Or more. And why is Mozilla using up 177MB of RAM? I only had like 40 tabs open... :D (okay, that one makes sense... :))
I like a lot of things about Windows Vista, but not how much of a ridiculous memory hog it is... I know that there are a few things I could disable, though I did some of that already, but disable too many things and something might stop working...
Now this is an odd one, though really I guess it's not much weirder than the US myth that swimming after eating will kill you. At any rate some news station is actually asking the question as to whether or not there's any truth behind it.
You and I are probably the only people that will find this amusing. Well maybe N-man, but yunno... canadian. anyway my favorite part is when patton gets the jeep.
I have opened up my sharepoint services for public access.
If anyone of you needs a online place to store a file, or needs a file stored so it can be emmbeded, hop on down to [here].
Version 2.0 of my sharepoint software includes a fully functional search engine for files, and new improved layout of search results. Also feel free to browse the share point, there is a lot of cool stuff to look at.
Files that are added are immediatly indexed, so after you add a file just search for it to get it's URL. Hope you all enjoy! Happy sharing!
Note:
Keep in mind that with .Net you have to physically click the search button to perform the search, simply hitting the enter key won't do. Try "erich" as a sample search to get the ball rolling.
Irrational Games is now "2K Boston". One step on the road to their destruction? They are so awesome, this is really too bad... I know it's supposedly just a name change, but these things... :(
So a gentle blue pulse tells me there's something new, and that something new is a Metroid Prime 3 preview for download. I was quite happy to find Nintendo was finally taking this step that both MS and Sony were doing, or so I thought.
It's not a game demo. Unfortunate, but understandable considering the space limitations on the Wii. Even ONE demo would take up more than 512 MB in a single go.
It's a preview video. Well, that's something, but Nintendo screwed this up. Here's what you actually download. Basically, it's just a small app that goes online and STREAMS the preview video onto your screen. Nintendo's servers aren't exactly up to this task though. That means 3 minutes of "buffering" for roughly 5 seconds of video at a time. I've got things to do, and that's the most inhumane way to watch video humans have ever concieved. It's like dental work before pain killers.
I'd suggest Nintendo just add a video section where we can download videos, indeed, a list of queued up downloads that continue in the background as we continue to use the Wii (just like all the other systems) as opposed to this waiting for Mario to hit a bunch of blocks while we can't do anything else on the system. However, aside from Nintendo still having a way to go, there's also the space issue. The fact is, Nintendo needs to release a hard disk for the system, and this is the proof. It's the main reason we aren't getting video and game demo downloads on this system.
On the other hand, Nintendo is finally adding USB support. It's limited, not in the web browser yet for example, but at least I can finally TYPE messages to people on my contact list so there's that. Now if they could redo the contact list into something worthwhile...
