Actually, that sounds rather logical. If they queried how many fonts you had and you really have that many, then it would really help uniquely identify your browser. I'm sure plenty of others have as many fonts as you, but not all of them use the same browser at the same...

As I recall it wasn't a fork, but a major re-launch of the original GAIM code by the original dev team. This was because of AOL's legal battle over trademarks against "GAIM", which was settled by completely renaming the program and files to Pidgin.

You're talking about an OS feature? Honestly this is left up to the actual program... I can for example tell either of my Folding@home clients to use any % of the CPU I wish... 90%, 50%, whatever. It depends on the program and if the option was written into it. Generally the system remains...

You're not talking about that Microsoft XPS document writer, are you? If so don't blame your printer, it's an OS issue... you need to tell the OS which one is default. It's really stupid Microsoft programed their software to direct all programs to print to something that is not even a printer...

Yes, but lets say you are listening to music with your iPad... you can't do anything else. All it becomes is a giant iPod! Can't surf the web with Pandora playing music in the background, can't use it for VoIP calls... if I was in bed or on the sofa and wanted to watch something I'd use the TV...

Ah, thanks for the tip Rob! It slipped my mind but really I should have added it in the article! With the ISO extracted it only takes a few seconds to find and edit (or outright delete) that file. :)

So far I'm still quite happy with the OS, no major problems so far although there are plenty of niggling issues I'd have loved to see finally fixed. I'm never going to touch Vista or XP again if I can help it. :) The Steam survey results are even more surprising than I was expecting... I...

Well what is amusing is I probably would only cut the 2.1 day completion time down by a fourth to a third, but it would be rather welcome! I have to say I can't regret more not buying a second kit of RAM now that I need one... If I did upgrade to Gulftown I absolutely could not avoid having...

I'm going to paste what I said elsewhere, just because I hate slanted news like this. I'm not denying the majority of torrents are illegal, but 99% is a meaningless number here used to pull in readers. Claiming 99% of torrents are illegal is only true if your sample size consists of a single...

Macman, here's one article on it. http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2010/1/27/apple-a4-soc-unveiled---its-an-arm-cpu-and-the-gpu!.aspx Unfortunately as I was trying to say, the ~1GHz speed is standard speeds for ARM9 Cortex chips. If a company orders ARM's prebuilt designs they can use...

Hehe, sorry Rob! ;) Hmm, well I think that is normal for speakers (unfortunately), but that's not my area of knowledge so I can't say for sure. What are you using to measure with? Any multimeter or device that measures current by plugging the devices directly into it (such as a Kill-A-Watt)...

To the best my of knowledge Xeons are made from the exact same "parts", although I suppose it is possible Intel could be modifying the silicon ingredients just a little bit during the wafer manufacturing stage to improve them. (Certain high-cost metals are added in trace amounts to improve...

HP, IBM, and others only resell the Xeons. The only company that manufactures them is Intel. :) Core i7 chips don't require FB-DIMMs, only some of Intel's exotic processors still use those anymore. There is nothing really special about this motherboard, Newegg is full of similar (and quite a...

You aren't kidding! I've seen nothing but backlash against this all day! I think part of it is the hype went on for too long, long enough everybody had envisioned the perfect tablet-based iMac. This thing couldn't be further from it. Given the functionality and popular opinion I think this...

Once people have full access to the PS3's memory, they can pretty much eventually hack, crack, or modify ANYTHING the console does, from the running kernel to games, to disabling/modifying security and DRM related protections. It's the same principle on the PC, once a program has full access to...

Opera offers the same option. It just depends on how you like your tabs arranged. Some people (notably myself amongst them) use the tab stacking to "order" tabs by oldest to newest. Tabs I just opened start on the bottom of the stack and tabs that I already had opened are towards the top...

The chip now appears to be a regular ARM9 core, nothing special. While the iTouch uses a 600Mhz chip the iPad uses a multimedia capable version clocking about 1GHz, which is fairly standard for the newest ARM stuff. Unfortunately for the theory this means there isn't anything for Apple to...

I got really cold one evening so I decided to have still another crack at 4.5GHz... having a need for the speed due to F@H's -bigadv program only gave added incentive. I never thought I'd find the limit where piling on more vcore didn't help, but I did. Unfortunately 4.4GHz is the absolute max...

I hear you on the printer cartridges, b1lk1. It was absurd that Lexmark programmed their cartridges to deactivate based on # of prints rather than how much ink was left in them in order to increase sales. I only use Epson printers as I was a big fan of the Epson 880i that I used to have... it...

Given Apple's propensity to keep everything closed and tightly locked down, I highly doubt they will be licensing their processor out. They already go to some unusual lengths to ensure the hardware in their desktops isn't directly compatible with PC's and to otherwise differentiate it as better...
