  1. Re:Just wondering... on Bash 3.0 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The fact that zsh can't handle multibyte characters correctly was the deciding factor for me, if they ever get around to do it in zsh I might give it a whirl again. bash 2.05b does a good job with my filenames containing utf-8 multibyte characters, so whatever the additions to that code are in 3.0 I'll probably not notice :)

  2. Re:Standard answer: Google/Froogle on Dongles to Fake Presence of a Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    And behold, I made an ass out of myself by not even bothering to read the whole story.

  3. Standard answer: Google/Froogle on Dongles to Fake Presence of a Keyboard? · · Score: 5, Informative
  4. What, no OSS license for the winner this round? on Linux 2.6 Kernel Pool Results · · Score: 1

    Is it just me that think it's odd that 4Front didn't sponsor with a OSS license for the 2.6 betting pool?

  5. Re:vi on Georgy Tells Why She Should Be California Gov · · Score: 1
    no modpoints, so I'll settle with a quote:

    LEAVING vi

    ZZ exit from vi, saving changes.
    :q! exit from vi, discarding changes.

  6. Re:They should get their shit together on Only Thieves Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 1
    Actually, you most certainly have
    Preferences -> Advanced -> Scripts & Plugins -> Allow webpages to: -> Open unrequested window
    turned off. Instant theft!
  7. It wasn't me... on Beware the Haunted Cordless keyboard · · Score: 5, Funny

    Finally I'll have a decent excuse why that webpage full of naked women was on the screen when my girlfriend walks into the computer room. "I swear honey, it wasn't me.."

  8. "Llamas, Camels and Sheep in Space" on Will Wright on Game Design · · Score: 1

    I'd much rather see Jeff 'Yak' Minters reply to 'What are you trying to do with this thing that you're creating?'

  9. Re:That's ok... on Palm Ships With 12-bit Screen, Says 16-Bit On Box · · Score: 1

    4096 colors, that would be HAM (Hold And Modify) mode.. Sure, it worked for pictures, but I'd never read text in HAM mode. *brr*

  10. I can't help it... on A Better Way to Enter Text On a Palmtop · · Score: 2, Funny

    But this feels like something Jeff 'Yak' Minter would have thought of a long time ago. Attack of the Mutant Alphabet?

  11. Re:MAD Plugin on Using Winamp vis. Plugins with xmms · · Score: 1

    MAD was ported to XMMS a long time ago. XMMS-MAD

  12. Re:XMMS rocks, where's a no-gui version for old PC on Using Winamp vis. Plugins with xmms · · Score: 1

    It's not that we don't want to, it's the time it would take, and the time we don't have. There's too many things that we want to do with XMMS, and mostly that ends up as not done at all.

  13. Re:please don't feed the trolls on Using Winamp vis. Plugins with xmms · · Score: 1

    We didn't? It's in the docs, but hey, I don't blame you, noone ever reads the manuals.

  14. Re:Winamp is better than XMMS on Using Winamp vis. Plugins with xmms · · Score: 1

    Oh really, people have been nagging about this and that plugin ever since X11AMP/XMMS started supporting plugins. We just can't include everything, and a whole lot of bunch don't fit in the XMMS distribution. It's just a player, not the kernel.
