    So which one do we vote for - the Republican one who will appoint an FCC leader who wishes to fine broadcasters based on morality or the Democratic one who will apoint one who wishes to turn TV into a cheap nanny?

    Of course nobody has ever said that. I imagine it's more along the lines of, "Nippon wa ichiban desu." [/pedantic_asshead]

  3. Re:BSOD on Microsoft Robots to Watch Kids · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You sir, are trying to install ATI Mobility drivers which are only provided by the computer manufacturer. If you have issues with the video drivers, take it up with Toshiba. I'm surprised they're even providing 2k3 drivers. HP seems to only offer XP drivers, which means we had to scrap a perfectly good laptop for our Windows 2000-only environment back in 2003 during a desert deployment I had in the Air Force.

    By the way, has Toshiba improved at all within the last couple of years? I've seen nothing but shitty laptops from them which don't have the ability to smooth stretch non-native resolutions, are only able to access BIOS setup features through a Windows-only frontend and seem to have no ability to do hardware-accelerated full motion video (which has been part of most PCs' video hardware since 1996).

    Of course, they wouldn't do that, because by killing the internet, they would likely kill themselves, or at least seriously mame themselves as well.

  12. Re:SEPY on Unsung Heroes of Open Source · · Score: 2, Funny

    SEPY is a flash debugger. Why would anyone on /. want to encourage or faclitate the creation of flash content?

    Sure. Flash is only used to annoy the fuck out of you - and the exclusive purpose of VCRs is to flagrantly infringe on media producers' precious IP. Hypocrites.

    Get off you VT100 and come join us in this century.

    Check out the video. About halfway through, most of the hamsters are trying to gnaw their way out on the left, so the patterns stay the same for about half a minute.

    Remember when the lead programmer for Winamp (the original one) was having trouble finding work? When a programmer of a very popular project has this problem, that is quite scary and I'm sure there weren't any issues with job qualification.

    XP Pro can connect to domains while XP Home can't. I believe that's it. Can't believe that guy had a CS degree - I doubt I have the capacity or drive to get one and the difference to me was crystal clear.

    Most streams also have a metafile which contains the real location of the stream. The idea is that you view the text of the metafile, take the URL from that and use it as the command argument in MPlayer.

  25. Re:The Remixes, Too on The 'Dear Friends' Final Fantasy Concert First Hand · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that it's a real pain for anybody who wants to hear anything but Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger music. Each game on the site has anywhere from 1-3 remixes, except for the two series of games mentioned above, which have around 20-30.

    I have nothing against the music, I just have a hard time appreciating it when, in the game, there was never a smooth transition between the walking-around music and the fighting music. Not to mention, this and many other console RPGs, it was almost always the same fighting song over and over and over.

    Odds are 9 in 10 that Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, or Xenogears music will be playing on their streaming radio server
