  1. wine on Kazaa Lite: spyware-free version · · Score: 2, Interesting

    has anyone have any sucess running this under wine? since this is now the lite version, i doubt that it needs IE and should therefore work?

  6. dead? no way! on Unix Isn't Dead · · Score: 1

    definately not dead.
    chip companies use it so much that without it, they're pretty much dead. so much computation. dont tell me they use win32 to do all their heavy design. all the command line tools are so useful in parsing/ modifing the netlists. write a script and you're all done. not to mention the least about design automation..

  7. Re:PR0N on A New Low for Web Advertisers: Pop-Up Downloads · · Score: 1

    no man, i use those "dialer" programs that my browser automatically installs for me when i go to a particular site. i just run that program, pay a certain amount of money, and i get all those live shows everyone's been promoting and talking about...

    i've always been telling people, pr0n will always be a leader in this industry

  8. wierd on Time Travel · · Score: 1

    unless the amount of time to be travelled is proportinal to the energy required to 'send' anyway back time.. it would be interesting to see what it was like back in the day Christ on earth. maybe this would stop all the religious wars.

    maybe this would align all the planets together.

    maybe alex chiu and his eternal life magnetic rings do actually work.

    still, i think the time cube would be economically cheaper than the ring of light.

    a little bit of tcl (tickle) is always good foreplay... but to me JAVA just keeps me awake and stay interested.

  16. Embarrassment from lost password.. on Using Images as Passwords · · Score: 1

    So when you call support to get your lost password, will they ask you what your mothers maiden hair color was?

  21. charging on Canada to Raise Tariffs on Recordable Media · · Score: 2, Insightful

    how about handhelds (mini handheld HP/compaq computers or whatever you call them) that has mp3 playback functionality? are they going to add tarifs to that too? :(

    or cell phones... but i guess that would be going too far...

  22. first version on Bang The Machine · · Score: 1

    the first arcade version of street fighter version II was one of most interesting ones. i still remember the 'bug' that they had with Guile. You could execute a move that would throw your opponent without being near them. it wasnt easy to execute but it was awesome seeing your opponent's reaction when you do something like this :)

    the move was similar to the sonic boom, except you need to press back right and press fierce punch + roundhouse kick.

    in other words:

    - (quick back after the forward above) + fierce + roundhouse.

    this only worked on the ARCADE original version of street fighter II. does not work on anything else (champion edition, turbo, accelerator, etc)

  23. *sigh* on Criticisms of KDE 3 Release Process · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    overall, kde is a good 'product' but i'm just too disappointed with the speed issue. i've got 384 MBs of RAM on my Pentium 450 and it's just bearable. sure it's got some nice themes and all, but even windows 98 is running faster. i'm not just talking about apps, but kde hasnt been too responsive. i have yet to try out KDE3 yet (since they arent planning on releasing it on unstable)...

    mind you, i've disabled all the 'effects' to speed things up... not much help.

    recently migrated to XFCE (xfwm) and i'm pretty happy about it. fluxbox is the ultimate but i still havent figured out how to dock applets and other stuff properly..

    i've been totally depending on Konqueror now that it's so hard to use something else. but if you run any kde apps even in fluxbox it's going to slow everything waaay down...
