    Here is something interesting from Google.. it's from the construction industry, but I think it would apply to all industries.

    Does google.de work? google has a lot of .country-code suffixes, although they share mostly the same IP. Try one of 216.239.35.100, 216.239.37.100, 216.239.39.100, 216.239.33.100

    Hmm I did nslookup 216.239.35.101 as well, it said that's www.google.com as well (although nslookup google.com returned *.*.*.100 not 101, so perhaps they didn't block it. Try and experiment. 102 and 103 seem to work as well.

  5. Re:Microsoft on Venezuela Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    I wonder.. Peru's Open-source law was only a proposal when it got announced, not yet a real law, but Venezuela must have caught MS off-guard by simply declaring the law before MS had a chance to hear about the proposal and offer some people some money so that it could go away and not be law.

    It's like a game of XBill, but now it's Bill playing to prevent countries from adapting Linux, with money! And I sure hope he loses.

    Well it did reach earth, but who knows, if that butterfly had flapped its wings differently back then, the meteor could have gone into a thunderstorm instead of a clear day, and the storm would have blown it onto a course that lead to the meteor landing somewhere else.. or because the butterfly did something different, this girl would be standing somewhere else as the meteor fell to the spot.

    If you're playing Divx files (with Codec 5.02), you can go File, Properties, Advanced tab, select "Divx Decoder Filter" from the list, open the Quality Setings tab, and there it is, brightness control. Under Codec 4.x it was one less step (no need to click Quality Settings)

    It's a bit hard to get to, but if you install Nimo Codec Pack you get a nifty tray icon with which you can open that "Divx Decoder Filter" window directly.

    This feature isn't there for MPEG files though, but the benefits of mplayer2's (almost) zero startup time outweighs the costs.

Sure, bomb Iraq, you have a full-scale war of the US vs. Islam. Not the West vs. Islam, no one in Europe feels like starting a war this time around, except maybe that Bush follower in England.

    If you people weren't all so lazy and worthless, we wouldn't have all the money, nukes and good looking women.

  17. Re:This is a bit silly on "Fastest Browser On Earth" Cuts Crud · · Score: 1

    I'd check for spyware if I were you. But yeah, it takes 5 or so seconds for IE to render a page on my box, and in Opera it takes nothing, I usually open links in a new tab in the background, which is great, it doesn't interrupt my reading of the current page. IMO, Opera is a lot faster than Mozilla too, Mozilla has its own window-toolkit, and it's a lot less responsive. Just like Winamp3 with its own toolkit, makes for a lame slow program
    Or perhaps my CPU is under-powered, gah can't believe it, 0.9 GHz, that must be pretty "low" by today's standard. In any case, I'm writing this in Lynx while waiting for Gentoo to install KDE3.. :)

  19. Re:Good news for Home Linux on Telstra Considers 45,000-Seat Linux Deployment · · Score: 2, Interesting

    To further Hektor's question, is there a (preferrably easy) way to hack X so that selecting text doesn't copy it? The thing with Opera happens to me a lot too, Konquerer even has a button to clear the address line, something definitely not needed in Windows.

    Perhaps a program can be written that would see a Ctrl-C (or any other combination) and copy whatever is being selected at the moment, and wait for Ctrl-V to insert whatever is in its buffer. But it would be yet another clipboard, and some would find it fascinating/moronic when you realize that after higlighting some text, it would be in X's clipboard, and when you press Ctrl-C, it would be in some other clipboard as well..

    I did a bit more surfing and found it, that's a pretty nice thing, all metal-brushed like that, looks nicer than the Klax one too, but I don't think the site I'm looking at (watercooling.de) stocks the Koolance block, and it would be expensive if I have to get it from outside of Germany. Aah, Koolance does have partners in Germany, it's just that their menu doesn't show up in Opera, made me wonder how I was supposed to get into their Product Listing.

    Try Gsview for Windows, but true, it won't do you much good if you have no control of your system.. Bill Gates has control of it.
