    Oh and it costs under $100.

  3. Re:The most likely reason on Why Do We Have To Restart Routers? · · Score: 0

    A issue with my router was it kept changing dhcp addresses.
    Every 2 days or so it would just reassign a new one for no apparent reason.

    Drove me insane because computers that hadnt been rebooted suddenly had a different IP.
    I got dnsmasq going fairly quickly.

    I'd like to see lightning hit down there.

    Nah thats a bug with Windows.
    Try taking a screenshot of WMP's visualisations as well.

    I have quite a nice VPS with 512mb ram at SliceHost.

    Your prices are a tad high.

    Nope. :)
    Probably because its changing too fast.

    I got some help from the IRC channel though.

    They advertise unlimited, but if they think your using it too much then they disconnect you.

    But arent said senators and members of congress the bad guys?

  10. Re:Perfect? on KDE 4.1 Beta 2 – Two Steps Forward, One Step Back? · · Score: 1

    I dont think its due to deliberate lack of features, I think its more to do with them not being coded yet.

    I've seen some pretty amazing things you can do by editing the config files manually.

    You'll always get companies trying to scam you.

    Try it before thinking that.
    The sky isnt falling.

    KDE 4.0 is excellent for me and you should make up your own mind about if its ready.
    A tad quirky in some places, but very cool and useful.

  13. Re:Perfect? on KDE 4.1 Beta 2 – Two Steps Forward, One Step Back? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I dont see what people are complaining about.

    I've been using KDE 4 for months and while it isnt perfect, the glitches are minor.
    My biggest complaint is the rendering of the date and taskbar is...quirky (for me anyway on 4.0).

    The pros outweigh the cons for me.
    Dolphin is absolutely brilliant and Kwrite's tweaks are fantastic.
    I'd die without Okular as well.

    KDE 3.5 looks so old fashioned now. :)

    Caps are better than in the US where its unlimited unless you download too much.

    Thankyou ACCC for keeping it fair.

    Your ignoring the fact that ActiveX can be executed from any page with only a small security warning which everyone clicks yes on.

    I dont see how negative feedback on eBay is a legal matter. :P

  18. Re:Paypal only on EBay Abandons Plans For PayPal Monopoly · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I do think that the buyer was fair to give you negative feedback.
    He had just won the auction, and you said that you decided that you dont want to sell it after all.
    Posting a auction requires you to accept a legal agreement which outlines that.

    Web developers dont use flash, thats what Web designers do.

    Their heads are up in the clouds and the web developers are left to clean up the mess.

    You can leave Portage out of it.

    Its a very nice niche PM.
    It will never really hit mainstream thus wont do any damage.

    RPM does need to die though.
