Winlin

This might help with development. I was on sf.net, and found WinLin. The winlin project is the open source linux emulator running in the user mode. It emulates linux system calls on a source code layer. It can be used to port linux programs under Windows.
You recompile the source code of the linux app with the winlin code. Looks interesting :).
P.S. It's not mine. I'm not good enough at code to do something like this.

Corrupt a Wish Game

(If we can get away with this . . .) :evil:

It's the corrupt a wish game. It's very simple. I make a wish, say, "I wish I could fly" and then you corrupt it- in the form of, "Wish Granted, but Corruption here".

So the corruption of my wish would be: "Wish Granted, but you're afraid of heights, so the power is worthless to you".

Then you make a wish.

I'll go first- I wish I had a 120 gb flash drive.

NSIS Menus?

I was looking around PortableFreeware and found some apps. They are very related. I was wondering if it were possible to make a launcher where it displays the splash then shows a menu of apps you can launch. Like a menu, but less dynamic. If this isn't possible, is it possible to embed an HTML Doc into a launcher? Thanks. Smile

recently for Christmas, i received an IBM Thinkpad T21. i had deleted a file i wanted so i preformed a file recovery and found an html file that looked like a page from here at PA.com. it was talking about portable Firefox and PA.com. the laptop came from my buddies up in Canada so that narrows it down, any of you guys get rid of one of these?

anybody happen to know what the safest CPU multiplier for the HP Pavillion 7905 is with a stock CPU cooler? it ranges from the pre-set 8X through 24X and i dont want to crank it up to 24x without knowing how hot it will get and if it will even function at that speed.

I think this is important, there is a new website called Get Out Of Our House

Its a fascinating way of trying to get people to run for office, who have no money, who might otherwise represent the majority view of our districts in the House of Representatives.
