  7. Re:Younger Children on Microsoft Is Indoctrinating Children, Shouldn't We? · · Score: 2

    The children today don't have a chance to learn programming as we - the elder ones - had. We had computers with limited graphics resources - so no games like the ones today. And most of all we had BASIC IN ROM ! M$ dropped even QBASIC from their O.S. distributions - you have to pay good money for a programming language in m$ win.

    I started with a speccy 48k clone and with a bad audio tape deck that could not load the game tapes from my friends - so i learned BASIC from the book included with the computer. Today's kids don't have a chance with Win* : they will press the power button, and put the CD in drive. autoload kicks in and they're in the game. What incentive to learn programming do they have ?

    We need ROM BASIC back. Don't buy your children the US version of Sony Playstation 2, get instead the UK one - the one with basic included.

    ... and we won't see them until the E.U. becomes one-big-country like the U.S.

    Think about-it. Why some Sweedish company will provide someone who lives in Italy with a low cost toy as they know upfront that they won't dial to their ISP service in the other part of the Europe.
    Setting up branches in each end every contry given the actual laws is too much trouble (and that's why you don't have RadioShack Europe and cue:cats). And add to all this all the laws in all the eu countries and the fact that the unit must have versions of the software and keyboards for all the languages spoken here.

    You can have the following:
    - Emigrate in U.S.
    - Build your own stuff
    - Get one from ebay
    - Get a plane, spend a weekend in US of A and buy from there. (enter into each radioShack you can find, pose as an american (it's easy, just speak with american accent and pretend you know nothing about the metric system) and get a shitload of cuecats. (If you do so, please send me one too:)

  14. Re:Does it run under KDE? on Nautilus 0.5 PR2 Released · · Score: 2
    From http://www.eazel.com/support/nautilusfaq:
    My machine runs KDE. How do I get Nautilus?

    The Nautilus Desktop Environment currently does not run on KDE. To use Nautilus, you must first install GNOME 1.2 or higher, run GNOME for your desktop, and then install Nautilus.
    This usually means that if someone stupid enough to ask them this they'll say it does no to save them some trouble.
    Or that they indeed don't know how :)

  17. In Eastern Europe (Romania) on MP3s In Foreign Countries · · Score: 2

    There are few or no laws regarding anything that is digital. The Telecomunication act treats data networks as phone networks. Computers, internet and mp3's are NOT covered by any law. You can buy mp3 and DivX:-) cd's at the corner of the street. (and also loads of pirated software) as long as they are not music cd's which must have some glowing sticker - no problemo with the police :)

  20. Those guys are cool... on Do It Yourself Cool Cases · · Score: 2

    But before putting 1337 fans that blow mindlesly air in your case THINK about the airflow:
    rules/hints:
    - What goes in, must go out. If you have three fans blowing air out and one blowing in they won't work at their optimal parameters.
    - A big fan can override a small one - if you put a big powerful fan above/near the PSU and the "in" airflow is too small it will end up sucking air in reverse from the PSU and fscking the PSU fan
    - Think about the airflow - a fan blowing directly into some drive cables doesn't do any good
    - Avoid circular currents (i'm sure they're not named that way but ...) - a fan blowing directly over another fan (side case fan and cpu fan) is a bad ideea. The fans rotate at different speeds and the twisted airflow will cut the efficiency of both. Try a 90 deg angle.
    - Using a 12V - 7V switch is a good ideea for noise-haters.
    - If you pad the interior with foam or simmilar stuff put some grounded conductive (tin foil that touches the case metal with one of the sides) matterial in the areas where the air flow is powerful in order to combat static electricity build-up.
    - blue leds are cool but a single blue led will light half of the room at night. If you hate light sources at night stick with the old red/green ones.
