  1. Re:Hearing aids have been discussed before on Ask Slashdot: Hearing Aids That Directly Connect To Smart Phones? · · Score: 1

    I'd always thought it was just me - when I try to explain it to most people they just look confused.
    Having never tried hearing aids, I'd guess they wouldn't necessarily help much though?

  2. Re:Fake uploads on Indie Devs Upload Their Own Game To The Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    YES!

    Though, maybe only every 20-30 seconds. Bonus points if it fits well with the music too. I guess that the negative stigma attached has probably discouraged many potential Pirate Remixes over the years, and it's time for that to change.

  3. Re:rememberance day on Minecraft To Officially Launch 11/11/11 · · Score: 1

    Thankyou.

  4. Re:I've got mine on Happy Towel Day · · Score: 1

    I'm in the Computer Science labs at my uni now, and I'm surprised how few other people have one.
    Have had some recognition though, so I guess there's still hope.

  5. Full Version on Algebra In Wonderland · · Score: 5, Informative

    For those interested, the full version of this article originally comes from the New Scientist, just before Christmas. The NYTimes version is shortened and split onto two pages.
    Just sayin'

  6. Re:OpenGL and the rant about marketing on Why You Should Use OpenGL and Not DirectX · · Score: 1

    As noted in TFA, Blizzard releases all their games simultaneously for Windows & Mac. It doesn't appear to have hurt them yet...

  7. Re:Toolbar the official spyware from good guys. on Mozilla Exec Urges Switch From Google To Bing · · Score: 1

    Actually, there's a rather useful plugin called glims which allows you to change the search box engine, among other things. I found it useful, anyway.

  8. Re:We Know Best on Snow Leopard Snubs Document Creator Codes · · Score: 1

    To make this easier, you can put applications into the finder toolbar. For example, I have textedit sitting up there for when I want to force a document to open in that rather than, say, Safari for .html files.

  9. Re:"Catching up" is the key phrase on Apple To Face Challenge At WWDC · · Score: 1

    Obligatory xkcd: http://xkcd.com/125/

  10. Re:of course! on Slashdot Mentioned In Virginia Terrorism Report · · Score: 1

    Where's it gonna gestate? In a box !?

  11. Re:Posting in the april fools article on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    and did it?

  12. Re:Simplicity on Update — No DRM In New iPod Shuffle · · Score: 1

    Then buy a second-gen Shuffle, they're still being sold. No-one is forcing you to get the new one, you know...

  13. Re:History on Safari 4 Released, Claimed "30 Times Faster Than IE7" · · Score: 1

    Safari has had Private Browsing for ages. I'm not hot on my browser history, but I believe it was one of, if not the, first to do this. (correct me if I'm wrong)

  14. Wolfire on Brave New World of Open-Source Game Design · · Score: 1

    Since I haven't seen it mentioned yet, and it seems to fit the topic:
    (though I haven't RTFA, where do you think we are...?) Overgrowth
    I've been following the blog for a while, because of the developer videos they used to do, and they seem to be a very open development team. The articles they do almost daily are detailed and informative, especially to those like me that have an interest in game development, and I'm gonna stop now because I've realised I'm gushing :P

  15. Re:Not only that, but... on Gaming Netflix Ratings? · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's been out in the UK too, since I think mid-December. Not surprising that it should have at least some reviews already then...

  16. Re:Security Theatre on Blizzard Introduces One-Time Password Devices For WoW · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm not security unconscious either, but my account was compromised. When you have no control over what other uses the computer you play on is put, that's when you run into problems

  17. Re:pvp in mmorpg's is fundamentally flawed. on Player-vs-Player Systems Examined · · Score: 1

    Sure sounds a lot like skill/knowledge to me... Should the game be so dumbed down that a newb has an equal chance to beat a pro on any match-up? I don't think any pvp games do that...

  18. Re:It's really the company's decision on Getting Rid of Staff With High Access? · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Completely unaware of the fact that I was about to be laid off," - He didn't know, seems it was an honest mistake...

  19. Re:Mass Hysteria on Line Forms At Apple's Always-Open Manhattan Cube · · Score: 2

    Yeah, sorry. Gonna have to prove you wrong on that one...
