    Okay, this has got to be Shoeboy
    Bzzt. Sorry. Thanks for playing. Shoeboy only has one additional accout (mafiaboy) and is definitely not vladinator. I'm not cool enough to be vlad.

  2. I will not make obvious jokes on UK Passes Surveillance Law For ISPs · · Score: 1

    I am not going to use the phrases "connecting to an open socket" or "interfacing with an open port" as the basis for lewd sexual jokes in this post.
    Really, I'm not.
    It wouldn't be funny if I did anyway.

    I love Vlad
    Vlad loves me

    So there won't be a hug
    Or a kiss from me to you

    Now cry boo hoo.

    Can you do me a favor?
    My karma has gotten too high. I need to drop it by about 20 points. Please go into my user info and start moderating down my previous comments. Don't worry about the moral implications, I'm clearly abusing the +2 bonus and deserve what I get.

    Smoking Joe,

    Ok, what's with the hostility here. I come from a windows background ok. Hell, I used to work for microsoft. Is it unreasonable to assume that a file supposedly containing a screenshot is an image format?
    This kind of unix wookie elitism is what turns a lot of people off of adopting linux. Fortunately the freebsd community seems a lot more helpful and humble.

  13. Re:Any modern CPU can encode MP3 "on the fly". on SETI@Home -- Running On A PCI Card · · Score: 2

    It's cute, but it's not much good when the OS doesn't support SMP and as a result the only application that can take advantage of multiple procs is photoshop.
    What'd be much nicer than a dual g4 would be a dual k7 since the k7's got an essentially equivalent fp unit, adequate SIMD extensions, twice the clock speed, has better vid card support and isn't crippled by MacOS 9.

  14. Re:Any modern CPU can encode MP3 "on the fly". on SETI@Home -- Running On A PCI Card · · Score: 2

    Ah yes, but what about encoding multiple mpeg-2, realvideo, quicktime and microsoft media player streams simultaneously. Doing that in realtime will tax most processors. Sometimes you want multiple processors with SIMD on each one. Don't write off special purpose hardware. Dedicated encoding boards similar to this exist, and they've got a huge advantage over using a general purpose computer.

    For those of you that didn't understand cybersonic's post, here's a translation:

    very very cool :) i own over 60 titles from ADV films :)
    Translation: I am a loser, my vast collection of anime gives me something to do when I'm not playing D&D or masturbating.

    all i REALLY want is Cutey Honey and Slayers movies (all of em) on DVD!
    Translation: Sometimes I combine my masturbation and anime habits. Espescially when watching la blue girl.

    oh... and Bubblegum Crisis 2040 on DVD would kick ass as well.. its SUCH a good quality anime, and in a digital format, would look great on my big screen tv
    Translation: The last time I got laid there was a republican in the white house.

    DVD of Variable Geo would rock too... i dont have too many requests, do i? :)

  21. Re:Interesting... on Towards The Anti-Mac Interface · · Score: 3

    I have the Anti-Christ interface on my box. All buttons are in the shape of inverted pentagrams. The user interface is best described as non-euclidean madness that appears to emanate from somewhere behind the screen. The context sensitive help contains passages from the necronomicon and the tech support number appears to be manned by crazed minions of Nyarlathotep.

    It's not terribly usable, but the increase in speed now that I've started mousing and typing with the tentacles growing out of my face more than makes up for the lack of a consistent desktop metaphor.

    If the makers played fair and made the disks for Region 1 and Region 2 more alike, we wouldn't need to crack our players to play Region 1
    And if you didn't buy them at all, the makers would have an incentive to play fair.
    The whole /. attitude on DVDs reminds me of people who drive Suburbans with Greenpeace bumper stickers. Maybe you should fly to Norway and rough up Jon Johansen just to make the extent of your support of the DVD CCA clear.
