  1. Re:Repeat after me: QuickTime is NOT a codec! on Star Wars Premier: The Line People · · Score: 1

    That's the problem then, it should have been Matroska with theora and vorbis. Silly people! ;)

  2. Re:new video card on Liquid Metal Cooling in New ATI Video Card · · Score: 1

    iirc the DRM dll has more extensive checks including calls into the kernel. If you're just reading memory at a known location you might be able to get away with not patching the kernel but that isn't automated and probably changes every month (new WMP release).

  3. Re:This is no SFF or Mac Mini alternative... on AdvantageSix Promises a Tiny ARM-based Computer · · Score: 1

    Nope, we don't have French fries. We just have these freedom fries.

  4. Re:new video card on Liquid Metal Cooling in New ATI Video Card · · Score: 1

    Going on what a fellow musik developer has said for that info. Patching a unix kernel is one thing, patching an NT kernel is appearently much more of a challenge.

  5. Re:new video card on Liquid Metal Cooling in New ATI Video Card · · Score: 2, Informative

    The checks for a debugger are in the kernel. Good luck patching that out. :)

  6. Re:Netscape was? on 25 Years After DOS - Lessons for Linux? · · Score: 1

    I'm a Linux user, actually. You can't tell me the theme Firefox uses doesn't look like it's meant for Windows. It doesn't look like any GNOME or KDE theme I've seen. Until around the 0.8 release Linux and Mac users were second-class citizens as far as integration with their OS/DE.

  7. Re:We have TONS of things everybody needs. on 25 Years After DOS - Lessons for Linux? · · Score: 1

    I just thought I'd point out that Firefox was meant to be a Windows browser. It's a great example of the power of the Gecko engine behind it all that it runs on Linux and Mac too.

  8. Re:Childish Spat on Safari vs. KHTML · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They aren't complaining about Apple at all. They're complaining about Apple fanboys who say Apple is helping KHTML and about KDE users who think the KHTML devs are lazy for not merging the patches from Apple right away.

  9. Re:Thanks for the FUD on Apple iTunes Hit With a New Critical Flaw · · Score: 1

    They didn't change anything that breaks PyMusique. We've tested with PyMusique reporting as 4.7 and 4.8, works fine.

  10. Re:Call me crazy, but... on Yahoo Introduces Competitor for iTunes · · Score: 1

    I think that's one level of Microsoft's Plays For Sure spec. The ability to sync from WMP to the player.

  11. Re:We're Just Spoiled ! on Johnny Can So Program · · Score: 1

    Yeah, my math there was a little hazy (too early :) so that's why I was asking. $1.002 spent for every $1.00 is still horrible.

  12. Re:And what would be better? on OpenOffice 2.0 Criticized on Use of Java · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, no one ever seems to complain about BrainFuck. Let's use that!

  13. Re:We're Just Spoiled ! on Johnny Can So Program · · Score: 1

    Just to make sure I understand you: That means for every $1.00 earned on average $1.02 was spent? If so, that's horrible.

  14. Re:What Science Really is... on Kansas Challenges Definition of Science · · Score: 1

    So you're saying if I believe in God and turn to Him all my troubles will go away and I'll feel great? Oh, and have you ever heard of a placebo?

  15. Re:windows already has some on The Open-Source Detector · · Score: 1

    GPL is freedom for code (always open), BSD is freedom for developers (can do what they want). One isn't more free than the other, they just have different goals.

  16. Re:My Tiger notes/annoyances on Detailed Review of Mac OS X Tiger's New Features · · Score: 1

    I wonder if you put the real dir someone else and made ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs a symlink if it would work.

  17. Re: Insightful? on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see them get the chance. It won't happen. If they even get to attempt anything the paperwork will be 'lost'.

  18. Re:Cumupins on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: 1

    Sure, but Apple Computer is moving into the music business (iTunes Music Store) and if they aren't already getting sued they will be soon. It would be the third (iirc) time they've been sued by Apple Records. The first was because the Mac had a speaker and the second was because the Mac could play real music and record from a mic (sosumi was the name of the startup sound on this mac, which people seem to think dvdjon came up with).

  19. Re:Jack of All Trades, Master of None on Longhorn Beta is Disappointing · · Score: 1

    Well, you've got me there. I'm using 145MB right now with GNOME 2.10. However, that's with Firefox and a mono app running, which eat RAM. Not to mention that 2.12's main focus will be getting it to use less RAM.

  20. Re:Okay, DVD Jon... on AACS Specifications Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Jon broke the iTunes DRM, lots of people based their work off his, then he started working on one of the projects.

  21. Re:This is just hype. on PSP Hacks and the Mainstream · · Score: 1

    It can do Javascript but it can't do frames or iframes and I doubt it supports XmlHttpRequest.

  22. Re:Of course its on hold! on CherryOS On Hold · · Score: 1

    Am I supposed to believe that these people are lying to the -devel list about what they're really working on? The only ones that would know PearPC enough to implement sound support have all stated what they're working on. Unless some random person never seen before has been writing a patch without asking for any help with PearPC internals I don't see how this can be true. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though, it'd be nice to have sound so I can get a mac version of my software working.

  23. Re:Of course its on hold! on CherryOS On Hold · · Score: 1

    Not true at all. There was a publically available patch for sound but it was horrible. Some have talked about starting work on it again but not much has happened with PearPC lately, period. It's only started looking like an active project again in the last few weeks.
