I didn't see what the problem was, until it got the part of "compromised accounts", etc. I thought they just lost it, like a hard disk died or they shredded them accidentally. Took me until half the page until I realized they "lost" it to someone else
I wouldn't be running to Firefox any time soon. I got 3b5, and after looking at 2 websites, I have closed all tabs, closed download window and navigated to about:blank.
Firefox: 72MB Opera: 63MB (I have 6 tabs open, and have been using it muchly)
If you were to put a cryptographic key on it which was needed to mount your hard disk, then it might be appropriate. Just presume all those people do that.
I assumed it was because they didn't want the world to login and start downloading all at once and kill their servers... kinda like what happened to the Skype network...
I've tried writing code using OpenSSL's libraries recently, I tell you it's horrible.
First off, their documentation on their site is permanently marked [STILL INCOMPLETE]; this meens the most I can do with their documentation is connect to some host using SSL/TLS, read/write, and close. I can't check any certificates or anything. I check their documentation that was download with the source code, and it's all in some foreign.pod format I had to google for.
So I gave up on that, and I thought looking at their code directly would be a good idea. No, it wasn't.
Check this one out:
static int do_cmd(LHASH *prog, int argc, char *argv[])
{
FUNCTION f,*fp;
int i,ret=1,tp,nl;
where the end label stipulates:
end:
return(ret);
}
Why have ret=0; goto end; at all? They have it on one line to begin with, they could make it one statement with return 0.
And no-where in this badly indented, spaghetti code is their useful comments/documentation (ok, now that I had a good look, I see there is a function or two that has a comment or two).
Fat people and smokers aren't just unhealthy (unhealthier ?) people, they choose to be unhealthy. There is a difference. In turn it's their choice to take more from their insurance companies.
What this is proposing is to have them (forcably) choose to give more to the insurance companies to balance it out for those that choose to be healthier and only use health insurance for unavoidable problems.
This is internet2 we are talking about, not the orig Internet.
As far as I can tell, Internet 2 is for educational high-speed purposes, not "oh noes someone set us up the bomb lets keep talking" purposes, so it isn't built with (that much) redundancy in mind
What I'd like to see is both cameras built into one, with some text-to-speech software. Imagine the mall filled with cameras that yell what they are all seeing? Sounds like an art project... and a lot of gibberish
Entire WinAMP directory (latest v5.33, downloaded today actually) comes to a whopping 5 MB. Running, winamp consumes 8.5MB RAM. Entire VLC directory (latest, v0.8.6a) comes up to 30.5MB. Running, uses 7.4MB RAM.
So, Winamp is much smaller on disk, but uses ~1 meg more RAM. VLC does hoever come with every codec under the sun, but Winamp is still technically smaller, and for a more particular purpose (music/audio, not really video).
</objectivity>
VLC pwns at video. Winamp pwns at music. Winamp sucks at video (I blame being based solely on windows video codecs). VLC sucks at music (from a usability perspective).
Winamp has menus and shortcuts. The shortcuts are very very nice. I used my wireless keyboard in another room to my computer and could turn on/off shuffle (S), skip between songs (Z/B), find specific songs (J, type song title/artist words, enter), etc. You'll hear similar being said about shortcuts in vi, sure, it's not the same as the standard (Ctrl+O, Ctrl+S or Click file, click save, click ok, click... etc) but, after a little time they make more sense then the "standard" (that being said I'm a bit of a tard at vi). VLC is standard. People that used windows 3.1 should be able to use VLC. That being said, that's not particularly super for me. For video, you can't go past VLC. C'mon, just play around with Winamp, I know you want to...
... or probably get plug ins for Winamp if you like bloat and non-standard interfaces
woah calm down there, just because it isn't open source, doesn't meen it's big and nasty.
WinAMP is the sexy, back on an old machine when Windows Media Player couldn't keep up with playing a high bitrate mp3, winamp completly pwned and played it back perfectly, using bugger all resources.
And non-standard interface? You obviously haven't used WinAMP - Z X C V B - Back Play Pause Stop Next. Sure, that might not be the same as... well any other player, but when you see that the graphical buttons are in that same order, you've like, "duh!"
I listened to my first mp3 with it back in grade 7, and (having tried others) I've never changed. Ignore WinAMP 3 though... we don't like to talk about WinAMP 3. Personally I use classic skins too.
I'm 21, and even I can remember the old Amiga's. Was the first machine I ever used... then there was MS-DOS (how the hell was that better?? The Text-To-Speech in Amiga Workbench 1.3 (1985) rivals that of Windows 98 (+10 years later)). I keep the old AmigaDOS booklet in my bookshelf next to Windows 2000 Administration and Linux reference manuals
I loved it, unfortunately my dad (of who's it was) threw it out a long time ago.
Hell, I even put it on my resume that I used one. I'm surprised I got the job, I was just fooling around!
What bugs me the most is Hotmail/GMail etc stopping legit use of VBScripts and Executables.
In the last job I had, 90% of the work that was done was through.vbs scripts. Why can't Hotmail/GMail have a checkbox in the options that says "[ ] I am not a dumbass" so that I can receive any file sent through e-mail? Hell, sometimes I even want to download the latest virus through e-mail to have a look at it under IDA Pro. I also develop programs, and when I try to send one over MSN Messenger, I have to jump through hoops to get it to anyone (usually rename.exe's to.sexe or.rar files to.roar)

Then why don't we just make them the same person/all-powerfull-thing so the people stop killing each-other?
I know I wouldn't mind... then again I am athiest...

I for one call BS on the fixing of memory leaks.
What would be funny is if they coated a tank (or at least the top of it) in the reflective stuff on traffic signs.
The plane would shoot itself down..
No Dr. user24, you do!

I thought I was the only one!
I'm quite surprised how long this joke took to appear; it's the only reason I hit Read More
Sounds like mobile reception would suck ass in there
I'm guessing you don't have that much money.
.. apart from the fact they only open specced the 2D display registers. What would be nice is to open spec the 3D parts and... THE DRIVERS THEMSELVES!
Maybe next month...
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha that's pretty funny.
ah crap, I'm in Australia, it's just a matter of time... maybe they wont notice us
I assumed it was because they didn't want the world to login and start downloading all at once and kill their servers... kinda like what happened to the Skype network...
Awesome, I thought I was the only one that called them that...
So true.

Sounds fair to me.
I thought this was the _point_ of GPL v3. To stop tivo (and others) from making a non-modifiable kernel (among probably some other stuff).
What shits me is that this guy doesn't have enough money for accommodation, but gladly wastes it on cigarettes.

As for emulators, try UAE or WinUAE
