Which distro has the best documentation?

I can honestly say that after trying to install about 5 different distros, I learned more and was far better educated from the Gentoo Docs than anything else.

Why Mac

Actually, last time I tried to use a mac for a fairly simplistic task, it froze on me. Point being: "Your milage may very."

Assuming absolute zero were a possibility:?

Forgive my limited understanding of Physics, but it was my knowledge that when anything travels at C, its mass is multiplyed by infinity. Thus, if light (photons) had mass, that mass would become infinite and some very weird things would start to happen. I haven't noticed the solar system...

Yes, that sounds right. Thanks for the correction.

MiniDV and Megapixels

I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that the camera still records at regular NTSC resolution (480x320, I think) . The extra pixels are for still images. At least, that's how mine works.

Assuming absolute zero were a possibility:?

mmm... that could very well be true. So you say that the velocity of the electrons is relatively close to C. How close are we talking here?

I don't think so, considering that the mass of an electron is far less than the mass of a proton or neutron and that there should be about twice as many particles in the neucleus as in orbit. So if you have 20 boulders in a pile and tie them to 10 pebbles then swing the pebbles around they...

Internet Browsers

Love Firebird! By the way, if there's a 1.5 version of Firebird, I haven't heard of it. To the best of my knowledge, the newest version is 0.7, a few bugs (it is a beta after all) but the speed, the extensions and the great implementation of tabbed browsing make it all worth it!

If I buy an 875 chipset mobo (ASUS or abit) today, will it support a prescott processor?

The early prescotts will use the old Socket 478, but I think that they plan on switching to a different one later on.

Heat from OCing

I always thought that if you OCed without increasing the voltage, the temperature would remain relatively the same as before. Am I correct or mistaken?
