  1. Re:missing option on Standard Web Fonts 'Updated' In Vista · · Score: 1

    If you use these fonts as a web developer you are flipping the bird the everyone else that don't have these fonts. Testing pages in IE7 with xp is enough, no need to waste more space with a huge vm disk for vista just for fonts that no one has.

    Out of the iso my ubuntu install fonts are up to par with my mac. Meanwhile my xp machine at work fonts look terrible now that I'm used to mac and linux and my soon to parted out vista box is just slightly better but no where near the mac or linux.

    Truth. Consolas is my monofont everywhere. Its the best programming font I have ever found. The rest of the fonts though are quite meh.

  4. Re:Not quite right, I think on Vivendi Calls iTunes Contract Terms "Indecent" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    UMG is pissed that both old and new music is cheap at iTunes. They want all music to be more expense and new music being the highest priced.

    Meters are put in high demand parking areas to increase the turnover of parking spots, thus increasing parking availability.

    And this is a story how? Why should a city remove meters because the business is Apple. If Apple doesn't want to deal with the meters they shouldn't have put the store there.

  8. Re:Does it fix the js yet? on Opera 9.5 Beats Firefox and IE7 As Fastest Browser · · Score: 1

    It also says the its javascript performance in 9.2 was already twice as fast (542ms for 9.2 vs 900-1500ms for FF) as FF and IE which is a lie. Secondly its test in an artificial test page as opposed to live pages found on the web, its just BS to try a pimp a new version of not good enough.

  9. Does it fix the js yet? on Opera 9.5 Beats Firefox and IE7 As Fastest Browser · · Score: 1

    I used Opera 9.0 as my main browser for 1 month and stopped using because javascript performance was TERRIBLE. Sites like armory.worldofwarcraft.com run very slow and are almost unusable. Until opera can at least keep pace with the javascript performance FF and IE it's NOT faster.

  10. Re:Aghhh on Google Launches First YouTube Ads · · Score: 5, Informative
    Maybe someone should link an article with some real information about the ads:

    The ads, which appear 15 seconds after a user begins watching a video clip, take the form of an overlay on the bottom fifth of the screen, not unlike the tickers that display headlines during television news programs.
    This is a different kind of ad, just like Google changed ads on the internet they are changing commercials in video.

  12. Re:Netscape won't show the .png screenshots! :-( on AtheOS · · Score: 1

    Yes, Quicktime is a pain, but you can remove the png mime type from quicktime. Just open the Quicktime control panel, click the mime type button and scroll through the list until you get to the two png types. Then double click on the cross and close and reboot, (damn windows) and you got native png for Netscape and IE.

    Speed my good man speed. When I installed the 6.3-beta. It was much faster than 4.0. Plus q3test will work and you don't need hacks for realaudio and stuff of the like.

    Or maybe I do it because I want a faster binaries not ones complied for an i386. Not to mention you might learn something about the system. I'd didn't know crap when I used RedHat, no I can get an admin job with ease. Oh I just goto end this one with SysV scripts are cryptic debugging nightmares. I can read all my BSD scripts easily and modify them and see what's wrong when I screw up. Ok enought flaming for now.

    That's a damn good idea that started the rat on the wheel in my head. How about windows that fade to a light translucent state when you click on a new current window. So you can see more desktop and less cluter. I would expect to see it in enlightenment soon. hehe

    How abount some MPEG acceralation. I haven't seen a board with mpeg accel in linux. All we got is mtv for mpegs and your have to pay for it.

    Next note, why are most of you here crying that it 's not enough? It's a step in the right direction. The drivers will be open sourced more than i can say for Nvida. We won a small battle lets cheer the company, before we flame them for not doing enough, now.

  23. Re:Hate to admit it, on John Carmack Answers · · Score: 1

    These are all good things to do, but isn't it a lot of work, time, and money? Careful test means lots of time and man power. Why is it so hard to get a stable NT server? Why can't you just install config and sit back and watch your uptime rise? Does a small/medium size business want to spend the cash and manpower for boxes from compaq and manpower reviewing software. No, they want to get work done, now.
