not surprising at all. It was inevitable for Skype to get hit with a virus. However, this virus only work for Windows users.xboxrulz

I find this deal is just going to spread more of M$'s empire and it's not going to help anyone except Microsoft. They are going to lock-in more businesses into Microsoft's software quagmire.xboxrulz

port 80 and 443 are important ports and u wouldn't want to close 'em.Windows sometimes ignore your settings because Microsoft "feels" that they are "critical" updates.xboxrulz

and its only this topic that keeps getting the spam.xboxrulz

Yes, Global Warming is becoming a problem. It is the first time I've seen Toronto above 0 degrees Celsius mark during the winter and with it, no snow. Only rain!This is becoming a global issue and someone has to stop it soon!xboxrulz

Right now I'm running Windows Vista RC1 (yes, it's legit) on VMWare and it works like UNIX, like the folder structure is almost a direct copy. Instead of doing / system, it uses the C:\ D:\ system but everyone still has their own home directory and stuff like that. I seriously think Microsoft finally learn that UNIX is the superior system and they are trying to transition their NT system to work more like the UNIX system. However, it's still quite slow, esp. on VMWare, so I don't know if it's going to be as laggy on native system.

Windows Vista is just a copy of MacOS X. I rather get myself a Mac or stick to Linux.xboxrulz

kardfertew please post in English.@yordan: It's in Russian. I kinda figured it out by looking at the original poster's email address.It says .ru, so it's Russia.EDIT: whoops, sorry Yordan, I accidentally deleted ur post because it doubled. The system registered it as one post.EDIT2: the post was a spammer's post in Russian. Deleted.xboxrulz

It's a good game, but there's only one thing that irritates me, which is the audio support it has for Linux is outdated and crappy.It still uses OSS instead of ALSA.xboxrulz

well, the thing is Microsoft isn't what it used to be during the 90s when they reigned the operating systems market. They're actually falling to other operating systems such as MacOS X, Linux and now FreeBSD.Why? It's because UNIX is technically superior to DOS/NT based Windows and that they all have an opensource base.This is indeed the time where these alternative players can take a large bite in the market.Linux is becoming more "user-friendly" and will continue to be. Many of the "regular user" hardware are supported out of the box. Even gamer's hardware are almost fully supported.All we need are the masses to start shifting over to Linux and/or the opensource movement.FreeBSD is also on its way, but it's still lags behind Linux.xboxrulz

u should try to tone down the MTU to the 360 recommended MTU setting. Even I had an old Linksys, I had the MTU perfectly ok and now I have a Netgear instead, but that's not the point.Just try a lower MTU on your router.xboxrulz

true games are addicting, I can admit it.These are the games that has been on my "playlist" for years.- Freelancer- Starcraft- Generals- Halo/Halo 2xboxrulz

nice, I can't wait until they actually get this chip into the market. If its also possible to make the storage capacity high enough, I hope it also replaces clunky hard drives.xboxrulz

true, some people are crazy enough to actually attempt to mimic a game because it just "feels so real". Some people are just that psychotic.It could be other reasons, but a person should never think that life is a game because it's not! You can't respawn after you're dead. Once you're dead, you're dead!Plus, I moved this topic to the proper location.xboxrulz

Mexican Resorts Sim ... you must earn enough money, then get shot by random Mexicans.or Montreal Massacre, the game ... which would be very creepy and stupid.xboxrulz

lol, true, some of us even think the answer to everything IS 42!Anyways, there's always going to be new discoveries. However, we must also realize we're just a tiny speck in this grand universe.xboxrulz

seems like this topic earned itself a rank high enough to be pinned.PINNED.xboxrulz

He was also interested in the Columbine massacre too by constantly playing a game about that event. In the game, you're the two boys who went on the rampage.xboxrulz

You need to purchase a copy of Windows XP English (yes, Microsoft doesn't have Universal languages installed just to maximize their profits.xboxrulz

this script also works with Linux.xboxrulz

ya, they've been at it as far back as 2002-2003.xboxrulz

it seems like the second drive, partition 3 is dead.xboxrulz

it's using usual 802.11 WIFI connection, so around 10mbps (around USB 1's speed).xboxrulz

Not true, when compared Opera and Mozilla Firefox on Windows XP, Firefox is faster than Opera. However due to the bloated GTK2 toolkit on Linux, Firefox is slower than the QT toolkit that Opera uses on Linux/UNIX. I use a Pentium 4 2.53 GHz 512 MB RAM PC2100 NVIDIA GeForce 6600 for this comparison. xboxrulz

true, just like how Windows XP looks nice but it's filled with potholes.xboxrulz
