Well, at least nearly, theres been something like this at a blackspot near my house for the last 5 years or so, they dont have any of the electronics, just a little solar panel and an LED. And yes, theyre fine when youre going toward them, but you can of course see the ones on the other side of the road after you pass in your peripheral vision, and in your mirrors, which is incredibly distracting.
Why would apple be any better? Its not like they dont have DRM in any of their products, just because they havent said anything about Hardware DRM (As far as i know), doesnt mean they wont implement it in the future. Stuff like this doesnt worry me, as long as theres a market for non DRM enabled motherboards someone will make them, if they can get it in processors that'll be a different matter of course.
Dont forget Psygnosis, makers of Wipeout, who i assume have been bought out since their website no redirects to the Sony PS2 one.
And the excellent Software Refinery, makers of Hardwar, IMHO one of the best flight/fight/trader thingies ever. Got out of the game business a while ago.
Digging around in the old kernel configs seems to suggest this as the likely change that got me it working: Device Drivers -> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL Support -> PCI IDE Chipset Support -> Generic PCI bus-master DMA Support -> AMD and Nvidia IDE Support. THats in the 2.6 Menu config, also, theres an option to turn dma off in my bios, dont know if it would be the same for you. I assume it defaults to on though, be cause windows has never had trouble with using dma on disks.
I had problems with transfer rates on my Nforce board, (Epox 8RDA+) when i first put gentoo on there. Couldnt get hdparm to turn on DMA access. Turns out id forgotten to compile in support for the right controllers, which i only noticed recently when i changed to kernel 2.6.3
You'll be wanting the flash click to play extension, puts a big ugly box where teh flash should go until you tell it to play. clicky I find it works best with the ad blocking stuff running as well, that way half the flash ads are already blocked.
Its a standard usb HID. Just mash yourself an extension cable into a usb cable (even colour coded right) and get the drivers, dont have a url, but x-box scene has plenty of tutorials.
Maybe you should try Firefox, no splash screen, and the shift click opens in a new window, as in IE. Admittedly, its not exactly the same, the window opens the same as the parent, so if thats maximized so is the child. But its pretty damn similiar, and i imagine theres a way to change the behaivour. I think ctrl-click in firefox is much more useful (opens link in a background tab).
They handle pretty well on nice smooth roads, but for real world roads - get a rally bred 4 wheel drive machine!
Surely the same argument applies, for real world roads you want a normal car, designed to work on real world roads, not a rally car, which are designed to work on rally tracks, which are distinctly not normal roads.
And sorry, but if you had 100K to spend on a car you could do so much better than a Ford GT, Im thinking, Jaguar XKR, Jaguar XJ220, Aston Martin DB7 GT/Vantage, Hell, if it was me id have 2, An BMW M3 for the week and a Noble for the weekends.
Wtf is it with people saying the mario games are for kids? Mario games are fun, just because they arent full of sex and violence doesnt make thm for kids. I have all 3 consoles, and the GC gets far more play than any of the others, and will for the foreseeable future, at least until Halo 2 is released.
And for the record GC does have one other fantastic RPG, Eternal Darkness, which is one of the best games ive played in a long while. Theres also Zelda, which i never really liked on the snes, so havent played. But most people seem to think its pretty good.
Sure, its not just a wheel, but i had a minidisc player that used a wheel for input ages before the iPod even came out, (we're talking 6 years, and i doubt it was a brand new model when i bought it). Its main use was for adding names to tracks, although IIRC you could use it for changing tracks etc.
Admittedly it wasnt snazzy and recessed like on the ipod, more like those you get round the outside of some watches, but i would hardly call changing the finish and recessing something innovation.
My apologies, i have only experience with wine on x86 machines, i imagined it would run on anything. How about bochs then? or this looks to be in a pretty early stage though.
Surely you can get wine? Civ 2 and 3 both work fine IIRC. I dont know if theres an OSX port of WIne, but if not its trivial to set up a small linux partion to use it.
In what way is the PS2 the best console for a family? Even a relatively old one, (14-15 yr old kids) would surely be better off with a Game Cube? Have you ever played a good multiplayer game on the ps2? I know i havent, hell i cant even think of any, about the only reason i can think of to buy one is for FF, and when FF:CC comes out in what, a month, even that reason will be gone.
Just out of interest, why does everyone insist on saying GCN? why do all consoles have to have 3 letter abbreviations? whats wrong with GC? or PS (as opposed to PSX, the PS1, not the japanese settop box thing) for that matter?
I think the main reason the PS2 sells so well is pirate games. Certainly where i live its trivial to get hold of copies of ps2 games, and just as easy to get them chipped. It certainly isnt the mature market, we have all 3 consoles in my house (20 yrold students) and the only one that never gets played is the ps2. With the lions share of the gaming being on the cube, excluding marathon halo sessions of course.
Windows still creates the Administrator account if you set a user up during the install. You can only see it in safe mode, or by using 'net user' at a prompt. On my box there are 3 other accounts i had nothing to do with, Guest, which is turned off, HelpAssistant, and support something or other. Now guest i dont mind, but if help assistant is the account for using the remote desktop control thingy then i want to get rid of it.
As for making all accounts created during install admins, that kind of makes sense, since non admin accounts on XP are the most useless things ever (cant install most software, only write to your own home directory) At least if you have your file system set to NTFS anyway.
I wasnt trying to start a flame war or anything. Just because every other tabbed browser does it doesnt mean firebird should. I bet you want all the emacs keys mapping to match vi? And as other users have said, the tabbrowser extension will do everything you want. The, "it doesnt do it out of the box" argument doesnt really apply, as firebird is designed to be extensible and lightweight. Theres little point in them including poweruser features that add bloat, when power users will have the know how to install them.
Slashdot Mirror
Thunderbird. Top class email client, with a nice and simple rss reader in there. Was introduced in 0.8 IIRC.
Torrent is already up on filerush. clicky looks pretty sweet, if you like that sort of thing.
Also filerush has one. clicky maxing out my connection at the moment.
Or Go to the KCeasy sourceforge page and download 0.11 which has the fasttrack stuff still in there.

According to Working Lunch, thats nearly 2.5 weeks profits, bet Bills shaking in his diamond encrusted T-Rex skin boots.

A factoid would just be confusing though, because a good number of BBC radio 2 listeners will know factoids as interesting bits of trivia.
