  1. Re:Why bother? on Branding Mozilla: Towards Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 1

    SORRY, I did a "Clippy" on the parent post =)

    The imported favorites are a copy of your IE favorites, copied into your Mozilla profile. If you add new favorites with IE after importing, Mozilla doesn't know about them. New bookmarks added from Mozilla don't show up in IE either.


    Why can't the Mozilla Developers make Mozilla RE-SYNC the Internet Explorer favourites EACH TIME Mozilla is loaded/opened?

  3. Re:Memory Limit? on Panasonic Toughbook W2 Review · · Score: 1
    I am using Linux and KDE and I am have never even hit 256 megs in use at any time.
    The "unused" memory is used for caching, AFAIK.. One can ALWAYS find good use for every kb of ram in a decent os..
  4. Re:Try Real Life. on What is a Good Free MUD Client? · · Score: 1

    Comes in 3D with integrated surround sound and both voice and tactile command recognition.

    Yes,Yes,Yes.. Still, the real question remains:

    ..does it come in pink?

  5. MUD is NOT MSN-Chat (tm)! on What is a Good Free MUD Client? · · Score: 3, Informative


    rogue-a-likes and MUDs are very different styles of games, with MUDs being closer to chatrooms set in a fantasy world.

    Man.. Don't even dare to similate MUD with chatrooms. To the parent poster (and anyone else, ocourse), I'd rather explain that MUDs are very similar to the Zork/Infocom games.

    Yes, I know, it's still not quite the same, but closer than a chatroom..

    Note; I had no intent to flame your post, but this is how I see it..

  6. Re:Fragile Media on DVD Burner Round-up · · Score: 1

    I burnt a cd in multisession mode WITH THREE DIFFERENT burn speeds. Each session had different shades of colour, i.e. seen from miles away not through a microscope..

  7. freeware.. on The Return Of Shareware Games · · Score: 1

    I played tons of shareware titles before I got the internet, then a while in the start, until I discovered freeware etc.

    There is one cool place called http://www.Gamehippo.com , many good games there..

    (Although, many are REAL crappy, too.. given the volume of titles there.)

  8. Re:Unions on Hydrodemolition Robot Crushes With Water · · Score: 1

    This is a perfect opportunity for a Y.M.C.A. -comeback..

    BTW; Any groupies who've felt dissapointed about the lack of "watersports" step right in!

  9. Re:Won't change on Truck Stops Get Wireless Internet · · Score: 1

    They could do sustained wardriving, if people would set up wifi all over the continent..

    Imagine going to a reststop, mostly frequented by truck drivers, and reading "dr1v3-by h@x0r3d by r0u73_66", on the toilet wall.. do we want drivers to be this l33t?

  10. Overseas! on Europe To Force Right of Reply On Internet Communication · · Score: 1

    I fail to see this as a problem, even for the people in need of bashing other people, etc..

    One could just use any server OUTSIDE the E.U., and instead of the proof shit they're gonna force us to supply, you could stick up a picture of yourself and "Señor Fuck'ho E.U.io" shaking hands infront of the Colombian server (or whatever)..

    This is a non-issue..

  11. I don't get it.. on Cable TV Ruins Bhutan · · Score: 1

    How can Bhutan(e) be poowr, baaws? Selling all dem cheep lighters worldvoid?

    a lame "joke", I know.. =)

  12. Re:Random thoughts on Bhutan, TV, and Freedom on Cable TV Ruins Bhutan · · Score: 1

    Point number one in your "Leftist Conspiracy Digest" is a blatant rip-off of another post, dating a year back or so.. So much for you trying to sound educated..

    Your live demonstation of ClichÃ-ism is just one of the reasons TV is bad; today it's perfectly accepted to repeat other people's thoughts without having to pay the "high" price of individual thinking..

    Just look at (the/some/most) goddamn young authors these days; making us feel like we're reading the 324page edition of some TV-programme..

  13. use the source, Luke! on DALnet For Chatting, Not File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Now the time has come to "chat" in sourcecode, and compile the logfiles afterwards..

  14. Re:gonna have to start putting them in cases on 87GB On DVD-Sized Media · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but one way to make it more resistant is to have one of these disks in ReWritable format, and use one of those casettes, in which the media can be protected all the time, even when it's used. Dunno if these slot-loading drives are all that common anymore, though.


  15. pub(l)ic announcement on In Stores Soon: Perishable DVDs · · Score: 1

    When I receive such a disk, I will rip it as soon as I can, I repeat; RIP IT AS SOON AS I CAN

    Blow me legislators; I'm probably downloading one of your favourite albums as we speak..


  16. Re:What Kind Of Name Is "Blackcomb"? on Longhorn Server Scrapped · · Score: 1

    why don't they name the next release "Bluescreen", since that's where all Windows-users are when they'd much rather spend their time on a ski resort..

    Q: "What did the MS-Employee need to do on ALL ABOVE MENTIONED SKI-RESORTS/MOUNTAINS, when he lost one ski?

    A: "re-boot"..


  17. Re:Cache should be expandable on hard drives on Hard Drive of the Future: Ram Drive · · Score: 1

    why don't "they" just make motherboards with a separate battery for the onboard RAM.. it would be just as easy to use them for storage then..

    thanks.. I didn't notice that until you said it.

  19. The rain on windscreen in The Matrix on Browse All You Want At Work · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Very offtopic, but ever noticed how the rain animates itself down the back-window of "the car where the critter/bug is extracted"? It looks like matrix-code behaviour to me. Anyway, on my planet there's no rain moving quite like that rain does..

    ...yeah, yeah.. offtopic

    What I'm concerned about is that many atari/c64/amiga games wear-and-tear on joysticks, i.e. they're jerked around with constantly.
    When the joystick gets worn out, how useful are the games then? =)
