ubuntu resouces at peak

smallstripes — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 06:23:54 +0800

i just installed ubuntu using wubi, i notice that my resources goes skyhigh around 80-100% depending on time..when im installing programs or uninstalling, also firefox takes up alot of the processses. tried updating to Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.11 (Ubuntu-feisty) still pretty much the same. should i just patch all the 169 patches for kernels and other application?

ive not really used linux before..but i would assume its not supose to be laggy/choppy?im on a pentium m 1.73ghz 512 ram an ati radeon x700 with 128ram external

nuffnang silent TOS

smallstripes — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 23:00:51 +0800

im here wondering the rights of nuffnang and innit.

usually when sites/companies have an additional feature they would update their TOS and make us agree to it again.
but when innit came out there wasnt any of this.

anyways ..wat happen was i posted something on my blog http://smallstripes.blogspot.com about this new advertising company called GrabMyAds

and i posted it on Innit. it was then deleted..and i posted it again..and then deleted again..so i wanted to email them bout it when i saw 2 new emails and yea..it was from them.saying something about my post.

so my question is...how come they dont delete stuff that relates to payperpost ?or other similar post on bloggin for money. i know its common sense to remove my post..but i dont see how come the other post dont get removed?

pls tell me wats wrong in my thinking..im abit slow in the head tats for sure.

QUOTE

As a general rule, you should not add FeedBulletin to any web-based news aggregator, such as Bloglines, My Yahoo!, or NewsBurst. These services will index your feed and make its contents searchable by anyone. You can apply username/password authentication to your feed to prevent it from being easily indexed, but it's better to be safe than sorry by not listing it in a web-based reader in the first place. It's best to use a desktop news aggregator, such as FeedDemon, Safari in Mac OS X Tiger, or NetNewsWire to subscribe to FeedBulletin.

By default, FeedBulletin only notifies you about problems FeedBurner encounters when processing your feed through our automatic FeedMedic service. However, we may add more personalized features to this feed in the future that permit you to receive traffic statistics, account-related notices, and other slightly more personal communications via RSS. We will always give you the choice of whether to include these communications in FeedBulletin; they will not appear unless you approve them.

could it be because i set something in publicize > ping shot

and made feedburner ping those sites in the list?cant be rite?i currently just deactivated it to see wat happens
