  1. What about blowers? on Beagle 2 Failure Theories · · Score: 1

    What if they included some sort of fan to blow the dust off? This would be incredibly simple to add onto a rover and would definately not scratch the panels. How about it?

  3. Re:When you say Fido on Fido Launches New Broadband Wireless Access · · Score: 1

    Accessing the net back then .. when it started was normally via a 300 baud modem connect to a local collage VAC system, and then only with a terminal program, and that would allow you to ftp to sunsite and such.
    When I was a kid I used to walk 5 miles to school uphill both ways through the worst blizzrd of the century every day - and I liked it.

  5. Re:You have never tried encoding a CD to vorbis... on Real's Reality · · Score: 0

    I smell a troll...I've never done it becasue there's no fucking point. I've downloaded CD's encoded in ogg and it was nothing but a hassle because the media player I use for all my other music doesn't support it. Know what I do when I accidentally download ogg-encoded bullshit? Delete it and re-download it in mp3. There's no gain in sound quality, so why not just use mp3 like the rest of the world? I like having all my music in the same format, and I like having that format to be a highly accesible and widely-used one to ensure this thing called "compatability." Do you have some sort of disorder where you have to be different to feel good about yourself? You must be the kind of person who uses obscure formats just to get off on it and piss off everyone else who uses more standard formats. As soon as ogg becomes a widely supported de-facto format with new useful features, then I'll consider switching. Until then I'll stick with mp3, thank you. Honestly whoever created ogg wasted their time, it offers no benefits over more standard formats. Get a fucking clue.

  6. Re:What do... on Real's Reality · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually configuration data is generally not stored in the same place as the application...pre-OS X it was all stored in the "Preferences" folder in the System Folder which made it easy to find. Under OS X it's a little bit more tricky, user specific prefs are stored inside your ~/Library/Preferences, and system wide prefs in /Library/Preferences. Some apps also make their own .appconfig files in various places inside your home directory. Granted this still is pretty easy to figure out and removal of these files is a sinch since you can just drag them to the trash and delete them normalls.

    ogg is pointless...people need to get over it. mp3 works just as well (if not better) and is actually widely supported.

  10. Re:What do... on Real's Reality · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not if you're using a Mac OS X, all you gotta do is delete the folder the player is installed in. This works for the free version anyways...It also (amazingly) works to copy a folder from one computer to another and it still functions.

    I think HFS+ first appeared in either system 7.6 or 8...I'm leaning toward 8 more... Actually you could create UFS partitions with old versions of Drive Setup on older Mac OS versions long before OS X came around.

  20. Re:This is OK on Controversial Manhunt Game Rated 'R' in Ontario · · Score: 1

    Im not sure having videogame ratings being assigned by the film review board is a good precedent....

    Why not? Tons of video games these days really are little more than interactive movies anyways, and Manhunt definately falls into that category. If you turned the game into a movie it would be nothing more than an extremely violent snuff film (I've beaten the game, personally, so I know) which would definately be rated R if released into theatres.

    He claims they can put out a box with the same capability as existing systems such as the PS2 and GameCube....big deal! Those systems are years old now...basically he's saying they're going to start development of a console on par with old technology...it doesn't stand a chance...first of all it should be comparable with the PS3 and Xbox2...second of all they're going to have a hell of a time competing with the amout of available games for other consoles unless they are like M$ and just have money to literally burn.
