  1. Re:SATA Drives are cheap on New Motherboards Disallowing IDE Booting? · · Score: 1

    Starforce will not allow you to load your games from emulated CD images if you have any IDE drives on your system, by using SATA, you can load backups of your games.

    Right, i've got it now.

    When using MTR, you can select Arccos extraction mode, and that does the trick!

    Since you're a mac user, have you tried using mactheripper?

    If it works, let me know, I'm planning on buying casion royale to rip with MTR.

    only people who have actually used Vista comment. These articles about operating systems are already boring enough without the same boring comments. At the very least I would like a few +5 funny comments. Well that was a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    I can make you even more jealous, since i'm a licence fee payer and it's a BBC show the tickets for the filming/recording of any BBC TV/Radio show are free of charge, you just ask for them. :D

    They open a halal McDonalds in Saudi Arabia, the Would Be Suicide Bombers love the cheap tasty food so much they decide they like America and won't attack it?

  15. Re:Didn't we have an article... on Vista Not Playing Nice With FPS Games · · Score: 1

    It depends on your method of x server acceleration.

    XGL makes all calls from the window manager go through it, meaning other apps can't get 3D acceleration

    AIGLX only gives 3D acceleration to those parts of the window manager that need it. That's the Indirect part.

    I'm sure someone will pop along and explain it better than me soon.

  16. Re:New Computers get Vista on Vista Not Playing Nice With FPS Games · · Score: 2, Informative

    You misunderstand, he is not talking about cheap computer components, he is talking about OEM Windows licences. OEM licences are more restrictive, they can only be installed on a single motherboard for example.

    Heck everyone loves cheap OEM parts!

  17. Re:Beagle allready does this! on Spotlight Improvements In Leopard · · Score: 1

    As i said, i'm using kubuntu, but I last tried installing it on 6.04. The interface was horrible because it had zero integration with KDE. Don't take that deskbar app for granted.

  18. Re:Beagle allready does this! on Spotlight Improvements In Leopard · · Score: 1

    Beagle is fucking difficult to set up.

    No really it is.

    I've been using Linux for some time now, and I tried to get beagle working. Don't get me wrong, I did, but damn it was tough. If you tell a new linux user, "Oh sorry, your new mono libraries are incompatible at the moment, you'll just have to wait for beagle to catch up" They wouldn't put up with it. Also, telling them to activate extended attributes, they aren't going to know how.

    You can't fault apple. Nice friendly magnifying glass, no set up. I hope that in the future my kubuntu release will just have beagle installed by default and working nicely.

  19. Re:60G of flash? on All Flash iPod Line-up on the Horizon? · · Score: 1

    It really isn't a pain in the arse. I use amarok with my iPod, and I have no trouble at all. It's never gonna play ogg, unless you flash it with rockbox, so stop wishing. Clearly iPods aren't for you, try a player that meets your needs, or buy an iPod and give up.

    Despite their commitment to mac and linux compatibility on their audio streaming, the iPlayer only runs on windows, disappointing as I'm sure even us mac users pay our licence fees.

  23. In my Opinion on Why Software Sucks, And Can Something Be Done About It? · · Score: 1

    Users expect far too much. Yes I admit there is a lot of software out there that is confusing and difficult to use. However one does not expect to sit down in a car and expect to be able to drive it without learning or being shown how to do so first. Similarly with kitchen devices such as ovens, even frying pans. You cannot expect to be able to use something easily without taking the time to learn to do so.
