Posable best of both worlds scenario;Some will - but Virtual XP Mode is targeted at business applications, games are a completely different matter.
wouldn't the "old" progs work with a "virtuel XP" on W7 work?-Kurios (March 12, 2010, 09:52 AM)
. Wonder if it has military uses Most consumers have unlimited internet plans, these days - and the size of an ad is hopefully going to be just a fraction of the content you want to view.If you have an ad blocker running, and you load 10 pages on the site, you consume resources from us (bandwidth being only one of them), but provide us with no revenueThis shows no sign of being bothered that their ads consume our bandwidth, distract our attention and give us nothing we want in return.-Dormouse (March 11, 2010, 05:15 PM)
If you never click on the ads, even when you see them, there's absolutely no point in wasting bandwidth (both ways) by having them onscreen. So the argument isn't really about whether the ads are blocked but whether they produce enough revenue, and there's an assumption that adblockers will be clickers if only they could see the ads. I suppose the next stage, if there isn't enough ad revenue after eliminating adblockers, is to make bigger more intrusive ads or to ration pageviews to users who click often enough.I was under the impression that you also get revenue just for displaying the ads? Might get more from a click-throug, though.-Dormouse (March 11, 2010, 05:15 PM)
LinuxSo...with all due respect, what's stopping you - or anyone else who feels that way - from writing one?As Linus Torvalds say about Windows they should have been shot in the head 15 years agoI'd rather have Linus shot in the head 15 years ago - perhaps then we could have a Windows alternative that didn't suck-Bamse (March 11, 2010, 04:50 AM)-f0dder (March 11, 2010, 05:43 AM)-40hz (March 11, 2010, 06:45 AM)
Haven't used UE for years, so can't speak about that - but Notepad++'s column editing mode is rather simple. It's not as bad as I remembered it being, though, after just grabbing a recent version: you can actually do edits affecting the selected block. But it feels like somewhat of a hack: as soon as you do any kind of navigation, you're no longer in "column editing mode". I guess it's based around a selection block, but once you start typing the selection block is no longer visible, and shift+tab isn't all intuitive either.Which works fine for copying text or doing find/replace, but pretty much not anything else - definitely not comparable to a column editing mode-f0dder (March 09, 2010, 07:10 AM)

Apparently the only difference between this free 9.5 version and version 10 is that the free version doesn't come with a WinPE recovery disk image, That might limit its' usefulness, but might still provide some value.That would make it useless for V2P and P2P.-mwb1100 (March 10, 2010, 11:45 PM)
Hm, that would depend on your swarm. I haven't checked with wireshark/whatever, but I've watched connection stats of �torrent and rtorrent - and I generally stay connected to (and grab numerous chunks from) a handful of high-speed peers... which also means no TCP new-connection 3-way handshake and window size negotiation.FTP doesn't have any sliding-windows stuff built in, that's part of TCPYou're right of course. I think I was assuming that on a single monolithic FTP transfer, the window size will grow to a large value and stay there for the rest of the transfer. But BT transfers are typically lots of short-lived connections that open and close.-f0dder (March 10, 2010, 12:01 PM)-CWuestefeld (March 10, 2010, 12:13 PM)
In any case, the point that BT simply externalizes the bandwidth costs so that it's borne by other parties (consumers or ISPs) is true regardless.True, at least that's how it's being (ab)used right now.-CWuestefeld (March 10, 2010, 12:13 PM)
So, in summary, yes, torrents are a great idea. But even today, it's still only used by the computer savvy. The majority of regular people still don't use torrent. I know people will disagree with me, but it's true.Not everybody playing World Of Warcraft are computer-savvy-superboyac (March 10, 2010, 12:40 PM)
And actually, I bet that it's a net loss overall. FTP is a very efficient protocol, with its sliding windows based on transmission accuracy. But I don't think BT does that, and moreover it must be using additional bandwidth in discovering additional peers.FTP doesn't have any sliding-windows stuff built in, that's part of TCP, which is also the transfer protocol used by bittorent.-CWuestefeld (March 10, 2010, 11:55 AM)

Which works fine for copying text or doing find/replace, but pretty much not anything else - definitely not comparable to a column editing modeBut I wanted something for home too. The feature I most apreciated in UE was the block colum mode, mentioned in an earlier post.
Whuile searching for a text editor replacement, Crimson Editor was the only thing I found that was free and had colum editing mode.-Daleus (March 09, 2010, 06:59 AM)
Just for the record, if you hold down Alt while selecting in Notepad++ it uses column mode (so Alt-Shift-cursor keys for instance).

.net compile to msil, but I'm pretty sure it was written in c++.Parts of it definitely are, like the core VM and it's JITer. Large parts of the framework, however, are in MSIL form, with parts of it native compiled to x86/AMD64 (I wonder if it's using native C++ code, or "just" ngen'ed). Check c:\windows\assembly with explorer. Interestingly, a large amount of assemblies (notable Microsoft.DirectX.*) don't seem to specify Processor Architecture :-s-CoderOmega (March 09, 2010, 06:57 AM)
That really shouldn't affect things much, considering that .NET has machine-neutral MSIL rather than native binaries?Yeah, the dotNET runtimes are huge, and sometimes I wonder if they have to be that huge. But there's lots and lots and lots of functionality in there.the .net 3.0 include both the 32bit and 64bit version. This is the reason of it's massive size.-f0dder (March 09, 2010, 01:08 AM)-CoderOmega (March 09, 2010, 06:19 AM)
