  1. Yes, yes yes but... on Mac PVR Coming Soon · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    All I want to know is,

    Will it have one mouse button or two???

  2. Re:The UK on EBone/KPNQwest Network Shutting Down · · Score: 0

    Me thinks that JA.NET already has contingency plans in place.

    I would shudder to think that, the UK universities have been running for hundreds of years, and suddenly ONE company brings the whole infrastructure down!

    Some information here: http://www.ukerna.ac.uk/awareness/teleglobe.html

  3. Illegal without a license on Toshiba Bluetooth Portable Storage Device · · Score: 0

    That, of course, will be illegal in the UK without a license.

  4. Try compiling mozilla at home on A Walk Through the Gentoo Linux Install Process · · Score: 0

    ># ebuild will try do download required source from mirrors in GENTOO_MIRROR

    I was asking about... downloading from
    ftp://mirror.mozilla.org/pub/sources

    and COMPILING it, which would take 15 weeks on my pentium III.

    Ditto for X,KDE...

  5. if you type $emerge mozilla on A Walk Through the Gentoo Linux Install Process · · Score: 0

    does that means

    ... Gentoo will download the entire ftp.mozilla.org/pub/sources

    ... and compile it???

    God help us.

  6. This poster is a troll on Apache 2.0 Goes Gold! · · Score: 0

    There is no '++' at all in connection.c

    I checked it out.

  7. Bluetooth battery charger on Palm Bluetooth SDIO Card Available · · Score: 0

    But All I want for my palm is a Bluetooth(TM) charger!

  8. Re:Another use for it on Augmented Reality: Enhanced Perception · · Score: 0

    Oh yeah, that was in Crazy Taxi 2.
    It's real cool. Screenshot

  9. There is only one true package installer on OpenPKG 1.0 Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic
  10. What about Square? on Physics For Game Developers · · Score: 0

    I'd really really love to hear about the physics of FINAL FANTASY.

    Let's see --

    Cloud 70Kg.
    Big badass sword 40Kg.

    Height of jump 30 meters.

  11. Good thing... on The Mozilla 1.0 Definition · · Score: 0

    That slashdot decided to finally post something from mozillazine.org -- we're getting tired of the links from the site that this parodies!

  12. Huh? on MacHack Yields Clever Tricks With Apples · · Score: 1
    There were dozens more hacks shown, including Apple scripts that do wild and unnatural things to your icons and Palm OS hacks that make your Palm mimic a Mac desktop

    Pooh. That's nothing. I can make my Palm mimic a Unix desktop, or even <shudder> a Windows desktop! Link: here

  13. Funny really... on Web Standards Project: Upgrade, Or Miss Out · · Score: 1

    That www.webstandards.org attempts to convert the whole Internet (good luck) -- but then it itself 100% readable from trusty ole' Lynx

  14. New Name proposal on TurboLinux/LinuxCare Confirmed · · Score: 1
    Several names have been suggested:

    TurboCare - boring, unimaginative, and does not relate to the company

    TurboLinuxCare - that is way too long. New companies need a short snappy name

    I'd like to give my suggestion: Linux^2 -- not only does it follow the trends of SmithKLine Beecham or NeXT by using punctuation marks in the tradename, it accurately reflects both the name of the former 2 companies, AND the sole trade!

  15. And a complete fruit fly genome? on First Sequencing Of Plant Genome · · Score: 1
    Together with Celera maps Fruit Fly genome, what is the best guesstimate before biotech companies will create the fruit fly-fruit plant chimera?

    5 years? Can we expect banana plantations buzzing away towards the local refuse depot? And who'll be eating those bananas anyway?

    Or maybe we will have "fruit fly seed pots -- grow your own Drosophilia!" or so...

  16. Why Prodigy? on BT Sues Prodigy Over Hyperlink Patent · · Score: 1
    Dear BT,

    I am reading with interest your patent suit against the ISP named "Prodigy". I have not heard anything wrong against the abovenamed ISP, and I believe that the abovesaid ISP will sink in any legal action due to insufficient funds.

    I suggest another target for that patent infringement lawsuit: AOL. That way, you'd be sure of targetting a company with a substantial amount of money at hand (which will have a greater effect on the Internet) and you will be doing the world a great service.

    Thank you.

  17. Cool! on Inferno Plugin for IE - An OS In Your Browser · · Score: 1

    I wonder when Mozilla will be porter to Inferno!

  18. Re:extreme programming on "War Rooms" Double Software Productivity · · Score: 1
    Hey that is a really nice site.

    I bet Mozilla could use some of these techniques.

  19. Explain please... on Konqueror Ported To QT/Embedded · · Score: 1
    Sorry y'all I'm not very clued up about Linux issues

    Can somebody explain what it means really; what is the deal with QT or QT/Embedded vs X vs KDE?

    Thanks in advance.

  20. Why CNN? on Florida Election Votes Certified · · Score: 1
    Seriously, why choose CNN?

    ABC News and MSNBC both had the election results seconds after they came out, while CNN languished for years over the "Florida recount looms" front-page story.....
