Can you mask it with Ludwig van Beethoven's 9th symphony next time?

Whoever deceided it was a good idea to use techno as background music for the fourth DC podcast needs to be run over by several large trucks, then eaten by tigers and have their eyes removed with a spoon.

What happened to the cute piano and organ music?

Other than that,... good job

Have you looked at your time logs of how much time you spend chatting?

Usually at the same time I'm doing other stuff too

Another problem with speech is that it's real-time. You can't go and make a cup of tea, come back and read what you've missed. Also you can't converse and have different conversations with mutliple people simultaniously.

since talking is alot easier than typing...

No way! I type 100x faster than I can talk. For some reason talking seems to require more brainpower for me. I hate it, I always stay away from stuff like teamspeak

Interesting,... Microsoft on the GameMaker studio boat,...

What's the catch?

I can't help but wonder how flexible this will be and how fast (or slow) it will be.
I mentioned slow because .NET was mentioned in the article,... .Net...games...?...eww :p
And after having seen the system requirements for Vista, I'm afraid to find out the requirements for this one.

General Software Discussion / Re: Windows XP Myths

« on: July 19, 2006, 05:05 PM »

Rover makes a good point, there probably comparing windows OS vulns with linux+all apps that run on it vulns, that's just wrong.

And the only reason why there are more reported vulnerabilities for linux applications in the first place, is because they are easyer to spot, since it's all open source. On linux they usually get spotted, reported, and fixed quite fast, which adds to the security.
On windows they aren't usually spotted all that easily unless you want to dig through a bunch of assembly and do random penetration tests. And when they are spotted you're at the mercy of the original developers to wait for a fix, while on linux you can apply a patch to the original source code and recompile.

That comparison is so wrong for so many reasons and i probably only covered not even half of it :p

Living Room / Re: WHy is microsoft software so unreliable?

« on: July 19, 2006, 04:35 PM »

Microsoft's answer would be that it's all because of other non-microsoft software you have installed.

The problem is probably that Microsoft is too big, and they have a horrible business policy.
I'm sure they have both very good and very bad programmers, but when you have very large teams, the chance of the few very bad programmers doing something horrible increase significantly.
The other problem is that their business policy is to eliminate all compitition, so naturally, it they put in a few crashes into their software here and there that they can blame on third party software, that's all for the better.

Yeah in Linux it's easy to get bitten by the tweaking bug, just because you CAN. I've been using gentoo for the longest time and lots of time was always spent on compiling and configuring etc,... though usually once I have it as I want I can start being productive. On my other machine I installed ubuntu(dapper), which pretty much worked out of the box, I didn't even need to compile any drivers into my kernel. So that saves some time, offcourse now i'm stuck with a gnome desktop. I always used either fluxbox or afterstep. I haven't gotten around to changing it yet, I might actually switch back to afterstep later, but it works for now. I'm not gonna start fiddling around too much again now that I'm finally being somewhat productive

Aren't we a silly bunch. We love *nix but we hate Linux. I don't know if we even know what we love or hate.
There's allot of stuff in that list that I'd switch around tho, that's for sure, but that's just me

I hate lifehacker with a passion for example, I dunno why, I get this big yuppy-alert vibe from it Maybe I just don't like them telling me how unorganised I am

hehe, that one's funny,..

But it seems like that's overrated considering there are still often big rendering differences between browsers.

Yeah,... I'm just thinking of a bright future, where, some day, browsers use the standard, render everything in the same way, and don't accept 'bad' html.

- Back to reality,- however,... I'll have to accept the fact that *HTML is hopelessly broken for now.

Cool! Seeing opensource libs and components with such a rich feature set is a bit rare in the bcb/delphi communities. Awesome find!
