  1. Re:Corporate Thinking or Public Service? on J# · · Score: 1

    You are quite right. My mistake.

    Interdev 1.0 was utter nonsense, and Interdev 6 is nearly as useful as a Chocolate teapot.

    As you rightly point out, it is gone from VS.net. ASPX files can be created from within VS.net, which does a better job of providing a single Devenv, not a collection of programs that barely look the same.

  2. Re:Corporate Thinking or Public Service? on J# · · Score: 1

    Blackbird was a publishing tool for MSN, not MSN itself.
    Blackbird eventually became Visual Studio.

  3. Re:Old News... on UK Issues High-tech Stamps · · Score: 1

    I hope I'm not the only person here that understands that.

  4. Re:How about OS's that should be brought back? on Niche Operating Systems · · Score: 1

    the Amiga having PMT explains a lot.

  5. Re:Don't forget on UK Issues High-tech Stamps · · Score: 3, Funny

    Don't lick the Turing stamp, it has a strange apple/Cyanide flavour to it.

    Huh?

  7. Jet Set Radio Future on XBox Delayed · · Score: 1, Redundant

    That is why I'm buying an X-Box.
    I think JSR is one of the best games I have ever played. I can wait another few months if I have to.
    BTW, If the XBox delay bothers anyone and they haven't played Jet Grind/Set Radio, buy a Dreamcast & JS/GR. It will keep you going for 2 weeks while you wait.
    Anyway, it must be about 10 dollars for a DC nowadays.

  8. Seconded on Developing for the Playstation 2? · · Score: 1

    There's quite a bit of useful information(Boob has some good links in addition to the aforementioned) out there and it's got some great games. Bangai-o is especially worth, errm, researching.

  9. Re:Left Handed on New Joystick Style Ergo Mouse · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm left handed, but I was forced into using a mouse with my right hand during my time at University.
    I find it easier this way, and it has the added bonus of being able to write while using the mouse.

  10. Try here on Attacks On US Continued Reports · · Score: 1

    robots.cnn.com And now I have to put something here because the postercompression filter sucks.

  11. Re:an Apache port to rubber bands and plastic? on European Commission Recommends OSS to Fight Echelon · · Score: 1

    Your post is in there, as well as here.
    Weird, huh?
    Even better, the above apparently violated the postercomment compression filter. Comment aborted. Lameness filter encountered.

  12. Re:Brazil & Licensing on Requiring Software Freedom · · Score: 1

    That should say 'If they _don't_ respect drug licensing laws'.

  13. Brazil & Licensing on Requiring Software Freedom · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't the Government of Brazil just pirate Windows?
    If they respect drug licensing laws, why should they respect software ones?

  14. Re:Too Bad on Gamecube: Launch Delayed, Logo Added · · Score: 1
    4. Dreamcast $79
    Absolutely. I really recommend getting Samba & the Maracas though. And Bangaio, it's fantastic.
  15. Re:Retro gaming takes off on MAME on X-Box · · Score: 1

    If it doesn't support CDRs, that's not such a bad thing. It does support Broadband, and I guess it won't be too hard to run your own programs from the HDD, providing they can get there somehow.

  16. Re:A Gaming Machine? Which OS? on The New Athlons · · Score: 1
    you talk about playing "Black & White" (which I believe is only playable on a windows partition).
    For me, that would be reason enough to remove a Windows partition.
    If Peter Molyneux had vomited in the game box it would have been more enjoyable.
  17. For one night only, its Doug Michels & Ransom Love on Doug Michels & Ransom Love speak pre-Caldera Forum · · Score: 0

    Wasn't that the name of the Cocktail Lounge type band in The Blues Brothers?

  18. If you can't beat them, offer them a job on HDCP Encryption Cracked, Details Unreleased Due To DMCA · · Score: 1

    It just seems stupid to persecute people for demonstrating insecurities/flaws/idiocy in DMCA products. Why aren't they being offered jobs to strengthen the product, rather than persecution for proving bad implementations?

  19. Re:Duplication on HDCP Encryption Cracked, Details Unreleased Due To DMCA · · Score: 1

    Consider this Tivo story.
    Hacker A cracks the code, tells the world he won't release it, 6 months later Hacker B releases it. I see history repeating.

  20. Re:Protect this on Right to Post Anonymously Protected · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It knows who you are. If you moderate and then post anonymously(via the checkbox) in the same thread, your moderation is undone.

    The freedome is an Open Source version of the Thunderdome from Mad Max.

    Win 2K installs IIS as default without telling the user.
    Unless you are installing Win2K server, it doesn't install IIS. If you are installing Win2K Professional(aka Workstation), you have to explicitly select IIS for install.

    This isn't going to be good, mutant ice cream will soon inherit the Earth.

  24. It has banned it's own clients too on Napster Bans Non-Native Clients · · Score: 1

    I still use Beta 6 and cannot get on Napster now, but I start up Napigator and choose a server from there, double click and I'm connected. Not being able to get on the Napster network is no great loss, it has been useless for months.

  25. Re:what about games? on Round Table On Approaches To Source Code · · Score: 1

    You might want to avoid Black and White, unless your idea of fun is equivalent to most people's ideas of crushing tedium. All the worst parts of Populous combined with a Tamagotchi. Whoo-fuckin-hoo. I hear Deus Ex is good though.
