Cheer's for the link, shame it doesn't support Vista X64

Could try ObjectDock (the free version), but that has a bit of a reputation for eating resources.

About as many as I typically use

Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :

Safari 4 Beta is actually the fastest browser on the market right now. Even faster than minefield and google chrome.

[citation needed]

Benchmarks are not real-world usage. No actual conclusions can be made from just running Sunspider a few times. (Especially when Sunspider only tests Javascript performance)

Well no surprise there, it is after all an Apple product. Having never really used Opera I wouldn't know. I've never really got on with Opera to be honest, not sure why. I've just never liked it's feel.

Corrected for you

CPU usage is through the roof. Using a full core doing nothing. No thanks, I kinda expect a browser to not use much CPU when it's not actually rendering or processing Javascript.

Other than that, the claims that it passes the Acid3 test? False. The animation's not smooth. The "top sites" thing is just eye candy, no need for it to be 3D at all.

Also, where's the full screen functionality? I value my screen space. The latest Chrome nightlies have it, why can't the latest and greatest from Apple?

All in all, it's a no from here. Of course, I'm rarely in Windows anyway, so I'd not be using either Safari or Chrome. It seems visually inconsistent too, the tab bar being totally out of place against the rest of the frame.

So Closed and proprietary? OSX is quite the contrary. Most of it is Open-Sourced.

Except the entirety of the frontend, with the exception of WebKit. (I'm not including the GNU toolkit and things like Apache, MySQL, PHP etc in this, since if it wasn't bundled you could add it anyway). Cocoa? Closed. All the consumer apps? Closed. Overall, OS X is a lot more closed and proprietary than FreeBSD, Linux et al, but is overall a lot more open than Windows.

Ok thanks for some messages, but i need to solve that error. Who can explain how i can fix it? Or maiby use an other running method?

The post above explained what your options are to get it working

Quote from Jakg :

How about basic laptops with the Pentiums in it (i.e. the GF's Dell or about 40% of the PC's at work) or the ones with Turions in them? (about 25% of the PC's at work...)

Or the netbooks with Atoms in

Quote from Stefani24 :

FF is better then internet crapxplorer and google-chromy-ass

Have to disagree on the Chrome thing, both Firefox and Chrome have their place (I happen to really like Chrome, it's fast and actually looks rather nice)

Quote from Blackout :

They suit for old people as they are rather idiot proof.

Oh really? I'm sure if you just dump a Mac on an "old person" (by that I assume you mean an older person that has never used a computer before) then they'd be just as clueless as to how to use the thing as if you threw a machine running Windows or Linux at them. They'd work it out eventually but then again someone using any GUI-based OS would.

Quote from danowat :

Because cars are trademarked, and you can't go putting trademarket content in something you charge for without paying for a license to use it.

That, as has been described before, is not the model LFS uses anyway. IIRC it was Scawen that said they'd never paid a penny for the rights to use a car in LFS. There's always been some sort of deal that doesn't involve the handing over of money. BMW are unlikely to agree such a deal for the M3, however

I'd figured as much Looks like I'll be buying a bigger monitor soon, so as to not lose pixels

MAC address spoofing is easy. Something MUCH more secure is needed alongside it.

Pretty much as the title says. I've had this in both Vista and now 7 using the latest nvidia drivers (and a few before this). As soon as I enable my second monitor the card clocks up to full 3D clocks no matter if Aero is enabled etc. If I disable the second monitor it'll downclock again, but I'd rather not have to do that.

So, anyone got any idea at all what could be causing it?

Every single time I try a new keyboard I find myself going back to my old, old PS/2 one. You can't beat a proper microswitch under each key for feel. Makes a racket but oh so worth it.

EDIT: Back onto topic. No, I wouldn't buy a keyboard for a screen. I have 2 (rather larger) screens right in front of me, why would I want to divert my vision to look at a third, rather small, one? (That and the cost, the keyboard I have now cost me nothing and feels a hell of a lot better to type on than any other keyboard I've used.)

EDIT: I got my point from Vista 6.6

In Vista the most you can get without editing files is 5.9. Check your facts

Chewing CPU up much?

Quote from swisscosmo :

I have gotten Windows 7 to work on my mac and its great it has some new fetures but Mac is still better but Windows 7 is way better than Vista and/or XP It still has its problems but remember its the BETA and it will be released anytime from June 1st 2009 - July 30th 2010 So they want to make this perfect.

Personally I think OS X sucks. It's quite the opposite of intuitive. And yes, Win7 is a lot better than Vista - it actually works.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I'd install Windows 7 Beta, however when I tried Vista beta, Microsoft said all I had to do was rename .Windows file (which was my XP install) to Windows and do the opposite with the Vista file (rename to .Windows), then reboot and delete the .Windows folder. It wouldn't let me, even on Administrators account. So I had to reformat. Won't be making the same mistake again.

That wouldn't work due to differing boot loaders. You could theoretically do it between Vista and 7 if you edited the BCD config and did the change in Safe Mode after giving yourself permission to

EDIT: Back on topic - LFS in Windows 7 is rather lovely here - no wheel because of desk not wanting me to fit it, but frame rates are way up
