  1. Re:HFS+ defrag source on Measuring Fragmentation in HFS+ · · Score: 1

    HFS+ has been around since OS 8.5 (?? somewhere in OS 8).

    HFS+ was introducted in Mac OS 8.1.

  2. Re:Wary of too much space? on iPod Mini Hits The 'Sweet Spot'? · · Score: 1

    Are they afraid that the extra space is going to be used by Apple to rip, encode, and store their soul?

    Time for a new advertising campaign, maybe..."Rip, mix, BURN IN HELL". :D

  3. Re:Benders? on Consumer Electronics Make Music · · Score: 1

    In fact, forget the festival!

  4. Re:Google Personalized Search on Google Updates Its Face · · Score: 1

    I tried going to the personalised search engine page, and got a message saying "Sorry, Google Personalized does not yet support Safari. (Setting your User-Agent to Mozilla may work)". WTF.

  5. Re:Damn, that's news on Extradition of Warez Suspect Blocked · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, see, Howard was so far up Bush's ass, they have to pull him out first. ;)

  6. Re:Leaked naming secrets from Intel on Intel Plans CPU Naming Change · · Score: 1

    Dude, you forgot the "Pentium XTREEM". ;)

  7. Re:OWL on RDF and OWL Are W3C Recommendations · · Score: 1

    Indeed, and RDF is actually "Reality Distortion Field". ;)

  8. Re:I think I speak for all of us.... on Neat Stuff In Sin City: CES 2004 · · Score: 1

    Hah. Only on Slashdot would a comment like this be rated "Insightful". ;)

  9. Re:wget on Linux-powered Mobile Cocktail Mixer · · Score: 1
    You could cd pub; more beer!

    (Yes, shamelessly stolen from that ThinkGeek t-shirt ;)).

  10. Re:I see a pattern emerging here... on SCO Madness Reigns Supreme · · Score: 1

    You forgot:

    8. ??
    9. PROFIT! ;)

  11. Proteus works too... on MSN Messenger Kickbans Third-Party IM Clients · · Score: 1

    Version 3.03, anyway. Can't speak for earlier versions.

  12. Re:You can be damn sure on Microsoft Offers A DRM Patch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Uh, no it won't. Under Mac OS X, all you need to use the iTunes Music Store is iTunes itself. There's no magical "DRM patch" that you need to use it, and I see no reason why iTunes for Windows won't be the same.

  13. Re:Ok, so let me get this straight. on Can You Raed Tihs? · · Score: 1

    They should just rename the internet the Itnerent

    Heh, I misread "Itnerent" as "incoherent" the first time I read that...rather appropriate. ;)

  14. Re:Fake Windows messages on Gator-style Overlay Ads Are Legal, Says Court · · Score: 1

    Christ, my mum came across one of those and clicked on it, despite the fact that she was running Mac OS X.

    I despair of her sometimes. ;)

  15. Re:Will they still be behind Intel ? on Apple to Announce the Power Mac G5 at WWDC? · · Score: 1

    Indeed, but you're much more likely to get a decent clockspeed with the PPC970 than the G4.

  16. Re:Marathon. on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Agreed 150%. The Marathon trilogy would probably be my all-time favourite games. The plot in them is absolutely top-notch.

    And the start of the second level of Marathon Evil (3rd-party scenario -- highly recommended if you haven't played it) FREAKED me out like nothing else. It's pretty well pitch-black, you turn a corner, and there's this extremely loud and very ferocious growling sound and a huge thing with glowing eyes, huge claws, and spiky bits everywhere leaps out at you. It scared me so much I jerked the mouse and ended up looking at like the floor or something...nearly got me killed. :) There were several other moments like that, but not nearly that bad. :)

  17. Re:Having actually tried it... on Apple Introduces iTunes Music Store, iTunes 4, new iPod · · Score: 1

    I'd definitely agree with the independent labels bit. There's basically /no/ music on there I'd want. (I'm into metal).

    If someone like Century Media got onboard, I'd be fucking stoked. Of course, the Music Store isn't available outside US, so the whole point is moot.

  18. Re:New Tactic on CDT Releases New Report on Origins of Spam · · Score: 1

    Which is exactly why I've set Mail.app to not display any HTML content.

    What'd be /really/ good however, is if Apple put in an option in the Rules section "Is HTML Mail". Thinking back, I don't think I've gotten a single e-mail that's been HTML mail that hasn't been spam.

  19. Heh... on Ron Rivest Suggests Probability-Based Micropayments · · Score: 1

    The first thing that sprang to mind when I read the title was the Infinite Improbability Drive from HHGttG. :)

  20. Re:Good interview on Cognitive Dissident: Interview with John Perry Barlow · · Score: 1
    Otherwise we are facing a grim future.

  21. Awesome on Casemodding Enterprise Hardware · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The green one especially...it looks like something from a Borg cube, especially when the door is open. :)

  22. Re:On OSX... on Do You Have The Time? · · Score: 1

    Erm, or you can simply open System Preferences > Date & Time > Network Time, type in the server address, and hit "Set Time Now". :)

  23. Re:Which MacOS? on Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure about OS9, but it's definitely going to be on OSX. They released a screenshot a while ago of it running in a window under Mac OS X.

  24. Re:There's another fully functional Battle.Net ser on Blizzard Rains on Bnetd Project · · Score: 1

    Version 1.09 of Starcraft/Brood War, which was released quite recently, has only 2 options for multiplayer now: TCP/IP and Battle.net.

    (No more having to use IPX if I want to play with PC users on a LAN :D).

    I haven't actually tried it, but it ought to work over the internet too, not just LANs.

  25. Re:Format? on X-Rays Of A TiBook's Interior · · Score: 1

    Hmm, well, Preview in OSX can't open it (and it can open just about anything)...
