    Downloader for X 2.5.0 final

    D4X is arguably the most advanced and complete download manager for *nix machines and MACOSX. It's name is somewhat deceptive, as it can work from commandline without X, while it's GUI depends on Glib (that last version requires Glib 2.4.0 or higher). It combines the power of Prozilla with the...

    How to beat Michael Schumacher

    I believe this used to be the title of a Philip K. Dikk scifi book, but if you cannot find the book, then it's easy: with a 10-yard stick! Using a car for that purpose, your chances are less than faint... especially if your cars engine blows (again...5th time in a row, what a coincidence!) at...

    Quick reply

    I don't know when this problem was introduced, but now the "quick reply" and the "reply with quote" button both point to the "reply with quote" php script- in short: quick reply doesn't work. Is it a bad Vbulletin hack?

    Firebird and Flash plugin

    This was bothering me for some time- since the introduction of Firebird 0.7... The Macromedia flash plugin is definitely NOT working with the XFT builds of Firebird for Linux. The reason should be the fonts that are installed by the macromedia flash installler (no problem with the non-XFT...
