Hell some people don't even care about spyware, they want their dumb little free screensaver or whatever and don't care if it spys on them. You can tell them it's bad and they'll just ignore you.
True. I know at least three persons that like to have smilies in their emails and just reinstall the spywares I removed about a day ago. I explain what the bad and evil spywares do, but hey, it's got smilies.
I don't know about Steam, but I do remember however when I download a cinematics of WoW that it was through BitTorrent. That was a pretty good use of BT by Blizzard guys.
I have the same problem, I can see flickering through 60Hz so everyday I have to set my refresh rate to 75Hz. I see a lot of people here also hear the high pitch of monitors and TVs. I can even hear when my wife turns off the TV when I'm asleep, with the volume down to zero. Someone also said that about LED tails... Well that's some refresh rate too..
When I was a kid (and still nowadays) when I see a new type of light I spin my eyes in circles and then I see the refresh going. Street lights will show as a pulse, just like a TV. In fact, a lot of electronics use pulse refreshing, even VCR clocks!
I don't mean to babble about stuff that I don't know of, but try this experience: take a small electronics device with a LED on it (such as your optical mouse) and move it real quick in front of you, looking directly ahead. You'll see flicker. Do the same with say, a cigarette, and you won't see any flicker at all, because fire doesn't have flicker.
Now, as a bummer, my 19" Samsung CRT gets jumpy at anything other than 60Hz, and I can see the 60Hz one! Gota change for a LCD I think.
I got something similar: My PC is in my laundry room, and through the wall I ran a S-video cable for my Nvidia, some sound cables and the USB pod for my Gyration keyboard & mouse. I switch my TV to Video1 and do my stuff. Sure, it's 640x480, but that's better than nothing, since there's *no* room for a desktop pc in the appartment.
They're called GST and CRTC. I don't know in the USA, but for all telecommunications, be it cell phone, phoneline, cable, dish, CB, smoke signals, except for dial-up internet, we pay 6$ on the bill for the right to use electronic communications.
I was thinking some kind of SETI@Home extension or something... Over here, it's called "outsourcing". In other countries, it's called "business opportunities".
We're in the 21st century here. Shouldn't space exploration/programs (especially very very very old ones) be a global project? Do the math, 4 millions divided to 200+ countries shouldn't be too much, no?
I don't know, buy a used one for 50$, punch two holes in the upper center of the door, arrange a "chute" to feed the dryer, and let the other hole "distribute" the popcorn. The heat should be enough to pop the corn, or if it doesn't, the dryer could be hackable enough to make it heat a little more. I liked the idea someone else posted about re-building a whole jeep in his appartment. I'm also thinking right now of replacing some of his furniture with Lego replicas...
That remembers me when I spreaded one of my baby's diaper with Nutela then showed it to my wife and taking a taste of it.. The look on her face was priceless.
One of my friends is pretty good for those pranks. He's the kind of guy to open his passenger door of the car when you're driving pretty fast, or taping the sink hose's trigger so when you get for some water it sprays directly at you, sniffing flour or powdered sugar making you think it's cocain, renting (kid) movies and dubbing them with p0rn, borrowing your car and coming back with only the radio or a wheelcap in his hands, throwing eggs through a sunroof at a good speed, gearing reverse at a good speed but not clutching in, coloring water the same blue or green as windshield washer in a windshield washer plastic can and drinking it, and lots, lots, lots more. You just can't get bored with that kind of guy.
My Linux box is in my laundry room, setted as headless - no monitor, no keyboard, no mouse. The only need for such is when the network adaptor loses its ip. Then I have to go to the locker and spill my keyboard, monitor and mouse over the ground until I ifup or reboot.
I would also wish to have some device with three wires - display, keyboard and mouse - that would build up some all-in-one device such as a 5" LCD display, a decent keyboard and a trackball mouse to make it all easy and portable. But for now, I'm trying to figure out a way to port video to my TV since there's just a wall between the two. I would buy a wireless keyboard/mouse combo for the input side. It would also rock, since I would be able to surf from my tv. =)
When my box has network connection though, I have many choices: vnc, ssh, ftp, webmin, smb, all from either my job, the internet or even my wireless laptop.
I misread the title of the article. I was wondering if the poster was having some huge nostalgic crisis because he lost some old 286/386 or was stolen.
I also had that theory for the last couple years. I believe the nice story of God and Jesus and the nice fuzzy wuzzy angels is all some nice misbelief because someone somewhere a) figured out to make magic tricks, b) got really lucky or c) was an alien. Add to this LOTS of misinterpretation and mistranslations - and damn, next thing you know, it becomes some fairy tale.
In 2000 years, people will read stupid things like Peter Pan or Cinderella and think of them like saints. WAKE UP people, don't you see that you're just being trated like sheeps? That you've been brainwashed for a big portion of your (or maybe your whole) life? Sure, religion helps you see the good things if life - the glass is half full - or reasons why something happened that way - accidents, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, volcano eruptions, alien abductions, Microsoft, RIAA, plane crashes, bad luck - so hey, now wonder people have faith in those (brain washing) books. They're always right!
Let me guess... You might have two eyes, a mouth, a nose, two ears, ten fingers. Am I right? Now write a book on believing in me.
Selling spray bottles with colored water in them and slaping "Y2K Clean" on them and telling people to spray their washing machines and toasters with it was considered a hoax? Dang.

We got that here in Canada. It's called a radio.

I have a BSOD everytime I boot up (NT4)
I can't download it yet cuz my home connection is down.

I don't know how much of data is on there, but it took my firefox memory usage from 65 megs to 200 megs!

At last, we'll be able to do some demolition derbys into UT2004!
The article says it: It's all under the contestant's hands for 96 hours. If it crashes, he fails. It's his duty to secure it to prevent crashes.

In some cases you might need the second guideline:
If it breaks, shake it a little.

Apple updated their french version of apple.ca to show the new mini.
