Though the general idea is there, GameCube discs don't use any kind of ISO, it's Nintendo's own proprietary filesystem

You'd have to modify the game in order to take advantage of more memory -- probably a much harder task than said.

I wonder how much RAM you could give the N64 and be addressable; the official expansion only went to 8MB, but the MIPS64 arch (which N64 is based on) could do up to 16EiB

The DS supports 802.11b and 802.11g, either unencrypted or WEP-encrypted (which is cracked in less than a minute, might as well be running unencrypted anyway). All other encryption mechanisms are incompatible

Great news for the topic this thread diverged into, current Nintendo DS methods don't rely on any security flaws; they really look just like officially-signed carts now.

What a great idea about splitting this thread, unfortunately this board doesn't have quite so extensive of a moderation system

The other part of your post... People have been able to sign their own code just as Nintendo does and run it through the NDS' SLOT-1 since January 2006 (commercial derivatives like Max Media Launcher have been around since about May). No BIOS or firmware bugs (like what PassMe 1 and 2 rely on) needed. And no, I don't know what you're talking about network issues between Phantasy Star and A PC, what article, and are you even talking about the NDS?

Personally, I just use my DS to play music; but mostly because my iPod broke and it's less expensive to get a CompactFlash card.

At least, GNU ls is the one that's all colorful. ls can show a lot more information than dir, though I suppose it's because Unix filesystems are magnitudes more sophisicated than DOS.

Uh, listing a directory provides nothing useful? I fail to see your logic.

And to be honest, I like the *.* format better than the unix "We have no extensions, LOL" format.

What you mean, is that Unix doesn't have any low-level filesystem structures splitting up a filename. Doesn't mean extensions don't exist. Also, when you're searching for *.*, it should be assumed that you're searching for everything with a dot (.) in the filename, whereas * means everything.

I have extensions on almost everything, it's good to know what kind of content it is without needing to use file(1) or something to find out what kind of data a file holds

Filenames that start with a dot, are called hidden files, because unless specified, most programs won't display them unless you tell them to display hidden files

The hidden flag is pointless on a multiuser operating system with permission bits. Hidden files are better suited towards configuration things you don't normally want to see. Some filesystems like ext2 or reiserfs have a hidden flag, though it's nearly useless. I don't see how any of this has to do with keeping "filenames that make sense", at least Unix lets you use many characters that Win/DOS restrict you from for little reason (usually archane reasons, like keeping compatibilty with 1970s CP/M applications, real sensible).

Ah yes, if my logs aren't lying (of which I'm pretty sure they're not, gaim isn't meant to lie), it was instead myself expressing how stupid relying them as the holy grail of accuracy is. Obviously, if I opened README.txt in gvim and found out that it was instead some binary goop, I'd probably be upset, more upset over whoever named it so. Then I'd use file and find out it was something else (like say, a JPEG).

I said I could never get the find syntax to work perhaps syntax is the wrong word to have used, arguments maybe?

That manual page seems to cover it very well, what do you have trouble understanding?

Not a flash cart, Max Media Dock. a puny $40 device that can defeat all of the PSP fanboys' claims. Right now it has a 1GB CompactFlash in it halt-full of MP3s (I'd normally use vorbis, but the DS doesn't quite have that much power).

I first read the title... though it was a very good thing, finally trying to make Windows applications more sane. Boy was I wrong. They have a condensed summary that kind of explains everything, here's my view on it (note, it would probably be best if you read MS's page first, or read along it):

Rule 1: Force users into using Microsoft's choice of theme and font


AERO, AERO, AERO, AERO, AERO, AERO, *vocal cords break*
Well, it worked so well into making people think they're trendy with Luna and Trebuchet MS, didn't it?

Rule 2: Use screen-hogging dialogs that take up 1024x768 pixels


Macintosh did it all within a 512x384 screen, we can do better!

Rule 3: Use screen-hogging, resource-hogging translucency effects


Everybody loves to see their simple note-taking program with tons of eye-candy!

Rule 4: Use icons that are consistent with Vista, and people will believe Microsoft made the application


What's better than making people believe you didn't author an application, but the most monopolistic software company did!

Rule 5: Let's keep overly-ambigous dialogs for the sake of Windows 95 consistency!


Does the dialog make no sense if you simply slap OK|Cancel or Yes|No|Cancel on it? Then use it!

Rule 6: If you can't make a reasonable UI with properly-named menu and toolbar items, use an Aero-style Wizard!


Don't worry if the wizard is for the File|New command, users just love to waste time!

Rule 7: Make everything look like a web browser


Do you want to be snazzy? Add back and forward buttons even for applications without use for them!

Rule 8: Let users search for files anywhere


They won't even need to stop calculating to open a word processing document!

Rule 9: Everybody loves the andriod-like Microsoft tone


The more your users think you're a faceless developer, the more users won't care if your product sucks! Always assume your users are too stupid to read.

Rule 10: Keep using vague menu items that make no sense for the task at hand


Does your calculator need a FIle or Edit menu? No? Then put it in!

Rule 11: Everybody loves annoying virtual balloons


Just as much as they love web browsers without pop-up blocking!

Rule 12: Are your users making rumors about vapourware? Hurry up development and make it look pretty, no matter how unstable or buggy it is!


There's big profit in half-vapourware, after all!
