    The Windows 7 Thread

    Both the beta and the RC gave me a BSOD on boot once I had two utilities installed: MacDrive and DAEMON-Tools. Either one of them separately it handled fine, but in combination (installed in either order, I tried a couple of times) it was invariably a blue screen. Maybe not a big deal to most...

    All right, I've got the formatting thingy prety much complete. A couple of notes: 1) Since Ming can only generate version 7 swf files, none of the functionality available with flash 8 as far as text is concerned can be done (like drop shadows). 2) Right now, I don't have colors in yet, all...

    @Endrondol Not from here, from the pvponline.com/Image forums. If you are interested in hosting it, that would be cool if you've got the bandwidth. Right now it's on my tiny box on a cable modem, so I'm sure it's not going to weather any sort of continued onslaught. The site is mostly php and...

    Specifically, I asked him what happened to Web You.0, why he wasn't able to monetize it, etc. In a nutshell, he told me during the panel that it took up too much of his time (which I can definitely sympathize with) and afterward that he would've liked it to be completely automated and...
