    Fuck

    This is the last goddamn time:

    Make sure that hidden files are shown in Windows Explorer, check the settings!

    Windows XP:

    C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Xlive\DLC

    Vista:

    C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive\DLC

    Copy the files to:

    C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data (change the drive letter if necessary)

    You have to use the launcher to select the mod: click on "DATA FILES" and check the box next to Anchorage.esm.

    Copying Apple is what Microsoft does. Most likely a lot of people will find using Windows 7 very easy, especially after using Vista. My only gripe so far is the lack of possibility to use Windows classic start menu and taskbar.

  7. Re:Why 32-bit? on Windows 7 Beta Released To Public After Delay · · Score: 4, Interesting

    32-bit version is for the people with machines that cannot handle Vista. I think
    that Vista was the perfect advertisement for Windows 7 (better than Seinfeld...)
    as a shitload people and companies with XP *will* upgrade to Windows 7. Not OSX
    and not Linux. Sad but that's the future. I hate the fact but Microsoft wins again.

    Facts:
    * After booting Windows 7 takes around 330 megabytes of memory
    * I still haven't disabled UAC (after a week) it is actually quite non-intrusive
    * it is pretty goddamn fast (still a subjective view, but that's what counts)
    * file copying is fast, usually 30 Mb/s
    * haven't crashed once after a week :)

    I have a side-by-side installation of Vista, Win7 and XP on the PC just so I
    can compare them.

  8. Re:Snappier wnidows - or upgraded computers? on First Look At Windows 7 Beta 1 · · Score: 1

    I'm dual-booting Windows 7 and Vista and my subjective view is that Windows 7 is faster. Haven't benchmarked anything though.

  9. Installed it already on First Look At Windows 7 Beta 1 · · Score: 1

    I installed Windows 7 yesterday and it seems that this is the OS
    that Vista should have been. Much more responsive and boots a lot
    faster. Haven't tried copying any large amount of files though...

    I am going to try installing Steam and Crysis tonight and check gaming
    performance (if the games work at all, that is).

  11. Paper ballots on Finnish E-Voting System Loses 2% of Votes · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Writing a number to a piece of paper has worked here in Finland for over hundred
    years now so I really don't see the need for e-voting. Also the e-voting system
    has been implemented by one of the crappiest IT-companies ever, TietoEnator, whose
    main areas of expertise are: missing deadlines, underestimating budgets and designing
    the worst and unusable UIs for the simplest of applications.

  14. Re:So is anyone making a distro around these ideas on How Kernel Hackers Boosted the Speed of Desktop Linux · · Score: 1

    I have two options for you: Mandriva or openSUSE. I have both of them installed and of the two I would prefer openSUSE as it just feels so much better than any other Linux distro. Check the hardware requirements before installing:
    openSUSE Hardware Compatibility List
    Mandriva Hardware Compatibility List

  15. Re:So is anyone making a distro around these ideas on How Kernel Hackers Boosted the Speed of Desktop Linux · · Score: 2, Informative
    You should try one of the distros meant for older computers:

    TinyME (my favorite) which is based on PCLinuxOS which is based on Mandriva
    Vectorlinux based on Slackware

    Mepis based on Debian

    Or just sudo apt-get xubuntu-desktop

    Kinda reminds me of the armpit smelling iBooks. I recently got a iBook G4 which reeked like unwashed male armpit. After googling I found that replacing the keyboard would fix the problem and it did. Apple hasn't officially acknowledged this particular problem.

  20. On a related note: Linux media players? on Canonical Offers Sale of Proprietary Codecs for Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    One my patients would like to start using Ubuntu on her PC but her
    main concern is if there are any media players that offer the same
    capabilities as Windows Media Player 11? As she is handicapped she
    would like to use just one program to handle both music and videos,
    ripping (which is very n00b-friendly in WMP 11) and playlists.

    I personally use Xmms and VLC but she didn't like either one of them.

    She is very adamant that everything should be legal so this move from
    Canonical came at the right time.

    You really should consider using virtual machines for your work (for testing with IE). With Firefox portable versions are easy way to go. Virtual PC by Microsoft is free and very compatible with different Windows versions. If your company has lots of money to spare, consider buying ThinApp (formerly Thinstall) license from Vmware Inc.
