    You do realize that JP1 was using a real IRIX (I seem to recall) 3D Filemanager.
    You can download it right now. Search previous /. articles about it.

    Down here in the States, Lowes sells one that is the equivilant of a 300W halogen setup. I forget the brand, but they do exist.

  4. Re:Me too on NZ Spammer Shutdown Makes Big Difference · · Score: 1

    As a NON AC I can say that since last friday I get almost no spam (usually about 50 or so a day) but have been getting about as many virus mails as I used to get spam.
    Maybe we should start designing viruses to take out the spammers and the machines they abuse.

  5. Re:Not me on NZ Spammer Shutdown Makes Big Difference · · Score: 1

    Since SoBigF hit, I have gotten almost no spam, but an almost equivilant volume of virus mails and bounces.

    I suspect a lot of spammer relays have been owned.

    If you read the text of the article it is also a funny parody of a number of sex related FAQ.

    Try using google groups to search for some of the strings of text.

    They dont sell a plasma tv. it's apyramid scam where the "top bidder" is told how he can make enough money to afford a plamsma tv by.... selling the information they just bought on E-Bay.

    Ohio is doing almost the same thing, but it looks like the Ohio people have the earworms all ready. They say they dont expect the security audit to turn up anything that would delay use of the machines.

    "I'm attending Michigan State University as a graduate student studying Computer Science. It may not have the name recognition of a MIT or Carnegie Mellon, but it's a good, solid program grounded in the fundamentals, not one that simply follows the latest fads or caters to what the industry thinks it wants."

    I dunnno, you seem to be bright, but I dont think you are qualified to make that statement on the dreamcasts ability to run a game lime GTA3.
    Do you even own a Dreamcast?
    Ever played say Demolition Racer: No Exit on it?
    Ever play Shenmue on it?
    Ever play Ikurga on it?
    I dont see how the DC would fail to perform for a GTA3 type game.
    Can you give some reasoning or examples of why it cant possibly do that kind of thing?

    Yes, either a sound card or a dedicated interface cards, so no wonder the boot from cd-rom option didnt exist since the cd-rom isnt visible to the bios.
    The whole problem was horribly old outdated hardware.
    As I recal thats a 1x or 2x cd-rom drive, havent seen one of those since the early/mid 90's.

    Look around the net to see if there is a "service" menu hiden from normal users. also red level on simpler tv sets can be affected by "tint" or "color" settings.
