What are the advantages of SATA 6.0 Gb/s over 3.0 Gb/s?
I know this has nothing to do with computers, but I walked into my Honors English class today... And I decided to sit by the window because it was warm out.

If you have a SSD that supports SATA 6.0Gb/s the reads and writes are higher
Regular hard drives are no where near the the speed of SATA 3.0Gb/s so there is no difference
[QUOTE=Pelf;32401689]What are the advantages of SATA 6.0 Gb/s over 3.0 Gb/s?[/QUOTE] 3 Gbps extra bandwidth that goes unused unless you have a really fast SSD.

+3.0 Gb/s?

Mold? Paint? Somebody's rotting shit?

[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;32401794]Mold? Paint? Somebody's rotting shit?[/QUOTE]
It's mold. I touched it, realized it was mold, yelled "Fuck fuckfuck oh no shit", washed my hands, then snapped a pic with my cell phone.
I hope I don't die.
it's mildew. it's not toxic, dangerous, or anything like that. there's a fair chance it had some bacteria in it that cured some terrible disease you may have
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;32401415]Anyone know any cool, lesser-known Firefox plugins? We all know about the ABPs and the Noscripts and such, but are there some hidden gems out there?[/QUOTE]
There's only two I have that are remotely weird:
Restart Firefox
Menu Editor
The first just adds a "restart firefox" button to the main menu. I installed it because FF4 would slow down to a crawl after being open for a few hours. It seems to be fixed in whatever new version I'm using, but I haven't bothered to uninstall it yet.
The second lets you edit the right-click menu, and get rid of useless options like "Send Link" or "Set as Desktop Background".

OH GOD I feel so much better now.
But on a more tech related note, the teacher i'm helping this year had a big box on his desk this morning. As I walked in, he was grinning happily. It was 3 D5100's and 3 of them go pro heros with 1 tripod mount, 1 helmet w/ mount, and a sticky/suction one. It was like Christmas.

Set as desktop background is a useless optio-

See, I use a program called WallpaperSS - it automatically cycles through my wallpapers every few minutes. For some silly reason it converts the current wallpaper to BMP before displaying it, but that's not too much of a problem - even a 1280x800 BMP is only 4MB.

I have a terrible habit of saving everything in PNG (since 99% of my drawings use transparency and PNG plays the nicest with that sorta thing in my experience)
Maybe I'll go the uncompressed JPG route from now on for wallpapers

does it like turn it off or something

is there something causing problems in this list or is this thing just not compatible with Nightly.

same memory usage as before installation
Just remembered this now. On Friday in health class my teacher decided to show everyone how to log in on a site for our health books. When she first typed in the url she started talking about how we NEED to type in "http://". Okay, it can't be all bad. NOPE. The first thing that pops up before the page completely loads is an installer for the shockwave player. "Oh yeah, that will happen with this site. Just wait for the error message to pop up. Don't worry it isn't a virus at all". Okay, it can't be all ba- "Trust me, I'm a teacher. I know more about computers than all of you"
... :suicide:
I did a quick, unscientific experiment.
In both instances, I had five tabs open: about:home, google.com, bing.com, youtube.com, and reddit.com

What? As long as you're not stretching it, the image will stay the same. As long as you fill, fit or center the image, the aspect ratio should be the same. I've always used personalize on Windows 7 with pictures I've taken or various other stuff and I haven't had any problems.
So yeah, I'd consider that a success.
God dammit ninjas. I'm referring to this.

Depends how much is little memory.
Considering how much RAM we have nowadays even in bloody phones, I don't mind a 30-50mb overhead.

There's no way it does that without some performance hit, though. You can't fix memory bloat from an extension, just make a heavy space/time tradeoff.
Try running some browser benchmarks with it enabled and disabled.

I figured as much, I'm still giving it a long term trial to see how it might effect performance.
What browser tests would you recommend?
[editline]20th September 2011[/editline]
I usually use Peacekeeper.
[editline]20th September 2011[/editline]
You are right, it affected performance.

The plugin might not be useful for a desktop, but I may use it on my Laptop where I need more RAM, and I don't like Chrome.
