    It cuz they're for a handheld not a real computer. But yeah, they still do look like crap.

  2. My learning curve on Forth Application Techniques · · Score: 2

    So, uh, does anyone have a Fourth "Hello World" program yet?

    Preferably one that has email built into it.

    Maybe we'll luck out
    and they'll make the first
    26 subtitled and then redo
    it with the next 26 dubbed.

    Although if they just wanted to
    play the soundtrack everynight, I'd
    be okay with that too. I've even learned
    how to sing in Japanese, all because of CB.

  4. Turning Flash on and off on Flash Version of Adventure · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here a quick way to enable and disable flash at will. You can have it installed and not worry about it showing nothing but ads. The instructions are only for Windows2k and mostly for IE, but you should be able to adjust them for any windows version and mozilla.

    First, you must install flash on your system.
    Second, mark the "Downloaded Program Files" directory as read only. This can be found by clicking on Tools->Internet Options. Then click on Settings then View Objects. This will show you where the folder is. Normally it's under C:\Winnt\Downloaded program Files. So mark is as read only.
    Third, you need a back of the Flash.ocx file. So find it (normally c:\winnt\system32\macromed\flash) and copy it to a file named flash.ocx.bak.
    Fourth, you now setup two bat files to run simple cmds. I've called them enable.bat and disable.bat.

    Here's enable.bat:
    pause
    c:
    cd "c:\winnt\system32\macromed\flash"
    copy Flash.ocx.bak Flash.ocx
    You are able to run this program when IE or Mozilla is open. To see the Flash file, just hit refresh.

    Here's disable.bat:
    pause
    c:
    cd "c:\winnt\system32\macromed\flash"
    del Flash.ocx
    Obviously nothing special. This command can only be ran if IE is closed. It'll say "File in Use" if IE is open and on a flash site.

    For Mozilla, just goto Help and About Plugins. You find the Flash plugins and create similar bat files that copies and deletes it.

    Now, someone needs to create a toolbar plugin that can automate this with the ability to disable flash while IE is still open. Anyone up to the task?

    "Florida was plunged into its latest political cliffhanger Tuesday when polling stations opened late and elections workers had myriad problems with the new touchscreen voting machines. Many voters were confused by new precinct boundaries.

    In some places, ballots were chewed up by optical scanners and others were modified by hand. One Broward County precinct worker took ballots home after he couldn't reach elections officials.

    Florida had enacted new laws and spent $32 million to reform its election system, eliminating paper chads altogether and hoping to avoid other problems that held up the 2000 presidential election for seven weeks.

    Instead, hundreds of people complained they were turned away from the polls and many problems were reported in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, which were considered key by Reno's campaign. "

  9. Re:Stability? on Netscape 7.0 is Out · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I used to run into the same problem with long log out times when something crashed on Win2k. Ive found that having a backup administrator was very useful. Instead of logging out, you lock the workstation. Then when it gives you the message that only user or and admin, log in as the other admin and it'll quickly log you out without hurting anything.

  10. Why I Love Jackie Chan on Report From The Land of SFX · · Score: 2

    I really do like CGI effects. Some of my favorite shows have really good CGI, Futurama, Lexx, other Sci-Fi. The problem is all the suspense is gone. I know that the person is in front of a green screen, I know they aren't in any harms way, except Jackie Chan.

    There will always be a place for real stunt men, those are the scenes that still get me excited in movies. Seeing XXX snowboard down the side of a mountain in front of an avalanche may be cool, and loud, but it's anything but suspensful.

    Hopefully we'll always have Jackie Chan and others to make that kind of entertainment to amaze us.

    The parent company subcontracts out the makers of the devices is called Penultimate Inc. They are a shady company that buys off politicians so no one asks questions when things go wrong. The Miami Herald has stories about them a lot:
    Excerpt:

    Penultimate, Inc., which equipped a Florida jail with automatic garage-opener gates that accidentally freed prisoners in a lightning storm.

    They are building a parking garage at Miami Inrt Airport, which is three years behind schedule and 5 times the cost.

  20. Re:Benefits on The Importance of Being Debian · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I kept Corel around until I switch to FreeBSD. Corel's was by far the best one for the household. It passed the Mom test, and she was even able to understand how to login and start up some of the free office apps.
    Corel is what got me off Windows(except for games) and enjoy free, open software. I tried using just a normal Debian install, but it wasn't as nice. Also, I tried the linuxfromscratch, and feel that anyone who puts down any distro should first make their own, then decide what's really the best.
