  1. No need to install the official Quicktime Player by Qa1 · · Score: 2, Informative · on The Matrix: Revolutions Theatrical Trailer
    "Sorry folks, Quicktime 6 only."

    Windows users can download the extra cool Media Player Classic. This slim, effective, GPLed all-in-one player has extensions for playing Quicktime, Real, and many other formats. No need to install bloated proprietary players for each and every format out there.

  2. Re:heat sinks! by bill_mcgonigle · · Score: 1 · on G5 PowerBook "Challenge"

    Dual G4's in laptops though are not out of the question.....

    I really hope they do give us dual G4's in a Powerbook. It would make a fine desktop replacement, since the current crop falls short. There would, of course, need to be an Energy Saver preference to disable the 2nd processor on battery, and the OS would need to know how to do that dynamically, like BeOS could ten years ago or so. My first Powerbook could switch from 25 to 16MHz via a control panel...

    Some are speculating that IBM is skipping 90nm manufacturing alltogether, and going straight for
    60nm processes, so the G4 might have to last a while longer while they get that worked out.

  3. Re:DMCA ... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Google Removes Links in Response to DMCA Complaint

    Doesn't seem to have been very effective, as I did a straight Google search using "kazaa" and found Download Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.2 - Improved version of Kazaa LITE ! ... right on the first page.

  4. 2nd search result? by ttyp0 · · Score: 1 · on Google Removes Links in Response to DMCA Complaint
    Their complaint wasn't very effective. When searching for Kazaa Lite I get a link to download as the second result. Ooops, did I just break the DMCA?

    Anti SCO T-Shirts donates to the Open Source Now Fund.

  5. I searched for kazaa lite.. by njan · · Score: 1 · on Google Removes Links in Response to DMCA Complaint

    ..and it came up with an article on it and more than one site listing it for download - the second link, in fact, was one such site.

    How are the results lacking, precisely?

  6. Re:patch me up baby! by srmalloy · · Score: 1 · on DirectX Flaw Leaves Windows Vulnerable
    Direct download for 9.0b (not for nt4.0).

    The Microsoft link for the download is for the web-install version of 9.0b; you have to be connected to the Net to install it. I did some searching, and I found a download site for the redistributable full download of DirectX 9.0b here; it's a 32.6 Mb download, but you can put it on a CD or a fileserver, and you won't have everybody at your site pounding your Net connection to hit Microsoft for the pieces they need.

    They almost feel like...essential OS components.

    they can be, if you like. Although I just like using them in firebird/blackdiamond.
