Seems a bit silly, I have it and have tried it but I just can't take it seriously. No real view on it, it's had exclusives but youtube is youtube.

Wired Or Wireless Heaphones? Which one do you prefer?
toby replied to BCD's topic in Hardware Workshop
I got some wireless headphones a few years ago and they were pretty bulky, at least evenly weighted. I'd rather earphones and carry something in my pocket. -
The North Korea Situation. What should be done?
toby replied to dangerdan's topic in Science and Technology
Sanctions won't work with this country, they are used to being fairly shut off. China hasn't bothered with much of the sanctions, which means a lot.A lot of the rewards for deals are so big that they accept them, then break the agreement a few years later, then repeat. -

Have you tried HD? -
Gnome was first, being default. It's okay, the basic pre-installed options were good. I was happy with several combinations I could make in GUI in ten minutes. KDE was a lot worse, again only GUI in ten minutes, nothing good. I then tried Compiz on both and it made Gnome better, KDE worse. I ended up with XFCE + Compiz, which is dumb but pretty.Now unmodified Aqua (OSX) ftw. Never seen anything better.

Gmail: Simply The Best Comparations make it clear
toby replied to herenvardo's topic in General Discussion
Google voice isn't out yet.Hotmail is pretty crappy, but I still use it the most. I spend most of my time clearing out spam. I found it hard to use the +bla stuff of my gmail address. -
Chess is a logical game where man can only think ahead so many moves of so many options. Deep Blue took longer than Kasperov, because it thought through every possible move for something like 60-130 moves ahead.I saw Click earlier, it had some pretty clever stuff. VERY little does anything more than one job, and then it's poorly. Toyota's robot is about the all-round best, if you marked all robots on 20+ things out of 100 it'd win.

How To Record Gameplay Video Using Hdmi Capable Laptop?
toby replied to turbopowerdmaxsteel's topic in Hardware Workshop
If you meant external screenwise, only one computer and its cpus/gpus do the processings for all screens. It seems laptops don't have input of this kind. -
Ram is so cheap that this is a lot of effort compared to buying another stick. 512, even if you got 4/5 of it, won't be enough for new stuff to be smooth.

This is very high quantity, I'm not sure many people would pick this over a hard disk. I have smaller (Mozy) online backups plus an external hard drive, what makes this better?

No, it was when I was on Windows, I uninstalled it maybe June last year.Clutsy means clumsy, it didn't flow well, and stopped for too long too often.

You chose to just get 99s, you ruined it by yourself for yourself. Other people play it properly. -

Yep, there are screenshots all over the place, but fullscreen control of your own character in HD can't be shown by pictures, or even youtube. -

Anyone who hasn't played since HD shouldn't comment on the graphics, which is anyone whos quit in the last 10 months (mid July).Content is endlessly adding. The chat filter was reccently (last month) massively relaxed. Noobs are rare, avoidable, ignorable and annoyable. Free players do and will get updates. Jagex have funorb and soon mechscape, all three will be kept going. -
I used it a year ago, all I remember was effective but clutsy. It often got into an unfrozen state of no exit.

School servers which there's something like 10 application servers and 6 data servers working for tens of thousands of people running Office, Vmware, a lot of Macromedia and so on.Some people bring laptops in, 4 gig, 2.6 or so dual core (do they even do quad for laptops?), Vista and 7, really good graphics. To then only use Office and retro games.

Probably depends on the router model, please state. With home routers I doubt it. I've been working with 1841 routers and even some of cisco routers can't do it.

If you don't know anything you probably shouldn't do it at all. If you must, we both know Google as well as each other.

Another option is to get other programs. You can get ie4linux or some similar program (though, I can't install IE8 onto a wine derivative), Eclipse for C, Gimpshop for Photoshop and so on.

Talk To God: Artificial Inteligence Chat ( Flash )
toby replied to pyost's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Kinda poor, but then it is now four or more years old. Identifies the verb+noun and uses that, I missed a word off a noun and it just shows it's auto replies with your verb/noun.Smarterchild is slightly better. -
The main two groups are user-written or help-funded. Canonical who make Ubuntu are entirely funded by paid support, and Shuttleworth (Thawte and Ubuntu founder). Help-funded is pretty much always one person (mIRC) or a large professional group. User-written sometimes go towards propriety, like OpenOffice into NeoOffice and possibly back.
