Also an option to download all images on the page to a folder with autorenaming, as well as an option to download all images the page links to, also with renaming. This should have fuzzy options allowing you specify depth (in case the links go to seperate html pages which in turn have significant images on them).
This allows you to rapidly build your porn collection by downloading entire galleries into your personal collection (without webcrawling and grabbling the whole site) and yet evades most simple tricks designed to stop you from doing this.
I suppose you could theoretically use it to grab non-porn related galleries too if you go for that sort of thing.
For non porn uses you could specify the filetype you'd like to download. This would have lots of nonporn related uses:
Is there a font gallery you generally like? download the whole collection for offline use!
What about a background wallpaper collection?
How about downloading all the files in an http file repository or even ftp without leaving the browser?
Really there are literally hundreds of cases where this could be useful.
Using kde 3.2 there is a severe memory leak. I have a gig of ram in my machine, normally I'm using less than 256mb and there doesn't even begin to be a need for swapping.
After an hour of working in kde I can close everything out and all my physical memory is in use as well as some swapping going on.
I can't speak for celeron 700, since they are notorious poor processors, especially for multimedia.
But I can say that using a full blown bloated and current gnome desktop on my athlon 1.4ghz, I can simultaneously play 2 dvd's in pretty much any linux dvdplayer without choppiness or skipping (although it's REALLY interesting to listen to both going at once.)
Even at a lower clockspeed you'd be better off replacing your celeron 700 with a p3 500 socket chip. a p3 500 is orders of magnitude faster than a celeron 700.
You actually have to configure the options in the software, just like anything else. Either create a link from your dvdplayer to/dev/dvd or set the option to point at the correct device.
Also you'll want to go to freshrpms and pick up lib's which support encrypted dvd's. Redhat is a primarily us based company and playing encrypted dvd's without paying royalties is illegal in the US due to some pretty fscked up legislation.
Have you tried virtual pool 3 under the new winex (www.transgaming.com).
Witht he new directx 9 support you can play damn near anything.
for $15 you get a 3 month subscription. That allows you a vote in what games/features they work on each month, and any updates/new versions that come out in that time.
Your not too lazy, you just don't even know what a web browser is, let alone that you could have other ones.
If however there was no browser installed on the system to begin with, you would be faced with this choice and make it.
But there is more to it than that, IE uses boatloads of proprietary technology. Proprietary technology is fine in a browser so long as it has nothing to do with redering web pages (popup blockers and so forth). Even if they stopped bundling IE today it would take years for anyone to move to an alternative. MS would claim they "chose" ie, but in truth they used the only browser that works with X proprietary app.
The problem with that theory is that there shouldn't be a shell uri handler in the first place. There shouldn't be ANY trusted URI handlers in the OS, there are other ways to handle that.
And this doesn't only affect mozilla with windows, it affects IE with windows as well.
I can't for the life of me ever understand why someone would want to simulate a useful OS on a useless one. Why not just use the useful OS to begin with?
The wrong bug was linked to the story for starters.
Second this is a bug in the OS, not the browser, the browser does what it is supposed to and passes unknown uri's to the OS shell, which is then supposed to handle them appropriately. In this case it doesn't. The fix from Mozilla is just a workaround so the windows bug can't happen to you from within Mozilla.
Note this only affects windows, not any of the other dozen platforms Moz runs on.
This is a windows hole, not a Mozilla hole. The Mozilla team has just decided to implement a workaround so the windows hole won't hurt you when using their browser. That is also why it only affects Mozilla on windows and why they debated whether to do something about it for so long.
The debate on whether or not to do something about it was because it's the uri handler in the OS which is insecure, not mozilla.
This isn't really a fix for a security problem in Mozilla, it's a workaround for a security problem in windows... which is why this only affects Mozilla on windows.
Actually this is a blotch on MS too, not Mozilla. The browser just passes unknown URI's to the OS and the OS handles them however it handles them. In this case the WINDOWS shell uri handler is insecure, creating what appears to be a bug in mozilla.
In a way it is... in the same way that writing a custom iptables script is like checking the box to enable software firewall on this connection in windows;)
The only real benefit of DDR2 is it's cheaper, but it's new so it's more expensive.
And of course it will remain so until enough people buy at high prices gaining themselves the single benefit that it's cheaper?
This is the marketing department's thinking again right?
Sounds like DDR2 is doomed for failure because the memory manufacturers aren't smart enough to just eat the initial costs on this one and sell it at a cheaper price to begin with.
Then again some may buy just because it has the 2 at the end.
"Not the same as Intel locking the clock speed of a CPU, really, except that in both cases they're doing what they perceive as best for their users, and what is incontestibly best for them in terms of liability."
That's the real question though isn't it? Intel has been caught doing this before for the wrong reasons. You listed above the right reasons to do it, but far far more likely is that the chips are perfectly stable and reliable at full speed and intel is lying to customers in order to get them to buy the same thing they already own a second time with a new label.
When good business isn't synonymous with fscking the consumer.
If they are selling the same product underclocked it means everyone who purchases the faster model is getting robbed, literally.
It also means the one who purchase the lower priced version are getting robbed of performance, intel doesn't own the hardware anymore, they do and they have a right to have it perform at it's utmost capacity.
If intel can sell the product for less and profit then intel should be selling that product for less AND leaving it at full performance. Instead they are profitting by outright lying to consumers and your condoning it.
Even if this article didn't ridiculously overstate and oversimplify the issue. Basically we'd have a world like we do today in programming. Yes some bad comes out of it, but much much more good.
Besides that, it takes quite a bit bigger balls to engineer a virus which will kill people than it does to write a virus to get even with that damn bank who charged you an overdraft fee.
In one case people are inconvienced and annoyed, in the other people die.
They can't, there are dozens of other fields that require a body of knowledge as complex and broad as that of doctors.
But doctors are as a group pompous pricks. They would be in an uproar when they found out there are a number of people who can rattle off the answers in that category faster than they can.
You must be mad. Gif certainly hasn't withered at all!
JPEG and GIF are NOT competing formats! Yes gif is 256 color, if an image is 256 color or less a gif will pretty much ALWAYS be smaller and faster to render than a JPEG.
The other places gifs are used is for animations and transparency. JPEG supports neither of these.
JPEGS on the other hand are good for things which need lots of colors, mainly photos... and not much of anything else.
No friend, comparing jpeg to gif is apples to oranges, where comparing gif to png is apples to apples.
Well then she should at least know that the DAOC trial is NOT on the supported games list. There isn't even a forum for it. The full version of DAOC classic or DAOC gold runs just fine however. I installed it earlier today.
It didn't play for shit on a Geforce 2 but that's no shocker, it doesn't play for shit on a Geforce 2 on windows either. I can't think of any game with higher requirements. I popped in a FX5200 and away I went with a happy not laggy or buggy in the slightest DAOC experience.

I think I'll take the reboots every few years over the 20-30% "minimal" performance loss that comes along with your academic microkernel tyvm.
I'm getting dizzy just thinking about it.

IE doesn't support transparency, gifs DO support transparency.
If there is some other feature of PNG's IE is lacking it's insignificant enough I'm not even aware of it.
What precisely were you referring to?
