Greedy Satisfaction

Now that you're reading... well, I am assuming you are if you are reading this. My father currently has an AMD Athlon 2800+, 1GB of DDR 266 ram, 80GB HD, GeForce 4 4600 video card. Now, I *know* that he hardly ever uses that computer. Most of the time he is surfing the web on his laptop or...

why do they never play the soup nazi episode

They dont play it to keep you watching. That episode wasn't amazing by any means, however, it got some hype and suddenly everyone thinks its funny. I love Seinfeld, the comedian, but that episode just wasn't that good.

iBook/powerbook Fuzy text in MS WORD?

I have that problem in both Firefox and IE... if you use a program called Acrobat Speedup (I believe) it should resolve all problems related to Acrobat. It removes some useless (note: useless to me, I've used it for quite a long time and never needed anything acrobat has been loading) and it...

It's Official * Creative Zen Touch IS the ipod killa * CONFIRMED

Actually, you can use iTunes, Foobar, Winamp, Ephpod, Anapod Explorer, and more... :) Lets not say things that aren't true. It is false to say iPod users MUST use iTunes. The Touch doesn't look to bad though, a bit cheaper, and doesn't work with OS X(?). How is the touchpad? Maybe it is...

who else thinks the new imac looks pretty dumb?

I believe at Hardforums, gigglebyte (however his name is spelt) said almost all parts are user replaceable. He works for apple or runs an apple store, something to that effect.

Firefox amazes me any time I use it!

Right, it isn't a HTML validator. However, it is something designed to display HTML. Thus, if it were to display only valid HTML, then the users who are designing sites with bad HTML would then have to fix their site, correct? Then all browsers be able to render the code correct, instead of...

Never understood the standards thing? How is using IE a standard? It's called a browser, it's not a standard. The standard is what IE should be using and reading, not whatever the heck it is using and reading now. IE might be the standard browser because most people use windows, but then your...

which code is more efficient?

I'm no expert with O notation, but I would think either code would produce a constant O. No matter the actual value, when you lump it in with anything else, the actual value of the constant is moot. Anyone care to backup/reject my thoughts? Either way, I'm interested to know.

free web server software for windows?

Other than Apache there are quite a few, just take a look at sourceforge.net However, apachefriends.org, download XAMPP. It gives you Apache, PHP, and mysql in a nice little bundle, and it works right out of the box.

Harddrive Opinion

Thanks for all your opinions. I was leaning for the 200GB, but was being put off by the 50GB extra and cheaper price. I just ordered the 200GB Seagate, and actually, if it does come, am getting it for .54/GB. Not bad I think, hopefully buy.com will send it :) Otherwise newegg has the same drive...
