  1. Foobar 2000 on Simplest Ogg Streaming Clients for non-Unix Users? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You could try Foobar 2000 for Windows.
    I haven't tried any Ogg/Vorbis streaming with it, but please post
    some links if you're not afraid of the hordes ;)

  2. Re:For cars too? on Coating Promises Scratch-Proof CDs, DVDs, LCDs · · Score: 1

    stinkfoot here may seem like he's joking, but when considering that
    people are using StarForce on games and some broken CD-format for
    music, it's not far from the truth.

  3. Re:They might be better known for.. on British Developer Argonaut Undergoing Restructuring · · Score: 1

    I kinda liked Croc..but we should remember them for Starglider 1+2.

  4. CPU+GPU on Intel And AMD's Dual-Core CPUs Investigated · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Maybe we'll see dual-core CPUs where the second core does some
    of the 3D-calculation today's graphics chipsets do?
    That would certainly be useful for some fields of math.

  5. Ortho-wossnames? on Gran Turismo 4 Delayed Until 2005 in Pal Regions · · Score: 1

    With the game being 3D, why is it so hard to resize the screen?

  6. MUI! on Lit Window Library 0.3 released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is wxWindows meets MUI (Magic User Interface on the Amiga).
    Lovely!

  7. Norway cares on Science Television: Does Joe Public Care? · · Score: 1

    I work for a cable provider, and we seem to have a lot of customers
    that subscribe to the additional Discovery channels and similar.
    It's often paired with the Playboy channel, though :P
    (Cable TV basic package + two channels + broadband = typical geek)

  8. Re:EQ2 on EQ2 Voiced By Hollywood Actors · · Score: 1

    Actually, Dark Age of Camelot already has this filter ;) /rpfilter

  9. Re:Kind of annoying, but... on Half Life 2 To Be DVD Only In UK · · Score: 1

    I don't know *anyone* with a relatively modern system (2 years to
    pretty recent), and no DVD drive.

    Half the geeky gamer-types I know also have a DVD burner.

  10. Re:For me on The Perfect Online Music Store? · · Score: 1

    You can do whatever you damn please with a FLAC.

  11. Re:Two things to note: on UT2004 Editor's Choice Edition Released · · Score: 1

    Linux users can either "unzip filename.exe", or possibly drag and
    drop to Ark or similar archive GUI tools.

  12. Re:Remember who you are selling to on "Levels" of Computers the Future? · · Score: 1

    Not all people *here* are dumb as dirt. They can see how stupid
    the idea actually is.

  13. Re:Digital Zoom is a MYTH! on Sony Develops TVs That Zoom in for True Close-ups · · Score: 0

    But with only a source containing clean skin, it wouldn't make up
    anything but clean skin, would it?

  14. Re: neverwinter nights on 10 Points About Transgaming's Cedega/WineX · · Score: 1

    Well, there are Loki-based installers to install NWN now. No Win32
    involved in any part of the process :)

    As for recording your purchases as Linux products:
    Go to the Bioware forums, register each key with a username,
    and select to be displayed as a Linux user. I did.

  15. Re:MSFT doesn't care about Apache. on Apache Rejects Sender ID · · Score: 1

    Ogg IS winning over MP3, in the game development field.
    Lots of games use Ogg/Vorbis for the music/sound (prominent ones
    like UT2004, and I believe I saw oodles of them in Homeworld 2).

  16. Re:Idiot Question on Implications Of The Recent Hash Function Attacks · · Score: 1

    Maybe the disk example isn't the best - simply mounting the disk
    might change data on it. File access times, mount count..

  17. Re:i hate skins on Winamp Skin Exploit in the Wild · · Score: 1

    The "none at all" option is Foobar 2000.
    Lean player, does what it's told.

  18. Perma-death? on MMOG Subscription Analysis Provides New Insights · · Score: 1

    If Frontier 1859 ever gets beyond the vapour-ware stage,
    that would be just what you want. True wild west - players make
    the laws, you only get one life, but you can pass on your genes.

    http://frontier1859.com/

  19. Re:Horizons? Huh? on MMOG Subscription Analysis Provides New Insights · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I never understood that MMO killing thing. If I want to kill
    monsters, I go hunting for spiders in my apartment, or track down
    the bear that killed a local farmer's sheep.

  20. Re:not exclusive on Writing Software for Worldwide Distribution Proves Difficult · · Score: 1

    I don't think anyone has been bashing MS so far.
    Only merkins :)

  21. Re:The game market won't decrase because of piracy on Controversial StarForce Copy Protection Creators Quizzed · · Score: 1

    How large a percentage of the population used computers back then?

  22. Re:And punish legitimate users? on Controversial StarForce Copy Protection Creators Quizzed · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There's no way the crackers could get away with it - nobody would
    spread it.

  23. Re:How hard would it be... on Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 1

    I've seen torrents of the Star Wars trilogy DVDs.
    Maybe it's the real thing, but it's equally likely they're really
    the laserdisc versions.

    It's only 14 gigabytes of downloads, if you have the patience ;)

  24. Re:Get a router, or ZoneAlarm on Survival Time for Unpatched Systems Cut by Half · · Score: 1

    Services listed here:
    http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg. htm

    (Wear sunglasses; the colour-scheme is painful)

  25. Re:20 minutes? you mean, more like 20 seconds? on Survival Time for Unpatched Systems Cut by Half · · Score: 1

    I've seen the combined installer with both antivirus and firewall
    fail like that, myself. That's why I now use the stand-alone McAfee
    firewall plus AVG. Oh, and if the internal firewall in XP is also
    running when you install McAfee, they'll be fighting it out.
