    Yah, or the vacuum cleaner from MS that doesn't suck.

  2. Re:No one "protected" me on U.S. Government Wants Google Search Records · · Score: 1


    Yah, and we all know that the internet is for p0rn anyway. Who let these damn youngsters on our collective stash (a.k.a. "the internet") anyway?
    </humor>

    All kidding aside though, I was never "protected" as well. I think "they" don't want children to access pornography because it might cause some embarassing questions from said children to said adults about certain facts of life. It's not the end of the world if a kid happens onto porn. As long as there is someone to explain what the hell is going on and that stuff that happens in pornography does not necessarily reflect reality.

    NOTE: I'm not advocating that children should be forced into porn. If they're curious about it, let them look. I can understand that a 4-year old might not at all be interested, but a 12-year old might be curious (start of puberty yada yada). Beware of the forbidden-fruit effect. If you explicitly forbid it, it becomes more and more interesting.

    According to that article it also has clicky keys. Woowoo. Anyway, nothing to consign my lovely type-M IBM keyboard (bless it's blucking spring innards) to the trash for.

    Manager? Sheesh no.

    Sure I can set my phone to vibrate. But a better bet is to have one person of the team on standby and not in the theater so I can turn that infernal thing off for a change. I go to the movies to escape real life, not to have an umbillical attached to the real world (phone). That and the seats near the isle suck.

    When the company has drinks somewhere, I just keep my phone on and bring a laptop with wifi and bluetooth (for when there's no wifi around, and yes, such places exist in .nl) so I can retire to a quiet corner and solve the problem when things start to collapse. Not that that happens that often though :)

    Back on-topic though, the six versions of azureus is just the packaging. The .jar will run basically everywhere you can get a jvm for.

    Yes. They wanted to do this with QuakeWorld. The code was there, but nobody used it. You could use a teleporter to "teleport" to another server.

    I'm not a atl developer, but more of a unix guy. But I have dabbled with delphi. I did such a thing once by getting the hdc as a canvas and rendering to that. I don't know if delphi uses the MFC, but their VCL is a damn sight easier to mess with.

    I assume you mean that hdc is a device context like, say, the desktop?

  23. Re:Libranet is one of few on Libranet On The Rocks · · Score: 1

    Webmin's "problem" for me at least is that it offers an interface through a browser. Those things aren't always available, and adminning a box remotely (across the internet) with webmin is something I'd rather avoid.

    Adminmenu's strength is that it's a loose application that doesn't need another application to access it. Yes, it's X, but one only needs the X libraries and X through ssh tunneling will do the rest.

    ... Lycorix, Peanut Linux, Slack, FreeBSD, Pink Tie linux ...

    FreeBSD is _NOT_ Linux. Just so you know. But you had trouble getting FreeBSD going? Odd.

    (Back ontopic) Otherwise I sympathise. I once installed Libranet, and the adminmenu certainly is impressive. It's sad to see this one go.
