  3. Re:Reality shows aren't on Nasubi - The Ultimate Survivor · · Score: 1

    Actually, the original idea is British. It was just implemented first by a Swedish production company.

  4. MDI is nice on Mozilla 0.9 Out · · Score: 1

    The MDI interface is exactly why I like Opera. No more clutter on the task bar when I have 10 browser windows open!

    Also, Opera remembers what windows it had open last time it ran. When Netscape crashed I just had to try to remember which windows I had opened, with Opera I just restart and I'm back to where I were.

    Opera still has a bunch of bugs and crashes every now and then (just like Netscape), but because of the feature I mentioned above, it isn't as much of an event as a Netscape crash. I'd highly recommended Opera to those who haven't yet tried it.

  5. Er, no. on Palm Teases With Slim, Pretty New Models · · Score: 1

    The peripherals you list connect to the "new Universal Connector" (aka the hot sync port at the bottom), NOT to the card slot.

    You're barking up the wrong tree... Monty is responsible for Ogg, not XMMS.

  7. Re:Web Standards on Web Standards Project: Upgrade, Or Miss Out · · Score: 1

    So don't download Netscape 6 then.

    Opera 5 is the browser I use for my everyday browsing now, and it's just a 2 MB download...

  11. Huh? on Slashback: Feathers, Worms, Happy Returns · · Score: 1

    deleting things of importance (how about .doc, .xls, .dll, and .exe files)

    ZipSlack oopsing in /dev is a kernel bug, if I remember correctly... Compile the latest kernel, that should fix it.

  15. Blitz Basic! on Young Irish Scientists Win Award for Linux Project · · Score: 1

    Cool, they used Blitz Basic in UAE.
    I bought BB2 for my Amiga 500Plus years ago, and I have to say that it's definitely one of my all-time favorite programming languages & environments.
    Super-fast compiled programs, inline assembler, pointers, etc...

  16. An Article about this on AOL's Upgrade of Death · · Score: 1

    Here's an interesting article which explains file protection and private DLLs:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/isapi/msdnlib2.idc?theUR L=/library/techart/dlldanger1.htm.

    Kind of ugly hacks, but I guess ugly hacks are what's needed due to Windows' badly designed DLL system...
