"Many users have already transferred from Morpheus to Kazaa," Chief Executive Nicola Hemming said in a news release, in part because "they have quickly realized that Kazaa media desktop gives them all Morpheus did and much more."
yes... like spyware, pop-up ads and much much more!...
well microsoft came by to mcgill a few weeks ago actually. from the career fair office posting it's supposed to be campus recruitment where they would also 'preach' about their.NET.
of course it was during valentine's day, so it was the perfect opportunity for us to bring our dates there just 5 mins before the end of the presentation for the free pizza...
i liked the fasttrack network because all their clients have the support of searching MP3s according to bitrates. i hate 128kbps...
once morpheus moves to gnutella network, i'll have to be stuck with kazaa.. fucked-up-spyware-shit. not that there arent any spyware removal programs out there, but it's such a hassle. it's like installing a virus but removing it with your virus scan.
it's already bad enough that i have to reboot to windows to use any fasttrack client because there simply isnt one that 'works' under linux.
the clients are already bad enough since people dont share on their networks. the search results show what you're looking for, but you can never seem to download from them.
... remember the good old napster days when you can search by album and download them without hitting that search button more than twice?
i wonder what the status is for the giFT development...
1) you can update your/etc/hosts (c:\windows\hosts) but if slashdot's using the same server that its using now to serve ads, this doesnt help:(
2) maybe somebody can register freeslashdot.org where its only sole purpose is to parse thru the html and remove anything with slashdot/ad/whatever? but i guess there's something called junkbuster that does this by slowing down everyone's machines...
maybe i'll just pay $5 bucks. it isnt that expensive. i wonder if each reload counts as a page view...
realplayer: i dont seem to find realplayer on linux crappy. in fact i think it's better than the windows version since it doesnt carry all the fat - ie, the ads and channel subscription "features"...
Trillian: there are plenty of all-in-one IM programs.. everybuddy being just one of them. i think everybuddy runs under linux... Also, i've been using licq (icq only) and it works wonderfully.
MS: they've got a msword/msexcel/mspowerpoint-viewer "plugin" that lets you view all those proprietory (spelling?) file formats.
Windows media?? Since it doesnt support viewing those annoying clips in the browser anyway, i guess we can all stick to xine. Xine works wonderfully and supports divx, avi,mpg,asf,wmv formats!
Shockwave: i believe that the macromedia website already has the pluggin available for download for linux. but can someone tell me why codeweaver has to support it? i know the original linux version works terribly under konqueror and crashes it almost every single time...
i've always told you kids out there that the space bar is the *KEY* to a healthy relationship between you and your fantasy partner. it so happens to be the same key that is mapped to the play button on your movie player to play that porn video you downloaded.
the 'bar' breaking on your lap-top isnt a good sign at all.
it marks the downfall of manhood..ugh.....mankind.
i've started switching to KDE (around the time of the 2.1.1 releases) after adding more ram to my machine. when i used it with my 128M before, it was pretty much impossible to have anything run smoothly under KDE. after upgrading it to a totaly of 128+256, i was able to run kde with reasonable speed. i'm not saying that it's good, but it's pretty reasonable - comparing to my windows boot.
after upgrading, windows really didnt show me any difference while KDE did. these days there are a lot of slashdot readers recommending lean and powerful apps (for instance rox-filer) and i guess that's the first step for me in my kde departure. kde's got pretty themes (kde-look.org), but on my 450Mhz machine, it should do a lot better than that.
windowmaker is nice, but i still dont like those dock/icons/clips on the side of the monitor.
i've heard the rox window manager is nice but the bar at the bottom is too thick.
gnome... well it's also pretty bloated. and the.rc and other gnome profiles get corrupted for no reason from time to time and i would have to reconfigure the toolbars/buttons from scratch.
then there's blackbox and icewm... very lean and fast... but one of them dont have the option to configure the window decoration (i might be wrong... cant seem to find it anyway)..
i really do hope that kde 3.0 would be a lot more efficient.
"'super-athletes' may be competing as soon as the 2012 Olympic games"
isnt 2012 a bit too soon...
it's 2001 now... so even if we start today, and 'engineer' one of these babies...
neglecting the 9month fertility period.. the child's supposedly be able to compete at the age of 11? for a lot of guys, that's even before puperty.. needless to say the type of conditioning the athletes get day in and day out.. unless these kids are engineered to be able to compete before puperty.. without the conditioning... still doesnt make much sense
man... now imagine the political side of things..... oh boy...
imagine the speed this thing can make my computer...
... i can finally run windows XP;-)
(with my virus scan running, winamp, norton, icq, netscape, morpheus, matlab running all at the same time without crashing)
of course with my crashing rate increasing by a factor of a thousand too:)
my favorite new feature (Quicktime??)
on
KDE 2.2.2
·
· Score: 1
" - added support for CodeWeavers' CrossOver plug-in (provides support for QuickTime, etc.) screenshot"
how about the "AB ENERGIZER"? i'm sure we all want to get rid of that big tummy from sitting in front of the computer hour after hour day after day...;-)
let's see if the stocks for the telecom sector starts going up a little bit more... things like this gives us the faintest hope that new grads like us will actually be able to find jobs....
i guess every average geek can now make it to 3rd base with their girl. all they need to do is to visit radioshack and purchase their on-and-off switches and gates - sounds like someone's semi-automatic gun's fully loaded already!;-)
mame? how about bleem?
on
MAME On Xbox
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
on the same note, i think it would be more interesting to run bleem. mame games dont really take advantage of the hardware components of the xbox... and now that bleam is dead there's really no one who could get sued in case anything happens...
if that's the case, i'll never have to worry about my state machine taking an extra delay going from one state to the other...
or the problems with single extra delays when synchronizing blocks between requests and acknowledges...
reminds me of the ease of doing everything in software...
obviously it would be interesting in how things would be done on the synthesis side of things...
there will always be blocks that will have clocks especially in the registers as such. blocks that are so called asynchronous maybe called that if the triggering line may not be the clock line, but it's still sensitive to something else.
ie, you may have a d flip flop which would latch out its data on the enable "event" (which is attached to the clk line)
it's easy to say "oh we'll have our complete design asynchronous" but complete design? until someone show us one first... it's pretty difficult. and it's nothing revolutionary here....
Slashdot Mirror
that turquoise theme of this site has got to go :)
maybe it wont match the banner colors and the popups?

actually xine supports wmv. i'm not sure if noatun supports wma though.

freedos -> windows emulation -> msword 6.0 for win3.1?
everyone could just save their docs in word 6.0 format and everyone would be able to read it...
wait... is this freedos thing a virtual machine that runs on top of *nix?
i think the car analogy - or a better one should read:
If Microsoft was a car company, would you put up with a one that manufactures cars that would crash at random?
That's one of Linus' quotes that he made a while but not too long ago... I dont know the exact words but you get his idea...
i guess....

The cool thing about Simply GNUstep is its partial source compatibility with MacOSX programs (further compatibility is still worked on)
since office runs on the mac... maybe we'll see office run on Simply GNUstep (soon)?
in essence, i think it's pretty much implying that this company's not going to have an HR department.... they're just going to complain without IE...
and people arent going to be happy without MSOffice for their technical docs....
