  1. But I still miss Win4Lin 9x on Wine 1.0 — Uncorked After 15 Years · · Score: 1

    Win4Lin 9x - the original one. Very fast, very good, perfect.

    Does anyone know how to make it run on more recent kernels?

  2. DARPA on Why Are the Best and Brightest Not Flooding DARPA? · · Score: 1

  6. Re:Mystified by 'the google" on Google Opens Up (Some) Search Algorithms · · Score: 1

    I tell you what it doesn't take

    FRONTPAGE

    It kills any chances of your site doing well

    Hand-code your site

  7. Re:Mystified by 'the google" on Google Opens Up (Some) Search Algorithms · · Score: 1

    sweat and experience.

    Like for example now I am trying to optimize this website now: Farmhouses in Tuscany

    When i first saw the original - I had to completely rewrite it from scratch - it took me over 3 months of research to come up with better text and structure - and the site is still not 100% finished.

    It is not going to be easy .. it never is.

    Lot's of energy goes into SEO.

    The most important thing to remember is play by the rules - but play very hard.

    1. Content does NOT necessarily have to be interesting.

    But FOCUSED and INFORMATIVE.

    All my websites are borderline boring - but nevertheless focused and informative :)

  9. Dreams are crap on Dreams Actually Virtual Reality Threat Simulation? · · Score: 1

    For a starter - they are buggied and flawed.

    They never retain acurate data or position.
    Do this next time you experience lucid dreams: focus on any text or digit (in your dream) - say a billboard, or a newspaper clip - then look away and then look back again: IT CHANGES!! Always does.

    Also - have you noticed how the mind keeps avoiding to model the hand?
    You picture faces - but never hands - the mind avoid hands. Simply because hands are too complicated for it to recreate in perfect detail.
    Unless of course you happen to be a manicure, or maybe Leonardo Da Vinci.

    I am really upset with how flawed and full of innaccuracies my lucid dreaming and hypnagogic hallucinations have been recently.
    The only thing it can do perfectly is musical compositions, absolute masterpieces.
    But apart from that - I think it's time I upgrade my brain OS.

    duh!

  12. PulseAudio on Fedora 8 A Serious Threat to Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    was a real nightmare.
    I almost gave up installing Fedora 8 in my sister's laptop in the end.
    Once I removed PulseAudio - things began working again.

    Apart from that (and after much sweat) Fedora looked pretty OK.
    But I doubt any casual user would have the same patience.
    Fedora has it's niche - and many competing (even excelling) strengths.

    But it is definitely not for the non-techie and complete newbie to Linux.

    Slackware user here.

  13. Gene found to explain ... on Gene Found to Explain Repeated Mistakes · · Score: 1

    how to blame anything on the genes.

  14. Pleasure Receptors on The Obesity Epidemic — Is Medicine Scientific? · · Score: 1

    I can't become overweight, because I seem not to enjoy food as much as chubbier people do.
    They seem to cum on it.
    Hence I don't blame fat people - if only I could experience their intense orgasm followed by some zen-like nirvana peace every time I gobble down a meal, yeah i would easily become one of the fatsos.

  15. Blade Runner, The Final Cut on Blade Runner, The Final Cut · · Score: 1

    Sounds like an advertisement for a award-winning avant-garde hairstylist

  16. I wish Google vowed on Google Vows to Increase Gmail Limit · · Score: 1

    can't use gmail for business any more.

  17. Challenging but Excellent on Blender Compared To the Major 3D Applications · · Score: 1

    Blender is great.
    Runs on Linux.
    It's free.

    Been doing some stuff I thought impossible before but only with the help of a Brazilian Book.

    I agree.

  22. Worthless Spin on New Web Metric Likely To Hurt Google · · Score: 1
    If I design a site, specially one that offers a service - I don't want customers to stay there for too long; i want them to pick up the phone with their enquiry straight away. (Or they may be distracted by something else)

    We have only a few paragraphs to cause that one positive impression, our a 10 second pitch if you like. That is the optimal for "sales"

    New Web Metric Likely To Hurt Google? One wonders how much time, money and effort have Nielsen & Co have wasted with some media monkeys to force such worthless piece of disinformation to circle around.

  23. Re:Can not figure why Microsoft forbids VM on Virtualization May Break Vista DRM · · Score: 1

    they don't prohibit but just charge much more now - you need a special license to run Windows Vista on a VM.
