    Stallman is using AC, I see.

  4. floppy... on Behind Menuet, an OS Written Entirely In Assembly · · Score: 1

    I was looking around for a floppy today because I wanted to make a boot disk, and I realised that, not only did I not have one, I also didn't know where I could get one, or even when the last time I've seen one was...

    Australia's success? They haven't turned it on yet.

  9. TFA on 20 Years of MS Word and Why It Should Die a Swift Death · · Score: 1
    The article is a huge turd, I thought that someone would have commented on this already, the Ars commenters were all over it.

    Oh wait, you can't tell from the summary. This is Slashdot, was I thinking?

  10. Re:sometimes secrecy is necessary on Apple and the Scalability of Secrecy · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Slow news day, huh?

  13. Re:But what about spam from "me"? on A Look At Google's Email Spam Prevention · · Score: 1

    As far as I know, gmail doesn't let you send emails to yourself- spam filter or not.

    Actually it does, I do this quite often with attached files to send files from one computer to another. Its faster than attaching it to a draft and saving it.

  14. Re:Pay Phones on The Technology of Neuromancer After 25 Years · · Score: 1

    As if a prediction is only correct if it doesn't miss a single detail. I have always seen Neuromancer as the perfect prediction of the future of technology.

    How can it be a perfect prediction if it misses details? The first sentence invalidates the second one.

    VR is one of them

    The 90s called... they want their.. agh, I can't even be bothered. VR is a perfect example. Its one of those things that seemed great until it became a reality, and then no-one gave a shit.

  15. Re:How the Copyright Lobby runs the Media on Study Deconstructs Canadian Copyright Lobby Deception · · Score: 1

    I saw that story too, and I have to say, the solution is pretty obvious: If the profits from bootleg DVDs being sold is funding terrorism, then we all need to do the right thing. As Australians we must hold our heads up high... and torrent the movies instead. Then how will they make their terrorism funding cash? Yeah! Aussie Aussie Aussie!

  16. Re:Competition on Firefox 3.5 Reviewed; Draws Praise For HTML5, Speed · · Score: 1

  20. Re:Old? on Getting Kicked Off The My Little Pony Forum · · Score: 1

    a pretty classic troll though

  21. Re:Authentic is the wrong word on The Deceptive Perfection of Auto-Tune · · Score: 1

    Ah, correction, writers are still making music.

    This is the problem. A good deal of music these days is written by some very talented individual behind the scenes. Thing is that people need a face to attribute all talent to. A pretty face. BTW, Antares Autotune is so 90s... its all about Melodyne these days.

  22. Re:Not as special a game as he thinks it is. on Looking Back At Far Cry 2 · · Score: 1

    I actually thought the original Far Cry was pretty average when I played it. After playing this one, however, somehow my opinion of the original has really gotten a lot better...

  23. game guide? on Looking Back At Far Cry 2 · · Score: 1

    they should instead be thinking about how to patch it so as to make it not so absolutely aggravating to play. no amount of explanation and hints can change the fact that this game is a dog.

    1GB? you mean 1TB right? my mind hurts trying to think back to when I had a 1GB hdd...

  25. Consumer Electronics... on DivX 7 Adds Support For Blu-ray Rips (H.264/MKV) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    While DivX is hardly the codec of choice for encoding MPEG-4 ASP for sharing online in .avi files, it has created a recognisable symbol and set of guidelines for various boxes, from DVD players to PVRs to games consoles, to make use of and to show they support this format. If this development means that new boxes like these add support for the Matroska container and H.264 as part of getting to put that little 'DivX Certified' logo on the front, then maybe that does actually mean something.
