Hmm... I've read a post on my Linux forum that suggests installing an FF4 nightly may have broken their Thunderbird 3 installation, so maybe I'll wait, too (I need my TB3 to work, darn it  ).Now, if I could just figure out why Gecko-based browsers seem insistent on auto-scrolling through the bookmarks for me... (I usually keep bookmark folders, with a large number of bookmarks, on the personal toolbars. Often, when I start looking through the bookmarks in those folders, it'll start quickly auto-scrolling back to the top of the folder, for some reason, unless I mouseover the down-arrow. It's happened to me on both Mozilla Suite/Seamonkey and Firefox, on Windows and Linux (I think it also happened to me with both browsers on OS X, but I'm not sure.) Annoying, yes.) |

Would we consider this to be the top page? http://www.ca.sakura.ne.jp/~sakura/babobi/ Note that the text above is taken a little out of context, so that last line about the bike may change a tiny bit:
...to "(My/this) bike (sure/really) is fast!!"  |

| It's often a good idea to back up your Firefox profile every so often, anyway (even if you're not testing nightlies/betas). For example, there's always a chance an extension can screw something up. I used to just regularly back up my bookmarks, history and password files, until FF3 changed the profile directory structure. |

Originally posted by Imajin It supposedly happens on Vista, too - mainly if you right-click on an image and use the context menu option to set it as the background, I believe (which also apparently adds it to Windows' picture gallery). I haven't tried it - I usually view images in IrfanView before I decide to set anything as my wallpaper image (and maybe do the occasional preprocessing, too), so I'll use IV's wallpaper functions. Originally posted by Joe Bleah. Well, I do have to rely on Unicode, so I guess that's out, for now. Not that I really had any plans to upgrade to Win7 anytime soon... ...though, are there any sort of workarounds? My sister's probably going to get a new desktop system in the near future, and I may end up having to try to deal with it. |

Sure. Your version is geared more toward bikes in general. The author could've been referring just to a specific bike.  We should likely go ahead leave out the names above the title, right? |

| Joy. Another round of spambots. Should the Recent Changes and Deletion Log pages be edited to remove the spam URLs, if they appear close enough to the top of a page to be picked up by the "content was:" line (as was the case with 'JodieDudley2'?) Even if it's not complete, it's probably still enough of a URL for the search engines to register, and thereby accomplish part of the spammers' goals.  |

I'm not sure about that. Given the context - Eiji already described his car (model number, serial?), with an additional comment (that you translated above), and did the same for his motorcycle - I thought it was reasonable to assume he's probably bragging about his motorcycle, somewhat like his comment about the car. Here's the entire message, copied from the above-linked page for anyone who didn't feel like following the link.
Actually, using the names or not is probably rabidabid's call.

| Can we do the 'agree to disagree' thing, then? It's informal speaking/writing, though. I've known native speakers who 'simplify' (=drop words/particles) down to levels like that while speaking informally, even while gesturing to a specific object. And, I see examples of it every now and then in the media (yes, admittedly manga/animation; I don't watch regular Japanese television shows all that often, mostly because the digital TV transition essentially took away the only Japanese-programming channel I could pick up.  ). It probably depends upon the speaker. |

| Yeah, that's why I mentioned the 'agree to disagree' part; I certainly don't consider myself any sort of expert in Japanese, and if rabidabid does post the message with translation on TCRF, whatever translation rabidabid chooses to include, I won't complain. |

| I know someone tried to implement something like that, a while back, but the changes/new categories were soon removed. I don't remember what was said about it at the time, though. Does Nestopia even have a screenshot feature? I'll admit I've only been using the 1.4.0 Linux version, but there's no mention of a screenshot feature anywhere in the documentation, on the website, or even in the keybinding files.  Just curious, really - I've had to take screenshots in Mednafen, instead. (Not for TCRF, though, but a different project.) |

| Yeah, I've seen that, though it has seemed a bit better for me in the past 2-3 days. Usually, I'd only be able to get to the main page and check the Recent Changes page, but not much else - if it connected, that is. |

| It surprised me we've had so many, recently, though. Usually, they just seem to run in groups of three, and then lay low for a short period of time. Do the 'groups' all post from the same IP, roughly? (I've wondered if zombie spambots post to blogs and wikis (etc.) for a while now, as well...) |

They're not remakes, they're just slight retellings.  Really, they're mostly just edited rereleases; they know there are fans out there that'll buy the releases, so...  Disney does something similar, though they don't alter the content of their movies as much - they'll just pull the old movies from the vault, re-master them for the new media of the day, and loose them onto the market for a limited time. |

| It's been normal for me, the past handful of days, for the most part... so any testing I'd do probably wouldn't be worth much. |

| I don't know... I'd be for the idea if it definitely does deter the spammers/bots (including the current flood of idiots, of course), even considering I do somewhat like the idea that you can just sign up and start editing right away. But, I do know that the spammers and/or bots are willing to wait. I encountered one recently, elsewhere, that waited eight months after they'd created a user account to make their one-and-only spam post. |

| Same here. Anyone else like the idea of testing a 3-5 minute delay (or more)? I'd definitely like to see if it helps. |

| Maybe they'd considered it (yeah, I know - reaching speculation) as one of those generic 'girl character' routines where Roll would be just a red palette swap of Rockman/Megaman. Heck, for all I know, that could've somehow led to Protoman. |

| Well, as far as I've heard, they're still committed to continuing... except nobody's mentioned how in the world they're going to do it. |

| (continuing the discussion from the TCRF talk page for Solitaire. Originally had the link here, but the board kept eating it. Oh, and the 'free time' I mentioned? Never found it. ) Okay, with the help of all my systems, plus our Win3 and Win95 install discs, and crashed WinME OEM HD, here's all the versions I've tested: Win 3.1 - 16-bit Win95 - 16-bit? Win98 - 16-bit? WinME - 16-bit? WinXP - 32-bit Vista - 32-bit Vista - 64-bit I don't have the NT/2K versions (I do have a sealed (never opened) NT4 setup package, but I didn't think I should open it just for Solitaire ), and, of course, Win7's version. (No, I'm not looking for them; if anyone else has NT/2K/7 and wants to test their versions of Solitaire, be my guest.)The Win3 and 9X/ME versions appear to be roughly the same, possibly simply recompiled for each new version of Windows. 95, 98 and ME are all ~168kb; Win3's version is ~177kb, but that might be primarily due to the larger stub Windows programs had in the Win3 days. They also might all be 16-bit EXEs, so my resource-examining programs generally don't want to read them. (I tried eXescope, as was once recommended by Resource Hacker's author, but it didn't seem as comprehensive as Resource Hacker, or allow you to check as much. I'll experiment with it a bit more, though - but is there anything else that'll let you check/edit the resources of Win16 programs?) The "Unable to load bitmap; do you want to use a green background?" message exists in all versions from the Win3 version to the XP version. Considering the XP version changes/adds a number of things (like the Alt+Shift+2 cheat, apparently), and does not remove the bitmap/background message, it's probably an undocumented feature. (Activated by command-line, INI file or registry entry? I tried renaming a .bmp file (clouds.bmp, from 98) to SOL.BMP and placing it in the same director(ies) as the Win3 > 98 versions, but that yielded no results.) The Win3 > XP versions all contain the "Wes Cherry" author credit; Vista's (and therefore likely Win7) version is most likely a complete rewrite of the game. I didn't notice anything unusual, offhand, in the text from the Vista versions. I've run all the EXEs through strings, piping each to a text file. Is there a way to get strings to recognize those messages that have nulls between each character? Also, Resource Hacker loads both the 32-bit and 64-bit Vista versions, but doesn't seem to do much with them... did the EXE format change at all for Vista/7, or is RH's support for Vista executables just minimal? |

| Joe: Yeah, that worked. Thanks! (I'd have checked the basic help, but I didn't know that was how UTF-16-in-an-EXE looked.) Now, I've got an extra string-dump for the XP and Vista versions. I suppose I could zip them and post them somewhere... but I don't know where, really. Dropbox/Stashbox? I don't have a file-share site account, and don't really feel like using Rapidshare/Mediafire, so... Prince Kassad: Yeah, I'd had the Microsoft-was-lazy impression from just looking at the EXEs, too... in fact, originally, I'd wondered if they'd just patched the EXE with new version numbers for each 9X/ME release. I can't remember - did they have Solitaire in one of their Entertainment Packs, or even Plus versions? |
