Actually, YES. It does. Having something modded up as "Funny" gains you no karma whatsoever. However, if the same thing is modded down again, you DO lose karma. Is it unfair? I guess so, so I decided to report this as a bug. However, the developer's response so far has been... odd, at best. I do think that is not the right way to treat one's userbase/bug checkers. On a good note, this might just get me on some editor's "Shit list"... Which would be cute, in a really weird way... Nevermind that.

Funny you start about this so shortly after I file a bug report on this... Read my bio too, it also contains a nice little rant about people who mod "n+, Funny" comments down. To be honest, the whole damned moderation system could use a good overhaul; "Underrated" and "Overrated" are not open for metamoderation. About a month ago I had Excellent karma. Loads of +4 or +5 "Funny" posts later, I end up with positive, almost all posts modded down 2 or 3 points by using "Overrated".

It's in the CVS: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wix/wix/

I already posted on Rob Mensching's blog, that he should release the code as a ZIP package, too.

---------------

Use Nullsofts NSIS instead. Has always been free and SMALL - its not the bloatware of the windows installer or installshield for that matter, which add a ton of crap your C drive which are not related to the actual program being installed.

Browse the CVS.

• The Windows Installer XML (WiX - pronounced "wicks") is a toolset for advanced Windows developers that builds Windows installation packages from XML source code. Overall, WiX can improve the process of how software developers release software.
• WiX has grown organically and spread rapidly inside Microsoft for our own product builds (e.g. SQL, BizTalk, Exchange, Office, Virtual Server, many MSN properties) and there is a healthy internal community already contributing to the toolset.
• Many Microsoft product development teams use WiX to deliver their installation packages. Utilizing the 1.0 Common Language Runtime, WiX builds with Visual Studio.Net 2003 on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and will be of use with future Windows offerings.

you should check out media player classic. way better than ms's IMHO

A similar, but only 2d, visualization in some ways similar to these, but which is really useful is kdirstat.

>What are the Windows people missing out on?

For those who love the command line: exactly nothing. Services for Unix is free and supported by the OS vendor, and if you don't like it there's always UnixUtils, 4NT and Cygwin.

Okay, I did a cmd.exe "port" for you :) I could use Windows versions of find , grep , sed , diff and less to create a direct port, but you clearly want to highlight the supposed weaknesses of cmd.exe. Well here it goes:

C:\>cmd /v:on

C:\>(for /r . %D in (*.log) do @set filedate=%~tD && if !date:~4! == !filedate:~0^,10! findstr "foo" "%D" >> tempfile) && (for /f "tokens=*" %L in (tempfile) do @set line=%L && echo !line: censored =bar! >> !temp!\newlog) && del tempfile && fc !temp!\oldlog !temp!\newlog 2>&1 | more

Those are great links, but please use HTML <a href="..."> tags to make them clickable, like this:

Interesting way to manage files. But I think psdoom is much more fun:
http://psdoom.sourceforge.net/

The original idea for psdoom was by Dennis Chao:
http://www.cs.unm.edu/~dlchao/flake/doom/

(And reported on slashdot sometime recently:
http://slashdot.org/articles/99/10/20/1110242.shtm l).

That way people can just click on them instead of creating new tab, copying, pasting, remembering to remove the spaces inserted by Slashcode, etc.

For those who don't know that with that interface it takes many hours to copy and decrypt two or three files (and there are no more objects in the system than maybe half a dozen, imagine a real filesystem with gigabytes of data in hundreds of thousands of files) download Beneath a Steel Sky CD Version or Floppy Version and play it with ScummVM. It's a great game, even though that interface is nothing but a joke, like most of things there.
