You really know nothing, lol! When was the last time you replaced your "drive" inside your Android phone?
Re:Wine Ported to OpenBSD on Monday October 19, 2026 @11:40AM (#50153779)
how do you think they made this wine port lol?
It is interesting! But if the goal was just to run the game, the mentioned archive.org page says "Nachdem zum dumpen eine ccd verwendet wurde sollte der Kopierschutz auch keine Probleme machen.

Zum Einbinden dieser ccd File empfehle ich WinCD."

So if he just ran the game from the original CCD image file, then it would just have worked. No clue why he had to convert the CCD to a ISO file and loose the copy protection support.

You could try the patched Rosetta2 for Linux + Wine or something!

Asahi Lina = Marcan At the beginning this alter ego started out as a joke, which has gone way too far or serious now ;-) I don't get it personally, but it is not a bad thing.
Never seen that button. Speaks for the UI designer, that a comment about a function is more visible than the function itself ;-) Just kidding, I am a fault for not looking right!

Eweka + Newsoo block. But YMMV, I usually get older non-english stuff.

Check /r/usenet
I hope there will be a new series someday.

Looking forward for the reboot triology of the original movie though :)

You need to join closed indexers which index obfuscated files.

Usenet is so much superior to BT or the "new" OCHs.

Always fullspeed, no waiting times, no problems fetching ~10 year old files. (if your providers retention rate is high enough) And great automation.

Just config your setup once and then just open Kodi each day and check what is new :)

Well it is like that in Germany, and it worked the last few decades. Homeless people get free food and free shelter.

If the government should not provide anything, why should there be a government? You get taxed because the government provides something for you and the provided services need to get paid. I doubt you want to live in total anarchy without police, firemen or a working sewerage for example.

Re:A Step Forward in Parental Leave at Etsy on Wednesday March 16, 2016 @08:44AM (#11296806)
I think only very poor countries are overpopulated, because when there is no social security system and you can't save anything for yourself when you get old because you are poor, the only way is to get many children to hope that they will provide for you when you are old.

Rich countries which offer "free" (payed with taxes) social cares like Germany suffer from too many old people and too few children. So you have to offer more benefits for young families to get more children.

If you develop a social security net in poorer countries maybe families will start to get fewer children, because the state will care for you with no exception.

Re:A Step Forward in Parental Leave at Etsy on Wednesday March 16, 2016 @08:39AM (#11296778)
Why? I don't get it. Facilities like these (and health care, care for the old/jobless) benefit our society, why shouldn't you pay for them with tax money?

What else should tax money be used for then? Why is the US thinking that way?

Re:A Step Forward in Parental Leave at Etsy on Wednesday March 16, 2016 @04:45AM (#11295868)
It is similiar in Germany :-)

I am shocked that there isn't a nationwide policy for this in the US :-(

Re:Sources of ICQ desktop client by mail.ru on Tuesday March 15, 2016 @10:02AM (#11289652)
ICQ also was very popular in Europe. I still remember my ICQ uin, even after not using it anymore since the rise of facebook and whatsapp.

Sorry, I can't scroll on your site, I just keep jumping up again. (latest Firefox)

Also your information is really outdated, maybe you should add Windows 10 devices and add some pictures or screenshots?

Just call her or ask her before she leaves.

Women are allowed to call you too btw.

Re:How Following Others Will Leave You Broke on Thursday January 28, 2016 @02:48AM (#10986945)
Duh, you should live how you want to, not how others want you to live.

Also you should not date/marry a girl which only likes you if you drive a specific car A, live in neighboorhood B, earn C and maintain society status Z.

You should work on your social skills if you can only get your neighbours to like you if you drive the same car as them or earn more/thesame than them. If they really dislike you because you are poorer than them or drive an older yet safe car they aren't worth the effort.

This blog series is great! :-) Now i have an urge to code a Jump 'n' Run too :D
Re:The Sega Saturn and Transparency on Monday January 25, 2016 @03:36AM (#10966189)
This is why a Saturn emulator was thought to be impossible for a long time. I just looked around and there seem to be some Saturn emulators around, but I did not test them and do not know how good they work - does anybody know? :-)
Re:RemixOS is big on GPL violations on Wednesday January 20, 2016 @08:22AM (#10937838)
No, you don't have to publish the source code in public. You have to submit source code with your product to the customer, or a hint that the customer can request the source code if he wants to. This can be public, but it doesn't have to be public.
Re:RemixOS is big on GPL violations on Monday January 18, 2016 @05:53AM (#10923669)
Do you really need to ship the sourcecode with the product? I thought the GPL says you have to provide the source code if your customer wants it. But you need to always include a copy of the GPL i think.

Is Remix OS and the Android-x86 project somehow related? On android-x86.org they advertise the latest release of Remix OS in a friendly tone, but titled "Console OS" a scam which steals from Android-x86. So I guess Remix OS is somehow tolerated?

Quote from the article "In webpage “About” on the official website, I also can’t find information about Android-x86 fork."

They mention Android-x86 in the first paragraph on http://www.jide.com/en/remixos-for-pc

I don't know about the Unetbootin part, if that was done directly, but it seems to me there is no problem with the Android-x86 part?

Re:You Can’t Trust What You Read About Nutrition on Thursday January 07, 2016 @11:02AM (#10858646)
I counted my calories for a half year and successfully lost 14 kilos. But since I like to feel full and I enjoy eating I only ate foods with low calories/gram ratio. These foods are generell also healthy as well.

Calorie-couting definately works, you just have to be honest with yourself and count everything you eat and measure always exact.

I recommend you workout a bit while doing this though, I lost not only fat but muscle mass and my daily calories intake my body need went down about 400 calories.

I am a huge fan of Recalbox. You only need to write the image and it is ready, all emulator keys preconfigured :-) You can copy roms via a network share.

No Sonic? :-(
I doubt this is meant for single individuals instead of a company. I also doubt it is allowed without prior notice.
Yes, but what if his system suddenly decides to turn hard right for no reason while driving fast and he runs into another car, human, tree, whatever and he has no chance to react quickly enough? This is different to a PS3 crashing because he made some error.
