    "What I mean is, code is what counts."
    That reminds me - I'm reading Extreme Programming Refactored (I probably shouldn't open that door) and it made me realize how that attitude is primordial to XP.

    Sure... post right before I do so I get marked as redundant! Maybe next time you'll think about others before acting.

    Could you explain a little more? It's not like slashdot is getting any real work done, yet we all agree we couldn't live without it, right?

    Seriously, sometimes it's time to think, and sometimes it's time for action. You mean now is definately not a time to think? (Pardon the messed up quote from Candy, I think..)

    Yeah, like "Media Player Classic" for example :)

    Maybe you should give foobar2000 a try - it's from one of the winamp2 developpers, it's very unbloated, and supports all kinds of plugins and looks.

    Another thing a saw recently was a usb key with a special netscape version preinstalled. I'm not sure if that means mozilla, or...

    The idea is to keep all temporary files (cookies, cache, histoy) on the key itself, so you don't "pollute" the host computer used for browsing.

    Actually, the tracker is the single point of failure in the bittorrent protocol.

    Anybody know where to get Burt's client? I'd still like to try it. I have to be able to throttle my upload, and the current client (3.3) doesn't allow that, unfortunately.

    Actually fixing the mime type like suggested below really is that easy.

  14. vt100 dumb terminal on What's the Oldest Hardware You are Still Using? · · Score: 1

    I've been using a couple of vision 1000 dumb terminals since I found them in the university trash over 5 years ago. When I'm not working from home, I have the terminal with me at work. Saved me a few times from rebooting when I could fix the problem thru the serial port.

    Now I have a couple of sparc II computers, and can't wait to connect them to the terminal - I don't have a monitor or keyboard for the sparc II, so the vt100 again is a life saver.

    That's strange. I had a problem when I first did the layout, where the language/copyright blue bar would stretch to cover the whole page, but I fixed it with the correct doctype.

    Out of curiosity, what version of Opera did you use? I tried 7.20 on Windows and it worked. I also have 6.05 laying around, and that one still shows the same problem.

    One of the first thing on the page, when the blue bar covers it completely, is a "[hide]" or "[cacher]" link. If you click that, the rest of the page should show. I guess I really really have to correct that problem - didn't think it was so serious.

    Thanks a lot for letting me know :)

  24. Re:How to create a persistant homedir on USB memor on Knoppix 3.3 Is Out · · Score: 3, Informative

    From the knoppix homepage:

    Possibility to create a persistent homedir with personal data and desktop settings on a memory stick or similar, optional with AES encryption.

    Also these options:

    • knoppix home=/dev/sda1/knoppix.img Mount loopback file as /home/knoppix
    • knoppix home=scan Automatic search for knoppix homedir
    • knoppix myconf=/dev/sda1 Load knoppix.sh from /dev/sda1

    If you want to bring in the big guns, there's knoppix-std too, with encryption support, etc.
