DC Website Help and Extras / Current Online Members

« on: December 22, 2006, 11:45 AM »

Quick question - how is the currently online members list at the bottom of the forum index ordered? (i.e. I can tell it's not alphabetical) Silly question I know, but just curious

Early xmas present

As for breaking tv's ... I don't know, have to be a freak or idiot.  Or be trying to make blogosphere headlines.

You know, I'd love a Wii this xmas. Did I ever tell you how much I value your programming abilities Allen 

Oh - and I also LOVE  Editpad Pro. Do I get extra points for this?  Please advise.

Hope you don't also have an expensive tv

The general idea is a scam.

Selling open-source software, isn't.. it's legal - and to be honest - a big part of the GPL that you can redistribute the software..

But IMO Thinkall are scamming, deceiving, lying, tricking dross and should be banned from any kind of directorship indefinitely.

Living Room / Re: Top 10 Worst Portrayals of Technology in Film

« on: December 18, 2006, 12:12 AM »

What we need is a top 10 most accurate portayal of technology list.

Also, why did the matrix not make the list? The idea that they shove a metal rod which is about half a foot in length into the back of your skull is laughable. How in the hell would they have implanted that without damaging the brain or nervous system/cerebelum which is near that area?

-Josh (December 17, 2006, 09:45 PM)

I mean no offense, but it made me giggle that the part of The Matrix you felt is more 'unreal' wasn't the idea of the world being virtual and people reading the world on a computer screen 

Josh, could I have a screencast of the world for Christmas please  I feel short-changed in my abilities

Try this google search:

http://www.google.co...n&q=PolZegerully

Notice in the first 100 results that all of the forum signups were within the last 3 days. Also notice that there was only 1 post made, and it is almost identical to the one here.

I saw the same message from the same username on another forum yesterday and only thought it was odd when I saw it here today.

-app103 (December 17, 2006, 02:15 AM)

Maybe it's somehow something for a google-bomb?

« on: December 17, 2006, 01:41 AM »

Several people have emailed me warning me that PolZegerully has been registering and posting this same message at every forum on the web.  Guess it's just spam.. Regardless, perhaps others wanted to know how to send a personal message.

And now we wait for the mystery of PolZegerully to be revealed!! Please let us know when he hatches his plot to take over the internets!

Living Room / Banned from efnet?!

« on: December 16, 2006, 06:34 PM »

I've just tried to get on the efnet IRC channel for dc.. and no efnet servers are letting me on, saying I'm banned for 10 days. EH????

IP is dynamic so maybe that is it but why would the 14400 minutes banned for notice be so precise?

I miss #donationcoder

Well, after a few days, I am still avidly using Cooliris. 

I find it perfect for search results, forums, digg articles... anything which is a list of links. I'm just glad I can install it at work otherwise I would now feel strange using a browser without this kind of functionality

Living Room / Re: I wish there was some way to Encrypt my bike so it won't be stolen

« on: December 14, 2006, 10:59 AM »

Is an armed personnel guarding the bike 24/7/365 a viable option for you? 

Jokes aside.. I am sorry to hear this.. some people don't realise the effect their actions have on others. I believe f0dder lost his bike too (am I right f0dder??  ). I don't cycle much so can't suggest a solution.. but I offer my sympathy

Some people must really fall for these kind of trickery. Especially when the word lawyer comes into play...

I'm not sure it's as much trickery, as pure stupidity!

General Software Discussion / Simple, freeware, soundcard output recorder?

« on: December 14, 2006, 04:45 AM »

I need a simple, no bells'n'whistles program that lets me record output from a soundcard, if anyone knows of one?  I will be using it to record output from the JAWS screen reader.

Does anyone have a favourite? A google search revealed many shareware applications, nothing free/donationware though... 

Thanks for any recommendations in advance
