If you had skull windows, you'd have to find some way to get a cold cathode in there...either that, or adapted police officers wouldn't need the flashing light on their helmet any more.
There *is* no Direct Connect network. It's just a selection of different hubs. It's not peer-to-peer because it requires a "server" (the hubs) for each individual network to function.
There are a few lists of publicly-available hubs, but it's not a "connect and get at everyone on the planet" system.
I see some other suggestions here, but here's one I used:
RedMon redirects a print stream into a program. Install a PostScript printer (say a LaserWriter), print through RedMon to ghostscript to produce a PDF.
Going to be evil and say I use nano on the console.
In X, I always use NEdit. Fast to load (gedit takes a good few seconds to open...it's a text editor, I want it *NOW*), and dead easy to use. I like its syntax highlighting, I remember adding some patterns for ABAQUS input files without too much difficulty, and I'd only been using it a few days then.
Most of the time now, it appears Freetype handles rendering the fonts, then sends a series of glyphs to the X server, which (hopefully) uses the RENDER extension to draw them. If something wants to go ahead and composite its window itself, it won't get the other benefits.
My Linux box takes a fair while to start up, a lot of that is the BIOS stuff, common to Linux and Windows.
To be honest, they're about the same time, and it's not like people turn on their PC and then *sit there waiting* for it to show them the login prompt. You do something else... multitask!
That I can see, I'd prefer Ogg Media support just because then I can have my *text* subtitles (i.e., rendered by the player) inside the file, rather than needing a separate.srt file for the player to pick up.
That I've seen, nothing from XviD is used while playing in MPlayer. If it's MPEG-4, it goes through ffmpeg by default. Under Windows, I believe the XviD codec handles it instead. Perhaps the XviD codec prefers quality and ffmpeg prefers speed?
Not sure how useful it'll be, but for video, bsplayer under Windows used to work quite well for me.

Yes, but those are useful things. Tapping people's phone conversations isn't (and no complaining about listening to the Mafia/terrorists/etc., they do enough illegal stuff anyway that using "illegal encryption" is probably the least of their worries should they be arrested, so no doubt they already do it...or *should*, if they had any sense).
One place I worked we used RCS instead of CVS just for this reason, since everyone sat within 10m of each other and didn't work on the same products, it was less hassle just to have everyone lock the files they were using. It only caused (potential) problems when we needed to make changes to certain libraries, but in those cases I tended to get given a list of things to fix.
I have a domain that resolves to my router. My ISP doesn't let me alter the rDNS:
mybox.myhome.net -> 123.123.123.123
123.123.123.123 -> host-123-123-123-123.isp.com
However, it submits on the appropriate ports (doesn't just blast away on port 21). But my original point still stands, if the remote end doesn't like the rDNS, or that it comes from a dynamic netblock, bounce it and I'll know. Just dropping it is pretty unhelpful.
Goes for most people running a local mail server on their home DSL/Cable account.
I have my router/firewall handling outgoing mail sends, but its hostname resolves to its IP fine. However, the rDNS for that IP goes to the generic host-123-123-123-123.isp.com, thus this would block it.
That said, assuming your block is correct, I'd get a bounce saying there was a problem, allowing me to find an alternate route should it be desperate.
I use mplayer for video anyway, just never got round to sorting out FF's plugins (I never willingly load media off the web, I save to file and run from there).
Thanks for the reminder, though...it's always the little things.
Channel 4 (in the UK) used to show a program called Exploitica, which seems pretty similar to MST3K (never saw it, they don't show it in the UK). B-movies with extra speech bubbles edited together. Quite funny at 3 in the morning...
As for other bad films, "Ninja The Protector" is one of the best worst films I've ever seen. It has ninjas. And motorbikes. And ninjas on motorbikes.

I don't recall GTA ever having adverts in it. Not to mention having an advertising billboard when you're looking from the top is a tad pointless...

Can go both ways, it seems.
It also seemed to have a severe problem with passives, flat-out refusing to let me use them.
I know Americans don't like them too much, but if I pick UK English, I want the real rules.

Never met the Irish, then?
That said, I used "liquor" in place of "any generic alcoholic drink" because it was simpler.
U.S. pints are only 473ml? No wonder you all seem to be able to hold your liquor, you're cheating!
IIRC that was Barclay...

Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamppost: for support, not illumination.

It's also total crap (£2.50 for the DVD...)
