  1. Re:Drawing Parallels on Can Microsoft Beat Google? · · Score: 1

    actually i installed IE4 on Win95 back in those days for the Desktop update (i didnt even had an internet account).

  2. Re:Damn them. on UPN Officially Cancels 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    > While the show started out as poor, its gotten better and it now upto TNG in quality.

    the problem is, that TNG quality isnt enough today anymore.

    TNG was great in the '80 and '90, but so many diffenrent Series raised the bar so much higher than any StarTrek series could ever reach (DS9 came close, but it wasnt there IMO)

    I for sure wouldnt want to watch an other TOS/TNG clone today

  3. Re:Spyware on Skype For Mac OS X and Linux · · Score: 1

    the kazaa website says kazaa contains no spyware, so i wouldnt trust them

  4. Re:Tablespork, you must have been the only one on Apple Updates PowerBooks · · Score: 1

    I allways asumed that one of the reasons for that their .Net Framework was to go ISA independent.

    maybe it wont happen with Longhorn, but maybe with the next one. (or maybe with an xbox2 running something else than games)

  5. Re:To speed up the loading time... on The Future Is Open: The OpenDocument Format · · Score: 1

    or get Adobe Reader 7 (that one has a preloader)

    >And when I saw Jobs demo the WordPerfect, I thought, "So what's the big deal about Pages again?"

    well.. moving images in pages document on my iBook G4 800MHz was just as fast (read=slow) as on this NeXT...

  8. Re:True, but... on Massachusetts Adopting 'Open Format' Software · · Score: 2, Informative

    i've just tried opening a Word 5.0 Document in Word 2003 and it wont work.

    there is a Converter Pack from Ms for those ancient .docs but this wont install on 2003 (but it works fine with 2003)

    so no, Word 1.0 file formats are not even close to being compatible with the current version

  9. Re:Best Alternative on Xfce 4.2.0 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Go the their website and check out the flash demos
    i dont want to bash Xfce (never tried it, so i cant say anything) but compare this to that (not the product, just the movie itself).
    why did they had to make those flash moves so damn fast that you cant really follow them.
  10. Re:Well... on Windows Longhorn to make Graphics Cards more Important · · Score: 1

    IIRC Apple's Quarz Extreme requires Pixelshader 1.x too. (it wont work on a Radeon 7xxx but just fine on my 9200 (and should do fine on a 8500)

  11. Re:Headless Alternative for Less on Apple Releases Mac Mini · · Score: 1

    >bottom-end CPU running at, say, 2.0 Ghz?

    bottom end? an Athlon 64 3000+ runs at 2.0Ghz and i wouldnt consider that a low end chip

    i've just bought a 1.67 GHz Sempron (rated at 2400+) and its more than enough for the office tasks.

    (but the audio had some glitches at ~50minutes.. maybe they'll repost a fixed .mov)

  13. Re:My neighborhood on Best Wireless SSIDs You Have Seen? · · Score: 1

    > The real question is why you feel the need to "help your neighbors"? What's the point?

    because i like them and really want to help them? (but telling them the problem would be the better way)

    >An open AP is not hurting anyone.

    most ISPs in Europe charge per GB, so having an open AP does hurt them.

    >Processors are approaching the heat density of a nuclear reactor

    looking at those slides it looks like this should happened at 100nm. thank god prescott is at 90nm and surpassed this threat elegantly ;)

    hey... maybe this where the nuklear WMD everybody was searching for some time ago...

  15. How can you reach a pilot from the ground? on Laser Painting Could Lead to 25-Year Prison Term · · Score: 1

    this may sound like a stupid question, but how is it physicly possible to blind a pilot from the ground?

    i mean you are obviously under the plane and the windows are in the top side of the airplane.. so how is it possible for the laser beam to even enter the cockpit.

    or are there any laser-sensitive stuff on the bottom of the plane that can cause something (other than showing a little red dot)?

    >Coders write quick'n'dirty VB apps with the intention of redoing them in (for example) C++ later.

    Back in the VB5/6 days i never heard anyone who did VB stuff that this is only meant as prototype. it was allways meant to be released as VB App. (with some DLLs written in VC++)

    but the binaries are dated 09-Mar-2004... looks kinda dead to me

    the status page from the other site is dead too... mailing lists has close to no traffic, so i asked myself: is anyone working (and not reading mails/updating webpages) or is it abandoned.
