad.

What about Kill Bill? That was also an awesome movie (moving away from Sci-Fi..sorta)...
