  1. Go firefox, couldn't find a single one it let through. And i think firefox is all its cracked up to be, maybe not as secure, but definatly faster with plenty of addons! Fun fun.
  2. Hmm, i cannot reproduce the problem with there example code. Can anyone else get it to work? When I click the link, the browser goes right to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ like its supposed to. Does 1.0.1 fix this problem?
  3. All the DSs in the stores are all crapped up, the touch screen is very precise and responsive in a brand new unit. And the games as of now are OKish, except for the first hunt demo and Super Mario 64, but there are plenty of new titles coming with some primse.
  4. Ad-Aware is falling behind in the race, though. Spybot is pretty old too. Get the free trial of Spy sweeper, and the Microsoft Anti-Spyware. The latter is first rate, it has real time protection absolutly free!!
  5. wow. Why would i want to visit harry potter while playing Everquest. Sorry, but me thinks quite dumb. The pizza idea, im sry, if you can't get off ur lasy butt to take a 5 min break from the game to order pizza from your local pizza parlor, you have problems.
  6. I didn't select a firewall, that was the frustrating thing . O well, im back in familiar territory, but thanx for the reply
  7. I've heard that it'll will be using this new processor, the Cell processor being devopedly jointly by Sony and a few other companies. It'll be interesting to see, as Sony is banking everything on the Cell processor being a success. No one knows if it will be as fast as they say it will be (they messure it in terahertz, me think BS), or whether it will even work. But Sony might sink if it doesn't since itz cost them a lot of money.
  8. The DS doesn't have a TCP/IP stack in its wireless, so in order for games to go online, theyd have to implement that. Not saying it won't happen, but when they say 802.11b wireless, they mean the 802.11b frequency, not that out of the box it can communicate w/ an 802.11b router. In case you didn't know, the only way it could go online is if you had a Wi-fi router in range that was connected to the internet(which would probably be broadband).
  9. I will always be a nintendo gamer for one reason and one reason only: innovation. Simply put, nintendo is the most innovative. The best sony can do is put a new screen, expensive portable graphics, mini disc format DVD player, and theyir logo together and make a PSP. Nintendo continues to innovate and games, and now with their hardware. Something unheard of, a device with two screens. Borrowing from PDAs, the bottom screen is touch sensative. Sounds crazy on paper, but have you tried playin the thing? Most people haven't. And since the PSP sounds better on paper with lots of large numbers and other technical specs and it can play certain small disc format DVDs, many think it will simply be better because of those numbers. Let me tell you, however crazy the dual screens sounds on paper, is not the same as it plays. The dual screens can be applied to almost any game. Precise steering in a racer(Ridge Racers DS). Aiming for a FPS (check out the Metriod hunters Demo), menus for a simulation game(The urbz: Sims in the city), and even hatch a whole new type of game(Wario Ware, touched). As for people who think itz kiddy, the new Castlevania will be for the DS, you've already got Sprung and Feel the magic, as well as a few racers, and FFCC coming to DShood as well. For me anyway, the choice is clear. DS!!
  10. I use the Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse setup, w/ laser mouse. I don't really like it though, sometimes my KVM messes it up and I have to completly unplug the receiver for it to work.
  11. well, I'm heading back to windows. I'm fairly convinced that windows is far better than Linux in terms of reliability and speed.
  12. Ok, I'm running a custom built server app for something that i'm making. But thatz beside the point. Its in Java, and my code works. I put it on my Red Hat 9 system, and install JRE 1.5. I try to run it, and it works fine. Then, I go to my router, and configure my port forwording, exactly how I used to when I had windows XP on the system. When the computer was running windows XP in the exact same configuration, users on the internet could access it fine. Now that itz under red hat, it will not. It works fine from inside my LAN, just not from the outside. I'm guessing it's a some hidden "security" feature of Linux that thinks its being smart. Anyway, I selected no firewall on the install, so why the heck is it blocking outside connection attempts? I consider myself pretty good with computers (I can use Java, Perl, HTML, PHP, C, VB 6 though I mainly use Java), and so far Linux has been a rollercoaster. If I can't get this to work, i'll be heading back for ground I'm more familiar with, Windows XP.
  13. Meh, those things to confuzing for my simple brain. Normally, when I just enter what I want to find, it shows up in either the first page or the second page, which is good enough for me.
  14. I'm not sure about the cost, but dual core is definatly the wave of the future. AMD is jumping on it too. It will definatly be an interesting battle between the two. I'd be interested to see how Hyper-Threading will work w/ Intel's dual core chip.
  15. Id say 499 is a steal for an Apple computer. I belive that apples trying to hit to the budget people right now, as the ipod shuffle also came out that day. Who knows what theyre planning to do... J2theMB
