  1. Human side? on Microsoft Looks At Other Search Engines · · Score: 1

    Doesn't Ask Jeeves use actual people to categorize their database? What benefit could microsoft get from aquiring that? (I also haven't gotten any useful search results from Jeeves in over 2 years now... but that's beside this point...)

    It does FTP very poorly, have you ever noticed how long it takes to connect to an FTP with IE? even a local one? (eg: your comp..)

    telnet:// opens up your default telnet client, any other program that understands what the protocol bit at the beginning of the URL is does the same...

    Never mind...

  9. Re:Variable frame rate? on Better Media Container Formats? · · Score: 1

    Look again, he said variable BIT rate, XVID allows you to set a different bit rate for credits at the beginning and end of a video, it also allows you to set the color to black and white for those periods...

  10. Re:Keep putting it off. Please ! on Longhorn in 2006 · · Score: 1

    Ahh, but if you install gentoo a few weeks ago, that won't update GAIM, you'll have to emerge -u gaim AFTER that, and then wait for the newest xfree86-r2 or whatever to compile as well...

  11. Re:Java ? on Interview With Bjarne Stroustrup · · Score: 1

    Err... I know topics with a title that begin "Interview with" usually mean you can ask questions to the person... but this is an interview done by another site...
