I've used Linux for some years now, and almost every time I try to run a program with WINE, I get surprised at how well it actually works. There are bugs, of course, but I find that WINE is an exceptional piece of software and it works well with a lot of things...
Aww, shut the fuck up! Give the man a break. I'd be glad to read his broken English if he has something interesting to say, and it seems like he does.
Just because he's not a native English speaker doesn't mean that you can't understand what he's trying to say. I'm not a native English speaker myself, but I do my best, and I'm pretty sure he did too.
If you don't like the bitter base, you should definately stay away from pure caffeine.. I, uhh, got my hands on some not long ago, and let me tell you mister, that stuff sure is bitter...
It'll keep you awake though, so coping with the bitter taste is not hard..
I't not my understanding that people use OSS because of fewer errors, but rather because it either suits them better politically or because the OSS software they're using is just better than the rest.
I'm running several Linux distributions on the PCs at home, and it's not because of fewer errors I'm doing it. I like not having to pay for my software, but rather have the option to donate money to the programmers instead.
Heh... At least you have a great sense of humor. I'm sorry if I was a bit harsh, but I spend a year studying in the US a few years ago, and it really pissed me off that people made fun of my accent and mistakes, even though I don't speak it natively.. Not fun.
Fuck off you dumbass. Not everyone here speaks english natively, including me, and I'd guess that the poster you're talking about is from Argentina (looking at his homepage adress). Seriously, cut that crap you fucking grammar nazi. We all know what this guy means.
I ran Win2000 for a few years on an old P90 with 64 megs of RAM. Didn't have the money for newer hardware as the only job I had was as a paperboy. I even successfully installed and ran Windows XP on it for a while (Devils Own), and although it was VERY slow and unuseable, it worked.
With Win2000 it worked alright though, the only thing was that I had a hard time writing in MS Office and listening to MP3s at the same time.
Since when are online shoppers not impulsive? I bought one of these today: http://importpriser.dk/product.asp?product=3...
It's got a 44cc, 1 cylinder, 2 stroke engine and tops at around 60 km/h...
It's gonna be one hell of a fun summer!
Actually I know of a company that is running some door control software on a Win 3.11 box. It has been running without restarts for at least 3 years now. Granted, you can't do much on the box since a lot of Windows processes have died, but that's not what it's there for. And yes, they do have a key for the door IF the box crashes.
Hi I'm trying to track down examples of amusing, insulting, or devious notes inserted into the Microsoft code. I will make it worth anyones while if they e-mail me soon enough with lots of good examples of amusing notes inserted into the code. I'm on antipiracy@microsoft.com Thanks
Source code is pre-compiled code in the form of lines of text, usually with comments. It can be compiled into code that can run but can't be read. The Windows code on users' PCs is all compiled code. http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,114771,p g,1,00.asp
Yup, it would be very cheap. If I had more money I'd buy a bunch and install clusterLinux on them. Then I'd bring the whole thing to Dreamhack Summer in Sweden next summer and just let all the other geeks have a look of it before I wasted them all in distributed computing with my supercomputer.
Read on fuckhead... While it might be an interesting read, it's probably junk...

...Mail Composer, last time I checked. Opera doesn't...
I wonder what that button that says "Mail" on my Opera does then? Oh, guess what bitch, Opera does have a mail composer.
While I'm at it, I wanna make fun of Thunderbird. Not in the regular "I'm-just-pro-Microsoft-and-anti-opensource" way though. I've used Opera for a while, and a few weeks ago I decided to try out Firebird. Good first impressions. Untill I found out you can't configure it to do shit.
You can't even choose to have all windows as tabs without installing a fucking plugin. That's just sad.
I tried to be nice, and I thought Firebird was nice in the beginning. But, oh, was I ever wrong...
Next thing was the mouse gestures thing from Opera. I really love this thing you see, and I found a plugin for Firebird that does just the same. But, oh, what a shame. It's part b0rken. It works, and does it's job pretty good. But when you set it up, it has an annoying bug that means that you can only apply one new gesture at a time. Otherwise it just stalls.
Tabs, ahh, I love those too. The best thing with Opera is that when it crashes, I still have all my tabbed windows. I though I could do the same with Firebird, and it works. Partly. My Firebird sometimes "forgets" to save those tab-files, resulting in about 8 empty tabs. Great.
Stability. Another big issue. I hate when my browser crashes on me. MSIE does it sometimes, Opera does it (possibly more often than MSIE, but it saves my tabs), but Firebird just can't be beaten. It just takes the winning lead and crashes at random all the time.
Okay, honestly. I don't like MSIE, but it's not the only browser out there with flaws.
Please take into consideration that I run windows on my main box. Therefore I haven't tried Firebird for Linux, or for that matter Opera for Linux. But I sure hope it's better than the windows piece of crap.
In my computer I used to have a 3COM 3C595TX, right untill a friend of mine stole it for his server while I was gone to the states for 10 months. I don't even know what year it is, but it's bigger than my gfx card. Not quite as big as those old Soundblaster 16 cards though. Man, they were big. I think I still got one laying around.
My other baby is my mouse. As far as I know, it's from 1995, not sure though. A Logitech Mouseman Sensa. In 1996 (97?) I think they renamed it Logitech Gaming Mouse. Now it's like impossible to get. I'm planning on, when it finally dies, to take the intestines from another mouse and try to get it to work again. For those of you that haven't seen a pic of the mouse, I can tell you that it's just so sweet.
When talking about weird hardware, I must confess that the mousepad I have now, which is also the best I've had ever, is made from a piece of plexi glass. I sanded it a bit on one side to try to get a frosted look, but it didn't really work. I use that Sticky Tack stuff to keep it from moving around. A bonus is that the sticky tack stuff lifts it about 1 mm of my table, so if I have some important papir, I just slide them underneath.
Another cool thing I've got, is a scissor that is stuck to my monitor. Also with sticky tack. I put the cable from my mouse through so it doesn't fall down on the floor. This is definately one of my best ideas ever.
My monitor is a Olivetti DSM 28-171HR (low emission), and even though it's kinda old, it's a pretty good monitor. I think it 15", not sure though. I'd like to get at bigger one, but I don't have the money right now.
My grafics card is a Winfast (?) Geforce256 with 32 megs of RAM. I used to have a Geforce2 MX400, but it died last year when my CPU cooler fell of my CPU and partly fried my motherboard. As a result of that, my BIOS sometimes freezes/locks up, sometimes it only shows a blue line, and as an extra feature, I'm only able to boot from my HD. I can't boot from anything else, or my computer simply crashes.
Now we're at the HD, it's broken too. I just hate IBM for that. It has bad sector all over it. I can't even download Dev-C++ without it landing on a bad sector. Everytime I do a chkdsk, new bad sectors appear.
Well, that should be enough. Bye all, going on a vacation:)

Could somebody explain how running a script requires physical access?

I get your point, but he should have no need to be a sympathetic defendant. Next thing is that people who can't spell will have their rights revoked?
Aww, shut the fuck up! Give the man a break. I'd be glad to read his broken English if he has something interesting to say, and it seems like he does.

So... did that make it any better? You just admitted that you like listening to porn in the gym... Hmm...
Heh... At least you have a great sense of humor.
I'm sorry if I was a bit harsh, but I spend a year studying in the US a few years ago, and it really pissed me off that people made fun of my accent and mistakes, even though I don't speak it natively.. Not fun.

Well, the new thing is that they've actually CREATED the gasoline instead of just running the engines on methane/cows/human shit/whatever.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I hoped to get my post modded "Score:5, Funny" though.

Xboxes were pretty cheap here in Denmark around fall 2002. An Xbox costed 1199 DKR (link is in danish), around 160 USD at the time.
The two chains that were competing about selling both PS2 and Xboxes at the lowest price, Bilka and ElGiganten admitted that they lost around 800 DKR on each PS2 sold (link is in danish). The loss on Xboxes was probably the same...

Argh, crap. Replace Firebird with Thunderbird... Those names are too much alike.
I wonder what that button that says "Mail" on my Opera does then? Oh, guess what bitch, Opera does have a mail composer.
