Most file utils want you to boot to DOS, Knoppix boots you to Linux, and if you're lucky, you can read, but not write.
It drives me up a freaking wall. I've forced Knoppix to mount an NTFS volume r/w, and made a change to boot.ini once, and I got off lucky.
you do realise knoppix includes a util called captive-ntfs, which allows you to mount ntfs partitions using certian windows files (which it gets from the ntfs partition) for full read/write access? I've used this quite a lot since i found out about it and never had any problems; I'd trust it a whole lot more than I trust the hack-job reverse engineered ntfs write support from the kernel.
a: who said anything about emerge? apt-get was mentioned, which installs binaries.
b: in a company with 10,000 machines, I'd assume a great number of them would be identical (bought in bulk) with identical configurations, so you could build the package once (using emerge's -b flag) and install it on all those pcs (with emerge's -k flag)

my phone does this and its fucking anoying.
"beep beep, im going flat, beep beep, all this beeping isnt helping, beep beep, no way you can stop me, beep beep, beep fucking beep" *turns phone off*
i may as well have no low battery indicator since if it gets low and im not near a powersource with my charger handy, the phone has to be turned off anyway. really fucking stupid design choices, but i guess it's slightly better than going deaf
Of course, if the citizens of a country decide to ignore a law, the law ceases to exist. Governments such as the one in the US exist only because we(US citizens) allow them to. We are not subjects. We can change the course of nations if we choose to.
oh, so i got this all wrong then. the people of the USA Choose to inflict the patriot act and other ludicrous laws on themselves? somehow i think you're deluding yourself about just how much power the US citizens actually have left. land of the free, my ass
if we are going to start counting the different licencing methods for pro, then you missed OEM. corporate IS pro, just as OEM copys are pro. its just a matter of different licencing
Except, AFAIK (and I believe I've tried in the past) Corporate keys don't work on Pro--meaning there IS a difference that needs to be detected and patched accordingly.
there is a 1 char difference in a text file that tells it to accept retail, OEM or VLK (aka "corporate") keys. there is zero difference in the patches between retail and VLK, just as there is zero difference between OEM and retail patches.
i can relate to this. I've had the same UIN for about 7-8 years and in that time ive had maybe 6-7 different home phone numbers. I dont bother learning phone numbers any more, i just keep them all stored in my mobile.
I keep hearing these "no bank sites will work outside of IE" but im yet to hear any specific cases. maybe me and the people I know are just lucky when i comes to choosing banks with decent online services
forgot linebreaks werent automatic.. damn other forums making me lazy

I was interested when GMail was first announced, but if they're going to make me beg for an account, they can shove it.
i was interested too. interested enough to buy an invite from ebay (back before they changed the TOS. now everyones favourite "had to" close down my account. great business plan.
real friendly like. thanks for the advanced notice google. all that mail i have/had stored there is now effectively lost. sure, its on their servers and they can see it, but i cant fuckin access it. sort of goes against the whole "never delete an email again" concept
in the past this was true, but for xbox at least it rarely is the case any more. take a chipped xbox and set it to PAL mode, insert ntsc disc and voila! pal output from an ntsc game. only time things get messy is FMV since its not being rendered on the fly
I live in a flat with 3 other people. each month or so, three of us recieve letters threatening that the tv licence boogy man is gonna coem and check our rooms for tvs. the three of us who get these do not have tvs, the one who doesn't get them has a tv and no licence. with the money they waste sending those letters they could have bought a tv and gave it to me, giving me a reason to buy a damn licence. i love those guys
It's a bit suprising how badly EastEnders does in the US though, considering it's the highest rated show on BBC One.
I think its more suprising how well it does in the UK considering its such a shitty soap. hollyoaks is better, but still not worth the 30 mins of my day it would take to watch it
Luckily, there isn't. Online Zelda? Have you ever PLAYED Zelda? Zelda sure, four swords made Zelda multiplayer seem a little less retarded than the concept would suggest, but all the same, Zelda is not the kind of franchise you can tranfers online.
but.. but.. but.. they could make a zelda MSARORPG (Massively Stupid and Retarded Online RPG) like every other franchise seems to be doing and milk some more cash from the morons who buy into every one of these.
[rant]thank god that the big N haven't and hopefully wont ever do this. everyone places too much value on online multiplayer these days, it doesnt instantly make games better you fools![/rant]

I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. When talking about RAM, Xbox has 32MB, which it puts to good use in it's games.
I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. when correcting someone, make sure your are actually correct first. The xbox has 64MB of ram.

yes, I can see how automatic that is, and how easy it makes sorting the recorded music by artist and album... wait no! your analogy sucks!
give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a night, set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life
People frown on cassettes and analog records, but will happily listen to crappy MP3s
with an mp3 you get quality degradation once; with a cassette it gets worse as time passes.
There's no way they can actually patent sudo...not on my watch.

use illegial monopoly practices to take away choice.
I'll tell you what I choose. I choose to have a consistant look & feel across my desktop, whatever OS I'm using. java does not fit into that choice
You can use this feature to your advantage in many ways. For example if you want rougher surface and extra grip for very wet conditions.
Great! I can't tell you how many times I've been playing my xbox in the bath, shower or rain and wished I could get that extra grip
Cars with automatic transmissions have an interlock that prevents shfting out of park unless the brake pedal is depressed.
I've heard this many times but I know my car does not do this. does this not apply in all countries or is something in my car broken?
