  1. But i have not been to the Exhibition! on How Accurate Were Leonardo Da Vinci's Anatomy Drawings? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How can i answer? Although i am a Doctor and from what i see in the BBC video and the article, the drawings are agreeably hundred of years ahead of his time. In my humble opinion the work done by Leonardo Da Vinci seeded the understanding of Antomy.

  2. FM service is a Bliss on Why UK FM Needn't Be Killed For Broadband · · Score: 1

    You cannot compare FM Radio's free Music service over Paid Broadband. FM Radio is still a bliss for countries where electricity outages takes place regularly, although this does not seem to be a reason in UK, but i doubt it and those who listen to FM would fight this till the end. Those who are planning this seem not to have heard FM radio and therefore they do not know how much joy it gives. This also can be a step to compel people to pay for Music instead of listening it free, which i do alot.

  3. In your own words! on Which Linux For Non-Techie Windows Users? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You wrote: "Having at last" Means a lot of work before you got it working, only satisfactorily, for your own self. It would be same for each person you deploy for. Unfortunately the lesson is only learned after you have tried for yourself. In the end it gets clear that Linux is not ready for non-techies.

  4. Excessive usage = Health Problems on Cola Consumption Can Lead To Muscle Problems · · Score: 1

    This can be seen as: 1. Addiction. 2. Research upon effects of products when used excessively. 3. Label on all things: Excessive usage will lead to health problems.

  5. Re:Revert interface to 0.8.6, or use OSX GUIfor wi on VLC 0.9.9, The Best Media Player Just Got Better · · Score: 1

    I also use 0.8.6 for the same reason. And also because .mkv format playback is slow on 0.9.*, and normal on 0.8.6 on the same hardware.

  6. Re:Surprise? on Reliability of Computer Memory? · · Score: 1

    Agreed. That old practice of formatting and reinstalling after some time is not sane now. Programs like ccleaner and Windows 2000 and later have made huge improvements over uptimes and stable intsallations. As far as memory, it may not be the culprit. The mobo can be the problem, even drivers for the mobo under Windows.

  7. Where did they found this ter'angreal? on Multiple Upcoming Games, Movies Based On Jordan's Wheel of Time · · Score: 1

    I gather it was past the darkness, mist and powerful keepers. I am not mixing up this with Thief. Both have an unreal connection. Oh wait unreal was also a game engine. Maybe now i am getting somewhere. Maybe i will get my hands on a copy when its out for taking!!!

  8. Re:Sarcasm Detected on Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo Now Out · · Score: 1

    Not sarcasm, just plain understanding among the game fans. You left one more important information about the system requirements: UT3 does NOT require Pixel Shader 3.0. Source: http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?p=2101099

  9. Epic's tradition: Low system requirements on Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo Now Out · · Score: 4, Informative

    The minimum requirements of UT3 are already impressive, and its great.

  10. This will save my time and give me confidence BUT on Matching Cancers With the Best Chemical Treatments · · Score: 1

    Variations exists, so its not that straight forward, however Algorithms like these act as a wonderful reference.

  11. Re:933 MHZ processor with 128 MB and FF2, np. :) on Firefox Lite And Old PCs Could Crush IE · · Score: 1

    Ok, i agree with you. Here in my country computers, like your are normality, and they work ok with FF as well. However Flash causes problems on my higher specked computer as well, therefore i use Flashblock extension, but NOT adblock!!! Anyway my point is that there is no need for Stripping Firefox as there are extensions available to do almost anything with FF 2.0.

  12. 933 MHZ processor with 128 MB and FF2, np. :) on Firefox Lite And Old PCs Could Crush IE · · Score: 1

    Yes, i have only one PC and those are its specifications and it runs FF2, with Kerio personal firewall and windows explorer with a music player on all the time in the background, this works smooth. Things do get a little slow with Gimp on in the background. The catch is that i use Windows 98SE, tweaked to handle memory well with fixed Swap file on another hard disk. Not to mention the thunderbird 2.0, the new one works more faster on my computer then the older 1.5 version i guess the newer one uses GTK 2.0 and older used GTK 1.0.

  13. Games are engrossing but in a different way. IMO: on Games Less Engrossing Than Other Media? · · Score: 1

    Because at higher difficulty levels the gameplay becomes very demanding, and all its graphical and sound impact is not felt anymore because it is replaced with the fear of losing to the next wave or falling during an attack on the enemy. I have found out, by observing myself, that studying after a burst(2-3 hours) of gameplay, leads to reduced concentration on my studies. I am studying to become a doctor and i often find TV more relaxing then Gaming, but the addiction to interactivity has to be satisfied everyday with few hours of gaming, there is no doubt about that.

  14. Re:Use the right tool for the job on 10 Years of Pushing For Linux — and Giving Up · · Score: 1

    I am a beginner and your comment was very informative for me. Its like "those who expect less will have more".

  15. Re:Windows98SE on Maintaining Windows 2000 for the Long Term? · · Score: 1

    Thanks mate. :)

  16. Re:Windows98SE on Maintaining Windows 2000 for the Long Term? · · Score: 1

    Zonealarm is nice, but it does uses lots of resources. Will you be kind enough to recommend me some good economical hardware firewalls. Thanks.

  17. Windows98SE on Maintaining Windows 2000 for the Long Term? · · Score: 1

    The time required to get Windows 2000 going is a complete waste. Go for Windows98SE, download following programs to keep it safe:

    1. Zonealarm with antivirus.
    2. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=8080 0&st=0
    3. Use firefox as your primary browser.
    4. New games will not run, but games till 2004 may run.
    5. Maximum Ram on Windows98SE is 512 MB
    6. Post all your queries at MSFN.

  18. Natural Adaptation of Human body. on Adult Brains Grow From Specialist Use · · Score: 1

    Disuse atrophy and Use hypertrophy.

  19. Re:Bullshit on 4 Seconds Loading Time Is Maximum For Websurfers · · Score: 1

    Same here, and on modern websites it takes over a minute to load a website completely. But life goes on.

  20. Re:no no, you have it all wrong on A Security Guide For Non-Technical Users? · · Score: 1

    Exactly.
