Some amazing Peter Kohlman claims:
* A swap partition is more efficient than a contiguous swap file on Linux. (The kernel tracks swap space by contiguous regions of disk. It doesn't care if they come from a file or a dedicated partition.).
* A screen shot of an antialiased image will not show the antialiasing. (Trivially disproved by experiment).
* MD5 collisions are not a security risk.
* 64-bit pointers do not take up more memory than 32-bit pointers.
* KDE apps will not work on Cygwin.
* Posting your WPA key to a public forum is not a security risk for your wireless network.
* Peter claimed that the answer given by Excel for multiplying 29513736 by 92842033 shows Excel is slop ware. Unfortunately, Peter didn't bother to check with any other spreadsheets, as all versions of OpenOffice *agree* with Excel. Peter was too dumb to realize that many spreadsheets give results to a set number of significant figures.
* If X makes a statement, for example "the sky is blue", and Y says that X is wrong, that does NOT mean that Y disagrees with the statement "the sky is blue" or agrees with the statement "the sky is not blue".
* LCD displays cannot look good at anything other than their native resolution.
