Re: [eug-lug]breaking Windows, add too much RAM

2003-07-28 Thread Mr O
Actually 98 ME will crash more frequently over 512MB. In order to use more than that you need to find the patch M$ released some time back. If you have that much RAM in a 98/ME box to begin with you're using the wrong OS. :) Sorry, I'm no M$ Certified Tech Monkey. Mr O. --- Rodney Mishima

As I was killing Windows today I discovered something I failed to mention earlier. I was trying to get a hotmail address to run Messenger so there was more crap on the system. One little problem, you can't use the word spam in any shape or form in an email address. They just don't allow it. Even

Hmm Limewire will hoze your ram pretty bad... Distributed networking is really cool, but it destableizes computers pretty badly, and limewire is mostly if not all java, it makes systems pretty unstable too... with 512 megs ram, it should run quite a while though. Id setup a firewall on it, and

Insidious Mr. O, will plug-in screensavers help? I think there's a ton of shareware crap at downloads.com, IIRC... have you googled any groups on inefficient software or the like? Maybe my idea of seeking out poorly-written, problematic versions of software is cheating? ( = BB PS - remember

I thought my eyes were going bad -- some text on web pages in Mozilla looks weirdly colored. But I magnified the pixels w/ xmag, and Mozilla is coloring my text. It's very weird. I've attached a PNG image to this message. I haven't seen it in other apps, but most apps don't antialias text, at

I've never seen that. Which version of Mozilla? THe only thing I can think of is to traverse to your mozilla directory and cd into defaults/pref/. Find unix.js and open it up. In there you've got some font preferences you can play with. See if freetype2 is enabled: // TrueType

Generally I agree, but if you use the term spam loosely, as in legitimate lists you got signed up for by signing up for a service or making a purchase, of course -- these are not the emails targetted by the spam filters, although if you are active in sign-ups and such, say free offers, then you

As tempting as it is to get those free worms I don't know if Yahoo or Hotmail would try and clean them out before I got them. It could be worth a try though. I did get a lake screensaver that came with extra crap. That helped :) Now the machine is just folding away. I might be done with that
