Encrypts your IM conversations in Pidgin. Useful incase you're paranoid about big brother watching you or something.

(And if you dislike Pidgin, you can use the AIM proxy on the same page. And there is a few alternatives...)

Sorry, no TF2

My laptop can't run the Orange Box.

I even have the DVDs right here.

And I am sad.
There's some ways getting TF2 and similar games to work on crappier hardware.

...unless you laptop REALLY sucks.

I verify someone the first time I meet someone over IM and then get suspicious whenever it switches to unverified.

You can do the secret question thing, which is what me and blackhole89 did to each other.

Port 443 happens to be used by something else and blackhole89 isn't bothering with changing that.

Non-standard ports shouldn't cause any problems, unless you have a really nazi ISP.

Well keep in mind there's pretty much four active generations of the Source engine. It's roughly something like the following:

Half Life 2 [Supports DirectX 7-8?]
Half Life 2: Episode one (This is the generation some pre-OB games belong to as far I recall, such as Counterstrike: Source). [Supports DirectX 7-9]
Orange Box (HL2: Episode 2, Portal, Team Fortress, Day of Defeat Source, Garry's mod) [Supports DirectX 8-9]
Left 4 dead [Dropped support for DirectX 8, DirectX 9 only]

A common trick to get Orange box games running on crappier hardware is to force DirectX 8 mode on them. Defiantly the first thing I would try too. The L4D generation dropped some cvars (such as mat_picmap which controls texture quality.... why?), while Orange Box added a few neat ones (like the infamous mat_queue_mode that enables/disables multi-threading).

Well there is a few graphics card that supports everything related to DX9, but just happens to be faster under DX8.

Plus DX8 mode happens to turn off some resource expensive effects. Personally TF2 looses most of it's graphical charm as soon you start using DX8, especially the lightning of the characters get's more boring.

Also to clarify, the bar in Windows with the Start menu button... that's Windows explorer.

Linux' ntfs-3g won't mount NTFS volumes marked unclean, I think. Run chkdsk or something.
Actually it will if you force it. I had to do that once when I had a drive marked unclean due to a (panic-induced) shutdown. I then mounted the NTFS partition manually with --force and removed the troubling malware I had. It's probably dangerous if Windows is in "hibernation" and could cause corruption.

If you forcingly turned off the computer, Windows shouldn't be in hibernation anyway and it should be safe to forcingly mount the disc...

Viruses is also the more used term so...
Posted by Stark
Not always. Just almost always. Generally there's nothing identifiable that would lead to a name, but the very first recorded computer virus, The Creeper, identified itself as such. So I guess if you wrote a virus and had part of its code execution print on screen "Hello, my name is (name) and I have infected your computer" then you would be naming your virus. But no one would ever do that because when people know they have a virus it's much harder for it to spread because they can immediately kill it if they know what they're doing. Much better to be silent and subversive.
Viruses and malware have gone to from being the job of computer hackers with too much sparetime to criminals who wants to sell their bootleg viagra. So of course they don't want to identify themselves.

Infact most modern viruses don't even try to ruin the computer it's on. It's easier to spread if none notices it.

Zelda entering the industrial age.

I look forward to the sequel where they use things from the atomic age. A cold war with a magical nuclear weapon?

Or the Information Age, where Link is surfing on the internet.

Probably too late for me to try to catch up within the top five.



I really should at least try to break out of that horrible horrible tie. Hmm...

Check it out! You can use it as a "live bookmark" in most modern browsers (At least in IE7 and Firefox 3), or use it in a proper RSS reader.

The RSS feed lists the latest posts posted in the forum.

We're still tweaking the way it works (so feedback is appreciated), and we're planning to make it possible to have individual RSS feds for individual forums and threads. So you can be informed of a new post in a thread without having to manually refresh the said thread.

Oh, and as a added bonus... there's a last post link next to the usernames in the forum pages~

Edit: forum specific feeds are available now.

Actually seems understandable for me, even if they kinda had to cheat in some ways... probably to make it manageable.

Timetravelling in videogames is something I always thought on. If you make the world determinable and records the events as they go along... I guess you can easily add time travel into a game.

The concept of channels and feeds are fairly old. I mean the predecessor of RSS is from 1999, and... I rather worry about how well (or badly) the current implementation is rather than if anyone else made their RSS implementation.

The discussion earlier about balance in Pokémon does make me wonder if the series would be more intresting if taken as a MMORPG, with balances put in automatically.
