  1. Re:Unlearning on Windows to Mac Migration Guide/Advice? · · Score: 1

    This can be turned of under (at least) Windows XP. So you can watch the BSOD. I did it once to figure out why my laptop restarted so often, it was because of a display driver problem.
    BSODs are sooo helpful!

  2. Re:Speaking as a famous? NWN mod author... on Neverwinter Nights 2 Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    Their magical (special) mount was the main problem. It was not implemented in NWN.

  3. Re:Despite what some people say on Windows Accelerators - Do They Really Work? · · Score: 1

    I got a lot of crashes with Windows XP home edition, now I am running Windows Server 2003 on my workstation, and it is really stable. No BSOD, (Win XP gave a BSOD at least every week).
    With some tweaking and adjustment, windows 2003 is really usable as workstation. Even games work.
    Oh and BTW: I am running a webserver (Slackware 9.0) on a P 120 with 48 meg RAM. Uptime now: 75 days.

  4. Re:Would they consider ogg vorbis and or flac? on No WMA for HP iPod · · Score: 1

    It is not easy to make benefits out of an audio format that is open source and not DRM, therefor it is easy to understand why they avoid ogg. And from the DRM point of view they could better look at WMA...
    Oh, wait, where was this article about?

  5. Re:They should benchmark development time on Performance Benchmarks of Nine Languages · · Score: 1

    They should benchmark development time
    Java is just more easy to learn, but when you code as good in C++ as in JAVA, there should be no big difference in development time. But as said before, Java is more easy, thus from that point of view it has an shorter development time.

  6. That sounds like a good working app. on Internet Archive Opens Crawler Code Under LGPL · · Score: 5, Funny

    From their FAQ: if you are comfortable grabbing code directly from CVS, wrestling with incomplete documentation, and running into undocumented limitations, would you want to use the current software.
    Undocumented limitations? That sounds like a lot of fun!

  7. VoIP on Vint Cerf on the Future of the Net · · Score: 5, Insightful

    As long as most (older) people I know have a 56k or 64k internet connection, and have to pay per minute online time, VoIP and the like will not become mainstream soon.

    It is not that those people do not want a broadband connection, it is just not available at an affordable price in a lot of places.

    And in order to make something successfull it should be available to (almost) everyone.

  8. Re:You have been rooted, welcome to BSD on Depenguinator "Upgrades" Linux to BSD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You have been rooted, welcome to BSD
    From the Depenguinator site: it requires quite a lot of RAM (512MB is enough; 256MB might be, but I'm not sure)

    Please give it a try on my Linux Box, 120 MHz and 48 meg RAM, running Slackware 9.0 hehe...

  9. Memory usage? what about ash? on Which Shell Do You Prefer? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It is the default shell for many Linux floppy distributions. It does NOT have command line completion, but when it comes to memory usage, you should really look at it.
