  1. Re:Hmm on Vintage Computer Festival 8.0 · · Score: 1

    So it's pretty much a festival for obsolete computers? I guess I can bring my AMD 2400+-pc, too, then.

    Is Windows Vista out already? :-)

    Just like Nortons Antivirus, but Symantec don't ask your permission or even state this in their EULA. Their slogan should be "All your CPU cycles and RAM are belong to us". :-)

    Many thanks for the tip antdude. I will look into this software also. :-)

    ATI MMC is extremely buggy, but it's all I use because other Windows softwares are either expensive or lacking. I share your pain. :-)

  7. Chinese "entertainment industry"? on China To Develop Its Own DVD Format · · Score: 1

    The purpose is so that they will be able to sell 5 to 10 bootleg movies on a single disc for $2!

    Uhh..... biblically speaking it's closer to 6,000 actually. You were only out by 100%. Not a bad try though, thanks for playing.

    Just a .PDF should be fine right?

  13. Licensing? on Linspire 5.0 Free For Limited Time · · Score: 1

    What is the licensing for this? I tried looking on the site. Once I've downloaded, how many pcs can I install on? Or do I have to get multiple licenses?

  14. Re:First post on Linspire 5.0 Free For Limited Time · · Score: 1

    Hi the back button and refresh each time you get the message. I did that, and it took about 2 mins to get through the entire sequence. Because cookies are used, once you apply the coupon it's in your shopping cart. Once done, create an account and go to My Products.

  15. Re:Is this really a file system? on WinFS Beta 1 Released Early · · Score: 1

    Converting a Fat32 partition with system data on it to NTFS isn't always a great idea, performance-wise. It's usually best to format NTFS from go. I wonder if WinFS is the same? If so, it's probably not worth downloading this add-on for XP unless you can slip-stream it somehow into the XP boot CD.

  16. Re:Why should you not be responsible? on Spyware Maker Indicted on Hacking Charges · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you create a nuclear weapon, you should not sell it to North Korea. If you create a tank, selling it to Iran surely would not increase your merits in the western societies.

    Do you mean kinda like like how Donald Rumsfeld sold WDMs and US-made Helicopters to Saddam?

    It probably wasn't 72,00 people. It was probably 5-6K or less addicted patients. Or even worse, a few hundred drug dealers scamming for "legal" scrips to controlled narcotics.

    It took about that to install XP on an old ass K6-500, so what's your point?

    I think the $50.00 includes a year of their click and run downloads which provides a ton of easy to intall software applications along with upgrades.

    Debian "unstable" is fine. Problems arise when people add unofficial sources to /etc/apt/sources.list
