From experience -- no point at all. I tried it, and even with very aggressive settings there was no noticeable core temperature decrease or any improvement to battery life.

From experience -- no point at all. I tried it, and even with very aggressive settings there was no noticeable core temperature decrease or any improvement to battery life.
I still remember my first TOK essay topic: "Do our senses err?"
It got me interested in philosophy and I ended up studying philosophy-related things in college, and later also in graduate school....
This is true, but they also work great on tiny screens, for example on netbooks, since you can easily configure them to maximize all apps by default (with exceptions configured for apps that don't...
Sounds like a very good thing to me ;) Maybe I'll try it out.
Unused ram is wasted ram -- it's much faster to read from ram than from a hard drive. That said, it probably makes sense to optimize reserved memory use, so that more ram can be used for caching...
There are various branded versions of firefox in AUR, but you have to compile them yourself (easy, but it takes time). There is also a script that changes firefox icons and name for you without...
It's a bad decision. It's a classic example of sacrificing an ideal and a noble disposition of generosity that used to go along with it for the sake of a short term, practical concern -- for a...
Sorry, but this is kind of dumb from the forum management point of view, IMO. You can't really control what people choose to post, so it makes sense to try and "canalize" the generated discourse,...

Sorry, it was too tempting.
It is by all means possible to share Firefox/Thunderbird data between different OSs, including Windows in Ubuntu.
I could be wrong, but what you seem to be describing as "sharing data" is actually...
Marble mouse makes a perfect internet interface, IMO. Especially if you configure it so that you can use the ball for scrolling with one of the buttons pressed.
Arch's base is remarkably stable, IMO. As for everything else -- "Arch is what you make it." It is, by design, a DIY distro that merely provides you with raw materials, as it were. If it is...
So... what exactly do you have in mind as far as moderating choice in linux is concerned? :popcorn:
Randy Racoon?
I have Samsung NC10 -- it is now fully configured, runs flawlessly, and is fully functional in Linux. That includes various problematic details like fn keys, wifi led with ath5k module, or native...
Subjectively, to me, it feels faster than reiserfs for general use. And this is pretty good, because I used to consider reiserfs the fastest general-purpose filesystem in Linux (excluding...
Here's an example for you. The attached screenshot is from a netbook with a 1024x600 screen resolution. A panel takes up too much space, also browser statusbar is unnecessary (remember we're...
Linux has different logic than Windows because of CLI. Small specialized applications are perfect in Linux, because they can be used in scripts, you can pipe output of one into the the other, make...
I'm not a programmer, but since I started using linux (about a year and a half ago) I've learned how to write bash scripts and such. The vast majority of people who use linux are not programmers.

Desktop (22s) and laptop (15s). Vanilla kernel 2.6.28. Archlinux.
Why do we need to get to "mainstream"? I don't care about linux becoming "mainstream" -- I just need it to be popular enough for hardware manufacturers to provide linux drivers, that's all I need.

My guess would be -- buggy gtk theme.
Kernel is just another package and gets upgraded periodically like other packages. When you install/upgrade it a script generates a boot ramdisk (using Arch specific utility called mkinitcpio)...
Imagemagick is not a single program but rather a collection of tools.
Man page for the whole thing is available when you type "man ImageMagick", but there are also separate man pages for individual...
