I know what you mean about people with their "my firend had one and it died" thing.
I have heard similar things in regards to consoles and other pieces of kit, but without real proof or a believable story, I tend to ignore it for the most …
Actually, the "breaking away" started a few years ago when I first installed Mandrake.
Mandrake 8.2 was beutiful, but had no compatibility with my sound setup, so I upgraded as soon as I could get hold of a copy of 9.1 (codename: Bamboo), …
Neither am I.
I only have 256MB of DDR RAM and a 64MB GPU.
I find it somewhat funny that you'd need insanely high specs to get vista to run well as I believe apple's osx has had many of the visual capabilities for some time and their systems only co…
Continues because vB limits length:
I know that apple is phasing out IBM's PowerPC based CPU's in favour of Intel's x86 architecture based cpu's (they are using intel chips and intel are the ones responcible for the x86 architecture, but I dunno if…
This is the only forum I have ever been on where most of the active users are Welsh :/
Usually, it's the Americans, Asians (Japan and South Korea) or Europeans as a whole.
Speaking of South Korea, our technology sucks compared to theirs.
We have an …
Pointless piece of tat if you ask me.
Microsoft's own 360 remote can work with TV's and the 360 and I'm quite happy with my free 360 and PC compatible mini remote which came with my premium launch pack.
It'd be somewhat ok if you have a home media c…

Well, my first wireless mouse was ok, but was powered by AA betteries and it had no charger.
This meant that I'd have to mess about changing batteries when the stupid thing died and if you've got no spare batteries, you're buggered.
My other…
GAH!
I mean Google :P
Also, Apple's OS is based on unix, not linux.
Granted, £300 isn't much if you already have some of the kit, or can get it from somewhere like ebay, but Apple is well known for making systems which just aren't good value for m…
I have a labtec wired optical mouse pro (basically a mouse with the standard 2 button and scroll wheel design and then two smaller buttons for internet navigation and such) and a Trust pen tablet with a pen and wireless mouse (the mouse can't be use…
Yes, they are the same as what Tidy throws out as basic warnings.
With Tidy, warnings are classed as errors which the Tidy engine can usually repair and errors are classed as faults Tidy either cannot fix, or which it doesn't even understand.
Error …
Granted, the small form cube idea isn't origional, though Apple's G4 Cube was, if I'm not mistaken, panned quite a bit for being too expencive for just the box and the fact that you could pay the same amount and get better specs and it's still true …
Your CSS tag is closing itself before your CSS is even read, so it causes Tidy to throw out the following:
Plain text isn't allowed in the <head> section (caused by the dodgy style tag).
Unneeded </style> tag (because it's already closed…
Apparently, Google is up to something... Something big.
If you're a google nerd, you'll know that two of the jokes that have been going about since started branching out are that they'll probably end up releasing an OS and that they could end up cre…
Yeah, you have a point in that C++ is a pain to learn, but I'm sure Microsoft offers at least SOME documentation on using their HTML rendering engine via their activex control in their IDE on their OS... But who knows, Microsoft has done some dumb t…
The mozilla control is designed to be used almost exactly like the explorer one once it's installed.
Winzip only compression algorythms = bad (.ZIP isn't the best, but at least people can open it).
Let me guess...
Made with Visual C++ Express using the browser component or Gecko via the ActiveX control...
If any of this applies, there's never going to be an Apple or Linux compatible release since ActiveX is windows only.

I don't own my own company with critical data on PC's, but I still use high standard and virtually indestructable power splitters (the one I am using now is a belkin surgemaster that's got a £15,000 warranty for anything plugged into it and…

CBG: OS X user.
Topic: Microsoft.
Result: CBG ranting about how OS X is easier.
By the way, I had the WiFi networking kit before I got this PC, but I'm pretty sure that it was just a case of putting in the driver disc, letting XP load the d…
Aha, thats class python...
You already posted saying "good job", but you didn't actually see what you were posting about :rolleyes:
P.S.
Daniel, hurry up and sort your site out.
I registered and it changed all the links to go to non-exist…

I doubt it matters to python since it was so easy to do that anyone with a decent image editor could have done it.
I don't usually go for that kind of glass effect though, I prefer one I adapted from the mac button effect I learned a while a…
Another couple of things I noticed:
1: Your lightsource is in the wrong place.
If your arc is at the top, the lighter end of the gradient should be at the bottom.
2: The arc (which is used to simulate how light would reflect off of a translucent / …
Not at the moment.
I used to own a site called TSMedia.org which was basically where I posted stuff about things I was programming.
My last site was hosted by a guy called leafo from gamingw.net, so that'd fall under the free category.
I'm actually …
It's not bad...
If you're planning on putting it on a light coloured background, the dark border around the main circle would be better in a lighter colour as it stands out too much IMHO.
You should go read a couple of those "how to do a glass …
Alcohol is a depressive, but as it also causes you to lose your self control, it can seem to have the effect of making you happier at first.
It's usually in people who drink a lot that you notice the depressive effects such as people using it as a w…

Those prices seem pretty competitive unless you know what to look for in a budget hosting company.
Granted, 5,000MB for $9.95 seems reasonable, but you only get 50G…
C++ is pretty old, but it's still one of the most powerful languages to program with.
The most recent version of the VB IDE should support .NET like everything else coming out of Microsoft's development tools arm these days.
