@ilovetofu: You had your family pee on your leg? (ok a little exageration)

@Google Changed Reputation and Privacy Forever

I don't have this, but I assume the "Uninstall" button is right beside it, just like all extensions. What is the point of doing it this way when 1 mouse click kills it?

@Lord_Data: OMG lol, now Crysis runs at 100 FPS, since I downloaded 100 GB of RAM! Thanks for the link!

I fail to grasp the point of this method beyond servers (even that's a stretch), since data written to a cache will inevitably be written to the harddisk. Once you cut the power, bye bye cache. Maybe some servers that are loaded with power fail-safes could use this method, but it could be devastating for a cheap…

This isn't really practical, as the chalk line has to be at least 1 foot wide, and go underground (ants do live in tunnels underground you know)

@stever: Its not the software that bothers me, its the display. Most ebooks and computer monitors use LCD technology, which causes eyestrain after extended use, while the kindle uses a kind of display called e-ink, which contains physical grains of some substance that is pushed around to form letters using…

@dan: no matter what format the image or my monitors hardware is comparison pic 1 should look worse than comparison pic 2, and lossy images do not cause that much glare. And yes, I've tuned my monitor, pictures and movies look great on it. And the new iphones monitor is definitely not 300 DPI in the true sense…

The pic of the display looks like all they did was crank the contrast up. Doesn't like new cutting-edge technology to me.

The concept discussed by this guy is the same as meditation, "clear your mind of all thoughts" I've always found it impossible. I can focus my thoughts easily, but to not think at all? You're either dead or asleep (non-REM).

I own an iPod Touch 3G(same concept as iPhone if you're talking about OS features), but I would much prefer the Android since I'm into the open-source philosophy and I like the GUI. And the fact that Apple locks the iPhone to non-licensed software pisses me off.

The only time I'd consider digital books (novels, manuals I'd keep on the computer, preferably in plain/rich text so I can search easily) is if I had a Kindle, since it causes (virtually) no eyestrain, but I'm not up to paying $499 for an ebook reader, I'd rather upgrade my PC.

@eien: Full disk encryption would logically cause quite a bottlekneck and performance issue, due to the fact that since everything is decrypted in realtime, file access streams must be directed through the CPU to be decrypted. Performance impact's noticableility is a variable though. Doing web browsing on a full-disk…

@GregH: I didn't think hard about my comment, of course some people have different tastes, but I must say that I find McDonalds fries to barely count as fries (look at the inside, they're made of a sliver of some kind of potatoes paste with a heap of batter and salt on top.

@jchen1: Again, only if you were a CEO of some multi-billion dollar company would anyone try and attack you to hack your os. And since the world knows about the decoy os capability, any interrogator would likely try to beat that out of you.

@Marand: As for your first response, only intel's cutting-edge latest CPU's (AMD hasn't added support) have AES hardware support.

@ianturton: LOL That is so true. Or how about the fact that the evil forces could slip a rootkit(custom coded, so no AV scanner can detect, with metamorphic code so that the rootkit is constantly changing its file sig) into his laptop, or simply get a microcamera inside his room and record his password when he types…

I love how biased the voting types are:

Who actually prefers McDonalds french fries to the nice fat, juicy Mcaines fries (the kind you can usually buy at your grocery store/super market)?

Vectormagic does the best tracing in my experience, Inkscape does pretty well too.
