    What's he like? It's not important...
    Spider/Diff." :)

    Try NX. It's free edition will do what you need just fine, and provides persistent X11 connections. www.nomachine.com

  3. Re:What Is A "Reverse Hacker"? on Reverse Hacker Awarded $4.3 Million · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking white hat, but perhaps grey hat in a technical sense. I think that he was performing ethically, and shouldn't have been reprimanded, let alone fired. He deserves this judgment.

  4. Re:real guitar adapter on Guitar Hero II Coming to 360 · · Score: 1

    I play a 12-string, you insensitive clod !

    File -> Properties -> Statistics tab There's a perfectly functional word count.

  10. Re:Who the fuck do you think they're talking to? on Hams Complain about Powerline Broadband · · Score: 1

    Alright then, you can pay for one satellite for each potential person or airplane that is using it (remember, a satellite can only repeat one signal at a time).

    Lemme do the math. Now I might be wrong, but that sounds a lot like a couple hundred million dollars. Would you like to make monthly installments?

    Also, on another note, satellites are frequently affected by solar flares and geomagnetic storms, which means that satellites could be useless when we need them the most.

    Now see how much we depend on HF spectrum?

  11. Why hasn't Diebold filed for an injunction yet on Diebold Voting Systems Grossly Insecure · · Score: 1

    Why did this paper get published, when Diebold could have filed for an injunction under the DMCA, preventing people from finding out that their system is insecure? :/

    Actually, when Microsoft first bought Hotmail, they were running Solaris. Microsoft tried to move the systems over to Windows NT, but the systems couldn't handle the high stress of millions of users logging in at once - they promptly moved back to Solaris. Don't know when they moved to POMS (Piece of Microsoft S***) software...

  15. If this is true... on Microsoft to Buy Vivendi Games Division? · · Score: 1

    Let Sierra rest in peace.

    I guess I should expect to see DEFUNCT under Sierra's status on Home of the Underdogs.

    Try to imagine Kings Quest for X-Box...

    Read the page for DJGPP - true, it is written for DOS, but for it works on all 32-bit versions of Windows.

  18. GCC/DJGPP on Competitive Cross-Platform Development? · · Score: 2, Informative

    gcc is cross-platform, can cross-compile to different platforms, and for those who feel the need to use Windows, gcc has been ported, to the ever-popular development suite called DJGPP.
