The huge problem I have with Anime is that it is pushing many other forms of entertainment out of the market. That, and I've grown to dislike the attitude of a great many anime/manga fans toward other classically geeky preoccupations (science fiction/comics/D&D etc). If it were under its own...

Even worse, why would anyone say anything nice about Trinton Azaleth?

People who want to store anime in any quantity shouldn't be allowed to breed. But, OK, I'm hovering at something just over 6TB in local storage at the moment. I rip 20 - 30 movies a week. For my efforts I can exhaust 500GB in a month without any difficulty at all. To me a single terabyte...

My experience in the matter is not as extensive as some others, but in my opinion CPU speed is only relevant up to a point while gaming. If I play Doom 3 on an XP2800 or an Athlon64/3200, both with 1GB of RAM and both with a 9800 Pro, I really do have what I feel is an identical experience in...

4 '33" is actually very difficult to perform, since the musician must still keep a proper beat without any aural cues . It's also fascinating to hear, because absent the music from the stage, an audicence makes a surprising amount of noise, even a well-mannered crowd such that might attend a...

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Store in jukebox, as was intended. Use database to keep track of which disc is where.

Just the republicans.

I have a simulator called "Virtual Date with Jenna Jameson" that's pretty cool.

Bose is bad m'kay?

Have you properly set your CPU voltage? What happens when you jumper the thing to some nice, conservative setting like 2x66MHz? Doesn't the 569 take DIMMS? Where did you get 168 pin EDO memory, anyway? Are you sure it works? Are you sure it's EDO?

Or perhaps you could find a form of entertainment better suited for your needs. Like a book. It's really sad that popular music these days is essentially mixed with the idea that it will be heard through crappy headphones.

Portable audio = poor quality audio.

Er.. if you use BITS to get your windows updates, you don't really need IE any more at all.

IE 6 is NOT worth $161. Windows XP isn't worth $161.

Aw crap, that other thing was supposed to be a PM.

Actually - and this probably violates a EULA of some kind - it strikes me that a gmail account could very easily be used for a file cache for SF users.

slaker1@yahoo.com I'll be using them for storage space.

I would have to be paid to accept Opera in any version I have ever tried.

I'll take 12 from whomever. Yes, I'm serious.

To search google from the address bar: Make a new bookmark: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s Set the keyword to something simple. I use "g" To search, type "g searchterm" e.g. g boobies -bird Which will hopefully return many results of the non-lame kind.

As I said above, I think it would be icky as a HTPC device. Yes, there are USB sound doohickies for the Mac, but what a horrible kludge for something that's so damned small! And downloading HD Video? Do you have any idea how big those files are? With a 40GB drive? Huh-uh. I don't see it. Nope.

I've seen malware .XPIs. Firefox prompts and asks if you want to install "eviladware666.xpi" from "XXXcocainewarezandstrippers.com". Puts a big window at the top of your screen, that you have to click on to even click on to find out the site wants to install something. The moron who has...

Generally speaking, if I partook of satan's leavings, it was from a large retail establishment, since those are basically the only brand that's sold at retail a lot of places. Best Buy has gotten better, though, and now I can choose from Hitachi or three other sucky brands.

Do Brits really understand/care/watch the super bowl? Wow. It's even worse than I thought.

Oddly enough, I'm installing Suse 9.2 on an Athlon 64. The first thing it did when I told it to install was bring up a window with the title "Cool Computer but..." and "You are about to install 32-bit software on a 64-bit computer" as its contents. Well, OK. It made me laugh.

Well, here is a decent place to start.. Making a listener that monitors something on a serial port should be something that a EE type could probably whip up in about 20 minutes.

I dunno. Those Spider-man cartoons my tivo picked up for me were pretty cool. MTV would probably be OK if they'd just start showing boobies. Or at least more of the ass-shaking-chicks-in-thongs that are on the Spanish channels and BET every time I channel surf through them. To reiterate...

Is there some part of this thread that's in a language I understand?

I refuse to believe that Mr. Right Wing Flagreen in fact had a mother. :P

Well, I'm slightly put off by only being able to set partitions or disks as immutable, but I understand why that is. I'm thinking that I'll give this software a go for one of my more troublesome clients ("XXXdialer?!? Boy does that sound like fun!") This might be absolutely perfect if it...

The 3GB switch will work, or you can move the application to an "Enterprise" version of NT Server, which use 3GB/1GB by default. I'm under the impression that you'd have to move up to something Opertonish to get actual 64-bit memory addressing.

Ugh. I feel dirty now. I need a shower.

The fact that the majority of the political parties in the Iraqi election did not release the actual names of their candidates "for security reasons" suggests otherwise.

A place to start.

The only goal should have been to not have the war in the first place. Free elections in a conquored nation are bullshit when there was no valid reason to conquor the nation in the first place.

You need to stop getting your ideas about what other people think from Fox news, RW. In my opinion the war was entirely unjustified. There is no evidence of a link between Al Queda and Iraq. There were no WMDs - as UN Inspectors said, despite what members of the administration claim. Hussein...

Hey, speaking of despotic leaders mistreating their rebellious citizens... has anyone noticed what Putin's been doing in Russia lately? I'm sure there's a Reagan-era conservative with a hard-on for the push past St. Petersburg SOMEWHERE in the present administration. Too bad Putin and King...

Whoops. Also I did finally get my junction point to work properly at the Documents and Settings level. I can literally format the partition with the OS installed, recover from a ghost image and be back - with all user profile information 100% intact and undisturbed and still appearing to be on...

The programs that come with the recovery console are the only programs that work in the recovery console. TweakUI can move "My Documents" but not the whole of "Documents and Settings"

Has anyone tried this program or heard anything about it?

Not as I can tell. The main problem is that to use mount points, the underlying directory needs to be empty. Docs and settings is NEVER empty - at least "All Users" and "Default Users" will always be there. So, I tried these instructions and found that they kind of work, but some of the stuff...

I just found this. It scratches a particular itch I've had for a bit.

If you're running X, any modern Linux install should automount a USB drive for you.

I'm pretty much catch-as-catch-can on Adblock filters, actually. Using a hosts file and also only allowing images from originating servers seems to get most things I consider annoying.

Every sport can be made better with the addition of land mines.

Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. phpBB is a perfect example of a LAMP application, but there are dozens if not hundreds on freshmeat.net
