    You can use any pan that is magnetic.

    To be honest, most of these things are now included in the default WoW UI, but the thing is that you can display it in your way! There are a lot of different bars and unit frames around, and this is the point of LUA in WoW.

  3. Re:It's the all encompassing .com that's the probl on Utube Sues YouTube · · Score: 1

    In fact .ws is the top level domain of Samoa, and .tv of Tuvalu. They just market them the wrong way (or the right way if you want).

  4. Re:Can't we wait? on Windows Media Player 11 Released · · Score: 1

    And here we see what happens when you say what Linux is at the moment. Mod it off-topic or something, but not troll!

    Just some time ago I had to download some .deb-packages, and execute some commands just that the auto updater worked again. And the network manager kept overriding the DNS settings, becuase the most logical way to set them (over YaST2) was the wrong way. Even setting them by hand in the config file didn't work. And don't try to tell me now that a avarage user can follow the guides that are around. As soon as the console is involved they are usually scared and ask for help.

    So no, Linux isn't customer friendly yet, Linux as a long way to go.

  5. Re:From the summary... on How MythTV Detects and Flags Commercials · · Score: 1

    That's true. Watch 24 for example. It should take 1 hour to watch one episode. I assume in the USA it takes one hour, in Switzerland we don't have advertisment breaks in between. After 40 minutes you have watched one episode. Or get the DVD of one Season 24. I promise you in 18 hours (and not 24 hours) you are at the end.

    You can also watch closely at the time display and see that there are four 5 minutes breaks in between (there is always a black screen with the clock on it).

  6. Re:Perfect... on Programming in Lua 2nd Edition · · Score: 1

    But that's exactly the thing LUA in WoW should do. Change your UI, and change things in your chat. You aren't even allowed to do other things than that. And I honestly don't know what else I would do with it. I don't want it to play the game for me.

    You can remove that bar, I'm actually not sure where it is (I'm at work and have to surf with the screwed IE), but you can disable it and then you only have the little icon in the bar that shows you if NoScript is blocking scripts or not.

  9. Re:I wonder how long... on IE7 Released and Available for Download · · Score: 1

    IE7 release is "stuff that matters".

    I don't know how many do professional webdesign/web programming, but a lot have websites. And with the release of IE7 you have to make sure again that it works on IE7. So it matters.

    If you don't like it, then just buy the CD which can be ripped and used in any device.


    There's the problem. You can't rip some CDs without breaking the law (in some places breaking the copyright protection is against the law), and some CDs won't play on any CD-player. So, this isn't a real option today, either.

  19. Re:Just an opinion on AllofMp3.com Breaks Silence · · Score: 1

    Thank you. I hope your post don't get lost because of the moderation system!

    A lot of artists couldn't afford to make a CD themself (there is a lot of money involved for studio, musician, advertisments, the CDs etc.).

    So don't tell me nobody said the artists to sign a contract... If you don't sign a contract, the change that you can live from your music (and I think thats the dream of most of them, the same as you want to live with coding, right?), but that wouldn't work without some money from the labels.

    I hate DRM, I hate the major labels, but you can't record music without money!

  20. Re:Utter nonsense. on FSF, Political Activism or Crossing the Line? · · Score: 1

    Copyright expires, thats true, but record companys have the right on the songs of there artist until 75 years after the artists death... But yes, I'm also one who doesn't hate copyright in all cases, but hates DRM (and that just because I can't play them on every OS or player I want).

    Most people actually like to go outside. Wouldn't it have been faster to go to a shop and buy it rather than waiting for a download?

    Thank you for this post. It seems, noone here sees the positive aspects of steam.

    Remember all this 1337-warez downloader! I think, steam isn't that bad for the publisher, and if the people would read TFM instead of complaining and talk about the steamversion, that was released two years ago, steam wouldn't have a that bad reputation!
