  1. Where is Dune II in this list? on The World Video Game Hall of Fame 2017 Inductees (polygon.com) · · Score: 0

    Where is Dune II from Westwood Studios? "It was with the release of Dune II from Westwood Studios (1992) that real-time strategy became recognized as a distinct genre of video games".

  2. Re:This is slashdot? on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    BlackBerry browser also can't handle this sidebar correctly. And the site is noticeably slower to display now...

  3. Locate soldiers by their radio emissions? on Work Progressing on Army's Future Combat Systems · · Score: 1

    I just wonder how easy the enemy can pinpoint the soldiers now by monitoring the radio emissions from their new communications hardware? Try writing software for it that understands it has to "shut up" at certain critical moments, and not just go calling out to base with information requests...

  4. Re:Too slow. on Failed Win XP Upgrade Wipes Out UK Government Agency · · Score: 1

    Why is being able to roll out an XP update to a windows 2000 PC a good thing? Microsoft should have made sure that was never possible! Imvho the flaw is also in Microsofts update mechanism.

  5. Re:anadtech is my fav site for reviews on Athlon 64 3400+ Reviewed · · Score: 4, Informative

    Why not go straight to the one-page printable version?

  6. Media players should stick to playing media files on 75% of Network Connections Not From Browsers · · Score: 1
    Internet Application - Unique Audience - Active User Reach (000) %
    Windows Media Player - 48,159 - 34.43%
    RealOne/RealPlayer - 27,648 - 19.76%

    I do not know whether to cry or laugh when I see that two media players are the no.1 and no.3 program to access the internet most. They are meant to play simple video and audio files, not display the latest news, advertisements and god knows what from MS and RealNetworks!! Dont make me believe all these connections are streamed media files. ;-(

  7. Re:Harassment on Oops, Dave Barry Does It Again · · Score: 1
    "They don't want to interrupt your dinner. If they could catch you at your most inconvenient time, they would. In fact, if they could tell without having to call that you were not interested, they would not make the call."

    Right, and why again was the Do Not Call Registry set up? Seems to me a clear sign that people are not interested!

    Well, I guess we now have to broaden the definition of the "Slashdot Effect", wouldnt we? ;-)
