    Scroll down until you get to the part about 'Bindings'. That should give you basically what you want, although its more verbose than just

    x + y
  2. Re:Call me ignorant, but... on Rexx Is Still Strong After 25 years · · Score: 1

    Heres a bad analogy but: Rexx is to OS/2 as AppleScript is to Mac OS.

  3. Re:Outlook on Next Generation Mail Clients Reviewed · · Score: 1

    The most amusing thing I found was that he didn't review Eudora was because it was closed source and not availible for Linux . He then precedes to review Outlook.

    Ah yes, DRI works for you with the Nvidia driver. You know that the Nvidia driver doesn't use the DRI infrastructure right?

    I think they need to modify that warning to include the fact that Ontopic, calm, appropiate, legal and defensive comments might be moderated as well.

    I'm gonna be a loser now and ask why this hasn't been modded up to the sky?

  8. Re:According to this it works... on Is E-Mail Obscuration Worth It? · · Score: 1

    I believe he is referring to using HTML entities to "spell out" the email address. Like how you write & for &, but using the entities for @ . the letters, etc.

  9. Re:I still play with my Lego :) on Lego Goes Back to the Basics: Building Blocks · · Score: 1

    I dunno, I kinda liked the ones with instructions when I was younger. It gave you something to say ok, now I am finished. Hey thats pretty cool. Then of course you'd disassemble it to varying degrees in order to make something else later, of course. Plus the model-specific parts are useful in other stuff too. You can't tell me you never wanted to stick a ray gun on your custom sub.

    this is just begging for some clever pun invovling IRC, but what that pun is, I can't think of yet.

    The point is, its still being sent over the internet, and therefore counts as part of internet traffic.

    I think perhaps you don't know that UDP still needs endpoints (or in other words, Internet Protocol addresses).

    The article refers to "Internet connections", UDP is transported over IP.

    ahh yes, the weight is magically increasing because of the food we eat. Listen to yourself. Weight is relative the Earth anyway, its the mass thats imporatant. And the mass is not gonna change. We don't conjure magical mass out of thin air.

  17. Re:Now equivalent or better than BeOS for latency? on ArsTechnica Explains O(1) Scheduler · · Score: 1

    Ok, I didn't use BeOS for any extended length of time, (I installed MAX or something like that, one of the distros that were based on the PE) and this is purely anecdotal, but I recently put 2.6.0 on the same box as I had beos on, and my first thought was, damn this is as good as BeOS. I had a movie playing in mplayer, XMMS playing a song, (esd was doing the audio mixing btw), OpenOffice open, Mozilla, and Galeon, and it was lightning fast. This is on a box that in 2.4.2x would "skip" when playing music in xmms (and not doing anything else other than having GAIM open). Maybe its not quite at the responsiveness of BeOS yet, but it is damn close.

  19. Re:Good ruling on Online Gamer Wins Virtual Theft Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    He wasn't paying them to store his data, he was paying them to be entertained. (Ie the definition of a game). Let's pretend you're playing cribbage and someone moves your peg back (costing you points) when you aren't looking. Do you sue the company that made the cribbage board and the deck of cards? You didn't buy cribbage to accumulate points, you bought cribbage to have fun playing a game. The points aren't your property, they are an indicator of how you are doing(did) in the game. Same as this guys red moon items. Some mob dropped them (he killed somehting in game) or he sold something and bought them, etc. You don't pay to accumlate virtual items, you pay to play a game. Thats the service you pay for. That's what they offer.
