As for fanboyish reviews, I don't think I've been sufficiently awed by any new program in a long time. Other than Total Commander, which is pure perfection of course!Why on earth use TC when there's xplorer2?-tranglos (November 24, 2008, 12:01 PM)
@Mouser: Could the post editing be time limited? I makes sense to allow editing for 1-2 hours after posting, but why should we be allowed to edit posts that are 1 week old, or more? Some sites don't allow editing, you post it, it is there...Might actually be a good idea - it would thwart the spam-edits, as well as prevent people from going rampant and removing their old posts in pissed-off-fury
I appreciate the possibility to edit posts, but it could be limited in time.. after all subsequent posts are responses to that post, not an edited (possibly totally different) one.

One more thing (not a bug since it's by design) that should be considered: as some have pointed out, the most impressive feature of MF is the real-time RAID-1 mode. But when in that mode, MF duplicates every single writes to the destination -- including, e.g., writing to temp files -- and could hamper performance if the destination is on a slow/busy connection.As long as you're just backing up data files (which is all you should be backing up, anyway), this isn't that much of a problem, imho-mwang (November 23, 2008, 01:05 AM)
- but iirc some non-English users had trouble with FARR, so perhaps there are issues when only searching the local codepage, with those "richer" languages.Two things though: the links in your list of articles, when displayed on the donationcoder frontpage, does not work (not in Firefox, not in Maxthon). Clicking a link only centres it but does not show the text and does not redirect to the relevant forum thread.Probably a thing for mouser to look at - internal links might not work that well outside of thread view.-Nod5 (November 22, 2008, 11:53 AM)
In the forum thread, I think it would be better to remove the "click to reveal/hide" buttons and just display all the contents as is. The user can quickly scroll. Additionally, a clickable index could be placed at the top.those buttons were added by popular demand-Nod5 (November 22, 2008, 11:53 AM)
- perhaps we should take a poll vote on it? Or coax mouser into doing some addon so we can have personal preferences? 
VirtualBox has a kernel module that gives it ring-1 level access to your CPU. Its commands are executed natively, rather than emulated. Only the attached hardware devices run through emulation. This results in a massive speed up, especially on older hardware.VMWare does the same, plus it has special drivers of graphics and network cards to speed up things massively. Again, what makes VirtualBox superior?-D-- (November 22, 2008, 08:19 AM)
Regarding the ALT+0151 thing, do you know how to do this from Xfce and while using the SCIM input method? I do not use xim because I need to be able to input non-English text. All the guides on the Ubuntu Web site assume xim in a Gnome environment.Nope, sorry - but I'm absolutely sure it's doable-D-- (November 22, 2008, 08:19 AM)
Even in 2001 all the comp science people were geeked about KDevelop. I've never been a C programmer or a KDE user, so I never bothered to look at it. However, I'm sure it's even more amazing today. There are a lot of careers where Linux may offer better software solutions than Windows or Mac.KDevelop, Anjuta, Code::Blocks etc are all inferior to Visual Studio. Pretty sad state of affairs. The best non-VS IDE I've seen is Eclipse, which is OK for JAVA development (haven't tried it for C++), but has it's own quirks...-D-- (November 22, 2008, 08:19 AM)
Am i the only one who didn't particularly enjoy half life?Don't worry, every neighbourhood had weird kids that didnn't enjoy halflife. Most of them turned out OK.-mouser (November 21, 2008, 04:53 PM)
Hmm... I just checked my boot.ini file and it hasn't changed since I installed Windows (August 6), so I don't know that it is changing that field, which in any event is not present.I momentarily forgot that Vista doesn't use boot.ini anymore, but instead the BCD area... thus "bcedit" is used for changing boot settings.-Darwin (November 20, 2008, 12:50 PM)
If you have that data in the format they want, submit it and they may add it to the Your Maps section.Well, I'd say the already have all the data they need to make those "proper" maps... they probably just din't think much, or perhaps they see everything in absolutes-app103 (November 20, 2008, 11:52 AM)
