errr... dude, you wouldnt want to read the post first would you? thats what he wants to do... skip the middle man, use a dc atx powersupply.. he said the inverters use too much power.. read it again.
whats all the hype about the X box? itl just be another console.. its not going to take over the pc, its not going to help microsoft defeat linux.. itl just win over console users.. not pc users.. i dont get what all the hype is about, gee, its another console, not some uber pc killer...
three obvious ones:
* web browsers (mozilla, konq, etc)
* window managers/environments (kde, sawfish etc)
* office programs (god star office has a terrable GUI!!!)
but mate, its the entire phylosiphy of the thing.. the government fucks with me, they loose another IT dude that can bring the country another couple of hundred grand a year:)
copy and paste letters from words with your middle mouse button (or whatever it is in ur os)..
eg, password "fruit"
take an f from "firewall" r from "reply" etc..:-)
Ok, this question has been raised before.. but basically never answered..
Im an Aussie, and im getting sick and tired of these stupid laws that Alston keeps passing to do with the net, and how he never helps internet business...
So... as soon as I get my uni degree, im outa here.. Where can I move? Somewhere were the government is reltivly intelligent, but not broke or curropt. Somewhere where its not illigal to play my DVD's or backup my cd's to mp3's. Somewhere that embraces IT, and has alot of jobs avaialable..
Where can I live? I'd like to think it was Australia.. but unless they fix up these stupid laws, not a chance!!
that you can make money just by taking out lones you never have to pay.. and that by the year 2030 we will have big ugly buildings that tens of thousands of people live in... (simcity)
i also learnt from the sims that if you do enough dishes and cooking you can score any chick you want! (the sims)
Hmm.. im wondering.. with the massive growth in online games recently, we have seen a huge increase in the number of cheats made (hacks).. There are hunderds of cheats for the most popular game Counter-Strike around, as well as lots of possible cheats for Diablo 2.
But, this game will probably be extremerly volnerable. Reading through the material, it seems that the game is played both on the net, and on your single pc.. where you actually play the SAME game.. for example, you login, you train your critter, destroy a few villages etc.. then, you log off the net, and you can continue to train your critter and get your villagers to worship you.. You then log back on, and you still have your newly trained critter and lots of worshiping power that you got when you were offline...
So... it seems it would be quite easy to hack.. someone could simply create a hack that gives your critter the ultimate strength and intellegience and makes all your peasents love you...
what means do the game writers have to stop this? none that i can think of....
Using a mouse driver set called 'JAM' and IMWheel, you can bind your 4th and 5th (6/7 if you count the wheel) normal buttons to the Thumb button, which IMWheel can then use to emulate a keypress...
Basically.. over with my howto of LHL I was able to play CS with: Mouse 1, 2, 3. Mousewheel up/down and the two thumb buttons - only constraints: the thumb buttons pressently act as one button, because of IMwheel, the guy that wrote IMWheel and JAM is also going to write XWheel which will support much more buttons. Also, its kinda hard to get working, still some bugs.. but if people start using it, then maybe he can get some help from other developers!
itd be nice if when 'new software releaces' are posted on slashdot if we could get a changelog / whats now url.. so we can look at it and go "oooo i cant wait to have that!"

yer, i love it when it takes 8 minutes for my streaming video to pause, and another 8 minutes for it to start again:-)
why on earth does mozilla not let me link my <a href="mailto:blah"> to another app? this just seems absolutely stupid!
cause honestly, who would want to use mozilla mail when you could use something like pronto.

"Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk ?"
kuro5hin would be ok if it wasnt SO GOD DAMN DIFFICULT to type in there url without getting it wrong all the time! and also, if they had a better theme.
"Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk ?"
How was i not forced to leave? i _needed_ broadband for work, and frankly they didnt have it (they are rolling out ADSL atm but its extremerly expensive!).. so, unfortunatly i had to go for a big ISP with cable.
cheers

"Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk ?"
I know exactly what you mean - sometimes its not even being shut down, but being pushed out of the market.
In Australia, the "big 4" isps dominate the market, deciding bandwidth costs for the smaller ones, and basicall last year i was forced to leave my nice friendly isp, were they knew me by name, there was a closly nit group of people on the newsgroups and irc channels from that isp.. i was forced to leave because of the costs that they offered ($35au - for 250mb 56k VS $70au - unlimited cable - 100kb cap)...
I still look forward to the day i can come back to them (if/when they get adsl) - but im not sure they can survive much longer - with the current rate of customers leaving, and probably before long the big take overs happening in the US will come here..
im afraid, in this commercial free market economy this is bound to happen, until we have only one or two big companies in each industry, thats what is so wrong with the current economic systems, and there is nothing we can do!
"Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk ?"
Ok, i think that all you people rambling about "what about 1 click shopping" are missing the point..
becuase, the thing would have to be INTELIGENT!..
for example, say if im on slashdot.org and there is an add for thinkgeek, pointing to the "thinkgeek.com" domain, ofcourse it wouldnt get that - as that is on a different domain..
if it looks like a big message board, with lots of links, ofcourse it wouldnt follow it.
also, itd have to have a selectable read-ahead level - default would be only 1 level - hence if i did it on slashdot, it would goto the "read more's" - and a few others, but owuldnt KEEP GOING..
there is so much more intelegience it could have - eg, if it discovered on slashdot i never clicked the "rob's page" link, it would stop getting that after a while..
and ofcourse, to save space, these links would have a low expiry time (30min)..
shouldnt be to hard to implement into squid, maybe theres a plugin somewhere.,.

I dont get why they will go sick over it though.,. its not like we go around kiling the animals, we use them
