quote "this is a game server"

Yes it is, so play some games.
You have been here for 2 weeks. In that time you have resigned 1 game after 0 moves, resigned a second game after 3 moves and are playing 1 game. In the same 2 weeks you have made over 60 posts. And most of them were to complain and let us know how we are doing everything wrong and how you could do it better.

I suggest you go play a few games and rethink your attitude for you will never meet a nicer bunch of people than the ones who play here.

Subjekt: Smiley Shortcut...........
From todays blog "An abnormal keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Alt-F12 invokes a smiley popup window, so you don't need to search a mouse while typing. But you have to use it anyway to click the smiley"

Ctrl-Alt-F12 brings up a window for Intel Extreme Graphics 2 (whatever that is)

And, for the record: Most of us here like the turn based nature of BrainKing, and we wouldn't be here if we were desparate for realtime chats. And our gaming experience is extraordinarily great. Thanks for caring.

Subjekt: For those who do not read the Fellowship Board
If you are into computers, well more to the point Firefox and have not read the brainking Fellowship Board, we now have:

The Firefox Fellowship

This Fellowship is here for uses on brainking to discuss anything at all about Firefox and other Mozilla products.
It will be kept up to date with all the latest happenings in the world of Firefox, the latest releases, new extensions & themes and any other information about it.

Also, for the member here, we can talk about any problems you may have, advice can be given or found out (via MozillaZine), advice on altering your about:config (Configuration Console) and hopefully creating your own Extension in the future (i am working on one now).

Oh, and as we are on brainking, we will have the odd few Tournaments

Come and join The Firefox Fellowship

1. Right-click on the icon you created and choose Properties > Shortcut
2. Click in the box that says Shortcut Key. The cursor will appear after the word None. Hold down the Key combination you want to use for the shortcut (e.g. CTRL - ALT - X). The shortcut will replace the word None
3. Click Apply and OK.

Windows will now shut instantly you use that key combination

rednaz23: iPod Video vs. iPod music player.

I guess the question would be do you want to watch video? I have iPod video which I won about a year ago from a local TV station - and in the year, other then just playing around to impress friends that I had it - only 1 time have I actually used it. (when driving 4 hours down to an amusment park, I loaded a few movies on it for my wife to watch) - other then that, it sits on my shelf collecting dust.

Now as for a music player - the question would be iPod (Nano) vs. other mp3 players.

Let me tell you - I HATE loading music on an iPod. Why? Because lets say I have 30 songs I want on my mp3 player. For the iPod, I first have to load there software. I then in the software, have to make a library and import the songs that I want in there - then I have to sync the library with the iPod. And on top of that, the iPod can only be "synced" with the main computer. That is if I help load some songs on a friends iPod, if they take it home to their computer, they will be unable to sync it without removing all the songs I first put on there. I'm sure there are some hacks and such to get around this, and I'm sure it is probable pretty friendly to first-time users who don't know much - but it's a pain for me.

Oh, and the process of adding the 30 songs to just about any other mp3 player. Open my computer, and click & drag the songs over to the mp3 player. All done. Nothing to load - nothing to sync - etc.....

I have 2 SanDisk MP3 players. A regular 1gig one that I gave to my wife, and another 1 gig one that also takes extra memory cards to hold more music. (So I can put certain types of songs on different memory cards to play them.)

Subjekt: Checkers is Solved

That's the title of an article in the current issue of Science, by Jonathan Schaeffer, Neil Burch, Yngvi Björnsson, et al, from the Department of Computing Science at the University of Alberta.



Article abstract:
The game of checkers has roughly 500 billion billion possible positions (5 x 1020). The task of solving the game, determining the final result in a game with no mistakes made by either player, is daunting. Since 1989, almost continuously, dozens of computers have been working on solving checkers, applying state-of-the-art artificial intelligence techniques to the proving process. This paper announces that checkers is now solved: perfect play by both sides leads to a draw. This is the most challenging popular game to be solved to date, roughly one million times more complex than Connect Four. Artificial intelligence technology has been used to generate strong heuristic-based game-playing programs, such as DEEP BLUE for chess. Solving a game takes this to the next level, by replacing the heuristics with perfection.

Subjekt: I found this story quite unnerving
An alarming white paper concludes that the Apple iPhone contains a backdoor spyware module that allows hackers or the government to conduct secret surveillance of the user, part of an established trend of corporations and the state working hand in hand to eavesdrop on citizens via widely-used software and hardware products.

Earlier this week, a technology group in Russia released the results of their attempts to reverse engineer the iPhone, concluding that the product has "A built-in function which sends all data from an iPhone to a specified web-server. Contacts from a phonebook, SMS, recent calls, history of Safari browser - all your personal information can be stolen."

The module could act as a backdoor for trojan developers or AT & T, said the report, adding that "government structures" would have access to the information.

Since AT & T displayed no hesitation in handing over information about their subscribers to the U.S. government as part of the controversial and illegal NSA wiretapping scandal , it would be no surprise to learn that included in the trendy new must-have gadget is a spyware module that allows the government to listen in to your conversations.

AT & T were chosen by Apple as the exclusive service provider for the iPhone, at present all other cellphone companies are blocked from offering any kind of service compatible with the iPhone.

The revelation is also not without precedent - a plethora of companies now include backdoor access in both software and hardware products that allow the state to step in and conduct warrantless covert surveillance, a blanket violation of the 4th Amendment.

Digital cable TV boxes, such as Scientific Atlanta, have had secret in-built microphones inside them since their inception in the 1990's and these originally dormant devices were planned to be activated when the invasive advertising revolution arrived - 2006 marked that date.

............has my Firefox started running so slowly ?
It is taking between 30 & 40 seconds to load a page. I know Firefox uses a lot of RAM, but this is getting crazy. It just seems to stop when loading a page and i get the dreaded (Not Responding) at the top of the page.
I have no clue whats causing, it. I have tried cleaning old files etc... out (but i do that every day anyway), but no effect. There is plenty of room on my hard drive and i have nothing else running.
The WORSE thing is that I.E. is fast as hell, when i just run it.
Its just Firefox, when ever i run anything else this system is fast as anything.
Anyone any ideas why it is on go slow ???

Subjekt: Quicker IE7 Page Loading

I hope this might help someone...


One thing that's helped my BrainKing page loading:  preventing 400 or so smiley files from having to be re-downloaded from nearly every page I visit here.


In IE7:  Tools --> Internet Options --> General --> Browsing History --> Settings --> Check for newer versions of stored pages


If "Every time I visit the webpage" is currently checked on your system, you might want to consider changing that to: "Every time I start Internet Explorer".


I suppose it's possible that something similar could help users of other browsers.


I suppose it's also possible that I'm just an idiot...and no one else would ever set up their browser the way I did!

in fact, ive got no idea why this may happen, except firefox being damaged in certain way (probably by using it too frequently, it simply wants to retire in honour), but obviously there are no system- or hardware-problems on your CPU (why should IE run that quickly if you had some...) and as it seems to be a firefox-problem i would recommend to deinstall and reinstall, maybe even an older version of firefox.
