sidenote: you can still get the oldschool windows media player, start -> run mplayer2. Unless you mean the old old media player (~win3.11 era), which is around there somewhere but cant think of the name.
Mplayer is nice, though theres no good win32 gui for it yet. http://ftp5.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/releases/wi n32-be ta/ Maybe someone can roll something simple out to wrap it like kmpg123 does mpg123? (btw, I know gmplayer runs on windows also, but thats still way too buggy, in addition to being just as bad in the bling-over-features department as everything else)

Condition Zero) For about 2 months, you could use hlds(halflife dedicated severver)'s update tool to download the conditon zero server files, which included every single client file. All you had to do was put it in your half-life directory and it would load as a third party game, and play online with anyone that bought it.
CS:Source) If you knew the appid (which is in your blob cookie file) you could force it to preload even if you didnt meet the requirements (being a lan center at the time). They patched that after two days, but that preload was unencrypted and easily extracted. Of course, they did encrypt the preload of Codename Gordon, a free buggy/crappy flash game.

Sounds like a nice system, but I have two questions. 1) does it run linux? 2) Can I get a beowulf cluster?
" I'm frustrated the company would choose to reinforce this unfair stereotype about women. "
I'd say the problem is the opposite -- Not enough active disprovement. As what I assume their target audience is (young and lonely -- though I agree this idea is stupid.), I can say that I know those 'good' types of women are out there, but in real life theyre a lot more passive. It doesnt matter if that chick you saw at dairy queen is the sweetest most accepting chick ever, the fact that your only interaction with her was a breif glance makes it all meaningless. Instead the only thing we see is whats outward -- such as advertisements like this enforcing the stereotype as you said, TV where everyones happily in a relationship reminding you you're not, leading some to become bitter and further accept the stereotype as a rule. Whats one to think when all they actually see is bad?
Sorry if this post came out wrong.. posting at 4am does odd things to sentance and thought structure. I should probably post anonymously, but eh, what the hell.
Explore2fs is nice, but if you want something better, take a look at ext2fsd. You can actually mount the partition(eg, G:\ or whatever) and have all your data usable by any windows app, rather than having to navigate inside explore2fs and copy it out.
It can read/write ext2 and readonly ext3, and hasnt messed my data up yet. if you're scared leave it in its default readonly mode and you should be fine.
google will find a link, its also linked to at the official ext2fs homepage on sourceforge.
While I agree win32perl is really useful, its not as useful as on unix as its much harder to integrate it into other apps the way you can just pipe an app to perl. To that end, does anyone know if win32 perl can do win32api calls and/or other arbitrary dll use?
The question is what happens if it does? Does google the company die but the organization(search engine et all) stay? does it all go away? does it get ruined by shady practices like paid placement?
"cstrike\classes\shield.res" is still in the preloaded cs:s gcf. Whether or not they're just too lazy to remove it after disabling it in the code has yet to be seen.
Or for people who replace the contents on the drive fast enough that losing everything wouldn't matter. I've, uh, 'heard about' these magical FTP servers where the fact that they have >2tb of diskspace doesnt make failure matter, because at a gigabit of connection it will have all the current releases as soon as its brought back up, and old releases stop being useful for trading after a week.
What if you release your code under the public domain, but then sign the copyright over to novell? Can they retroactivly retract the public domain code, or is it just out there for everyone to copy however they want?
It could be seen as modifying and redistributing copyright material, if you pissed the right lawyers off. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for your idea, I'm just truely interested in any legal ramifications.
Great mod man, to quote my friend when doom3 first came out: "I guess all the ducttape is being used to hold the portals to hell closed so I cant even ducttape my flashlight to my shotgun"
The first one makes code folding useless. I'd paste an example, but the slapdash lameness filter won't let me, so just paste the code into vim, add (expression) after the if statement (not needed, but shows a point), and set these things:
then "zc" while on the if { line and it should collapse all of that block down to one line showing the if statement, indentation level, and how many lines are folded. Now try it on the first method, and it has no idea what the if statement is which now awkwardly sits on top. Which ones easier to work with?
should, might have to lower the quality a bit (namely texture compression, 128mb is the low-medium end. they say the textures fully uncompressed are ~500mb.)
(offtopic) I always heard them as 'arabic numerals' in school, but their roots are hindu. (more on topic)
I fully agree with you, and above that I believe they should be done the same way standard services do it -- Look at http:
5xx: Server error. 4xx: Client error(sort of. eg, entered wrong filename). 3xx: I don't even remember.. 2xx: Profit! or success.
That way you can easily look at the number, see the first digit and classify it, then just check a man page or two.
Or you could do them like microsoft which is much less immediately useful, but gets around the problem the SA(sarcastic asshole) mentioned: just display the numbers in hex. 0xC2A076B or whatever.

That day is now, or some date in the past to be percise. Look for "IEpatcher.exe", I think its an official mozilla project tool.

They've been pretty lax before, recent examples:

But damned if we wouldnt get it done fast.

Does anyone know of the legality of this? It sounds kind of shady, but no more so than just blocking the ads entirely.

The fact that we're just passing worse and worse laws, not improving in any way?
