nevermind, I got it working , make sure on the compatibility tab, force it to run as Administrator, even if u're already an admin.xboxrulz

Yes, Gizmo phone is a great alternative to Skype. However, I'm still sticking to Skype :)xboxrulz

ya, use a Linux LiveCD to partition your drives. It always works best like that.xboxrulz

I think it's best to reinstall your machine.xboxrulz

I beg to differ. As a beta tester, I haven't ran into major problems. Aside from speed issues, I only had 2 programs that didn't work with Windows Vista.These were:The GIMPHK2BN (Hong Kong Broadband phone service)xboxrulz

I seriously recommend getting VMWare. If not, just have 2 hard drive that u can partition it with.xboxrulz

Yes Chesso, here you go.

Right now I'm going to test it with my games.

First up, my favourite, Battlefield 2142.

 

Should work fine xboxrulz. I'm playing it back after my exams are finished, gametag Alegis.

 

Damn algebra. :

 

Here's the prob Alegis, PunkBuster doesn't support Windows Vista :@

 

and here's a disclaimer: to run Windows Vista without lag, you need 1GB of RAM. Even with Aero disabled you need at least 512 MB RAM to run the core smoothly (then ur apps will lag). I have 1 GB of RAM and my computer is using more than 50% of RAM with only small apps on like Windows Media Player, Firefox, Windows Live Messenger and Skype. It SHOULD NOT go over the 50% mark.

 

EDIT: Although Windows Vista is definitely ready, my computer isn't ready to handle it's memory intensive operating system, I'm degrading it back to current gen.

Well, Apple didn't really release much about 10.5 except that it has Time Machine, Spaces and a full 64-bit architecture support (which I'm excited for). O and XCode 3.0xboxrulz

I have a Pentium 4 (Northwood) 2533 MHz processor with 1GB of RAM, it's slower than both Linux and Windows XP, so I don't know about freaking fast.

 

It's slower, but its still working fine. Not a major problem.

 

Right now I'm going to test it with my games.

ok, RC 2 is definitely and way better than RC 1, it's a lot faster, better compatibility and it's a lot more stable than RC 1.xboxrulz

My teacher tried to do it at school, but it became a complete failure.Our ingredients were:2 Litre diet coke1 regular mentosby the way, I merged the two topics into the original one.xboxrulz

I supported Linux since 4 years ago, love it even now. However, I was forced to go back to Windows because it wasn't feasible for me to keep the dual booting, used up too much space. I had to abandon Linux natively, I might run it on VMWare later.TOPIC MOVED TO APPROPRIATE AREA.xboxrulz

I'm going to pop in RC 2 into my machine later, I forgot to download it off the Microsoft server earlier, so now I'm waiting for the torrent to finish >.<. (It's still legit since I got the legit serial number). Anyways, I have concluded that RC1 is very stable (stable enough that I replaced Windows 2003/XP for it, even Linux) ... slow, but stable. I had only one crash due to a NVIDIA driver faulty in RC1 resulting in a BSoD when I overloaded the system.xboxrulz

Firefox told me that the box came from Secunia even though the box came up.

It could've just been his RAM having some trouble with Windows Vista. I had that problem with my Buffalo RAM, I swapped in some new Kingston RAM and it works better.Another possibility could be his mobo doesn't work well with Vista.lol, yes we have Alegis, we've technically wrote all the good and bad sides to Vista here.xboxrulz

well, 2007 just arrived in Toronto 22 minutes ago.xboxrulz

I think he snuck onto your MSN/WLM and enabled History. You can go back and uncheck it. Another option is to lock down your MSN with MSGPlus!xboxrulz

Apparently, in Toronto, it's illegal to launch fireworks except for days that are allowed.I don't know if New Year is on the list :sxboxrulz

Well, you must remember, your PowerBook is a uniprocessor system. Of course it's underpowered by a dual-core system.xboxrulz

Hey all I have a Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000, but it doesn't work.

This is what PCBSD 1.0 RC 2 said:

uhid1: Microsoft Optical Mouse with Tilt Wheel, rev 2.00/1.20, addr 6, iclass 3/1

Yet my partially working Logitech USB mouse (old) works, PCBSD says:

ums0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, rev 2.00/11.10, addr 6, iclass 3/1ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir

It detects the Microsoft mouse, but it doesn't work.


Please HELP!

EDIT:

I also read this post on the FreeBSD list:

but I don't know how to do that in the installer and here:

4.4.2. I have an unusual bus mouse. How do I set it up?
FreeBSD supports the bus mouse and the InPort bus mouse from such manufacturers as Microsoft, Logitech and ATI. The GENERIC kernel does not include the device driver. To build a custom kernel with the bus mouse driver, add the following line to the kernel config file:

device mse0 at isa? port 0x23c irq5

Bus mice usually come with dedicated interface cards. These cards may allow you to set the port address and the IRQ number other than shown above. Refer to the manual of your mouse and the mse(4) manual page for more information.

I don't know how to do that either on the installer.

Doesn't Windows come with Microsoft Bob?xboxrulz

meh, I loved the movie, it did tell a "life story" and talk about environmentalism and self sacrifice. However, I do see your point about merchandise. I already got the Happy Feet Soundtrack, a Happy Feet wallpaper for my computer and a Happy Feet cellphone chain.xboxrulz

Thanks, for me, 2007 doesn't arrive until 1 day and 10 hours.xboxrulz

yup, he's finally killed, but I could care less.

 

Saddam execution 'will not end the violence in Iraq': Bush

 

U.S. President George W. Bush called the hanging of Saddam Hussein "the kind of justice he denied the victims of his brutal regime," but acknowledged his execution will not stop the daily killings engulfing Iraq.

 

"Bringing Saddam Hussein to justice will not end the violence in Iraq, but it is an important milestone on Iraq's course to becoming a democracy that can govern, sustain, and defend itself," Bush said late Friday in a statement from his Texas ranch.

 

Saddam, who ruled Iraq with an iron grip for almost 25 years, was hanged in Baghdad around 6 a.m. local time Saturday (10 p.m. ET Friday) in Baghdad's Green Zone, according to state-run Iraqiya television.

 

"Criminal Saddam was hanged to death," the report said. The station played patriotic music and showed images of national monuments and other landmarks.

 

The station also quoted Mariam al-Rayes, a legal expert and former member of parliament, saying the execution was filmed and a doctor was present.

Iraq's Deputy Foreign Minister Labeed Abawi told the BBC early Saturday the execution had been carried out.

Arab media showed images of jubilant Iraqis waving flags and dancing in the pre-dawn streets of Baghdad.

 

Also hanged were Saddam's half-brother Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court, according to the reports.

Appeal denied

 

Saddam, who was captured in December 2003 following the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, was convicted in early November of committing crimes against humanity in the slaughter of 148 Shia Muslims in the northern city of Dujail in 1982.

 

During his trial, the 69-year-old Saddam requested he be executed by firing squad "as a military man" and not by hanging, which he said would be a fate befitting "a common criminal."

 

His lawyers filed documents in a U.S. court Friday afternoon asking for an emergency restraining order aimed at stopping the U.S. government from relinquishing custody of Hussein to Iraqi officials.

 

But the appeal was denied late Friday.

 

The attorneys argued that because Saddam also faced a civil lawsuit in Washington, he had rights as a civil defendant that would be violated if he were executed.

 

The Pentagon said U.S. forces in Iraq were on high alert in anticipation of any violence following the execution of Saddam, whose brutal rule of the country spanned 24 years.

Execution comes amid bloody month

 

The execution comes as the U.S. military announced the deaths of three more soldiers in Iraq, raising this month's death toll to 106, which is the highest this year.

 

Those attending the execution included a Muslim cleric, lawmakers, senior officials and relatives of victims of Saddam's rule, an Iraqi government official told the Associated Press.

 

During a meeting Friday with families of people who died during Saddam's rule, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said opposing or delaying Saddam's execution would be an insult to his victims.

 

There was also speculation that the execution would be delayed by the religious holiday of Eid, which starts on Sunday for Sunni Muslims in Iraq. The Iraqi constitution states that people cannot be executed on state-recognized religious holidays.

Grim end

 

The 69-year-old son of peasant farmers began his reign over Iraq in 1979 and soon plunged his country into a devastating eight-year war with neighbouring Iran, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths on both sides.

 

The ruthless and flamboyant Saddam developed his mythology into a cult of personality and used his secret police to crush any opposition through torture and executions. He ordered the use of chemical weapons to crush a rebellion by minority Kurds in the north of the country.

 

He ordered the construction of dozens of lavish palaces around the country and the erection of countless statues and murals glorifying his visage.

 

In August 1990, Saddam and his army invaded Kuwait as a result of a long-standing territorial dispute, proclaiming it Iraq's 19th province. He defied UN orders to retreat from the tiny country, which resulted in the Persian Gulf War with U.S.-led troops launching a relentless air offensive on Baghdad in January 1991.

 

The six-week war proved disastrous for Iraq. UN terms imposed strict conditions on the country, including the destruction of all stockpiles of weapons.

 

His sparring with UN weapons inspectors and three U.S. presidents frustrated the world community for more than a decade until his ouster.

This is definitely the movie to watch this Winter Break! This movie is a really touchy one, there are some very sad and emotional scenes. However, the movie will pick up again and will make you wanna dance, laugh and get thrilled with what Mumble does best, tap-dancing.

 

The adélie amigos made my day with their funny taglines and such.

 

Anyways, I'll rate the movie here with breakdown:

Overall: 33/35 (94%)

CGI: 5/5

Storyline: 5/5

Realism: 4/5

Penguins: 5/5

Characters: 5/5

Dancing: 5/5

Soundtrack: 4/5

 

Shortcomings: Although it's hard to rate the realism of penguins because they toe-tap and dance and sing, but penguin eggs will freeze immediately once the penguin parents drop their egg suddenly. The soundtrack was great, but I think they played too many songs in the movie. Other than that, the movie was great!
