  1. Mac version on Spore Hands-On Preview · · Score: 1

    Is the mac version native to mac, or is it just one of those releases with wine packaged with it? I ask because I remember a game that was going to be released for mac that was just windows version with wine, but I can't remember what game that was.

  2. Awesome! on Australia's Geekiest Man · · Score: 1

    I've always wanted to do that sort of thing (less the RFID tag)! Unfortunately I lack the money :(

  3. Re:been playing with it on Open Source Speech Recognition · · Score: 1

    I think it's just not a very good recognition engine or it's only made for the American accent. It can't figure out my New Zealand accent either. I keep wanting it to tell me a joke, but I can only sometimes get it to understand "Who's there?".

  4. Re:Road rage much? on 14-Year-Old Turns Tram System Into Personal Train Set · · Score: 1

    When I was going for my full drivers licence, I was told before we started the test that I was allowed to go over 50km/h (the speed limit) if the rest of the traffic was going faster, as I could be marked down for slowing down traffic otherwise. So I passed the test even though I was legally speeding (55-57km/h) :-D

  5. Re:Huh? on How Would You Design Your Dream Office? · · Score: 2, Funny

    He should have said from the ground DOWN? Everyone knows IT guys get the basement.

  6. Answer on Whose Laws Apply On the ISS? · · Score: 1

    Nobody's!!! Har te har har har!

  7. What they should do... on Transform Cellphones Into a CCTV Swarm · · Score: 1

    What someone should do is get mobile phones with cameras and bluetooth and when they're in a group surrounding some event, they make a 3d model that can be later downloaded onto the computer, so the viewer can change angle whenever they want. Much more interesting than surveillance!

  8. Re:The probem with these types of books is that... on The Official Ubuntu Book · · Score: 1

    I've got old fat "Redhat Linux Unleashed" and "Using Linux" books and most of the stuff in them are still fairly relevant, as most of it is about using the console, not the GUI. I still use them occasionally too, as some of the stuff in there is hard to find on the web.

  9. Re:MyFaceYouBook on Microsoft to Pay $240 Million for Stake in Facebook · · Score: 1

    Where I am, MySpace isn't even that big, almost everyone I know has a Bebo account

  10. Re:hmmm on Retailer Refuses Hardware Repair Due To Linux · · Score: 1

    I bought a Dell 3 years ago. When I asked whether installing Linux would void my warranty, they said "No, it's your computer, you can do what you want with the software"

  11. Example on Silverlight site on Silverlight Released, Linux Version Coming · · Score: 1

    Wow, that example on microsoft.com/silverlight (after silverlight has been installed) is REALLY badly made and doesn't work as you'd expect it to! The video had to be in exactly the right place in the circle before it would open a video window when I clicked it.

  12. Re:Nice try, but... on Winnie Wrote a Math Book · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that there really is the "jocks" and "nerds" thing in American schools? I don't live in the U.S. and always thought that it was just something that American TV programmes made up, because it seemed so silly!

  13. Re:No phone number! on $150 Linux Laptop for the Masses · · Score: 1

    After reading other people's posts, maybe not.

  14. Re:No phone number! on $150 Linux Laptop for the Masses · · Score: 1

    If you look at the Medison site there is a physical address on the contact page, so that makes them look slightly more legit :)

  15. Re:All the security is for nothing on US Expands Airport Biometric Data Collection · · Score: 1

    When I go through anything where I *could* be falsely accused, I look and feel really nervous. I wouldn't trust myself to stay calm going through US customs :-P

  16. Re:Rather get one of the scion models or even a ya on Smart Car Coming To the US In Jan. 2008 · · Score: 1

    Speaking as someone who's not American, I think the car looks super cool and I want one... except I'm a student so I have no money :(

  17. Re:What's the problem? on Judge Orders TorrentSpy to Turn Over RAM · · Score: 1

    Crazy! I watched that very episode just a few hours ago! I liked it :)

  18. Re:how long on Nintendo Wii Homebrew Contest 2007 · · Score: 1

    I didn't have to wait. Wiis are in stock in most places around where I live (I live in New Zealand) so I just walked in and asked for one :-D

  19. Re:The first computer I owned on The Apple II At 30 · · Score: 1

    Ah, I see why I thought it was ][. The startup screen uses them, not // :)

  20. Re:The first computer I owned on The Apple II At 30 · · Score: 1

    The first computer I used, when I was about 3-4, was an Apple ][e, and I still have it, although the keyboard no longer works. I remember every time I set one up (we had a few), I managed to hurt my hand while opening the base. The Apple ][e sparked my interest in computers, and I thank Apple for making a computer that a 3 year old could use :)
