    Old 64 meg stick

    Well it gave me a few problems when coupled with my 128 meg one. All games etc. played normally, but when I started up MPlayer Classic the system rebooted, and then went on and on.

    Speed Multiplication on Dial-Up? How's it possible?

    Well it happened to me the day-before around 3:15pm. My dial-up connexion (NetOne, BSNL) speed showed as being "115.2Kbps"! Usually, at the best of times it's 46.6 Kbps, and 45.2 otherwise (s'posed to be 56). My effective d'load speed was somewhat better too, long as I was connected. I've...

    Is there gonna be a Deus Ex 3

    Heard that Warren Spector had unofficially confirmed a DX3 in an interview after he left Ion Storm. But now that I.S's gone, is it still gonna happen - considering that the first two weren't exactly commercial successes? Any ideas? News? Links? :?

    BLC,GIMP, Firefox

    Brian Lara Cricket doesn't seem to work on XP. It never goes beyond the desktop, and it doesn't even show an error message. It worked fine on 98. So I tried running it in compatibility mode. But none of the different permutations and combinations I tried work. And guess what? The demo works...

    Scratching my head...I don't get it.
