Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Over here, it says you should expect CPU emulation to be 1/500th or 1/15th slower than the host.
Yep. And the several hours it has already taken to run Software update attests to that.
I was more commenting on the accomplishment, and lamenting the slowness.
Sue, have you upgraded to Firefox, or are you still in Navigator? (Re: crash issue).
Wolfram, it's at work that I have that issue, and we're not supposed to install new programs on our own. So, I just use IE for the sites I have to and Netscape for everything else.
I ahve no Gmail problems at home with Firefox.
Thinking of getting a Tivo, and wandering how long one of those last. Any stories people want to share about how long they last?
N of 1 here...but I've had mine since early August 2003. Works well for me so far. *knock wood*
I saw a TV ad saying that you can go to tivo.com, buy a $200 Tivo, and get a $100 mail in rebate.
I've had mine about two years. It was iffy out of the box, and I had it replaced after about three weeks.
That Tivo deal is fucking tempting. Damn you people.
I've had mine two years and never a problem. Upgraded the hard drive about a year ago via Weaknees.
I've had mine for three or four years and have never had a problem. I think I've had to reboot it only a handful of times.
Sue, it was me not Wolfram who asked you about Firefox. Firefox is much less bloated than earlier version of netscape. It also seems more stable to me. So don't know if you are in a position to make suggestions at work - but if you are, you might want ask if they would consider adding Firefox as an option.
