  1. before we can do anything we need to know more. read the 2 links in my sig and give us the lowdown on your connection.
  2. seeing how ie is a huge part of the os and ff is just a cobbled together browser, [glow=red,2,300]by the way, can the oh so touted new version at least display glow text properly?[/glow], i see no reason to castrate my ability to see web content correctly. i'm sticking with ie.
  3. ok, since i'm so retarded (don't feed the troll, but really don't flame the troll. or reap what you sow) nokia n90. 2mp camera. carl zeiss optics, autofocus. nokia usa doesn't advertise the claimed 20x optical zoom, and it would be a great feature. leads me to the conclusion it's the zoom is probably the make my picture as grainy as can be by zooming in electronically, meaning interpolating what the middle 10 pixels of the sensor see. as for your 16 bit 262,000 colors, make up your mind. 16 bit would be 64k colors. 262,000 colors is what your display claims to be capable of. if either value is correct for the color depth of the pictures taken, it sucks the big one. for photos you want at least a 24 bit pallette, giving you 16.7 million colors. your conviction that the camera is the greatest thing since sliced bread? to each his own, but if i go and spend that much on a camera (the phone being worth maybe 120 or so with contract, means you blew 280 for a 2mp digicam. go to best buy and weep at the real digicams you can get for that money. with a real optical zoom. the quality of the pics you posted is frankly crap. doing a pic off a screen is never good quality, as shown by the moirees in the first one (those wavy interference lines where the grid of the screen and the sensor mesh like looking through two bug screens at once). the second one shows the graininess of the digital zoom. the third one gives some useful info on the sensor itself, which is low quality as in most phonecams. there is tons of hiss and noise evident in the picture, unless of course you spraypainted your laptop in subtle reds and blues in random spots.
  4. leaves the question why buy a 400 dollar phone with a dinky cam when you can spend the 400 dollars on a good phone and a good camera?
  5. hm, but some quick brainmelting math shows that the 100 virtual hunters (players) an hour would spend between 10 and 50 bucks each for virtual goods they loot. excuse me, but does it strike anyone else here as insane that people play some MUD and then plop down 10 to 50 bucks for a virtual buck to hang on a virtual wall in a virtual apartment that cost real rent? hello?
  6. except that generating and processing the ajax page takes time too.
  7. did you mean a flamewar on cybercrime? huh? did ya? ok then! put em up big boy! put em up! i'll murderize ya! come on boy!
  8. was a fizzle. a few deleted posts i hate mod xxx, you all suck etc. etc. seen better.
  9. well, either you're the 14 yr. old, in that case you should listen to those just to see if it tickles your fancy, and since i'm guessing you're putting together a compilation for someone else, put those in anyways. 's good shit.
  10. so you want what, a list of cool tunes? zztop - la grange zztop - cheap sunglasses rolling stones - paint it black rolling stones - start me up ozzy osbourne - dreamer sepultura - rattamahatta guns 'n roses - paradise city guns 'n roses - mr brownstone
  11. well, for my thoughts on firefox, try http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=9982.0 how's that for a commercial?
  12. don't say i dodn't warn you .s1. 2/3 through i started feeling queasy myself. the chili i'd just had came to mind...
  13. if you are squeamish, do not watch this. it will make you puke. http://college.break.com/articles/pukedump.html it is seriously the most disgusting thing i have ever seen.
  14. :haha: [glow=red,2,300]maybe for the new version they will fix some of the more[/glow] [glow=blue,2,300]blatant bugs in their display engine[/glow] [glow=green,2,300]all you fireflop users know exactly wehat i'm talking about.[/glow] [glow=purple,2,300]maybe they will even figure out how to display lines in the places the designers intended them to be.[/glow]
  15. a vibration jacket for chickens. just what i always wanted. now i can cyber-sodomize my pet chicken without risking the bird flu. i wonder if their word for chicken translates to some other animal as well. because even in singapore 'chicken' does not sound like the ideal pet, or is it just me? and electronic pj's? pedophiles the world over rejoice. is it just me or is the thought of hugging your kid through some electronic body suit just a bit too far out there?
  16. actually those numbers include the value of stolen goods. as in 15 bucks or so for every stolen cd, the stolen dvds, the stolen games...
  17. that says it's a micro atx. call hp again, point em to it, and see what they say. i'll bet you a scooby snack that they say no, you have to buy our 120 dollar one.
  18. read the 2 links in my sig. post info. have a nice day.
  19. and with that, how long will it take for ms to follow suit? 'but we want to use opensource software'. can you say 'never look a gift horse in the mouth'? just because some geek wants to use open source doesn't mean little timmy in timbuktu wants anything to do with it.
  20. has the newsgroup dl been faster, is anything else slow? could it be that the news server you are using is just slow atm?
  21. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104904 keep your pantyhose on, it's only been 8.5 hours.
  22. hey, all ms bashing aside, but if they use some patched version of win98 or some beefed up version of windows ce, the resources wouldn't be much of a problem. and using win98 on a CrankTop™ would be a great lesson in troubleshooting, os maintenance and last but not least patience. imo, windows is the better choice for an end user system, with all its faults, because you can just do a reinstall of windows far easier than having to set up linux again. and heaven forbid a kernel updtate comes out or some such, then everyone has to spend a day dling new drivers, patches, workarounds etc. not to mention installing all that. i'm not bashing linux as an os, i'm bashing linux for its lack of point and click friendliness.
  23. did you set up the netgear as an access point behind the dlink or did you replace the dlink?
