  1. 1354 isn't a record... it was 9200! on The Average PC is Infested with Spyware · · Score: 1

    According to this thread and thread, 9,200 objects was the record. Now, I don't know if that is possible to get that many. At least the screen shot with 2,022 items looks legit.

  2. I use shuffle too with Winamp and XMMS... on The Joy of Random Shuffle · · Score: 1

    I always use shuffle mode with my playlists. I just like to let the player pick a song for me. The only time I don't use shuffle mode is when I am listening to new tunes.

  3. Not going to happen for me! on National TV Turn Off Week · · Score: 1

    I have 24 (episode 18 this Sunday night because of Bush's speech last Tuesday night -- see http://www.fox.com/24/), Alias, The Simpsons, Smallville, and Star Trek: Enterprise. :(

  4. Trillian? on Spyware More Common in Popular Software? · · Score: 1

    Does Trillian support it as a plug-in?

  5. NASA discovered peeps on Mars... on Mars Rovers Still Going Strong, Mission Extended · · Score: 1

    Did you know Mars has peeps? ;)

  6. Re:WTC trailer here... on Spiderman 2 Trailer · · Score: 1

    JediTrainer: Probably. Someone else pointed that out earlier this morning as well. I am surprise the Web site (not mine) is handling the demand well.

  8. WTC trailer here... on Spiderman 2 Trailer · · Score: 4, Informative

    You can still download it from here. I personally thought it was an awesome teaser. Too bad 9/11 had to happen. :(

  9. Re:Any free AV programs? on Mac OS X Trojan Horse Infects MP3s · · Score: 1

    HeghmoH: I am pretty careful as well, but I would like to be sure that I didn't overlook something. Spywares are the common ones that are harder to track because I download various softwares to check out.

  10. Any free AV programs? on Mac OS X Trojan Horse Infects MP3s · · Score: 1

    Are there any free AV programs (opensource would be nice) for MacOS X? I haven't had an AV installed on my PowerBook G4 (over a year) and never had infections. Maybe it is time for me to get an AV. I don't need an AV that runs in the background. I just want to scan and fix. Of course, update often.

    Thank you in advance.

  11. Re:ModPlug is indeed better. on WinAmp Security Hole Discovered, Patched · · Score: 1

    Do I know you, Reziac?

    I don't think ModPlug is open sourced.

  12. Is there a video clip of the conduction? on Humanoid Robot Conducts Beethoven Symphony · · Score: 0, Troll

    I would love to see the bot conducting an entire orchestra at the Tokyo Philharmonic Society. Here is a photograph.

  13. ModPlug is indeed better. on WinAmp Security Hole Discovered, Patched · · Score: 1

    I agree that ModPlug should be used. I use its player for MOD, S3M, XM, 669, etc. weekly. In fact, I am using it right now to listen to a MOD song. It is a great Windows player for headphones and nice speaker setup!

  14. Re:Wow on WinAmp Security Hole Discovered, Patched · · Score: 1

    From what I read, the sound engine is still pretty much the same in 2.x, 3.x., and 5.x. This is excluding the sound plugins for enhancements. I still use v2.91 since it still works well and I don't see anything in 5.x that I need.

  15. Re:Just wait on Nvidia Drivers Enforce Macrovision's Rules · · Score: 1

    DVDIdle isn't free though. Same TVTools AFAIK. Is there a freeware alternative?

  16. Re:Never had a problem like this... on Nvidia Drivers Enforce Macrovision's Rules · · Score: 1

    TVTool isn't free, is it? Are there any free tools that is free to allow to view DVDs on TV?

  17. Re:Then I guess... on Nvidia Drivers Enforce Macrovision's Rules · · Score: 1

    True, but what if you need the updated drivers for games?

  18. Re:This has been here for a while on Nvidia Drivers Enforce Macrovision's Rules · · Score: 1

    Yep, need to upgrade drivers for games mainly. :(

  19. Night? on Google's Early Hardware · · Score: 1

    You call 7:22 AM a night? :)

  20. Where are these hardwares today? on Google's Early Hardware · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Are they in a museum or Google's vault? ;)

  21. Any good chatbots for IRC? on Chatterbox Challenge Contest Underway · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am currently using SeeBorg and I name him Homer (J. Simpsons). Most of the times he say stupid nonsense stuff, and he does learn to read IRC conversations. He records every IRC lines into a file, LINES.TXT, where he will randomly use phrases to say something. He will blurt out something one out of ten chances after someone else says something. If you call his name, then he will mostly reply back.

    I used to use Alice, but the IRC script was very buggy and tended to hog CPU so I dropped her. :)

  22. X-Wings, TIE Fighters, etc. on History Of Video Game Music Explored · · Score: 1

    I always liked these Star Wars games for dynamic music (songs change as you play). Even MIDI was dynamic back then.

  23. Re:I tried this, but it didn't work for me. on Solutions for Avoiding Traffic? · · Score: 1

    jvalenzu: The problem is my hours. I have to be there between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

  24. I tried this, but it didn't work for me. on Solutions for Avoiding Traffic? · · Score: 1

    I usually work from 10 AM to 7 PM in Santa Monica where I work. I travel about 35 miles (one way) through 10 and 60 FWYs (carpooling with someone). It doesn't seem to matter what time we leave (8 AM /9 AM) and (6 PM/7 PM) on week days. Even at 10:30 AM/7:30 PM, the traffic is still slow. The best hours seem to be like 11 AM and 8 PM or later.

    However, I have to be in the office by 11:00 AM sharp and meetings usually start at that hour. Also, I wouldn't have any time to prepare my workday (e.g., read e-mails, use restrooms, etc.). :(

    Los Angeles traffic really sucks! Our commutes are usually over an hour to two hours (one way)! Without traffic (really rare like on a holiday), 40 minutes!

  25. weather.com for my location. on What's Your Browser Start Page? · · Score: 1

    At work, I use the city I am working in. At home, I use the city I am at. I like viewing the weather information. My father uses news.google.com. :)
