  1. Re:Site content on IOCCC Winners Announced · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Damn you beat me by 2 minutes :) I wanted to paste the original HTML but Slashdot complained because "Your comment has too few characters per linetoo short lines" (?). So I pasted the content without the formatting just like you did. Heh, still funny.

  2. For those who want to see the list: on IOCCC Winners Announced · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Since the site is slowing down, here's the list (and the page):

    Here are the names and categories for the winners of the 17th IOCCC. The source code has not been released yet. The winners have been notified by EMail. They will be given a chance to review the write-up of their entry. Once this process is complete the source code will be made available on the winning entries web page.

    No, because here it's called Slashdot. It means it's the best thing happening for most of the basement crowd out there.

  4. About damn time ! on Nvidia Releases Updated Drivers for FreeBSD · · Score: 2, Informative

    An update every 6 months is welcome for sure ! I hope they will sync their release path with the Linux drivers, THAT would be awesome (ie when the Linux driver is avaiable, the FreeBSD one will be (or within days...)).

    Well that must be it because I installed XCode 1.5 like 2 days ago and didn't went to system preferences since then :D

  7. Just installed it on Apple Releases 10.3.5 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Just installed it on my iMac DV+ 450 and saw some changes so far. First, Darwin was upgraded to version 7.5.0. Then, if you go to the system preferences, a new row (Other) is added with an icon labelled "Hardware". For me, it shows infos about the CPU and let me choose if I want to desactivate the L2 cache (combobox with "512KB" or "None"). Safari was upgraded too, now running as 1.2.3 (v125.9). That's about it for now...

    I think you should give AdAware a quick run. You would be amazed of the results. Even on a freshly installed computer, after browsing the net for 5 minutes AdAware catches stuff (personal experience).
