Do some google searches. I have a playstation2 to USB converter, SuperNes controller, and a gamecube controller usb converter. Not sure about linux support, but all these worked fine with winXP, no driver disk needed.
Nintendo is making a huge wad of cash right now on releasesed old games for the gameboy. I've personally bought a game cube and gameboy to play shining force, and legend of zelda, etc (I bought the gamecube for the adapter that lets you play gameboy games on the gamecube).
Plus, unlike my computer, the gameboy is portable. Although I did try bringing me 22inch monitor to work with me once..
Yea, its funny I have 3 tv's in my house. a 27inch (newest, given free by parents who upgraded their tv to a 50+ dsp) that one is clearn and looks good for a regular old tv (about 300.00 new at best buy) but my other 2 tv's are 19 inch and from when I was a child, both requre converters to watch tv.
That said. I have 3 22inch NEC monitors and a 19inch lcd monitor to go with my computers. I have tv tuner cards in my main computer, and use it to watch almost all tv. The 27inch tv in the living room is only for games and laying with the girlfriend.
I've looked at new TV's but the price barrier isn't worth it to stare at boring shows even if they are much clearer.
Well, I own 2 liter bottles, bleach and tinfoil..but that doesn't mean I'm not going to make a bomb.
If there were no legit uses for the product. Why not sue to get the product off the streets. The fact that the product is sold means I can buy and own the product. That is my legit use. I dont own one, nor do I pirate TV (comcast makes me buy cable if I want broadband as I can't get dsl). But if I go to a store and legally purcahse something, like say a handgun. I should not get sued by a civil rights group because I may shoot somebody or could have shot somebody with that gun.
That is what is happening here. The fact that it is legal to own it is all that should matter.
I've never had any trouble making my pages render perfectly in IE and mozilla. I've had to do a few weird css things on rare occasions, but its not as bad as you think.
The bigger problem isn't IE not supporting standards. Its the extra shit IE supports. People who use the ghetto IE only things make firefox pages look stupid. Where as if you design for firefox, 99% of the time it looks just fine in IE.
Thats true about 99% of the time. Unless the originating website is the site doing the tracking. But seriously, is this a big deal? I personally dont care about them checking how many times I go to their website. Although if I really cared, I would just set my router to filter cookies.
Firefox already ships with xpi installs via webpage turned off. Or at least all the versions I get. I know this because I spent a good 15 minutes trying to install adblock on my friends machine yesterday.
But if I was the big MS, in wake of the antitrust ruling, I would just pull the plug on EU Windows support instead of paying the fine. Say screw it, then drive the bus up their ass! WHAHAHAHAHA!
Besides the fact they would never do that and the fine was hardly a slap on the wrist. If they did do that, what would stop the EU from declaring that windows is in the public domain? I'm sure there are companys in the EU with access to some if not the majority of windows code.
It only takes one civic minded person to read the source and post about the exploit.
1 out of millions possibly billions of people. I'd say you got good odds of 1 person on the planet with the desire to read the source code, and keep it secure.
I recently had to format my gf's mother's machine. Using only what I had on hand. I "upgraded" her emachine from a celeron 800mhz with 64megs of ram shared with the onboard intel video to 128megs of ram and its own video card (pci no agp port). I found it impossible to find the 98 drivers needed so for kicks I did a install of xp.
After turning off all the un-needed features and turning off the fancy gui options so it looked like win2k, everything ran smooth. She couldn't play 3d games, but how often does a 65 year old lady play half-life. It did her pogo and yahoo games, and let her use office. Not only that, but she actually called a week later to tell me I did such a great job because it hasn't crashed yet and doesn't sit with the hourglass on all the time.
I do have to mention one more thing. She is pretty bright. I explained how to update windows, and anti-virus and run defrag. She does all 3 like clockwork. (I told her it was a lot like car maintence). She also uses firefox now and only fires up IE for "broken" pages.
Anyways, i'm getting off topic. My point was windows XP can run just fine on a 800mhz celeron and 128 megs ram. You just need to tweak it, and watch all those taskbar processes that windows programs like to load (aol, creative, etc)
Yea, I set my virus scanner to prompt. Not to delete.
That and I always keep 14 days of mail on the server. It is a really big issue though. I hope they find someway to resolve it.
keyword here is image roll overs. I know how to do lots with css, but the only way I can think of to do a image roll over with css would be using the background property, and I dont think that can be applied to a non-block tag. Changing the color of text is easy. Changing the image to glow or push in, is another matter.
Unless i'm wrong?
I would love too, but its not my choice. I have clients who demand image roll overs for links. I dont do flash (I can't stand it). What other options would you recomend? Same for things like changing the text in a div tag without refreshing the page, or changing the page font without refreshing. I've also been asked to allow sections of the page to be visable or non visable based on user preference. These all require javascript to my knowledge, some could be done with server side scripting, but that would interupt the clients browsing exp with a referesh as some of my clients put it.
I personally found that learning assembly even the little bit that I know (i'm still strugling along with MMX and SSE) Improved my programming skills in other areas. I found myself thinking more about what I was writing and what was actully happening. And I started to document and structure my code better.
My next generation email program will render your email using the unreal engine. You will then be forced to fight your computer for the right to not get virus's.
I think this is the future of desktop applications.
I'll make a bet with you. You buy the hardware, pay for travel, and I'll come out and install a sata drive and install windows on it using a single cd. Say 500.00 + travel costs?
I didn't set it up raid. But all I had to do was the following.
Open case
Remove old IDE hard drive (to be put back in after the process and to make sure my data base safe from me being stupid sometimes)
Insert new SATA drive
Turn on computer, insert Windows XP cd with SP1.
Remeber that you forgot to set bios to boot from cd and reboot and setup bios
Windows detected the drive fine and I formated NTFS.
Thats all there was to me. I did have a weird issue though on my friends pc. I kept his old drive in place and when it booted into windows, his old drive kept the c:\ designation. Which caused problems with some poorly written software he liked. The only solution I found was removing the old drive and reformatting as windows won't let you change the drive letter of the primary drive.
Maybe there was a problem in windows XP that was fixed in SP1?

what about the 90% of people that can just download a fixed exe from gamecopyworld.com?

Use the firesomething ext. Then you can tell their website you are using IE6. Then tell them what you are doing and that it works just fine :-D

I used this to make the cd for the last install I had to do. Kept me from worrying about trying to patch online with all those virus's about. XPCreate
Being xml, couldn't the reader just ignore the parts it isn't designed to use?
I use a trillian rss plugin. I have a nifty aim skin (that chat program we use at wor). Nobody notices the rss feeds inside my trillian :-)

that was just my exp in it.
I'm working on a solution to this.
