  1. Re:Glide? on Parsec To Be Released As Open Source · · Score: 1

    The drivers on the MS install disk are just the 2D and possibly also direct3d drivers, but for opengl/glide games you'd need other drivers.

  2. Re:The O2 XDA is almost as bad on Testing an Orange SPV 'Smartphone' · · Score: 1

    Having both...

    go for the palm:
    + longer battery life
    + less prone to crashes
    + doesn't tend to run slowly after some time, needing a reset
    + fits in your pocket a lot easier
    + has a better user interface, and thus is a lot easier to use
    - lacks multimedia functions, but that helps the battery life, and you already have an mp3 player in your phone
    - the screen isn't so good (didn't get a chance to try a tungsten yet, should be about the same as iPaq, but little bit higher resolution)

    Just my personal opinion off course

  3. Re:Long Live the States! on 239 MPG Car · · Score: 1

    Yeah, if only the pollution and damage to the environment caused by your great nation would stay enclosed in it's borders it would be a perfect world...

    I think it's good if people have an incentive to buy cars that use less liters /100 km (yups, we got the metric system, ain't that great), because it helps the environment, and we don't need cars which use considerable amounts of fuel to get somewhere fast... so what's the reason to buy a 5l V8 (taxes here in Belgium would amount to about 5000/year)

  4. Re:Trends on Have Fujitsu Harddrives Been Failing in Record Numbers? · · Score: 1

    Well... just to keep on the safe side... I have quite a lot of fans in my setup:
    2x front 8cm
    2x PSU 9cm & 8cm
    1x rear 8cm
    1x top 8cm (not running atm, too noisy)
    1x GPU fan 8cm (glued on standard cooling block ;-)
    1x CPU fan 8cm
    and the system produces less than 37dB.
    All fans are running with voltage regulators, and the CPU fan is temperature controlled. My XP1700 runs between 48 and 58C (diode measurement) and the hd's stay below 30C which makes me feel good.
    Even so, I still feel like replacing my IBM 7200 rpm harddrives because they are too noisy (the loudest thing in my rig, even when idle)

    morale: lots of fans doesn't mean loud... lots of fans at low rpm will still give enoug airflow and very little noise

  5. Re:That SSPCA.ORG site member signup form? on Cheap SSL Certificates for Small Websites? · · Score: 1

    I'm using Mozilla 1.1, and the form is encrypted in both cases you mentioned. Guess it must be some browser problem...
