  1. slashdot is soooo dead on Play Random Sounds for E-Mail Notifications? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This is just too much :)

  2. Awareness on Dvorak on Creative Commons · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At least, having Creative Commons license included in a growing number of web apps makes it easier to find content with a license suitable to our use.

    Hadn't the selection of a license been included in these webapps (flickr, some bloggin software, etc) I really doubt the users would think about these matters, less pick a license for their content.

    It has made it simpler for the publisher and the "consumer".

    Quite different from what Dvorak says:

    "Creative Commons actually seems to be a dangerous system with almost zero benefits to the public, copyright holders..."

    Dvorak is definetly trolling there.

  3. Re:BBPS (GPLed, PHP & MySQL) on Suggestions for Browser Bookmark Management? · · Score: 1

    I'm from and live in Mty :)

  4. BBPS (GPLed, PHP & MySQL) on Suggestions for Browser Bookmark Management? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Around 2002 (or 2001) I wrote a PHP and MySQL bookmark managing app that also uses tags to store information.

    It's called BBPS and its GPLed.

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbps/

    You can see a demo of it on my website:

    http://edmz.org/bbps/

    If you like it, consider donating some code to the project instead of starting your own. I've been on other projects and haven't had the time to update it. (But don't worry, it works as it is)

  5. "Axalto", hehe.. on Bill Gates Proclaims End of Passwords · · Score: 1

    Depending on how you pronounce the "x" in your spanish speaking country but "Axalto" does sound a lot like "asalto" which in english means "robery". Nice.

  6. I've heard that before... on Lab creates brain made from rat cells · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...here

  7. Enhanced Carbon Emacs on Interview with SubEthaEdit Developer · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I recently switched to Mac OS X and gave bbedit a try (I also tried the top rated editors from Macupdate).

    I ended up forcing myself to finally learn to use emacs. It has been worth it.

    http://www.inf.unibz.it/~franconi/mac-emacs/

    Thought I mention it even though SubEthaEdit is pretty handy too.

  8. a list for OS X ? on First Ten Programs on New Install? · · Score: 1

    anyone ?

  9. so... ? on News at a Glance · · Score: 5, Insightful

    how is that any better than the pictures already at news.google.com ?

    Sorry, but it seems something that someone with good scripting abilities can do in a matter of hours.

  10. Very interesting on Build Your Own Saturn V · · Score: 4, Interesting
    I'm not much of a fan of rockets nor space flying history, but this quote from the saturn 5 page got me quite interested:
    The sound waves could easily pulverize a human's skeleton if he was unlucky enough to be within a mile of the launch pad. Even at further distances, the sound waves felt like someone was thumping on your chest with their fists.
  11. Already down... on TCP/IP over Bongo Drums · · Score: 1

    a new slashdotting record.

  12. the truth is... on The Quest For Frames Per Second In Games · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...the are trying to compensate for something.

  13. mhm on SQL: Visual QuickStart Guide · · Score: 2, Informative

    Barnes and Noble has it for $21.99 while Amazon has it for $15.39 (unless they have some kind of dinamic pricing and not everybody sees the same price).

    Plus, there is also MySQL: Visual QuickStart Guide.

  14. A little bit OT on Googling Your Way Into Hacking · · Score: 3, Informative

    Not the same kind of "hacks", but more than one might have missed that O'Reilly published recently Google Hacks. Mostly targeted to webmasters or "power users".

  15. That one and other recommended books on Solaris 9 For Dummies · · Score: 1
  16. Re:Screenshots on Ximian Evolution's New Clothes · · Score: 2, Informative

    seems to me that the ximian screenshots you point to are not for the mentioned beta 2, but rather current v1.x

  17. I have noticed this a lot with digital cameras on Has the Quality of Consumer Electronics Declined? · · Score: 1

    At least four persons that I personally know have had troubles with their camera less than two months after purchase. And since I'm deciding whether to buy one or not, I have been reading a lot of review sites (amazon, epinions, etc) and almost all of the cameras include one reviewers who had to return their camera back soon after buying them, something that doesnt seem as common as with other electronics, like a playstation or a dvd player.

  18. What should be changed.. on Slashdot is Moving. Help Load Test! · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ..is slashdots design. Its time, dont you think ?

  19. i think he misses the point on Are 99.9% of Websites Obsolete? · · Score: 1
    These sites may look and work all right in mainstream, desktop browsers whose names end in the numbers 4 or 5.
    Its not about pages not showing on some old browsers or some not popular ones. Its about using standards to achieve forward compatibility, to ensure a design can last longer, when new standards compliant browsers arrive, especially, those of cellphones, settop boxes, etc.
  20. open source program similar to LivePerson ? on The Return Of The Live Human Being · · Score: 1

    Is there such a thing ?

  23. ok, I hate cybersquating... on New Domains Delayed, Open to Corps. First · · Score: 1

    ...but what about people that couldnt get their apropriate TLD (com|org|net) ?? Now is (was?) their time to get something else, but thanks to the new registries, no, current owners get the first shot.

    If this is going to be the case, what is the use to have new TLDs if the same people that own the actual domains for their brand can have the new TLDs too ??

  24. Devshed just did an article on this... on Microsoft Access As A Client For Free Databases? · · Score: 5

    http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/MySQL/ODBC/
    "Learn it from start to finish. Installing MyODBC, creating a new data source through the ODBC Data Source Administrator, linking a MySQL database into a new MS Access database, and finally updating the MySQL database through an MS Access GUI."

    Enjoy
