    9 dollars a month? You're not doing it right.

    Note: I don't work for any of those, but I did get many years of excellent service from both so far.

  2. That's MY damn email address! on College Threatens Students Over Email Addresses · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Seriously, if you're a company/whatever, then the email address to contact me is YOUR damn company/whatever name @mydomain.com

    So if I get a single godamn piece of spam at that address, I know you're the ones responsible for selling/giving that address to the spammers.

    On the other hand, I've heard they try to make their games run fine under WINE.

  4. Re:Uploading progress bars? on An Early Look At What's Coming In PHP V6 · · Score: 1

    Indeed, however it's more realistic to ask for a progress report function in PHP than to ask for a progress upload bar from all the browsers on all the platforms.

    Especially Internet Explorer (unless it already has one, I honestly don't know). And if it does, than shame on Firefox, Opera and Safari for not having such a feature.

    Of course he did. He's posting from the past about how warp drives are impossible only to hide the fact that HE has a time masheen.

  10. Uploading progress bars? on An Early Look At What's Coming In PHP V6 · · Score: 1

    Will PHP6 finally support easy-to-make upload progress bars? Because with PHP5, unless you have total control over the server, it's almost impossible to do.

    And all the "hacks" I've seen so far are Perl script who never seem to be doing their job on the servers I test them on (the files do upload but the progress bar never updates during the actual uploading of the file).

  17. Re:Give me my $4 back then! on The Problem With Cable Is Television · · Score: 1

    If people don't watch those channels, why would they be valuable for advertisers?

    Unless the advertisers are complete morons, which wouldn't surprise me.

  18. Re:If they broke up the channels a la carte on The Problem With Cable Is Television · · Score: 1

    At 1$/channel with no minimum number of channels (and no dumbass "you need to rent our decoder for 20$+ per month" requirement either), I wouldn't mind other shows that much.

    At 1$ per channel per month and an average of 30 days per month, that's under 4 cents a day. Even if you only watch one show per day per channel, that's cheap.

    Do they detect Nintendo DS from both "Nitro" and "Nintendo DS" strings? Opera on DS identifies as "Nitro" and has been available for much longer, while Opera on DSi identifies as "Nintendo DS" but has only been available for a few months (Japan) or even weeks (America, Europe?).

  21. Re: Still using IE6 on IE8 Released As Critical Update For XP · · Score: 1

    Windows 98SE is also able to run Final Fantasy XI. Which is great because 98SE requires less ressources than XP, which means you can run FF XI on older hardware with 98SE than XP.

    Actually IE6 supports PNG24 fine, it's PNG with alpha that is a problem (doesn't matter if it's PNG8+alpha or PNG24+alpha).

  23. Re:Why does everyone always side with the little g on EFF Sues Apple Over BluWiki Legal Threats · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually the newer songs don't have DRM at all. Of course you're right about older songs that are still encrypted with Fairplay.

    The thing is, it's not about the music files anyway. DRM'ed or not, you can move the file around. The problem seems to be the files database itself that's been encrypted.

    Reminds me of the old Tengen vs Nintendo case. If I remember corretly, they lost in the USA but won in Canada.

  25. Depends on the task on "Good Enough" Computers Are the Future · · Score: 1

    In 1995, listening to an MP3 file required most if not all of your CPU power.

    In 2005, listening to an MP3 file required 1% of your CPU power, if even that.

    What is "good enough" depends on the tasks to be done. Opera has proven that good code allows the Nintendo DSi to make a "good enough" browser on a very limited platform (and to those who have tried Opera on the DS/DS Lite - there's a world of difference between Opera DS and Opera DSi).

    In the end, your hardware is only as "good enough" as your software can make it.
