I've had Opera since version 3, but never paid for a license. A while ago, I downloaded a keygen for Opera 6 off of KaZaA, and it worked fine on my copy of Opera 6.03... for a week.
After exactly a week of using the cracked version, it kind of "exploded"... the splash screen was gone, my bookmarks file had been overwritten with 0's (not just deleted, but actually 0'd out... yeesh), and I couldn't use it until I uninstalled and reinstalled it.
At first I thought it was just my computer messing up, or a glitch in Opera, but later I tried it on my dad's computer (I had also given him a key b/c he wanted one), it did the same thing. So I think Opera has a system to detect keygen made keys and sets off a time bomb...
Pontifex (the sequal to Bridge Builder) has pretty convincing physics, at least to me. Of course, the whole game idea was created around a physics engine, but there are at least some game with good physics. I also have heard somewhere that UT2002 will have an accurate physics engine.
I've always found that most of the time I don't have to reboot nearly as much as MS wants me to when installing Windows... how? Well, instead of rebooting every time it asks you to (say, for 10 different updates it might ask 10 times), just click Cancel/No, and then once everything is done installing, reboot the machine yourself. Saved me hours back in the '95 days. I've only come across one installer that forces you to reboot, and that's DirectX, which doesn't have to be updated that often.
Have you ever tried swapping motherboards on Windows? How much hair did you lose?
None. I recently changed from a 500 mhz celeron to an 800mhz duron and of course had to change motherboards, and when I booted into 2000 for the first time, everything was just fine - I don't even think I had to reboot to get everything going. I'm still running that system right now, with no problem.
It's good that Trident is still trying to compete in the 3D graphics market, but all of their past 3D accelerated cards (at least all the ones I've read about) have had horrible support. It seems standard for Trident to release 1 driver set for each OS the card works with and then never touch it again. Disappointing really, as that means we'll probably never see the full potential of this card... I know it was that way for my Blade3D that I had at least.
Opera 6 can be used in MDI mode, or SDI mode with the option of using tabs to browse with. It works nicely too, but I tend to not use it, as it doesn't seem too well integrated yet into the system.
what the fuck is the point of crypto if it has widely known backdoors. Thats like locking the door to a house with no walls!!!!! Completely idiotic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, you could make the cockpit out of 20 foot thick bullet proof glass and some metal, and fill it with deadly gas so that nobody would WANT to get in. But then no pilots could get in either, so I guess that wouldn't work.
When I walked to school today, gas was $1.75 a gallon(yes, high, but this is Oregon), now its $1.95 here. It went up $.20 within 8 hours. Thats ridiculous!!

I'll be listening to Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik years from now, I'll bet. Sorry, just had to reply. =)

Anyone else have any experience with this?
Then if we get rid of the government altogether everything would be perfect!

actually computers give off quite a bit of RF noise even if properly grounded. So I guess they must not be sheilded very well.
But don't tell them you will do all those things. They'd probably freak out and try to get you killed or something.
that was just a "show off" thing(and it was running QNX4 not RTP). The full cd comes with compilers, games, etc...
thats definately qnx. I have a copy of it on my system and I'd probably be using it now if it supported my modem.
