  1. Re:Opendarwin on Mandrakelinux 10.1 Out For PPC · · Score: 2, Informative

    For those of you interested you can also run KDE in os X. I got it kinda working a while back and plan to try again when i have more time. See how well its progressed in the last few months.

    Here is a good place to start.

  2. Re:best way to deal with this on Best Buy: 20% Of Customers Are Wrong · · Score: 1

    I've worked there and the whole needing to reapply if you havent rented in 3 months and dont have the card they gave you does suck, but then them keeping your info on file for years sucks too. I have been told its because the computer system can not handle that many entries, but i dont believe it (even if it is running on dos). The needing to fill out an application to buy is bullshit. You should have kicked the kid. If things are rated R or M and you look young they are supposed to ask for ID but thats it. I still don't blame you for going to hollywood video (though personally i don't have much experiance with them).

  3. Re:Try this instead: on Cherry OS Claims Mac OS X Capability For x86 · · Score: 1

    I still say I need MoL running in OS X... Unlike before, the new one (at least the dev snapshot) will now configure build and install under OS X. However I have yet to get it to run (no time to play with it). Anyone else seen it done or done it them selves?

  5. Airport extreme on CRUX PPC Goes 2.0 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I had good success setting up crux recently on my g4 ibook. Everything worked well and they way it was supposed to. Unfortunatly Airport extreme is still not supported, and from what i heard it will be a while untill it is. Hope someone with the skills to write drivers does...

  7. Crux on iBook on Quick Reviews Of The Latest From Crux, Knoppix · · Score: 1

    I got an iBook at the begining of this year (being my first no linux machine in quite a while) and wanted to install dome flavor of linux alongside os x as soon as possible. I had no luck getting any distro to work right as all seemed aimed at the g3. Crux however is compileing the kernel at this very moment. Unlike the other distro's the install is going as expected could actually be done with little linux experiance from the instructions given (as is the intent of crux)

  8. iMac on Stunning, Classic Computer Console, from 1958? · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else seriously think it was going to be an iMac right up until they saw the actualy mod pictures? Even when i was going to click on it i could have sworn it would send me here.

  9. I love that movie! on What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen? · · Score: 1

    It really is a crappy movie but at the same time you just can't stop watching because it is so funny. To beleive that someone actually thought up the plot of this movie...

    The movie Ed Wood is all bout making this. It is funny as hell.

  11. Re:First Post and On Topic on Hydan: Steganography in Executables · · Score: 1

    The reason that it is still secret is not because people have not because people had not been able to or heard of steganography, but because of the shear volume of traffic going across the wire on the internet, that to check for a hidden message in each and every file would be rediculous. Not only would you need to think to look, but you would also need to have a good idea what to look for.

  12. Meaning of Life on Rosetta Comet Chaser Images Earth and Moon · · Score: 4, Interesting

    First thing i thought of?


    Galaxy Song

    Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
    And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
    That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
    A sun that is the source of all our power.
    The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
    Are moving at a million miles a day
    In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
    Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.


    Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
    It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
    It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
    But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
    We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
    We go 'round every two hundred million years,
    And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
    In this amazing and expanding universe.


    The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
    In all of the directions it can whizz
    As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
    Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
    So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
    How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
    And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
    'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

  13. Re:Huh-huh-huh, You said "Squeeze" on Squeezing Coal To Reduce Emissions · · Score: 1

    This is by far the funniest post with a score of 0 i have ever seen. If only i had mod points. Don't waste points modding me down (though this is a useless post) please give this guy credit...

  14. Re:POP go the meteors? on NASA Predicts A Good Year For Perseids · · Score: 4, Informative

    Although not a pop, you could hear a hissing sound. There was a /. artical about it quite a while back (that i could not find) but here are a few that talk about hearing a hiss as the meteor is going through the atmosphere. There is also a method using reflected radio signals to hear a meteor, though that requires equipment and not just your ears.

    I can understand you being upset about dupes, however not only are there a plethera of new stories each day, but you can also go into your preferences and select if you want to see CmdrTaco's posts or not. If he keeps putting up dupes and you can't take it anymore, stop reading his posts. Seems fairly simple...

  16. Re:numbers 0-9 on Building Your Own Extra-Large Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Typewriters initially did not have numbers on them at all. Could it be that the first ones with numbers had only 1-9 and people were to use O as 0 and that when the 0 was added they placed it at the end so that the numbers would not be shifted over?

    Yes the parent may be a troll and i know trolls are not to be listend to, however the troll mentions one thing that i spent hours trying to do. I wanted to see if there were a way to have OS X installed and be able to switch (even if it ment logging out and killing apps) between the normal mac gui (only... aka no XFree86 or X11) to running XFree86/X11 along with some window manager (kde?) only (not the normal mac gui (quartz?)). Anyone have success, or know if its doable, at being able to use only X and switch back easily?

  22. Re:No brainer on Is A Catch-All Address Worth The Spam? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    With my catch all address (that is now off) the biggest problem was not receiving spam its self, but receiving error reply's sent back to my domain when someone was sending out random spam with the from feild being a random address from my domain. I tried getting it stopped and tried appoligizing to people that actuly got the spam and asked to be taken off the list, however the sheer number of them forced my to just get rid of the catch all address.

  23. Waterbed on Globalwin Jefi Watercooling Kit Reviewed · · Score: 1

    For anyone who may have a water bed (me included) i have considered using it as a cooler. My initial thought was to do something similar to what is done in this water cooler except closed and relying on the surface area of the bed to put off the heat (also will keep bed alightly warm in winter... no more need for a heater) the only problem i could think of is if someone jumpped on and the presure popped something in my computer (that would suck)

    recently someone suggested running tubes under the bed(touching the mattress its self) to act like a radiator in direct contact with the mattress (works well for my laptop). Any one else ever tried a waterbed water cooler for a pc (as random and bizare as it is)?
