  1. Re:My bro tried this on Linux as A Musician's OS? · · Score: 1

    MAudio Delta 44 works great. If you want more channels add in another one. Can pick these up brand new for around $300AU.

  2. Re:Preference... on Linux as A Musician's OS? · · Score: 1

    I've heard them all, of course the person who usually tells the joke couldn't play the drums to save their life.

  3. Re:RTFA on RIAA Claims Ownership of All Artist Royalties For Internet Radio · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'd like to point out that I'm not a US citizen, I don't live in the US, I've never been to the US and the US Govt cannot assign away anything that is mine to a US organisation. In fact I am going to change the copyright of my music to state that it is open to be copied, played (on any device), sampled provided the copyright is attributed EXCEPT by any agent, member or affiliate of the RIAA.

    I have a very strong dislike of this crowd, and they have absolutely no right to collect royalties on anything I produce or allow to be played by on an Internet radio station.

  4. Re:One word. on AACS Cracked Again · · Score: 1

    It amazes me that the hacks come after the patches. Well the hack coming before the patch would be a little difficult =oP
  5. Re:comcast on RIAA Wins Worst Company In America 2007 · · Score: 1

    Or you do some planning, and have some overlap between moving out of one place and into another.

  6. Re:I Would Have Signed Up... on Inside MySpace.com · · Score: 1

    The worst is overuse of transparency and flash. Brings a A64 X2 to it's knees.

  7. Re:oh boy on Space On a Shoestring · · Score: 2, Informative

    Imagine how much fear a group scare monger's can spread by twisting facts.

    Can you say http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_bomb ?

  8. It happens the world over on You Have Been 'Randomly' Selected? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Before a moved to Australia I visited with my family for a holiday. Every airport we went through within Australia I would always be "randomly" selected for bomb screening while the rest of my family (sister and parents) where never stopped once, of course the person doing the selecting would stress that it was "random" and not profiling.

  9. Re:It gets better on Network Card for Gamers - Uses Linux to Reduce Lag · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you read the artical you would see that they are not claiming they invented TCP offload, but adding support for UDP offload (as most games use UDP and not TCP).

    Although in saying that, I can't really see how this card is going to make much difference over the internet. Your connection or the configuration of your ISP is more likely to be where the lag is introduced rather than your NIC.

  10. Re:A day at work on Your Favorite Support Anecdote · · Score: 1

    You can just buy snap on covers that do exactly that. I used to use them on all my ethernet cables.

  11. Re:How do they even write these patches??? on Two Unofficial IE Patches Block Attacks · · Score: 1

    Having recently moved to Australia (from NZ), sorry but Aussie chicks are hotter. =oP

  12. Re:Who are they working for? on Major Telco Providers Form Open Source Alliance · · Score: 1

    Now if only Nokia would privide linux driver support (or at least technical documentation) for their USB sync cables. Being able to send text messages via a nokia phone from linux would be very handy.

  13. Re:Oh wowee on Maglev Elevators by 2008? · · Score: 1

    Of course how much faster can you go? If you go too fast suddenly you start getting very heavy/light (depending on direction).

  14. Re:Interesteing Problems on Microsoft Ends IE for Mac · · Score: 1

    Have you tried simply going to the contact us section of your banks website and politly telling them that there website doesn't work in a browser other than IE?

    I found the website of a local travel agent didn't work correctly in FireFox, I sent a polite email to the company and now it works perfectly.

    Complaining on /. without actually trying to get the problem resolved isn't going to solve anything.

  15. Re:Who's bloated and where? on OpenOffice Bloated? · · Score: 1

    This is very similar to the memory usage comparisons between Internet Explorer and Firefox. IE using native windows controls (and much of it's codebase intergrated into windows) and Firefox rendering it's own widgets, although K-Meleon (a browser that uses the gecko engine but with native windows controls) uses a simlar amount of memory as IE and loads just as fast.

  16. Re:Syncing on Nokia Announces Patent Support to the Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    I have to agree, I was very frustrated to find that I could not sync my Nokia phone on linux. The USB cable is not supported at all.

  17. Re:Not to be another spoilsport here... on Star Wars Sickout · · Score: 1

    Quote from one of the short stories was something along the lines of "The others tried to climb out, I made my own way out."

  18. Now this is what I've been waiting for... on Ophthalmologists, Physicists Design Bionic Eye · · Score: 1

    One of my eyes was damaged when I was around 18 months old. I wonder if this technology could be used to replace that eye with something that can actually see. Ideally your'd want the entire thing built into your head. The future is promising...

  19. Re:Hot Damn! on 8Mbit Broadband to Become Available in the UK · · Score: 1

    Well there is always Telstra.

    10Mbps downstream/1024kbps upstream
    10GB of monthly traffic

    $140NZD/month, pretty much the same price just smaller download cap.

  20. Seems like a bit of overkill on Fanless Media Center Box · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have used a VIA epia-m as a media center for a while now, has more than enough processing power to handle video decoding, has on board tv-out and sound and doesn't have any fans. Do you really need to use a processor that doubles as a heater to decode video or is that just to run windows. =o)
