There are many compilers out there for many languages. Other then VC++ I cant think of any language that dosn't have a free compiler out there for Windows.
I have searched pages of Google, pages of Sourceforge, and pages of Freshmeat for a free open source FORTRAN compilier. (i know this is a little OT) But do you have any idea where i could get one?
what if you removed the address bar from Windows explorer?
this would force your user to crank open firefox from the desktop/start menu/run menu.
just a thought.
As much as microsoft rubs me the wrong way... you're being a little overzealous.
The only reason i'm still on Hotmail is for a lack of alternative. Yahoo, in my mind, is just as bad, and therefor not worth a change of addy. I'd rather not have an email with the word Spy (spymac) in the domain name, and no ones been kind enough to shoot me a gmail invite as of yet.
My homail account receives about 1-2 spam messages a week. I have my filters set to the lowest possible settings, but even still Hotmail bounces someof my legit mail.
don't get me wrong, Hotmail does smell bad, but until I can get something better, I'm mired in it.
(i'm also probably a minority amongst users you describe)

Gmail isn't a POP3 killer. Its a Hotmail/Yahoo killer.
if your going to do something extravagant, swipe the entire center fold.
i would say that a crossword of normal x,y dimensions would work (though this depends on space and what your norm is... just play with it) the z would be maybe 5 deep (again, playing with this can help.
now. you have the centerfold. start in the bottom left corner place you x,y matrix for z1 (if it were a cube this would be the front side) now, move up and to your right, place your x,y matrix for z2. continure until finished.
you should have a diagonal line of boxes, this leaves the other two corners for hints.
now, on a numbering scheme. lets say for example on the z1 x,y matrix you have a 1 down and a one across AND a one 'spanning' (for lack of a better word). On z2, you also have a one down, a one across, and the previous one spanning.
now, to number these a few ways come to mind. one would be to color code each Z matrix and match the clues to them. another would be to just number the squares normaly for z1 and then normaly on z2, except starting on the ending number for z3.
coming up with the words themselves would blow my mind.
explaining it shouldn't be that hard, and in the space on the corners you could do it.
I would assume that the smaller your dimensions the less mind blowing.
if you do get this working you'll have to hook me up with a link.
there are drivers out for using an Xbox controller in a USB port. you just need to fix the dongle at the end to male USB instead of xbox's proprietary connector.
the problem with this it that its wired. I've seen a mod (can't remember where) that is male USB to XBOX female. this could work for a wireless Xbox controller...
But, all this would be far far more easy using one of the above remote controll set ups.
this guy looks like he wants to puchase something, so I assume the less mod work he's doing the better.
All of you are proclaiming that this isn't leading the green movement. Well lets just take a scanario out into time and see what you think then.
Now. we have Oil. America makes gas using cars, and gas using moped. China makes electric bikes. that run off of coal power plants.
years into the future.
We no longer have Oil. millions of useless chunks of metal, formerly known as SUV's appear in junk yards in America. We have a transportation crisis because gas prices are insanely high.
China, running on its electric bikes, and possibly vehicles, loses its coal power plants. However these are replaced by hydro- and solar-electric ones.
So, ultimately having electric vehicles [bikes cars] eases the passage into utilizing sources of power that are green.
Your first reason: The first is that you have no choice regarding whether or not you want to use the windows GUI with IE if you want to use windows.
Valid. If Mozilla = Windows. However it doesn't, and Choice remains. Don't want to use Mozilla's integrated Desktop/browser? Great! we have just the thing for you: KDE.
Your second Point: The second reason, which is relevant here, is that there's really no good reason why _any_ web browser should be integrated with the desktop environment. Completely apart from the lack of choice aspect, it's simply bad software design.
Well... ok.. there is no good reason why a web browser should be integrated with a desktop, its bad software design. Forgive me, but I don't see why. I say there is really no reason that the browser _shouldn't_ be integrated. Bad software design? how so? I feel its merely a different approach to a problem. Just because it may be associated with M*soft doesn't make it a bad idea...
KDE doesn't impress me much stylisticly, while XP, I feel is much better. (i think OSX beats both). If Mozilla can bring more style to linux this way, i say have at it.
All the more fun if i can control it with simple XML.
Most Mailing lists begin with a standard Flag. So, you just whitelist all incoming mail with that tag. Accept all incoming mail containing in the subject [mymailinglist].
I'm not sure if gmail has this, but hotmail does so i think its highly likely.
A little off topic,
But as i was looking at their site, i found a "3d web plugin" which apparently has versions for IE explorer and netscape.
Why ever isn't there a pheonix/firebird/firefox plugin?
does anyone know of one?
I beleive this is the reason for having the overlapping metal plates or "scales." these would minimize the parts that would be required to move, and thus minimizing a failure.
Now, if the wing could be constructed for less that it would cost to repair... Then instead of repairing we'd just replace.
Probably for a passenger plan repairing would be a better idea, but for an unmanned spyplane?
no need for self repairing abilities... unless of course your making real transformers.
Doesn't streaming video from your capture board to you screen use some CPU power? not comprable to playing the game of course.
i like that idea, but since i have a television so close to my machines i haven't bothered.
Whilst the hardware is no different that the original N-Gage,
and
so we're gonna take a stab in the dark here and guess that Nokia have upped the specs on N-Gage 2!
So.. uhhh... they didn't change the hardware, yet they upped the specs...
so either they overclocked an original NGage, or there is bad reporting going on and they really did upgrade the hardware.
can someone make sense of this?
get some webspace, and throw a nice little PHP uploader on it [pretty easy to make].
now you have an always on repository for your character sheets/maps/sketches/ whatever
adding a simple user namewould allow you [with a little more effort on the PHP] to upload to seperate folders for each person or separate folders for different types of things, or whatever.
as for communicating, there are tons of programs that'll do this and almost all allow whispering between people.
as for the rolling of the dice, i'm not quite sure how you'd do this to give you both the randomness [no cheating] and the privacy.
but the webspace is extremely useful when colaborating with other people online, and its also fairly cheap.
People like buying things modularly because it seems cheaper and also you can get the best of each modular component
this is of course why we have prefab computers [dell Macintosh ect.]?
be careful when you apply your veiw to everyone.
You could of course boot from a floppy/CD [wherein you have USB drivers, and some sort of program like Norton Ghost on it]
Now you just load the images from the USB key. you get the image files, at least with ghost, by the same method only saving the file.
I have used this at work to store the images of different workstations, (windows 98, NT, 2000, XP) which in case of a hard drive going bad, which happens far too often with Dell provided W*stern Digital drives, I can just replace the drive, hook up my USB and disk and go.
Now to boot multiple Operating systems from a USB key could be done the same way, by using a Floppy which installs your drivers, after this you'd have to write something to refer to a menu to choose your operating system.
Its just a thought on getting to your USB, after that I have no idea how you could get seperate OS's to boot, though i'm sure someone out there does.
While you can craete multiple accounts, you only have one CD-key. Blizzard doesn't ban accounts, they ban this Key, effectivly making the cd single player/LAN only.

makes me want to install a 5.25" drive in my machine...
i remember playing those games in 2nd/3rd grade on ancient macintoshes...
ahh.
that my friends is the smell of the good old days.
i would pay a few fingers for a good emulator and some roms. Anyone know of any?
In order to do this you need to have users who actually USE yahoo... ...
Anyone?
i guess not.

I agree. Anything done with the intentions of bettering open source cannot hurt it. [if it doesn't work, no one uses it].

Not only for every game, for every time you play every game. unless it of course somehow saves this on you HDD, but then, that defeats the reason.

I've found that the roll up keyboards they sell, are extremely quiet, due to the fact that instead of the hard plastic they're soft.
Walling off the room with dreassers, or similar is a good idea as well.
You could of course boot from a floppy/CD [wherein you have USB drivers, and some sort of program like Norton Ghost on it]
