What, are you just completely redundant?
of course it has no relation: Plex86 DOES NOT RUN WINDOWS PROGRAMS.
IT ONLY RUNS WINDOWS.
Windows runs the windows programs. Plex86 runs windows.
This is NOT WINE.
There is no Microsoft or even microsoft-Like code in it.
I'm in some preview version release, the latest Debian had on hand when i installed linux abotu three hours ago because i was bored, and Flash works great...
Just realized that offsite linking to the vgmusic.com archives doesn't work, so click here and naviagte to NES music section. Journey to Silius is in the list.
That music sounds almost exactly like the original unless you have a wavetabele soundcard like me:D
Try the NSF version at this link here and get a player from zophar's domain. You can also find a lot more NES music there: this is one of the most comprehensive archives of NSF's i've found.

I have proudly posted this with my +1 bonus as an example of how willing I am to prove to you that you are stupid.
Because there is no proof that Jesus ever existed, it is imperative that you stop putting your religious adgenda out for the world to see.
Thank you, and I will most certainly appreciate this to be moderated to both Offtopic and Troll. Overrated does not apply because this sure as fuck won't be moderated up.
Well, MP3's sound fine to me. I listen to variable bitrate ones that I rip myself, usually, with max bitrate at around 320.
And I can't tell the difference between that and the CD on my $3000 sound system...
On 128kbps ones, sure. But 192 and higher, most people really _can't_ tell.
The only people who say they can tell are, as far as I see it, aloof audiophiles who are scared shitless that they aren't really getting their money's worth. These are the same people that cling to vinyl and say it's better than a CD.
Sorry, no. Sure, it might theoretically have a higher frequency response, but the human ear can only hear from 20 to 20000 Hz, which requires precisely CD quality sound. CD also allows for a little lower than that for big ol' subs.
So there's no point in going up to 100kHz audible range, because NOBODY EXCEPT MY CAT AND THE NEIGHBOUR'S YAPPING LITTLE DOG are going to get any advantage from it.
Reality: Linux Needs Real World Proof Points Rather than Anecdotal Stories
>> hmm, that's a cool refutation
The Linux community likes to talk about Linux as a stable and reliable operating system, yet there are no real world data or metrics and very limited customer evidence to back up these claims.
>> That would be a good thing to test then. The "uptime" command should come in handy.
Windows NT 4.0 has been proven in demanding customer environments to be a reliable operating system. Customers such as Barnes and Noble, The Boeing Company, Chicago Stock Exchange, Dell Computer, Nasdaq and many others run mission-critical applications on Windows NT 4.0.
Linux lacks a commercial quality Journaling File System. This means that in the event of a system failure (such as a power outage) data loss or corruption is possible. In any event, the system must check the integrity of the file system during system restart, a process that will likely consume an extended amount of time, especially on large volumes and may require manual intervention to reconstruct the file system.
>> JFS, and ReiserFS, should solve that problem really good. And JFS is commercial strength, cause it was in AIX.
There are no commercially proven clustering technologies to provide High Availability for Linux. The Linux community may point to numerous projects and small companies that are aiming to deliver High Availability functionality. D. H. Brown recently noted that these offerings remain immature and largely unproven in the demanding business world.
>> Not to sound like a troll, but BEOWULF:p... that's clustering. Or a load balancer...
There are no OEMs that provide uptime guarantees for Linux, unlike Windows NT where Compaq, Data General, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Unisys provide 99.9 percent system-level uptime guarantees for Windows NT-based servers.
>> Well, that one's sort of true, though there are startups forming. Someone find some examples!
Note: I didn't bother reading the story, or do I even care.
But this is not an Airboard! An airboard can be seen in Back to the Future part 2, in which Marty McFly played by that guy who shakes a lot, rides one.
Since when is PGP via email less secure then over DCC or ICQ or FTP or any other 3 letter protocol?
Carnivore doesn't brute-force PGP, does it? That would take a lot of work for the random chance of finding a keyword like "blow up the pentagon" or "al gore is an erectilly dysfunctional motherfucker".
Seriously, folks, PGP is secure enough for now. Pretty Good Privacy. And lots of people use it. Good nuff for me and maybe later I'll use something else, but it will probably just be public/private key like with longer keys.
Note that I am not disputing what this article says; i am an avid Gnutella user and it has certainly slowed down and become harder to get stuff.
but, Look at what the article says:
Unfortunately, we have found that Gnutella is not as scalable as the centralized Napster network.
Thanks, a lot, for telling us how this works. The problem is that, because connections to search for files travel through a gigantic web, finding what you want can take quite a while. And cancelling your search is a pretty flaky concept with this system, too.
I figure, seeing as how there are open-source client, and the article explains some client-side problems, the other clients could be updated to fix this. The other clients are probably better already anyways, so gnutella.wego.com could just reccommend the other client.
Then again, it doesn't really matter, becuase all anyone uses Gnutella for is to search for pr0n mpegs and asf's, right?
i an so fucking drunk right now.

"My fear is that the American consumer . . . walks away with a set that is fully capable of hooking up to cable but incapable of receiving any [over-the-air] signal," Ness said.
Susan Ness, who said that, is an FCC commissioner.
But the FCC is possibly precenting people from getting what they want to watch by restrcting the use of it through this piracy-protection thing...
Hypocrisy.
Can't wait until mod-chip.com starts selling TV mod chips...
Didn't the audio home recording act permit people to tape (record, whatever) whatever they wanted from TV and other broadcast media?
Doesn't that still apply?
And do they think it will stop anyone? Macrovision didn't stop anyone from copying VHS tapes, they just buy a little "video stabilizer" box. CSS hasn't much stopped anyone...
It's an x86 emulator. Darwin for x86 is an x86 program. Of course it works! If it _didn't_, THEN this would be interesting news.
This is like saying, "Super Mario World worked when CmdrTaco tried it on SNES9x for Linux!"
Of course it worked!
Now, it would be interesting if there were followups as to the chances of OSX for x86, etc, etc. But, why would there be? And even if there was, why would any of you Linux junkies want to go out and pay for it? Apple has always made the cash by selling the hardware too.

Suck my long hairy white cock.
You mean the Next interface, not the Windowmaker one. WM is a cheap rip off. NeXT at least had all the applications following the same design.
:D )
Go try a Next (or neXT or NeXT or whatever) out and come back to windowmaker and cry at how they butchered the finest interface ever made.
(i left out the crying part personally, but you seem to like windows so you must be a wussy

You guys are high performance!
...Canada has the best internet access in the world.
Really.
Especially BC, where I am. DSL is 1.5 megabit and cable is the same. Everyone can get cable if you live in a city (i mean, if your city has cable).
Canada has the highest percentage of broadband users per capita of internet users in the world.
This isn't huge news. It's just cool that Telus is finally putting it's huge resources to work.
I'm hoping for fiber to the house by 2010.

I think they missed one game for the Best Music category:

Journey to Silius.
Hold on while I find some links...

And why is my post a troll now, I thought it was funny.
originally i typed "mario kart" but then i realized, that doesn't work very well except in zsnes :)
I think that it follows the Klukluxian mode of naming.
The Klu Klux Klan devised this naming system, which should be obvious from the name above.
Obviously, African-Americans prefer Gnome.
I don't know if midgets do or not though.
I think African-American midgets probably just use Windowmaker.
