  1. There isn't one on What's The Best Combo DVD/VCD/CD/MP3 Player? · · Score: 1

    Trust me, i've looked around a ton. If you're willing to drop mp3s, then the pioneer dv333 is great. It'll do dvds, cds, cdr, cdrw, vcd, it does all of them well. Composite video output, s-video, 96khz optical and coaxial digital audio out, And you can probably find it for just a little over $200. It really is good, and there really aren't any good combo players that do mp3s, maybe in a few months or a year. But the apex ones are gimmicky crap.

  2. Here's a reason why software sucks on Why Software Still Sucks · · Score: 1

    The requirements for a project don't necessarily stay the same throughout the course of a project. You could be halfway done and all of a sudden be told that you need to add new features or support whatever random thing a client just thought up. Despite the fact that this doesn't fit in at all with the rest of the design. And so the new features or whatever get crammed in.

  3. Re:bandwidth on The Fight For End-To-End: Part One · · Score: 1

    I disagree, you could definitely have more bandwidth than you could use. Sure it might take tons more bandwidth than anyone has right now. But there is definitely a limit to how much i could use at once. How many video feeds, mp3 streams, etc... could you watch/listen to all at once?

  4. Re:One question... on Alpha-Blending On KDE · · Score: 1

    wow, that's crazy i've got an old p200 myself, but with only 96 megs of ram, but I use Mandrake and KDE runs great on it.

  5. Re:Money milking, on Dune: House Harkonnen · · Score: 1

    Yeah, bascically the first three books are the core, and are what's really good. God Emperor is still good, but starts getting a little bit crazy. After that all bets are off, and everything just gets entirely too crazy

  6. Re:PerlPERL on A Bunch Of Perl Bits · · Score: 1

    no no, PerlPERL was implemented long ago. There is a perl interpreter written in Perl on CPAN called PerlInterp.

  7. Re:A Total Zealot's Guide to >>Desktop Environment on Gnome Begins The 1.2 Freeze · · Score: 1

    actually Enlightenment is working towards becoming a desktop shell. not another desktop environment. I believe that the enlightenment website explains this in more depth

  8. Re:Lets hope it doesn't follow the trend... on Enlightenment 0.16.0 Release · · Score: 1

    That is very strange... Enlightenment runs very quickly on my measly 120 Mhz. Not choppy in the slightest bit. Also due to Enlightenment's design all of the eyecandy features don't slow the program down any if they are disabled. If you do turn on all the crazy features and use a theme with a big footprint it could be a bit slow though. I recommend that you give E another shot. It has definitely been getting progressively better and better. Just when i think i can't think of any thing that would make it better, they add some cool new feature that i quickly can't live without.
