  1. Wikipedia on Ask Slashdot: Most Efficient, Worthwhile Charity? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wikipedia might be a nice option too, the knowledge they provide to everyone free of charge makes it a good charity in my opinion.

  2. Re:DD-WRT works, but Linksys WRT54GS chokes 21 Mbp on Teach Your Router New Tricks With DD-WRT · · Score: 1

    The Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH works for me, with openwrt firmware that is. The default firmware is some kind of modified dd-wrt which has an awful "buffalo" interface and kept dropping packets. I tried dd-wrt as well but that gave the same problem with the choked bandwidth (in contrast with the buffalo firmware), the openwrt firmware is pretty easy to set up on this router and works perfectly for me, allowing the full use of my 120 mbit connection.

    And why do you think the bees are disappearing?

    The windows version runs fine under wine though.

  6. Re:I dunno man on Early Review of 11" Macbook Air · · Score: 4, Informative

    Toshiba does this, I got one with my NB-100 netbook without a cd/dvd drive.

    Same goes for me as well, damn alcohol.

  8. Re:Linux audio on Linux Kernel 2.6.31 Released · · Score: 1

    I know OSS4 provides this feature, but we were talking about ALSA ;)

  9. Re:Linux audio on Linux Kernel 2.6.31 Released · · Score: 1

    Pulseaudio is a bit strange, but nothing requires it's use, and IMHO there is no real reason for it to be used unless you want to do somewhat strange things (that you generally can't do on any other type of OS).

    Like per-application volume control that no other OS provides (except Windows Vista and higher, Mac OSX, etc)?

  10. Re:Don't use bootcamp, but I use Fusion on Windows Drains MacBook's Battery; Who's To Blame? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Except that Microsoft is not a PC vendor, and since you're running Windows on a Macbook you already have bought a license from then so why should they want to sabotage their own business ?

  11. Re:And... on Unusual Physics Engine Game Ported To Linux · · Score: 1

    I tried it quickly at some point, it worked for me with the linux-fc8 binary compatibility port, ymmv.

  12. Not recently ported on Unusual Physics Engine Game Ported To Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This Penumbra trilogy has been on Linux for a while, the first game ran on linux somewhere in 2007 iic, so it's definitely not recently ported... the only news here is that it's perhaps cheaper now, so it's a nice slashvertisement.

    That being said, these games are pretty cool if you like survival horror / adventure games.

  13. Re:By saying that he proves his former point on State of Sound Development On Linux Not So Sorry After All · · Score: 1

    Can't say I have ever had problems with latency using pulseaudio and ET:QW or Raine, so based on my experiences, no.

    It's funny cuz it's true

    My Documents? Don't be silly! Everything should just be placed on the desktop.

  16. Re:livecd? on PC-BSD 7.1 Released With Integrated Software Manager · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nobody is keeping you from adding the settings in xorg.conf, it just uses some defaults if they aren't there.

  17. Re:April Fool on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    I agree, I would never do that either.

  18. Re:I dunno about audible feedback.... on Old-School Keyboard Makes Comeback of Sorts · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Have to say, I really like my Logitech G15 v1, it's so much better compared to the orange looking v2 that has different keys which don't type nearly as well.
    Not to mention the LCD, which is great as well.

  19. Re:China is the real enemy on China's New Military Space Stations Coming Soon · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords.

  20. Re:Right hardware? on A Taste of FreeBSD With VirtualBSD · · Score: 1

    Well, there was a bug in the sata driver for my motherboard for FreeBSD 7, no idea if it's been fixed yet.. but it prevented me from trying it out a while ago. FreeBSD 6.2 worked fine though.

  21. Re:The solution.. on Obama Helicopter Security Breached By File Sharing · · Score: 1

    The ones I used in the past clearly had a list displayed the first time you started it, where you could select directories you wanted to share.

    The whole problem here are not these kinds of programs, but the idiots using them.

  22. Re:Probably another hacked website on Google Search Flagging Everything As Potentially Harmful · · Score: 1

    Yes, because getting hacked is so much more likely than someone screwing up with the malware flagging code.

    Chiropractic does have some benefits; it can provide temporary relief of some muscular tension, around the spine.

    That's called a massage.

  24. Re:Extensions are bad? on IE8 Beta Released To Public · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I also only use a few extensions, but as far as I know they haven't caused a single crash yet.

    Most of the crashes I experience are due to Flash, and even that doesn't come close to crashing 12 times a week.

  25. Re:Coke and Hoover? on Google To Be Sued in UK For Trademark-Linked Ads · · Score: 1

    But the question is, will a search for google, or googling have ads for other search engines?
