  1. Re:Non-Latin Alphabets on Easy Character Accents in Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    i don't know about arabic but chinese works the same (and just as well - if not a little better) in X as it did in 9. input and display.

  2. Re:ex-scouser on Barcodes: The Number of the Beast · · Score: 1

    maybe he did what my dad did and came down from the 'pool to the cultured south. but unfortunately ended up in brum instead heh

  4. Re:Still waiting on VCD and other rants on PS2 Getting DVD Upgrade & Progressive Video? · · Score: 1

    the PS2 doesn't play VCDs? seriously? thats weird, Sony even released a version of the PS ONE that played VCDs! came in a white box i think, though i only ever saw one once in s'pore.

  5. http download link? on OpenBSD 3.3 Song · · Score: 0

  7. Re:Get some new dreams on Concorde to be Grounded · · Score: 1

    yeah well maybe unlike you some of us only have limited annual leave and would rather spend it somewhere rather than getting to that somewhere.

  8. What a troll topic! on Adobe Says PCs Are Preferred · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The webpage doesn't say Adobe "prefer" PCs at all, that happens to be a word in the page URL, if the page was pcfish.html it wouldn't mean Adobe thought PCs were fishy now would it. Seems to me all this topic is is a huge troll.

  9. Re:eh, wot? on Screenshot History of Windows · · Score: 1

    i can tell you never used Warp 3 much, i did. W95 copied a LOT off OS/2 Warp.

  10. Re:Digital amnesia on Dying Languages, Fading Formats · · Score: 1

    indeed its a bit of a strange article, especially when it mentions MP3 and what will happen when everyone moves to another format...er... just keep using your MP3 player, its not magically going to dissappear ;)

  11. Re:Apple's Historical Hits and Misses on Dismal Apple Forecasts Are Wrong · · Score: 1
    In my opinion, Apple's best move would've been in licensing themselves. It may have killed Apple ultimately, but the Macintosh technologies would have survived and improved dramatically as the PC clones have proved out over time.


    doesn't sound like their best move to me if it ended up in the death of the company!

  12. Re:manuals? on Apple and CompUSA Working on 'Software on Demand' · · Score: 1

    yeah but if you haven't got a laptop it makes reading the manual anywhere else apart from at your computer... tricky

  13. Re:An amazing project. on The Contiki Desktop OS for C64, NES, 8-bit Atari, · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Today's software is written so poorly that super high-end hardware is needed to make up for lazy/poor programmers.


    the problem today compared to back when all code had to be small, tight and efficient is that there is a much greater demand for programming. the actual number of good, top flight coders is always going to be small as it was back then but these days you have a lot more code that needs to be churned out so a lot of it gets done by journeymen programmers (and i include myself in that)

  14. Re:We'll see who's laughing... on Cell Phones Changing Social Group Communication · · Score: 1

    i personally would not find millions of people getting cancer funny but maybe thats just me.

    you only had to wait an extra day!

  16. Re:You are missing why they did this... on iDisk Utility for Windows XP · · Score: 3, Insightful

    another reason is to help Mac home users who use PCs at work and want to transfer files home using their iDisk.

  25. Re:No name yet? on 4-Winged Dinosaur Fossil Found · · Score: 0

    my book on palaentology has a hypothetical creature not unlike this new one which it named Proavis (or similar - not got the book with me!)
