It is possible to remove Internet Explorer, using third party tools, like XPLite for windows xp: http://www.litepc.com/xplite.html I personally haven't removed IE, but i've used it to clean out other cruft thats not needed, to slim up the win xp install on my gf's computer.
dude, there's like 5ms max latency over a lan. if you double that, that still gives you 100 frames per second. I don't think you need any more accuracy than that...
It's called "Video Orbits," I guess. Originally, it was made to make panoramic stills from video. But it can also do the same thing mentioned in the article, sort of scanner like.
(make sure the binaries and scripts are in your path) You can play with the $steps= line in estpairwise.pl to change the settings. also, i like to take out the -display in estpairwise.pl, in order to speed things up, otherwise it draws each image on screen as it tries to match them up.
will produce cemented.pnm.
This works both as the article talks about, like a scanner, but it also makes kickass hires panoramic shots from crappy 320x240 video. Note: turn off automatic brightness/ auto white balance when taking your video, or it make look a little funny.
no idea if any of this stuff works under windows. but it works like a charm under linux.
The only problem is, 486's max out at what, 66Mhz? While my Zaurus 5500 is 200Mhz, and the 5600 is 400Mhz. Also, the PDA's resolution is generally 320x240, which is way too low for a desktop monitor, but I believe some PDA's run at 640x480, which would be acceptable for old machines.
Anyone got a torrent for this baby? I wanna give it a spin on my gf's computer. (hehe, hopefully she wont flip out too much when she finds her windows xp replaced)
I would understand if Haitians were the only ethnic group singled out for mindless killing, but honestly....at a point in the game, you actually -work- for the Haitians, specifically for the purpose of killing the rival Cubans. At other points in the game, you kill Italians, French, Colombians, hell, I think I even killed some seagulls. If one took killing people out (and don't whine about ethnicity - in case it's not obvious, -everyone- is part of some ethnicity), you'd have.....nothing. And if you have a problem with killing in general........ DON'T BUY THE FSCKING GAME!!!!! I swear, we need to hold a telethon for these people......
I use xmms-embedded. I find it works/much/ better than the opie-player2, much quicker responding, supports all the formats, etc. Plus you can use the hardware keys for volume, next/prev, play/pause.
ah, but you see, giFT connects to the FastTrack (ie Kazaa) and Gnutella networks, which both have large windows userbases. True, the OpenFT plugin I believe is Linux only, but I find that people on the OpenFT network tend to share much much more then the average joe on Kazaa (who shares nothing). For example, on the OpenFT network, as I write this (noon PST, sunday): 538 Users online 1.0TB Total Shared 138k Files 1.9GB Shared/User
Of course, I have no idea how they calculate this,so they could be completely wrong. But that's besides the point. giFT is just the framework for connecting to various networks, like the Kazaa network (FastTrack) or Gnutella.
It can connect to various networks via plugins, currently there are plugins for: OpenFastTrack network [included with gift], the Gnutella network [included with gift], and the FastTrack network (the Kazaa network!) [download
The FastTrack (kazaa) plugin was recently developed, as they had to crack the encryption on the login process which had kept them out for some time.
I personally use Gnutella, OpenFT, and FastTrack plugins with Apollon for KDE. It very sweet, I get fast downloads, fast searches, easy to use UI.
You have to check out this awesome app...technically it's not P2P, but what it does is find free MP3's online for you, and then reccomends new ones based on how you rate them.
I believe what they have done is made copies of the software in Sega's Dreamcast BIOS chip. I imagine if they wrote their own BIOS, it might have a chance to be legal. A while back the PS2 Mod guy got sued, not because he was selling modchips, but because the modchips contained (modified) playstation firmware.
I myself would be interested in the answers to this question, as I am going to be looking for some internships coming up next year. I could probably get CS type internships, I'm good at that sort of thing, but I'm actually majoring in NE (Nuclear Engineering)

But really, how essential is it to buy every Office upgrade? The only upgrade's to Office I've ever purchased have come at the same time as new computer. I kept Office 97 for several years while upgrades came out. I mean, unless you are some kind of wierdo that uses all 12384 features, a few dozen more aren't gonna make that much of a difference.
This sounds oh so familiar to the case against bleem! software, and especially bleem!cast. These products in effect replaced the console that sony sells at a loss and encourages endusers to buy more software which causes a profit for sony. They didn't care about this, they just wanted control of the market, which may seem strange to many of us, but is a common japanese mindset from what i understand.
yeah, ip masq & ip chains let me not worry about my windoze computers getting eaten by kids with time on their hands and exploits on their computers.
At my house, we have 1 linux box as the main connection to mediaone(at&t) cable, 3 windows and one other linux computer use it as a gateway.
On a side note, i've had some success getting a static ip by using dhcp then keeping that ip and changing my settings to be static. Anyone else had any luck doing this? it's usefull when combined with a free dns name from someplace like dhs.org
my aunt's friend was murdered, and the killer only served 7 years in jail.
a guy steals otherwise wasted computer time and they want to give him 15 years?
is this the same as killing two people or something?
sometimes i just get fed up with the world.

I just have to say that screen is my god. I use it in all my x terminals as well as console terminals.
I love the splitting. And especially the ability to detach and re-attach somewhere else.
Perhaps you should look for a more general solution instead of one focused on email clients: Encrpyting/Password protecting folders on your computer.
- Encryption/Security-Encryption-45.htm
This way, you could store all your sensitive files on the encrypted/protected folder, and have it only be unlocked when you are there.
Here are some links:

I played with it a bit using the movie function of my digital camera, transfering to computer, then using
mplayer -vo png movie.mov && mogrify -format pnm *png && estcement.pl *pnm
(make sure the binaries and scripts are in your path)
You can play with the $steps= line in estpairwise.pl to change the settings. also, i like to take out the -display in estpairwise.pl, in order to speed things up, otherwise it draws each image on screen as it tries to match them up.

maybe if you used ogg vorbis at a lower bitrate (which would have the same sound quality as mp3 at higher rate), then you would have fewer problems.
plus, posting your server to slashdot can't be good for your bandwidth usage.

Go get the Torrents if you want to watch these shows.
As I write this, part 1 has ~250 seeds and part 2 has ~300 seeds.

Of course, I have no idea how they calculate this,so they could be completely wrong. But that's besides the point. giFT is just the framework for connecting to various networks, like the Kazaa network (FastTrack) or Gnutella.
Check out the giFT project...
It's a flexible p2p platform, which has several front ends:
Qt-based Apollon [screenshot],
Gtk-based giFToxic [screenshot],
and curses-based giFTcurs [screenshot].
Also has Mac & Windows clients, check the gift page for more info.
It can connect to various networks via plugins, currently there are plugins for:
OpenFastTrack network [included with gift],
the Gnutella network [included with gift],
and the FastTrack network (the Kazaa network!) [download
The FastTrack (kazaa) plugin was recently developed, as they had to crack the encryption on the login process which had kept them out for some time.
I personally use Gnutella, OpenFT, and FastTrack plugins with Apollon for KDE. It very sweet, I get fast downloads, fast searches, easy to use UI.
Check it out.
You have to check out this awesome app...technically it's not P2P, but what it does is find free MP3's online for you, and then reccomends new ones based on how you rate them.
It's also open-source, multi-platform:
http://irate.sf.net/
Here's a simple command, while it doesn't fix DNS queries, it won't let any traffic go through to their server:
Just run, as root:
iptables -A OUTPUT -d 64.94.110.11 -j REJECT
if you do this on your linux-based router, all boxes behind the router will be blocked from their site as well.
PS: I don't know how this might interfere if you already have iptables rules set up
Hehe, I just read the title as "A Game Causing Dyslexia Found"
