For those who have moved on from imperial measurement (and considering that DVDs are 3-dimensional objects) can someone give this measurement in DVDs/m^3 please?
I went to Real's DRM page and click the button for the demo. It asked me to download the latest player and provided this link which I clicked, and Galeon asked me if I wanted to save it or open it with something. I copied and paster the URL into my RealPlayer and it said it was loading. Absolutely nothing happens. If this is the quality I've to expect from them, I don't think I'll be bothering to try their new products. I'll stick with Real Player (Unix) 8.0.
Ah, someone with very similar interests to me: "Punk rock, web development, computer building, Unreal Tournament.", and only at the other end of the M8;-)
I use orange GRPS too - it's great. I've had WAP on an Orange phone since they introduced the Nokia 7110. I'm now on a Nokia 6310.
Predictive text with a T9 dictionary on my Nokia works fine for me. My website's guestbook is accessible via the web or WAP on a mobile phone. You can sign or browse my guestbook on a mobile phone. One key for each letter in a word, with a smaller area for your fingers to cover isn't that bad really - unless you have larger fingers than Nokia considers to be 'normal'.
The differnece between "12 hours working on it" and "12 hours fsking with it" shows how difficult the problem was to solve, and as far as I'm concerned could be useful to someone else looking at the code later. Leaving it in is only an option with code that stays in-house I guess.
SomeGuyFromCA has a point. I wish someone had time to investigate this. I had the same problem when I was a student. Now I'm working full time and there's a lot of travelling involved, so don't have enough spare time to think about stuff like this much.
Perhaps someone could write something using newdocms that arranges your stuff in eother of these ways. Documents would need to be given two attributes. One for class 1 | class 2, and one for homework | schedule | notes. I'd like a combination of the hierarchical file system and newdocms. I'd like all my GTK themes to live in a folder called gtk_themes, and so on.
Also, I think newdocms should get a better name. It'll sound out of date when it stops being new;-)
www.x3d.com? I thought X3D was a trademark of the x3D graphics technology: www.x3d.org. x3d.com's little shockwave on their website thing doesn't look at all 3D on my monitor, so is kinda pointless.
I can get an average of about 50fps at 1024x768 32-bit colour with everything up full on my PC with 256mb (ECC DDR) and a GeForce 2mx on Linux. Looking at the difference in memory speed there, it goes to show that your quicker graphics card makes a huge difference. When my PC starts to feel slow though, I'll spend about £120 and throw in another AMD 1600+ MP chip. Who needs overclocking (or central heating);-)
They (or their lawyers) knew what the law stated when the contract was signed. They knew what they were getting themselves into. It's not really fair that a law is going to be changed just because they made a mistake all those years ago.
Natilus won't let me write to anywhere within applications:/// - it just lets me browse it.

So how do you uncompress a.gz or a.bz2 archive? Most OSs I've seen can do this, but not XP.

Yeah, imagine installing a piece of software written for windows in a time before everyone had a start menu (i.e. Windows 3.11 software). Install in on WinXP. Hmmm... and people wonder why some icons don't end up in RedHat's menu;-)
My first thought when I saw them was: can they be hacked? Can I change the message they display to a custom one? Can I advertise my web address on them?
Yeah, I'd say that learning Windows (aside from administration) is really just learning an application: explorer. Learning Linux is a bit more like in learning about operating systems in general. Sure, you could stick to learning KDE, which would be really similar to learning Windows, but there is a whole wealth of knowledge waiting to be found below that.
If you had choses Linux in the first place over Windows, you'd never have known that problems like that exist;-)
To be fair though, Linux wasn't as useable to the average person back then as it is now. Lets just hope people starting this process from the beginning don't make these mistakes.
Surely the schools have bought support contracts, so that when something screws up or they need help, it's just a phone call away. And surely if they have a support contract, they get the latest version of the OS, and I thought WIndows 2000/XP had pretty good security (relative to older versions of Windows)? I mean, you can change all the permissons just like you'd do on a real OS;-)

Genuine question: what is ^W?
On my system, ^H is backspace.
Rendesvous sounds like Windows Network Neighborhood done properly :-)
Haha and they have the cheek to call it a "Universal Demo"!

Quoting the article...
...write an OS from scratch or perhaps license code from Microsoft or Apple...
Obviously not a true geek then. Why not talk of licensing code from Sun or IBM?

Have you seen SDL? It does what DirectX does and is platform independant.

but you have to see it from their perspective
They (or their lawyers) knew what the law stated when the contract was signed. They knew what they were getting themselves into. It's not really fair that a law is going to be changed just because they made a mistake all those years ago.

Intel don't use GAAP then?
Um, have you ever tried to administer a Windows box? Knowing
Explorer is what you take for granted
I said aside from administration, meaning that I was talking about using windows but not administering it.
I do believe that administering it could be very complex.
My first thought when I saw them was: can they be hacked? Can I change the message they display to a custom one? Can I advertise my web address on them?
www.e-insite.net slashdotted already?
