  2. "When it's done" on Duke Nukem Forever in Production · · Score: 1

    From 3DRealms website:

    "The release date of this game is "When it's done". Anything else, and we mean -- anything else -- is someone's speculation. There is no date. We don't know any date. If you have a friend who claims they have "inside info", or there's some game news site, or some computer store at the mall who claims they know - they do not. They are making it up. There is no date. Period."

    I'm sorry but I cannot see why bittorrent is slow in this regard.

    I've just downloaded FC2 using bittorrent here at work. Max speed was about 460KB/s. That's about the limit of our 4mbps access to the Internet. 2.1 GB in less than 2 hours.... that's not slow in my end of the world...

  12. Re:Obvious question.. on AXA sues Google over AdWords · · Score: 1

    Once Google is informed that an AdWord violates a trademark (or whatever), they become liable to prosecution. The way Google usually responds is by immediately pulling the ad.

    And so they have: Google("AXA")

  19. Re:Security problems under windows on Apache 2.0.44 Released · · Score: 1


    Seriously, why should anybody want to use Windows as a webserver? The only reason I can think of is when you are locked into MS-only technology like ASP which rules out Apache anyway.


    Actually Chili!Soft provides software that makes it possible to run ASP on other platforms than Windows. This includes Linux, Aix, Solaris and you can use your own favourite webserver!

    The software is quite stable. It just has one problem: VBScript sucks - not the implementation but the language specs. Therefor always use jscript when writing ASP.

  21. Re:Sony's Response on Xbox Price Drops For Australia And Europe · · Score: 1
    I can't imagine MS beating Sony - here is why:
    • The games for Xbox cost more than those for PS2 -- 5 PS2 games vs. 4 XBox games
    • You can play old PS games on PS2 -- they can be found cheap at the local used-cds-store
    • All your friends have PS or PS2 and you can swap CD's
    • You can mod the PS2 -- now the games are really affordable and you can watch DVD's from other regions!
    • Lowering the prices below cost of producing the hardware is like a deathspasm -- if it doesn't make your heart beat again your'e dead!

    All in all MS doesn't stand a chance -- there are simply too many disadvantages when you compare it to the PS2.
  22. Re:How well can it run ASP? on eWeek: Apache 2.0 Trumps IIS · · Score: 1

    If you really want to use ASP on Apache I'll strongly recommend you take a look at Chili!Soft ASP.

    It supports several OS'es including Linux, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Windows.

    Several different databases is supported as well, as severel different webservers are supported.

    At work we have used both the Linux and the AIX version. We ported an application from IIS with minor difficulties.
