  1. Re:What's the point of OC? on TechTV Cracks Open The Xbox · · Score: 0, Informative

    Have you even read any reviews of for example Halo? When the going gets tough, the xbox drops its framerate considerably. Perhaps it will alleviate this problem..

  2. Question on Sir-tech Canada Releases Wizardry 8 · · Score: -1

    What I also loved about Wizardry 7 were quite a few hours I spent on the manual, reading it, rereading parts, mainly about the species/classes/skills and getting great characters.
    The question is: I can't find any info on what is included in the boxed set. I know there is a manual in there, but what kinda manual is it? Nice and thick? With a lot of info on species/classes/skills/etc??
    Anyone that has it want to help me out?
    I mailed sir-tech, but didn't get a response!
    I wanted to know this, and whether there would be a limited or deluxe edition or so. I don't want no PDF's, I want a damn book!

  3. Re:But Will You Buy It? on Tribes2 and Alpha Centauri for Linux · · Score: 1

    What use is buying 2nd hand games on E-bay going to do for Loki? They depend on the real sales THEY get.

    Not really YOUR 2 cents eh :)
    Oh well I guess the effort should count :)

  7. Eavesdropping on High-Speed Wireless LANs Move Forward · · Score: 2

    Wireless LANS are still not suited for real use. They can be eavesdropped. Apart from that, there are stories where the someone from across the street (with it's own wlan) logs in on the network in a building on the other side of the street (which was supposed to be high-security). They could see all domains etc etc.
    The case I remember was where some computer-magazine was testing wlans and they saw the entire domains of the hospital (or some other medical facility) on the other side of the street..
    I'm staying aways from these things...
    Plus I think there's enough waves going thru my head already..

  8. What a coincidence on Microsoft Cracked · · Score: 1

    That just a few days ago they somehow managed to get Office2000 running onder WINE MOOHAHAHA

  9. Looks excellent on Rocket Arena For Quake 3 Arena Released · · Score: 1

    I took a look at the screenshots, and it looks totally rockin'. Too bad I just have a voodoo2 and can't get these kind of pictures. RA is the only Quake-variant I ever played. Never much did like normal Quake deathmatch and all. Doom2 RULES

  10. Re:uhhh on Pre-KDE 2.0 Progress Report · · Score: 1

    hmmm Might be.. Kinda depends on how it's all done :) I donnow.. I'm all for the "less mem/cpu consumption". Like I said in a previous (redundant) post, gnome/kde use too much resources if you ask me. I got 64mb and I always thought that was plenty, but when I started running gnome/kde/win2k it just broke down like a madman... I would like to see a new IMPROVED version that uses LESS cpu/mem. now THAT"s a new version, not all those stupid kiddie-improvements of nice and shiny buttons and all.

  14. uhhh on Pre-KDE 2.0 Progress Report · · Score: 1

    Other enhancements to the panel include extended configurability and a feature that allows you to select which 'applets' you trust to run inside it. If you download a new applet and it crashes, taking the panel with it, you can tell the panel to stop trusting it, which means the applet will only be able crash itself in future! Uhhh... Why not NEVER trust it. What's the use in trusting it in the first place if you can ALWAYS have the applet running (and crashing) without taking the panel with it... Just a thought?

  15. Re:ipchains/iptables? on ISPs And Router Security · · Score: 1

    Hmmm I don't know if it's all so linear as you say. I don't have enough knowledge (right now? :)), it might just as well be the exponential or a lot less than linear. Perhaps anyone else is willing to explain it. Or perhaps you KNOW it and stuff but oh well :) But uhm, most of those HIGH-speed ISPs don't really bother with a p3 700hmz (155mbit or 655mbit stuff), but they have multiple CPUs/clusters, non i386 etc etc But hey, what do I know :) Tubby

  16. ipchains/iptables? on ISPs And Router Security · · Score: 1

    This might be a completely dumb post, but uhm, with my linuxgateway I simply use ipchains/iptables. And uhm.. Well, from what I read somewhere (ipchains-HOWTO I think), a dx2/66 can do a whopping 2mbit/s.. So slowdown shouldn't be a problem...
