  1. Emulators on Gameboy Advance Clone Superemulator · · Score: 1

    Here's an overview of emulators and how they perform:

    http://homepage.ntlworld.com/joseph.lebrech/emulat ors.html

    It appears that only the 8-Bit consoles can be emulated well.

  2. Re:This is a good development on XPde Makes X11 Resemble Windows · · Score: 1
    A lot of people will complain that linux shouldn't be copying Windows..
    ..while forgetting that Linux is basically a ripped off UNIX. Linus hasn't invented anything new, he just copied the existing UNIX.
  3. Google? on newdocms: Beyond the Hierarchical File System · · Score: 1

    This is Google for your Harddrive. Why do people keep complaining about this? The idea is AWESOME.

  4. 25 years? No 15 years on Has Software Development Improved? · · Score: 1

    Brooks, Frederick P., "No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering," Computer, Vol. 20, No. 4 (April 1987) pp. 10-19.

    2002 - 1987 = 15 years

  6. Qt from Trolltech on Competitive Cross-Platform Development? · · Score: 1

    Qt from Trolltech gives you a cross-platform GUI library, that creates applications looking natively on each OS (Windows, Mac OSX and GNU/Linux).

  7. Re:Mirror on Case Mod Collection · · Score: 3, Informative

    Unfortunately, google cache doesn't help much in this case, as it does not provide images.

  8. Re:Hear, hear... on PPC Linux vs. Mac OS X Server: Linux Edges Out · · Score: 1
    What does Windows have

    Well,

    (almost) consistent look across all applications. Thus, not having to install 10'000 skins (GTK, KDE, ..) just to change the look of your whole desktop.

    drag and drop / clipboard that just works

  10. Why Phoenix? on Phoenix 0.3 Is Out · · Score: 1

    ..when there is Galeon. Galeon has a LOT of additional features and all the bloat removed from Mozilla: http://galeon.sourceforge.net/

    What many people don't know: You can start Galeon in server mode, what will keep the Galeon process in memory to allow it starting faster (1 secs): /usr/bin/galeon --server --server-timeout=0 &

    There you go.

  11. TheBat! on Improving Unix Mail Storage? · · Score: 1

    In fact, one of these pathetic windows clients has found a quite good solution, IMHO: Files are extracted from the mail body and stored in a seperate folder. This is has many advantages:

    1. You can easily browse this folder, deleting files you don't want. As you pointed out, Attachements use the most space and like this, you must only keep what you want.

    2. By directly writing them to binary files, no space is wasted (other than keeping them as MIME).

    TheBat's Mail format is far from being perfect. Mails are still written seqentially into a mail file (We all know this effect of "deleted mails", which are physically on disk).

  12. Re:Try a new method! on Sometimes, Microsoft is Right... · · Score: 1

    Netcaptor does this on windows.

  13. A Brainfuck Interpreter in PHP on Quadrilingual Crazy Programming · · Score: 4, Informative

    I wrote a Brainfuck interpreter in PHP a while ago which also includes a short introduction to the language.

    By the way, Brainfuck was initially named "Mental Masturbation", but the Author Oliver Müller then stuck to a less offensive name :)

  14. Re:Cool! on WonderSwan Advance · · Score: 1

    What do you mean by the "cellphone/modem" circuit? The possibility of connecting a cellphone to it?

    I've been to Japan just recently and purchased a GBA. In the manual there were some pictures of how to attach a cellular phone to the GBA. I couldn't read the text, but it's probably for multiplayer games.

  15. Re:how about an NES handheld? on WonderSwan Advance · · Score: 1

    In fact, there is a NES-Emulator for the GBA! Check this out: http://www.nolag.com/code/gbdev/pocketnes/

    In order to play games, you need a ROM-writer from lik-sang
