Sausages and onion with Apple pie for lunch. and lots of work before and after..

I am indifferent to them. Seems like people get a lot of joy out them. These usually lead into 'getting to know' that person better.

Actually Linux/GNU/unix has a whole bunch of (n)curses games. Actually there is a plugin for VLC that works with the console for video output. ASCII video is quite humorous. My first Linux install I had to wait for the X disk set to download (14.4K modem at that time). I had a text editor, irc-epic3, lynx, and a libsvga port of snes9x to kill the time.

To be fair it was a voice and fax modem.... isn't helpful in any way shape or form.

I don't need my computer to be an answering machine. lol

Changes made in this update:

• Changed how the PM displays. It will display a grey icon with 86% alpha when you have no new PMs.
• Added patch to disallow +1 of own thread
• Implemented a rarity system for sprites (Thanks to Epele)
• Fixed a line of code that prevented sprites 101+ from bring picked.

While we don't have the overly *yet* (it's planned) but at least we have it so it should be more obvious. (grey off, green got a PM)

Merged no self +1ing

say("I'm sorry 213-867-5309, but your princess is in another castle.");
*SMB1 death music*

Could have some fun with it. Per number filtering. "Denial of call!" time stuff.

*shrug*. My favorite phone trick is forwarding two lines into each other causing a loop on a dumb PBX.

Cloudy, a little rain this morning. However it is 48˚F so it's all good

I've never had issues going from one OS to another. (in fact it can be fun sometimes)

The first OSes I used where in the Atari 400 and the Commodore 64. IE: BASIC. (basically load save and goto 10 was about as much as I put into it. I wanted my Pac-Man damnit!)

I did get to my first true os until I got to school. There I used Apple IIGS GE/OS and System 6 on the Mac. GUI was just a neat thing back than.

I started on x86 with a 8086 and a 286. Both came with DOS, and neither had anything better than CGA. I had a hand full of games and apps my father got from work. I mostly played battle chess and mean 18, a golf game. Win 3.1 was out of the question, and I never got a hold of anything before that.

I didn't get my first real windows experience until we got a 75mhz Pentium computer. Windows 95 was so much better than what I had at home before. (I even got Windows version of Battle Chess). Once I hit IRC however I almost instantly was drawn into the Linux world. I didn't install it for a long time due to the computer bring shared, however once I got my first shell on which I ran the first variant of |NoLife|, and I was drooling over the FVWM2 screenshots of a friend's set. (yes I did.. he has had the best skin I ever did see for FVWM2)

Once I did install it I used it for everything, and than branched out on making my own alterations. I was running WindowMaker, and finally updated my kernel from the exploitable 2.0.30. After that we had a new computer so we used that for Windows stuff. When I got tired of having two computers I was able to convince my family to let me install my WinNT 5 beta. That got me until Windows 2000 was released. When I finally built a computer it was dual booting 2000 and Slackware, but I stuck with 2000 for school work and stuff and got lazy with it.

At this time I also had a Powerbook G4 and I spent most of my First year of College on it. It was running the first version of the commerical Mac OS X and it was unstable, and buggy, but so fun to mod

I went to XP when I built the second computer. I didn't install Linux for a while on it since the RO stuff started soon after.

When I built Midori it was in the height of tRO. I built it accordingly to be able to handle many different tasks at once. I bought one 120GB drive, and added every spare drive I had into it. It ran a very heavily hacked version of XP. I replaced all the logos and graphics (even the boot screen) with very anti-MS ones. When I left tRO I was able to run Linux again, and so I did for the whole time I used the Midori as a desktop. I switched to Gentoo Linux since it was the only one that had a viable amd64 distro at the time (that I liked anyway). The way you have to install it (at that time anyway) was to basically install everything manually. Everything is complied on the system with your specific tunings, and it while it would sometimes take an hour to install a package, it worked well. I was used to compiling everything by hand with slackware as well so a step up. I setup my usual modded WindowMaker theme, with OPENSTEP icons and such. I had to manually adjust glib2's themes on startup. It was hacked together, but it ran for MONTHS.

I switched to a iBook I got from my brother, and well since than my primary machine has been a Mac. I used that for about 5 months. Once the Intel Macs came out I bought one right away. I used that one for my main machine up until 2010.

The windows side of things, I bought a new desktop during the Summer of 2009 from someone at work. It was a gaming rig - Core 2 Quad, 6 GB RAM, SLi etc. This is what I use today. I wanted a machine I could play Windows games, and experiment with the new Windows 7 in the x64 flavor. I had Ubuntu install on it but I needed the space back for a project. I plan to install Linux Mint Debian in the near future when I get time. (IF I get time)

Hopefully that makes sense. I wrote it at work in between various tasks..


I am one of those people who try every OS they can get their hands on.
Some I've run but not as main include:

• FreeBSD
• NeXTStep
• OPENSTEP
• Rhapsody DR 2
• BeOS R4
• Open Solaris
• Vista
• QNX

Windows/DOS variants I've tried:

• DOS 3.3
• DOS 6
• FreeDOS
• Windows 95
• Windows 98 (SE)
• Windows NT 4
• Windows NT 5 B2 (Why do I set this aside? The best Windows experience I had was with NT5 B2)
• Windows 2000
• Windows XP
• Windows 7

I've used a small amount of Linux Distros but I was quite loyal to slack for years.

• Slackware
• Gentoo
• Ubuntu
• Mint Debian

My favorite OS is Mac OS X, as it's a UNIX powered OS that has support for commercial applications without a compatibility layer, and I feel in love with the NeXTStep interface before Apple even bought it. (My Favorite Windows Manager is still WindowMaker, however it's hates dual monitors and it's a little out of date)

• Mac OS X Server 1.2
• Mac OS X 10.0/1
• Mac OS X 10.4
• Mac OS X 10.5
• Mac OS X 10.6
• Mac OS X 10.7

What I use on a day to day basis is always a mix of OSes. I use Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux daily. Right now Linux the least only due to the fact I don't have it running as a host OS at the moment. I use two servers, and 1~2 VMs with it installed on a regular basis. I use Mac OS X the most, and Windows 7 is my windows of choice. I use the 64 bit versions of all of them as well. At work I use Windows 7 mostly, but I do have a mac there as well I use as well. (I'm just lazy sometimes to get it out of my laptop bag.)

To me at hope I treat all three OSes as one big computer. I use synergy to likn the Desktop keyboard and mouse to any physical machine I have. VMs are easier to work with when sharing resources as well. The only thing that sometimes slips up is hot keys if I am not paying attention.

On bloatware. When it comes to Windows, I always install from stock media. It just saves a lot of time on the bloat ware side, even when you add the driver hunting time in. It also really gives you a smoother base to start with.

On the Window XP front. I am bored with it. I have absolutely will not use it for any of my personal stuff if I can help it. I've used it far too long I think. It's an irrational reaction, but yeah. I don't use XP anymore. I do like Windows 7, it's the closed to me in personal experience than NT5 was. "Wow most everything works out of the box!" and I like the Aero theme. It' makes it easy to mix it up without hacking.

Long messed END**

In this case, the icon is meant to be an "at a glace" indicator for PMs, that doesn't take up as much space as wording may. This is how I see it anyway. You won't see much of anything else become 'icons'. I feel Menu Links should be words personally.

Now that this is done, until we implement GFX lib numerals this suggestion has been met.

Two slices of pizza, curly fries, and a muffin.

Hrm..

To fix it in the short term, use the "mark forum red" and/or "Mark all forums read". It will clear it.
This is already noted on the bug list..

Closing this. Why? Bad attitude for one. Two we can't support every browser anyway. You had every chance to mention this in the original thread. I might add without being a dick about it. I've noted this in the bug section on the todo list.

Really this topic has been satisfied. We have grey mail icon when no messages are to be had. So I am closing it on that recourse. I'm sure we'll have more discussions on the feature later, but for now this one is getting off topic.

The Grand Dip GreyMaria has an issue with the mail icon having a border in legacy FF3. Do we wish to fix it (border=0 may fix it)?

Also mention of the <base> tag was made.

15:15:24 Liliana | funnily enough
15:15:43 Liliana | <base> isn't filtered
15:15:46 Liliana | it isn't too bad here
15:15:53 Liliana | but on Jul you can steal the credentials that way.
15:16:03 Liliana |
15:16:34 Liliana | because the Submit reply button is affected too, and on the old 1.x acmlmboards it transfers your username and password.
5:16:35 Liliana | uh oh!
15:18:54 Liliana | so if you have it redirect to a php file which does a silent redirect but makes sure username/password are saved nobody will notice
15:20:22 Liliana | I gotta admit, the <base> tag is really underused so it isn't surprising that nobody noticed this horrible exploit



Maybe we should build a filter for it?
