    windows supports udf disks already doesnt it? as long as its not a iso/udf hybrid disk, then it just reads the iso side, but it wouldnt be hard to make it default to udf.

  6. not new on Vista DRM Prevents Kernel Tampering · · Score: 1

    this is hardly a new feature, it has been in WindowsXP for a few months now, its to stop kernel patching, which people shouldnt be doing. this is the reason that demon tools stopped working for a few days.

    anyone who NEEDS to kernel patch, is a lazy coder.

    a controlled situation, with no chance of anything unexpected, that has spessific set rules, is used to trail for real life, uncontrolled chaos situation where there are practicaly no rules.

    i was wondering what they were gonna blame terrorism on next, and i was also wondering what they were gonna use to say "video games are bad" next.

  9. code your applications properly on McAfee, Symantec Think Vista Unfair · · Score: 1

    microsoft arnt locking just competitors out, they are locking EVERYONE out, thats what the anti-patch stuff is for, its just alot stricter in vista, its the reason demon tools stopped working a few weeks/months back.
    the reason is, sloppy coding, relying on undocumented, internal-only, kernel "api" that isnt actualy an api.

    instead of them complaining and spending money on full page adds, they should spend money on coding their applications properly, and coding them so they dont eat 99% of your system resources while they are running.

  13. really on Steve Irwin Dead · · Score: 1

    in all honesty, this guy was a genuine hero, he did so much for animals. and he also did so much for the world in general, by entertaining, and by bringing our attention towards how animals can be.

  14. a staw? on NASA Still Wants Space Elevator · · Score: 0

    wouldnt this be like putting 1 end of a straw into a cup, and the other into a vacum chamber, and pumping out the air (to represent space). if anything went wrong, couldnt the space elevator could just suck our atmosphear right out into space?

  16. depends on What is the Ultimate Linux Development Environment? · · Score: 1

    going from being a windows coder to being a linux coder, i found kdevelop to be the easiest to use when switching from msvc.

  17. Re:Still I really dont like it. on Misconceptions About the GPL · · Score: 1

    exactly, when you go GPL, you are still not a FREE software, since you have more YOU MUST and YOU ARE FORBID than anything else, including a EULA for windows.
    so really, your stoping others from actualy wanting to use your code, since they may not want to release certain parts of their source, but linking to a GPL library (mpglib to name one) forces them to release everything, or use a lib they need to pay for.

  18. hmmn on What's On Your Thumbdrive? · · Score: 1

    256mb drive, copied an xp cd to my pc, extracted, used ryanvm pack and the integrator to add sp2 and used bartpe to create a emergency xp install on my drive, so i have an independant xp install to fix anything that may go wrong. added extra tools such as putty, winrar, nlite, imgburn.

  19. Re:really good chess move by Apple... on Apple Settles Creative Lawsuit for $100 Million · · Score: 1
    Creative knew it was about to get reamed by Microsoft's Zune which it's players aren't compatible with. They knew to get out of the market. Instead of legitimising Microsoft's offering, they've tied up with Apple. It might bug us that Apple have legitimised a bogus patent but it's otherwise very, very smart.

    most creative players are "PlayForSure" Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) devices now (and older ones such as the Zen Xtra offer firmware upgrades to p4s) which the Zune is 100% compatable with...

  22. Re:I take it you have a hovercar, then? on Linux's iPod Generation Gap · · Score: 1

    acutaly, X11 runs on hardware accellerated OGL, and if you run ut2k4 on ogl in windows, instead of software based gdi, you get a fair comparason and you will see it runs better on windows.

  23. How To on Linux's iPod Generation Gap · · Score: 1

    as a user of windows as my primary OS, and a user of gentoo as my secondary OS, i have a few was on how to make linux more user friendly:
    1. kill off X, write something new, something that isnt from the stone age
    2. centralise the desktop effort, instead of everyone doing their own little project to improve 1 bit, all work on the same project and work on 1 bit each, making a better product at the end.

    the thing is, X is older than the universe its self, and its had hack after hack to try and make it better as needs and time goes on, but, its just a big hack ontop of a big hack now, something new needs to be done, from the ground up. and it needs to be built as a desktop, not as a gui server. thats what makes the windows desktop what it is, its just there, on that machine, you dont need to be messing around with remote access with X when you have something like VNC or RDP.

    when linux has a fast, responcive and friendly GUI system and desktop, then that is what will make linux a good desktop OS.
