In an exclusive deal with ShitCar Inc., Recaro has developed the new SportShitter 2000 drivers toilet. It features a 5 point harness, carbon fiber tank, and plush leather seat to prevent ass-chaffing. In a related deal, owners of the ShitCar who eat at Taco Bell will get a 10% tax break for using more efficient fuel.
The Logitech trackman Marble FX was my favorite pointing device until the the Microsoft Optical trackball came out. It has more buttons, it's black, I have less wrist pain, and it's only $32 at buy.com. It has better response than the Logitech one too, you can actually use it for Quake.
Ever since I switched to the Microsoft one, my wrists have been pain free. Previously, after a day of work, it felt like someone smashed my wrist with a hammer.
I heard KDE supports an alpha channel. Would it be possible to make translucent windows like in Quartz on Mac OSX?
How would one go about this? I'm sure it would probably require some coding, but I'd like to put a slider in the titlebar to adjust the amount of alpha on the fly.:)
Ok, the IButton is separate from the USB keychain thing, but they work together, you just have to purchase them separately. The USB thing is called the "2 in 1 Fob", and you can buy it in their store for $31. Your IButton attaches to it.
Ibutton is a small device which fits on your keychain and can plug into the USB port on your computer. You can use it to store your private key, along with the public keys of others. It can also be used as a key to your computer, both through the usb port, or through a little thing you tap it against that you attach to your monitor. It's also good for door authentication, several lock companies make locks that work with these for around $80 each. The Ibutton itself costs between $10 and $25 depending on which model you get. It can do other things too, and it's not a foolproof way to prevent someone from getting at your key, but, it's a good preventative measure, and it's sure to make it harder for an attacker.
Dump communitech and go with Rackspace.com. I was researching places like this awhile back for a little project I was working on, and I only heard good things about rackspace.com. Standard bandwidth is 10GB/mo, but for $120 more, you get 75GB/mo. Even their crappiest intel box is better than a Raq3 (they provide those also though).
What the article fails to mention, is that OSX is much better than any other mainstream consumer OS. It's way better than the old MacOS which has zero memory protection, and it's a billion times better than anything MS has to offer. It's more stable, and the GUI was made for the computer illiterate. Yeah, Mach might suck compared to linux or most other unices, but think of the alternatives.
Some of you are going to say "what about Linux??!!?", but in all honesty, nothing is ready for mainstream until your mom or a pot-smoking graphic designer can figure it out.
I liked his last response about KDE and Gnome and deciding on one, or joining the best aspects of both. I know that both of those groups have their differences, and it probably will never happen, but just think of the progress that would be made on one project with double the number of developers, instead of on two completely separate projects.
I'm actually torn between the two. I use KDE 2.1.1 at work, and Gnome 1.2 at home. Sometimes I switch, but I think both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Recently, I decided to write a small app which I'll soon GPL once it's functional. I looked at both Gnome and KDE, and decided that KDE seems simpler to write code for (I'm not a code wizard:).
I probably just started a huge flame thread, but Linux seriously needs one desktop standard that nearly everyone can agree on. Unfortunately, alot of work has been put into each system, and if someone did start a project to merge the two, we'd just end up with Yet Another Alternative, which would make 3 major environments. Lot's of choice for users, but it sucks for commercial developers who want to port to Linux.
So, since game developers writing games for OS X will basically be writing their games for a Unix based OS, does this mean that we will see more ports to Linux since it will be considerably less work to port them over?
They should just have an opt-in bonus where you get the listing service for free if you allow them to sell your viewing habits to advertisers, or collect it for ratings. Who gives a shit if they can target you better for ads, you have a Tivo, which means you can just skip all the commercials.
If you opt-out, you pay the $10/month fee or whatever it is.
Here's a link to a page with some info (not much) on the Ogg Tarking video codec. You can view the mailing list archives. From the looks of it, they are going to be using a codec based on wavelets. Support this, not DivX. DivX is good for now, but in the long run we need something free and open, and I don't think DivX qualifies.
PHP is fast and runs on just about any platform. With the use of the ADODB abstraction layer, you can easily switch databases if needed instead of changing a ton of code. It has built in session management, but you can easily store your session data in your database, then you can just add identical servers as your load goes up, and you don't have to worry about connection persistence across servers, so it's extremely scalable.
If you add the Zend optimization engine, it's even faster if you're doing alot of loops and such.

Use it, love it, sleep with it.
You just run the little proggie on a linux or windows box that connects to them, and you do all of your searching and queueing through their web interface. I just let it run at work on the fat 90Mbit/sec pipe, and sit at home on the DSL and download everything to work.
Plus, you don't get all of those annoying connection errors that you get with Napster.
I heard they shut down their DNS to prevent evil script kiddies from pounding on their site all day. They figured that kiddies aren't smart enough to find the IP somewhere and use that. Unfortunately for them, they didn't realize that anyone with an MCSE wouldn't be able to figure it out either.

I'm getting bored of hacking DSS and 802.11. Fresh meat!

Weren't these the guys that were getting sued by Wolfram Research (makers of Mathematica)?

You can rate men too. In fact, it defaults to rate both men and women. Maybe you should go to the site before posting about it.
Does it come with Quartz for the GUI?

It's a joke. I work with some pretty smart MCSE's. It's still fun to pick on them though. :)
