  1. I do have it. on Windows 2000 Runs On Xbox Under Linux · · Score: 2

    I'll go try again, but I'm sure I've got the right codec.

  2. How does the performance compare to a PC? on Windows 2000 Runs On Xbox Under Linux · · Score: 2

    So if you line the Xbox up against an equivalent PC, which one is faster running programs?

    If the Xbox is quicker, is it due to it's memory architechture? (sp?)

  3. Media Player only plays the visualization/audio on Windows 2000 Runs On Xbox Under Linux · · Score: 2

    How do I get the video?

    Is there better software for windows that can play AVIs?

  4. Did you play FF9? on Dell Partners with Square · · Score: 2

    I had a lot of fun with that game.
    It had a whole LOT of references to the pre-FF7 games.

  5. People, click the links! Nothing about crippleware on Bero Quits Red Hat Over Treatment of KDE · · Score: 2

    He's simply viewing the actions of making KDE act the same as Gnome is crippling it's functionality, NOTHING about crippleware!
    >>
    Hi,
    Effective immediately, I've left Red Hat (mostly in mutual agreement - I
    don't want to work on crippling KDE, and they don't want an employee who
    admits RH 8.0's KDE is crippleware).

    If anyone needs/wants to contact me, please use the addresses
    bero@berolinux.org or bero@kde.org.

    For any RH specific KDE issues, please contact Than Ngo .

  6. Doesn't that kind of take the fun out of life? on Purchase Your Personal Gene Map · · Score: 2

    I guess it could be fun to cheat death if you found out about something you had before it affected you.

  7. Maybe you're right. on Passenger Profiling: CAPPS II · · Score: 2

    I don't know if this system will help or hurt. All I can think of is that it seems a system like this could have possibly prevented the disasters of 9/11/2001.

    I guess it allows them to push the limits a little more every time they come up with something like this.

    Slightly OT: Do you have any links to documented information about people who died on death row and were proven innocent afterwards? I'd be interested in reading that.

  8. Re:I'm narrowminded but I'm honest... on Passenger Profiling: CAPPS II · · Score: 2

    It's not debunking "innocent until proven guilty."

    Instead it's simply mathmatically calculating risk to bring attention of those who might be crimial to someone's attention.

    Everyone's slamming me, but this is what the government is doing by hand already, now we're simply taking human error out of the picture. And we're INCREASING privacy by not letting a human look over everyone's personal info UNLESS the computer throws a flag and says "Hey, this person was in afghanistan 7 years ago and is wanted in two other countries for questioning."

    It's not saying that every person the computer notices is going to get thrown in jail or anything, it's simply saying that the computer is going to scan the info given to it without bias and look for possible baddies.

  9. Yes on Passenger Profiling: CAPPS II · · Score: 2

    Probably I will.

    If they're catching criminals then their system is obviously working right?

    I'm as concerned as the next person with privacy but I think there is still room for us to expand law enforcement without envading privacy.

  10. While I don't agree with his presentation on Passenger Profiling: CAPPS II · · Score: 2

    The anonymous author certainly has a colorful presentation to his post, but I agree with his general argument.

    All of us law abiding citizens have nothing to hide.

  11. I'm narrowminded but I'm honest... on Passenger Profiling: CAPPS II · · Score: 2

    I'm not going to be entering or leaving the U.S.

    I don't mind them scanning people entering and leaving one bit.

    In fact, if it means that they might catch one in a million people up to no good, more power to them.

  12. What about free-air subwoofers? on Build Your Own Subwoofer · · Score: 2

    They have no enclosure!

    Regardless, why is this a big deal? I used to build boxes back in high school. They usually sounded awful but not always. Just had to get them sealed up and calculate the dimensions properly.

    I had two JL 10W1's that sounded pretty good for a relatively cheap speaker.

  13. He built a bass tube not a subwoofer! on Build Your Own Subwoofer · · Score: 2

    That's nothing special is it?
    You can buy your own plans for tubes or boxes all over the place.

    A subwoofer is the actual speaker which he just popped into place right?

    You can even download software to help you download dimensions:

  14. Really slow site, but here you go: on CDROM-Based Virus Scanners? · · Score: 2

    http://www.free-av.com/ave.htm

    Of course this only works for Fat/Fat32.

    I don't know of any that would scan NTFS. You'd have to have some munged version of NT/Win2k boot off a CD and then run a virus scanner.

  15. Re:Indeed. on Nintendo Embedding Classic Games on Trading Cards · · Score: 2

    You're right... Mac does like Snes9x better, but x86 definately works best with Zsnes. I have yet to see a game that ran better on Snes9x.

    By now I would have thought the two projects would have completely merged.

  16. You can configure it. on A First Look At The Xandros Desktop · · Score: 2

    I used to have my system setup so I could hit control,shift,+ or - and go up or down between my programmed modes.

    Great fun.

  17. If SMC ROM files are any indication they are small on Nintendo Embedding Classic Games on Trading Cards · · Score: 2

    ROM sizes are usually 1mb, 2mb, or 4mb.

    Sometimes they are bigger, sometimes they are smaller.

  18. Answer on UT2003 LiveCD · · Score: 5, Informative

    LiveCD is a standalone bootable CD that you can pop in most newer computers, boot up and play the game.

  19. How does the FPS compare to Windows?? on UT2003 LiveCD · · Score: 2

    Is it just as quick or quicker?

  20. Roughly how much money did developers lose? on Talk To a Convicted Warez Guy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How much money would you say that developers lost because of your pirating ring?

    How much would you say all of the downloaded software was worth?

  21. As long as it's unobtrusive and doesn't interupt on Product Placement in Online Gaming · · Score: 2

    I'm for it as long as I can't tell it's an advertisement. Kind of like the way they do it in movies.

    It's especially cool if I can use hamburgers from mcdonalds as weapons.

  22. I post the same thing and get modded down. on Testing Products for Web Applications? · · Score: 2

    Jerk moderators modding me offtopic but why?

    It's the same information (I missed this post earlier.) plus an additional link to WCAT which is not easily found.

  23. Can someone explain to me how this is offtopic? on Testing Products for Web Applications? · · Score: 2

    I think it was exactly what he was asking for. A tool to test websites. Someone mod me back on topic please.

  24. I might get murdered, but Microsoft WAST does well on Testing Products for Web Applications? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I hope you guys don't slaughter me for saying that Microsoft did a decent job, but check out:
    WAST

    and

    WCAT

    They both seem to work really well and are freely available if you agree to the license. It's been a while since I've used them but I think they'll work fine with testing an apache or any other web server.

  25. Check this out... on Microsoft Word Security Flaw · · Score: 5, Interesting

    View some of the past word docs you've received in a hex editor...

    Near the bottom there is often information from other documents of the sender that they were recently working on. I don't know why it saves this. Maybe something to do with the undo buffer?

    At work I used to look at internal memos that would be sent out on a weekly basis and find out all sorts of other stuff that was going on.
