Copyrights should always expire, thou lawmakers seem to go crazy with life+20 years of the creator.
Then the combo of copyright+dmca, older music thats not being sold, plus electronic media formats, makes it impossible to legally listen in a modern format.
Of course, in 100 years, there will be a large collection of music/movies/books open to the public. Interesting to see what laws are passed to prevent this from happening.
Shift click also makes more sense than using the middle button, which many people don't even have (and Windows doesn't have 'Emulate3Button' mode).
My mouse has 5 buttons, why wouldnt they let me map one button for it? Give me some configuration options, why lock your software down, and driver users to other software?
BTW, Tabs rule, but dont sit on one good invention, while everyone else expends good ideas to great products. (Example, Phoenix)
I have multiple PC's too, using the latest 4.1 mouse drivers from microsoft. They dont work on any of my PCs or My laptop. I also did a google search on opera.* newsgroups, seems to be a common problem.
Ya, I cant swear if mouse wheels work on opera linux version, but I know opera doesnt like M$ intellimouse explorers. But isnt the intellimouse explorer the most popular mouse out?
I'm using the newest drivers too, at http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouse/download_n s.asp
Its not my hardware, its not just me. If it was just me, there wouldnt be posts on opera newsgroups about the same problem.
Also, my MS intellimouse explorer (i have models 2&3) work fine in Phoenix, IE, and every application.
Well, Fileshack and FilePlanet are the same price ($60), and With FilePlanet you get 1 free yearly subscription to Computer Gaming World Magazine, Electronic Gaming Magazine, Play Magazine or Play Magazine. Of course you get pop3 email and webspace with FileShack.
Also the average wait time for a non-subscriber is 15-17 minutes on FilePlanet or 65-75 minutes on fileshack. Also FilePlanet has thier links fromt he Planet websites, PlanetHalflife, PlanetQuake, PlanetUnreal, etc.. so there is a small advantage.
Now if FileShack offered unlimited bandwidth to linux ISOs, and cvs updates, that would be nice, every try to download Mandrake Cooker?
Actually Microsoft was doing a joint venture here in Seattle, where they used power poles, but I cant remember what the name of the product. Microsoft has too many wireless products to remember which one. (-;
I just started to get spam on my work email after 4 years, The only external emails I signed up for are vendors and a couple mailing lists. I suspect "Netop" sold thier email list, that was the last newsletter I opted in. But how do you prove it?
hehe you should have heard the jerks sueing MCDonalds because it made them fat, or "they didn't know coffee was hot", it sounds like that to me.
The lady who spilled coffee on her actually had 3rd degree burns on her legs and private area. The coffee was actually too hot for consumers to drink. The coffee was hot enough to give you 3rd degree burns in 3 seconds.
A mocha at your local starbucks was safer before this lawsuit.
I hope they realize that they are passing legislation which disallows linking to international sites, even if they are kid safe... i guess our kids will only be getting US approved history as usual.
And when has the history books in school been uncensored? You only get uncensored history in college.
I also use Speakeasy, thou on IDSL. I have the sys-admin package, 2 IPs, extra are 2.50. I host a unix box for a personal website, for the unlimited disk space. (photos of the family for grandma, CounterStrike files, etc..)
I use BestWebHost.com for my email domain for the last 4 years, 9.99 a month, thou I bumped upto 12 bux for a 100 megs of disk space. I'm grandfathered in for the unlimited features, They now charge a little for additional emails, space, statistics, bandwidth, etc..
Buydomains (a registar) allows me to redirect URL's for domains I own, also allows me to have email forwarding on domains. Makes it easy for me to just point 1 domain to another.
Like my "fuckverizon.com" domain pointing to "verizoneatspoop.com":)
I remember seeing a quad-486 box running SCO,, the beastie ran an entire dispatch call center for a few hundred operators, without any problems. (well other than the lp needing to be reset after large printjobs...)
At work we have a few hundred sparc-20's (modified 1cpu), supporting thousands of calls at a time, and keep track of each packet for billing.
The CPU's might be slow, really slow compared to 3ghz P4's, but they do the job just as well, just as well the day they came out, all those years ago.
There are alot of Gnutella opensource clients out there. What about divx codecs? Im sure OGG Vorbis would also count, its in many video games now (wc3(divx)/serious sam/unreal2k3/etc)...

So I downloaded the Gun Metal DX9 demo from nvidia, it says unsupported card on my ATI 9700.
Strange, ATI 9700 is the only DX9 card out. Also ATI's Demos and Screen savers will run on any DX9 card. Seems NVIDIA is up to the tricks again.
Bad enough, games come out with "Made to be played on Nvidia" or some other crap.

Well, looks like the GF5 (FX) will be out before DOOM3.

Exactly, that scroll thingy is called "AutoScroll" and that works fine. Its the Scrolling with the wheel that doesnt work.
Don't know what you are talking about. I have an IntelliMouse compatible and it works like a charm, scrolling both horizontally and vertically.
Exactly, seems to be only real MS intellimouse explorer mice. strange.
I have multiple PC's too, using the latest 4.1 mouse drivers from microsoft. They dont work on any of my PCs or My laptop. I also did a google search on opera.* newsgroups, seems to be a common problem.

Exactly! I dont want to use "AutoScroll" i want to use the "Mouse Wheel".
"AutoScroll" simple sucks, id rather use arrow keys or page up/down keys. "Auto Scroll" reminds me of those quicktime VR movies, enough already.
I know shift-middle button works, but how about just middle? Any ideas? Nice browser, but makes you do things a little different to be annoying.
Opera needs MS mouse scroll wheel support, and this is the main reason I wont use it. The response the developers posted, "use autoscroll" on MS mice.
Get with the times, wheel mouse work with Mozilla/Phoenix/IE and Netscape, how about supporting it in Opera?
BTW, I hear it works fine with logitech mice, but all I have is m$ rodents.

Speakeasy rocks.
Even thou the guy is scum, his book is about java, stick to the subject.
You dont read Perl books to find out about Larry Wall and his legal problems.

I think this is a GREAT IDEA.
:)
Lets all post work address books on the *.test newsgroups. Make sure you get those CEO's and VP's too, I bet some nice SPAM laws are passed.
Too bad we cant bounce all those SPAM emails to the *.gov email addresses too.

I'd like to know if the drives show up as 1 or 2 drives. Also can you raid firewire drives? How about booting off firewire? :)

Actually, you need 96megs for Solaris9, and most on ebay have will need more memory.
I have a Sparc 20, couldnt upgrade from Solaris 6, so I put SuSE Linux on it. (with upgraded gcc 3.2 rpms)
I dont seen reference to the 9x00 series of ATI boards supported by DRI project. Do they? I'm using ATI's for the 9700 now.

You take them to the moon and show them the lander, they say it was planted there.
