Someone avoided performance optimizations on openhatch.org If you have tough time deciding if you should do those, ask slashdot - that will clear up things!
My bet is that ISP will see that someone is trying to do a test on that single site and just give it higher priority and such. Gonna turn into bullshit survey, not much different from when it would be infested by/b/tards.
That wasn't its purpose. It could be (kinda) a side effect, but the purpose was to make R&D into profitable business. Imagine a company investing 400 million dollars into some research. Finally completing it just so that some1 else could take it, reverse-engineer for a few bucks and create "competition", but without the cost of R&D, so he could have lower prices. Yeah, thats competition in your face right there!
You can always ignore and play and in the end you could just kick his ass and laugh, since often weak dogs bark. Playing against NPC seems to be rather boring to me and can last for 24 hours tops, after that its tiring.
They are baddie here. Banks probably don't have any issues with transferring funds to/from India. PayPal refuses to register as a bank and thus they get this issue. On the other hand, they are registered as a bank in EU and don't have any problems anymore. So perhaps they don't care about India that much? Don't blame them [India] for wanting to know what is happening with their own currency/finances.
If thats so, then they are reinventing wheel, since there is already PHP compiler available, with is also open source: http://www.roadsend.com/home/index.php
Well, if you google for the name, in first result description you can read "A private company founded by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth for the promotion of Ubuntu and other free software projects.". I'm not sure why comment on that? If you are geek, you should've known that name or at least know how to find out.
I really doubt that it will be available outside US. Look at other products where Google needs some kind of deal with other company in order to provide service: Nexus One? No Sir, you can't buy it. Google Voice? Sir, you must be kidding. Only the Chosen Aryan race can have it, and that would be US residents. On YouTube there is even certain polish band, with we in Poland can't watch, since their distributor doesn't allow that... beat this.
As a side note, I'm trying for a few days now to legally buy a certain song made by The Guild, but every site I come by says, its not available in my region, or - usually - its only available in US. I pretty much asked their distributor if I need to pirate it in order to have it, wonder what they say.
It really feels like companies treat people outside of USA like second rate humans, and for that (and many others) I came to extreme hate towards USA.
On my box it was written, that game requires steam account in order to activate. So I made sure it works for me before I bought it. Just because your are used to certain things, doesn't mean that they will stay the same. And so are retail games - sometimes they could require online activation, not necessary via website. Hell - I even had to activate online my Sound Blaster control panel.
There are some hardcore cheats. Like for example this Domination game http://i45.tinypic.com/rausfn.jpg Those 2 dudes were using AC130 105mm cannon like a machine gun and they obviously didn't leave after people complained, they just laughed. Sometimes when u respawned u were already dead, not that funny on my side. I hear this was actually some kind of bug in game, that was patched, but I guess not good enough? Anyway, ticket with steam support is pending for 2 days now, wonder if they have at least some kind of logs of what happens in those games... Whats best is that they claim they don't accept cheaters reports, cause their anti-cheat system is flawless or sth and they rely only on that @_@
As for the aimbots, I can never be sure. Sometimes I think its inhumane what they are doing, but when I see my co-worker play, I start to doubt that and just blame it on my lack of skill. If they are using aimbots, then usually u can't really tell, unless your some kind of terminator.
I can also confirm, that in domination nukes aren't that frequent. Perhaps 5% of games, and sometimes just for the fun at the end of game. I also saw people using nuke when they were actually loosing! I guess just for the achievement.
I've put DVD inside, installed it and typed CD-Key. Hey, that was it! Hooah! And: I have router. Router is connected to NATed LAN. The retail game I bought was in polish. I already had steam account, that I made without any issues whatsoever. AND you know what? When I come to work and there was time when I was really bored, I gave it a try - launched steam and in "My Games" there it was - MW2, just pressed install and it downloaded and installed game no problem!
Those issues you encounter are your own fault. You expect steam/game client to work its way thru default HTTP port or what? If you are blocking your own traffic on firewall, then expect shit to happen. If you don't, then I don't know what you are doing on/.
They could be providing auditing services. Advertising to whole IT world, that they found shitload of them might just say "Hey, we can check if your apps are safe, and perhaps recommend something better if they aren't."
For a few months now I had issues with both HD 3850 at home, and HD 4870 at work. It keeps probing my monitor for available modes, and that makes a lot of stuff slower/non-workin. Wine usage if out of question. At home I could still watch videos, its not possible at work tho. But at work I had more updated version of Linux, so perhaps thats why. Right now I'm using Windows as host for Virtualbox where I run my Ubuntu - it works better that way. Mind, that this error is also true for Gentoo (or it was a few months ago, when I ditched Linux at home). I think that ubuntu 7.10 works good with Radeons, so u might try that. Just don't update it (not just drivers, X as well). Anyway, Linux friendliness could be true, as I hear they are trying to open up documentation for their drivers so that community can make open-source ones better. But it doesn't mean, that right now Radeon drivers are better. At least not the one provided by AMD.
Thats why I don't buy from them and never will. I don't buy from nVidia either as I see them doing similar. So all my PC are now Phenom + Radeon (old one Athlon), even tho people say, that Intel is performing much better (could be lie?). If every1 would do the same, then we wouldn't even have to do that, since companies would avoid that kind of "competition" like fire or Orbital Ion Canon. How many of you use Intel products? I bet most! Money, money, money!
I think its bricked, when its as useful as a brick (or even less, cause you prob cant make a proper house with a bunch of bricked PS3). Doesn't require to stop flashing LEDs and stuff.
I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or you think this is true, but here: OVH, an European hosting company limits its offer to only a few European countries. And they have different price for each country, and sometimes different services. Of course, they say you can't choose product advertised for different country. Cant say if this is legal on not in EU... but so far they do this.
For some it doesn't matter. For example, if u are on linux, then it boils down to Boxee and... Boxee. (Assuming that crappy table in "conclusions" switched OS Support columns) If you are outside US, then again, it limits your choice. So, this might be relevant, but only for people living in US and using Windows.
Also, there are Linux only solutions, like for example MythTV, can't say about selection of videos there thou... I guess its small.
Opera usually doesn't go over 300 megs over days, but Firefox often goes to 1 giga in a matter of 2-3 days. Even if I close all tabs, it still hogs to this 1 giga. So I have to restert it, since I've got 2 gigs only. Weird thing is that I use Firefox only for its firebug and debugging of intranet software (I'm developer), while Opera is for the rest - I've got very weak intel graphic card, so Firefox doesn't work very well. But Opera isn't perfect either, when Firefox gets to it 1 gigs memory, Opera usually gets to its CPU eating process... not really sure why, but it just keeps my 2 cores at 100% until I restart it. I think it was the same for Opera 9.
I haven't tested FF3.5 for it yet, but if its fixed, then I'm gonna be happier:)
Last I checked, the G1 is only available through T-Mobile.
Old news. http://www.era.pl/pl/indywidualni/telefony/erag1
And it even doesn't have simlock, so I'm using it with carrier that actually sells its mobile internet with PC modems in addition to letting people use it in phones.
I'm using it since yesterday, and I had to disable Turbo mode, since all images were looking like crap, flash sometimes didn't work, some sites never finished loading (stopped at for example 18 element of out 25). But I guess that for dial-up (people still use that? @_@) or crappy Wi-Fi it might be good.
They don't need to be used in order to cause harm. Now, no one will stop Kim from doing whatever he wants. Not like they would "help" them anyway, since theres no oil there, but its a general idea.
Who knows if USA wouldn't have been invaded long time ago if not for their nukes. A lot of people hate them for good reasons, but can't "fix" them, cause they simply have nukes.
Chromium has fullscreen mode, and I saw something like Opera's form filling, it did asked to save password and then that input box got yellow borders, just like in Opera... but can't get it to actually fill them. Not sure about that improved New Tab Page, since I never saw that "non-improved" one. Flash doesn't work, websites with flash will try to load "forever" and just display blank page until then.
Anyway, I've got full HD resolution at work, and it runs on some crappy intel card without OpenGL support (or me not knowing how to enable one), with makes scrolling very choppy in Opera/Firefox, so I use Chromium for frequently used websites, that I don't mind to see ads. It has smooth scrolling in comparison to those 2 and renders much much faster.
I don't like its interface at all, but for my favorite sites - I don't need anything more, just fast display/scroll. So for me its not JackOfAllTrades browser, but its best at what they advertise it - speed, and thats where I put it into use. Don't really mind using yet another, I had open Firefox/Opera all the time anyway, one more doesn't make a difference... well, actually it does - in a good way:)
All that was on svn revision from 20090520rIdontRemember, ubuntu box (yeah, I use one at work T_T).

How do you define "wrong"? I for one like it when new tab is opened next to the current one, instead of the last. Am I liking it wrong?
