O RLY? ;)

The difference between storing it in your cache and saving it is that one is deemed transient and the other not (caches expire after a set period of time, theoretically). Strange but that's jargon for ya :\

Turned off the windows firewall? Can you connect to IRC outside of packetnews?

Actually - not sure about this so don't take my word for it - I believe that saving a website in order to view it in your own time (ie. for temporary purposes) would not be a breach of copyright, however the reproduction of said material would be. That would include emailing the page to a...

i wonder if that means they'll be changing their branding - there's so many people with .hotmail accounts though. Looks more Exchange/outlook-y than their current MSN webportal but then I hear they're going to change that too...

Now now, let's settle this with a good duel. :) Grats on keeping your marks AND your mage xD For the record, this little anti is a 60 warlock (alli) on blackrock.. come pwn me, because i know not what i do

In terms of finding the best price, take cash (as with all technology) since you can often get a discount for paying with cash/EFTPOS. Also shop around, even at different branches of the same retailer since sometimes one store will have a sale where others don't. A bit late I suppose, but I...

Digital cameras are getting pretty cheap these days. At that price I'm assuming you're looking for a point-and-click alternative to film, right? I don't know what the current entry-level specs are but generally: * anything over 3 megapixels is good and won't be too expensive * go for an...

You can change it down the bottom of every page too!

You can change the format from your control panel - it may be saved as a cookie so if you login elsewhere you may have set the 'old' format to default or something. I read it in oldschool view (all posts in order of date posted) but you can also set it to threaded / hybrid view, is that what...

The correct answer is "a while". Refer to Custom Status FAQ for details (stickied at the top of this forum).

I think it works if you listen to it before you sleep. Most text-to-speech programs don't translate overly technical phrases very well, so I hope you're only typing using simple English :p Wouldn't it be faster to just read the notes and record yourself, then play it back while you're...

I know this is a dodgy solution, but couldn't you change the email address of your (current) login and use the old email for your (new) login? This is assuming that you want a completely new start. Username change requests are taken by Minai, myself, or any of the administrators - send a...

If you buy a ready-built computer, then you'll have warranty on the whole thing, if anything breaks. It's a package and the warranty covers everything. If you buy parts and build your own, then the warranty will vary from part to part. Most peripherals have a one year warranty (which is...

I like it! :) I love creative writing. It seems quite matrix-y which holds well with the topic. I have a few comments. Watch your tense - sometimes you almost fall into present tense and it's a little bit jarring. This sort of piece works fine in either, but make sure you stick to one...

You still want to be creative, not necessarily just recount what happened. :)

CompSoc sells Linux distributions (Debian, Fedora, etc.. ask!) but you'll have to organise a time that someone will be in the office (located next to the Student Office in K17). Email compsoc.linux@cse.unsw.edu.au or compsoc.exec@cse.unsw.edu.au). It's about $10 for a set of 3 (not sure -...

For people of our age, perhaps!

You don't actually have to write that much for documentation providing your code is clear enough. Fully identified authorship, usage and reference: if you've used other peoples' code eg. you've googled it Appropriate description of each function and important variable: explain briefly what...

Hey! WoW = $ and $ = time so I think it's a perfectly acceptable way to spend my time! Besides, it's the only way I can keep in contact with some of my REAL LIFE friends *cough*chuggy*cough*
