  1. Re:The problem for honest students on Colleges Stepping Up Anti-Cheating Technology · · Score: 1

    I remember when my grade 4 teacher thought I was cheating in math tests because I didn't write down any work for arithmetic questions. It ended up with her writing down questions on the blackboard and me telling her the answers, and eventually she had to concede that I could do them in my head. What's strange is that now I'm pretty terrible at simple mental arithmetic, damn calculators rotting my brain.

  2. Re:Joe Barr on An Old Hacker Slaps Up Slackware · · Score: 1

    Back when i was really new to linux i compiled mplayer on slackware (this was about a year ago) It was extremely easy, as i had read the docs and knew what options to enable and disable. The only problem i ever had with it was choosing the right outputs (was running on an old laptop and everything but one or two were very slow) But hey, i don't care as long as i can watch my anime one it.

  3. Re:how did this happen? on Harry Potter's 'Half Blood Prince' Leaked · · Score: 1

    Wow, i shop at that superstore! When i went there yesterday i saw this sign at the entrance that said "Attention to all customers that bought "Harry Potter and the half-blood prince" at this location on july 7. Could you please come to the customer service desk" or something cose to that. I was wondering what they were talking about. I was guessing pre-orders. U_U i wish i wasn't at camp during that time; I might have been one of the 15 lucky people...

  4. Re:Good for data recovery and such on Puppy Linux Lets You Run From, Save To The Same CD · · Score: 1

    There is a livecd called slax http://www.slax.org/ that has an option at bootup to copy itself to ram and eject the cd, but because its designed to run on a mini cd (180 mb i think) it doesn't need too much ram.

  5. Re:Heinlein came up with this... on Microwires Can Replace The DVD-ROM · · Score: 1

    Couldn't you just divide 43223400240983312345432 by 100000000000000000000000, or am i just missing something here?

  6. Re:We need IE! on Inside Windows XP Reduced Media Edition · · Score: 1

    Windows comes with a command-line ftp client. You could use it to download firefox.

  7. Re:Inocent until prooven guilty? on BayTSP Provides Automatic DMCA Notices · · Score: 1

    There's something called stegfs that's a handy solution to this: http://www.mcdonald.org.uk/StegFS/ Basically, there are a few levels of protection, and no one without the right keys can tell how many. You can give them access to the first level, and all that they would see would be passwords or whatever, shile on another level you could have 100's of pirated movies that they would never be able to access without the additional keys.

    First of all, the mozilla team is working on a better download manager. Multi-session downloading is one of their goals for 1.1 i think. And for your second point, you need this extension: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=1645 13

  10. Re:Personally, I'd prefer to see stability in Fire on How to Build a Better Browser · · Score: 1

    There's an extension for firefox called sessionsver that saves all the sites you were on when it crashes so they load back up when you open firefox again. It is really useful when i want to close firefox to install a new extension or something.
