  1. Re:Small? F***ing huge more like... on Tiny Apps · · Score: 1

    4 colour high res? it was only 2, i'm afraid. but you could choose which colours you used out of the entire palette of EIGHT!.

    but yeah, you had to load your program, disable the disk system, shift it down the memory and then change graphics mode if you really needed that extra ~2.5k.

    wasn't '84 the 'b' model? didn't the 'a' only have 16? and the screen took from 1-20k's depending on what res/number of colours you wanted.

    yup. the link seems to be down, but as there's no mention of .mp3, i assume that this hasn't been cracked.

    and mp3's are the ones where digital "rights" are enforced.

    i think he means the printer redirection feature, where if you print from a remote application it is redirected to the local printer on the client machine.

    you've tried it then? why not have a look here [microsoft.com] for the recommended configuration. i think you'll find that 16-32 megs should offer perfectly reasonable performance.

    i think it's quite clear why you chose to be anonymous, rather than put your name to that comment.

  10. Re:We need to make a competitor to Passport! on Microsoft: The Gatekeeper of the Internet · · Score: 1

    yeah, decentralised passport, great. then we have even less control of where our personal information is stored and what happens to it. no idea of what security/privacy policies are in place.

    a passport daemon on *your* computer? what about it running on mine? do you know me, do you trust me? who says i'm not going to post it to www.d0ggyp0rn.com in return for a month's free access?

    at least with microsoft holding all the info we'll know who to name, blame and flame when the whole thing goes tits up on us.

    i know this is going to sound far more pro ms than i want it to, but:

    you don't need winxp as the client. rdc in winxp is just an enhanced AND neutered(!) terminal services server. the client software will run on any ms os back to 3.1. which would suit your 486 nicely.

    with the terminal services advanced client you can even embed the client in a webpage, downloading the client for you when you first view it. i find it very useful at work, where i can get access to my own desktop from anywhere in the building using internet explorer.

    of course you're changing the temperature merely by measuring it.

    except the version of rdc on xp pro limits you to one connection at a time and blanks out the screen of the host pc whilst you're doing it.
