  1. Re:Will Slashdot comments be news next? on Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    You got it timster. But of course you probably remember when the articles on slashdot were actually interesting and technical. My question is why do I keep coming back to slashdot?

  2. Re:old news, but interesting facts on Apple's Colossal Disappointment? · · Score: 1

    Funny, I noticed there was no "Michael's Minute Meter" on the Apple editorial. Oversight or did he know what kind of response he'd get?

  3. Re:Will it stop a semi-serious pirate? on Longhorn to Require Monitor-Based DRM · · Score: 1

    Because those wires will be buried deep inside an ASIC.

  4. well....3 seconds on my mini on FireWire for 75% Better Mac mini Disk Performance · · Score: 1

    I know it's a troll, but for the record: 17 MB copy, 3 seconds...

    internal marble drop sounding 2.5" HDD.

  5. Audio Hijack for Windows on Yahoo Introduces Competitor for iTunes · · Score: 1

    There's this awesome program for OS X that lets you make MP3 files for any audio handled by the Mac (e.g. from iTunes, DVD player or any other source).

    Is it possible to write a pseudo audio driver for windows and capture the output in a digital form? If so then the music could be re-encoded in some other format (pick your favorite).

    I realize there would be a loss of quality in re-encoding the music but given that they claim to support 192 kbit WMA files perhaps this would be acceptable.

    And given the exandability of Yahoo's program why couldn't this be created as an add-in and automatically transcode the music (perhaps as it plays for the first time)?

    Any windows developers want to comment?

  6. Re:meh on The Future of Windows Graphic Technology · · Score: 1

    From the FWIW department the PCI-Express protocol allows hot-swapping of hardware. I have no idea if this will be used by graphics card vendors or by system software.

  7. Change of Topic: What happens w/ Adware on a mac? on The Cost of Computer Naivete · · Score: 1

    Are there any adware programs that can be loaded on a Mac the same way as on a PC using IE?

    What happens when a Mac user comes across all these adware/malware laden websites using IE? Do files get placed on the Mac?

  8. What is the actual bug? on Pentium IV Non-bus Master PCI Bug Lives · · Score: 1

    Does anybody know exactly what the bug really is? I've spent the last couple years of my life designing and verifying PCI interfaces so I'm kinda curious...
