    There's My entry. Maybe someone else's entry is better than that but I'm hard pressed to get any better than that. That is using fastcalls, but it get's the job done.

    Stupid lameness filter.... I'll just ramble and see if it'll let me in...

    Perhaps maybe the Dollar Signs. I'll replace those with the letter W. Now the compression Filter. That's okay another paragraph here outta do it. I've taken most tabs and also added some CAPS stuff to get through the Filter.

    Has anyone heard of a better way for this one yet. Someone told me they had it smaller but they wouldn't show me how. Maybe if you can use some of the characters in the string as instructions then maybe it's possible to get some of it done that way. The only real problem is jumping into memory takes space too and doesn't save anything if you only execute one instruction.

    About the All-American Meal..... Maybe your franchise doesn't have it on the menu anymore but as recently as last night I got one for my wife. It isn't on the menu but you can still get it. The cheapest combo on the planet.

  3. It's a Soul Thing. on Electronic Music 101? · · Score: 1

    Wow! Good posts all around. I must add more to the knowledge of House music and where to find some great definative house music.

    Artists/Producers/Labels: Idjut boys, Paul Johnson(Real Chicago House), Anything from Naked Music or Panhandle. And that's the short list.

    The real problem I have with Electronic Music is that to really get into it and find what you really like it costs a lot of money. If you only buy mix-tapes and complete CDs by DJ/Artists/Producers then you miss out on a great deal of their work. You have to buy records (yes vinyl) at a pace of a few every week to keep up with what you like and to stay on the look out for new and exciting stuff. Most people think that only DJs need to do this, but really if you get into the music enough it seems that this is really required. Oh well, off to the record store.

  4. Runs Great!!! Fonts Look better in Win32 X on Cygwin's XFree86 4.2.0 on Windows XP · · Score: 3, Informative

    I love it and have been running it for a while. I use blackbox as my WM since I only run programs over the network it doesn't get in the way and leaves a tiny footprint.

    I get by day to day with Kmail, GnuCash, Red-Carpet and a few other miscellaneous apps that I run over the in-house LAN.

    As the subject says I noticed that programs use the same fonts whether I run the program on the Mandrake box locally or over the network, however when I run the progs over the network to the Windows machine all the fonts look nice....??!?!? Is that a feature? I think most the programs just plain look nicer in the Win32 port... maybe I'm delusional...... anything's possible.

  5. Re:upgradeable? on Weirdest Case Mod You've Ever Seen · · Score: 1

    No kidding, I mean yeah it's all impractical and not useful and ugly and so on, but think about the money you'll save on upgrades.................

    Isn't this the same reason the Apple Cube failed? And it was pretty.

  6. Re:OK, Marketing it is then. on "Linux is *the* threat," Says Microsoft · · Score: 1

    There is such a site.... It only covers Mandrake Linux, but at least there is a site!

    It doesn't do everything, but there are a ton of testimonials and you are free to add your own there as well.

  7. Re:3-Tier on Prior Art to Squash Database Patent? · · Score: 1

    I'm really not sure if this is 3-Tier or 2-Tier but I have a couple of Ideas. One is Microstation by Bentley systems. They are located in Alabama and Microstation runs in Unix as well as windows and has been around for a very long time. (it used to run on CLIX created by Intergraph back in the day) It allows for relational databased to backend it. Sencond is a package created by Intergraph that integrates Microstation into it Called MGE. MGE is a GIS package that is 3-Tier for sure and it is a premier package for GIS software (I think it has been abandoned now for a new product called GeoMedia). It also ran on CLIX which I'm sure predates 1991. You could contact these companies for more information about them intergraph is located at http://www.intergraph.com and Bentley is at http://www.bentley.com Since Bentley was founded in 1984 they are a good bet. But I'm not sure if this is perfect but I think it is?? Good to check into for sure since databases/X apps are what you are looking for.
