  1. Re:wow /.'ed already on Ellen Feiss Interview · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh, that's fine, I'll just hit Refresh over and over and over again, that should help.

  2. Re:The Dungeon Master Speaks... on My Compost Bin And I · · Score: 1

    The first post I've ever wanted to mod legit Funny, and no mod points. :(

  3. Re:Where's the source? on Darwin 6.0.2 for x86 Released · · Score: 1

    The irony here is that you are making fun of the first version of a Microsoft email program that does NOT give users access to executable attachments, and does NOT let an outside program use it to send email without approval gained from a popup window.

    This is only the Default behavior by the way - this can be changed easily with a small change in the registry. I had to enable it for a company I did some work for because their custom software uses Outlook to automatically send e-mails in the background. Poor Bastards.

    Well, the CEOs and other higher ups that run this country far worse daily for their dollars, why shouldn't I?

    in my tiny Apartment. Brought the projector home from work and we all sat and chain smoked watching movies just underneath the beam.

  6. Re:Hyperthreading on Windows on Ars Technica on Hyperthreading · · Score: 1

    FYI - there is a relatively little-known tool that ships on the Windows CDs, I *think* it's called mkcompat.exe (for make compatible) that will allow you to "fool" an executable into thinking it is running on another version of Windows. I don't know if it would work for something like DirectX's installer, but it would have been worth a shot.

  7. Re:Hyperthreading on Windows on Ars Technica on Hyperthreading · · Score: 2, Informative

    From the document:
    When examining the processor count provided by the BIOS, Windows .NET Server distinguishes between logical and physical processors, regardless of how they are counted by the BIOS. This provides a powerful advantage over Windows 2000, in that Windows .NET Server only treats physical processors as counting against the license limit. For example, if you launch Windows .NET Standard Server (2-CPU limit) on a two-way system enabled with Hyper-Threading Technology, Windows will use all four logical processors, as shown in Figure 4.
    [DIAGRAM 4]
    This example illustrates the great benefit provided by Windows .NET Server on systems enabled with Hyper-Threading Technology--customers are able to harness the processing power of four logical processors using a 2-CPU license.


    Well that's unsurprisingly lame on Microsoft's part. Basically that document says "we're too lazy to update Windows 2000 to PROPERLY recognize SMT-enabled processors, and will screw you on licensing unless you upgrade to .NET Server"

  8. Re:Only the keyboard? on Mouse Gestures Gain Followers · · Score: 1

    That's where the Intellimouse Explorer comes in handy. Forward and Back buttons on the side, and I can remap the Wheel Button to MAXIMIZE, so I can see bewbs in all their glory.

    Since it's in international waters, would it be ok if we did that?

  10. Re:Some points on Competitors Cry Foul At Windows XP, 2K Service Packs · · Score: 1

    Have you tried to download the Service pack? You most certainly can download that file and Burn it to CD. Same thing for the individual Windows Update files. You can go to the "Corporate" Windows Update site and download each update in a handy dandy installer package: Windows Update Corporate Site

    Off-topic and strictly FYI, I don't believe WWE runs Robot Wars. Mick Foley hosts it, but he no longer works for WWE.

    The Illustrated version of said book is even better for non-math/science people to follow.

  13. Re:OS X is great on Mac OS X Switcher Stories · · Score: 1

    Maybe it plays that nicely on YOUR mac, but it's not quite that nice on mine.

    The GF has a Dual 500 G4 running 10.1.5. (Long sidenote: I *think* it's a "sawtooth", but the early 400-500MHZ DP G4's seem to have slipped through the cracks in a lot of Apple documentation, were they not popular models or something? Mac code name scheme never made a whole lot of sense to me)

    It runs X beautifully, but I need to have her restart Classic after running UT or Photoshop 6 before running another Classic app almost every time.

    That's because he IS biased. If you can't see that reading his reviews you must be blind.

    I mean really, you just jumped from Point A to point G with absolutely no basis for it.

    Wow. I've never learned so much useless information from a /. post before. Thanks!

    You're either full of shit or have some bad hardware in your box. Alternatively, you could just be incompetent or want to join in on the MS bashing with all the others. Either way, BS.

    That is probably the worst idea for this I could possibly imagine. I am now dumber for having read it.

    What the hell speed system are you running on that JavaScript slows anything down? I mean really. I have a PPro 200 with 64MB RAM running Windows 2000/IE6 (and Mozilla, I use them both depending on sites) and have NEVER, EVER seen anything slow down due to JavaScripting.

  20. Re:popups are annoying on iVillage Renounces Pop-up Advertising · · Score: 1

    This is why the ads on Google work. I've clicked them many times because they're targeted well, and they don't detract from your results.

    I tend to avoid clicking anything that moves or flashes, because I KNOW IT'S AN AD. The worst ones are the animated .GIFs where I have to wait 4 seconds for each line of a 4 line phrase to complete. I scroll too fast for that. The Google ones give me good information that could lead to a purchase.
