  1. Re:Is their time up? (not for the squeemish) on North Korea Says It Has Conducted Nuclear Test · · Score: 1

    Does anyone want to believe Titor's prediction of China forcibly annexing the Koreas, Japan and Taiwan?

  2. Re:The Wiki article on High Temperature Bose-Einstein Condensation Observed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You could have tried the external links at the end of the page.

  3. gah! on IBM and Lenovo Recall Sony Batteries · · Score: 1

    I have 3 T43s and and 2 T42s. I swapped batteries between two laptops earlier this week and I can't remember which ones :(

  4. Re:Unfounded Criticism on iPods at War · · Score: 2, Informative

    Military justice is one of the very few examples of law which has extra territorial effect. This is a common feature in the military justice system in all countries. However soemtimes where a law has been breached on the soil of a host nation, service members might be subject to the laws of that host nation. It depends if there is an 'agreement' withthat host or not.

    Extra territorial effect is required becauce commanders need a tool to keep their members disciplined and obedient to the chain of command at all times. I know this because I am currently studying military law

  5. but but but on Bacterial DVD Holds 50TB · · Score: 1

    I have a obsessive compulsive disorder over germs (you insensitive clod).

  6. Re:See slashdot article... on Sending Mail to Hotmail Users? · · Score: 4, Funny
    Oh, I'm definitely NAL, but anyone that gets legal advice from a Slashdot needs about 100mg of Thorazine every 6 hours.

    So are you a doctor then? :P
  7. Re:Perhaps in 1955... on Hollywood Against Jobs' Movie Pricing Plan · · Score: 1

    If you want something authoratative, then try Oxford University's Oxford guide to style or the United States Government Printing Office's Style Manual 2000. The USGPO Sylem Manual is available online in PDF fomat here. Look at Chapter 8, units 8.3 through to 8.22 on apostrophe usage.

  8. Obligatory on Hawking Says Humans Must Go Into Space · · Score: 1

    I am not a human you insensitive clod!

  9. Re:Bottom Line on Critical Flaw Found in VNC 4.1 · · Score: 1

    Well I guess that answers my specific question as I use UltraVNC. Still it might be useful to know the answer. Whenever see VNC, I think the whole system, not individual clients so yeah story summary was a little misleading.

  10. encrypted wireless? on Critical Flaw Found in VNC 4.1 · · Score: 1

    I run VNC between two computers over a MAC filtered (yeah yeah I know...) and encrypted wireless connection, should I be (less) worried at all?

  11. I got myself one of these on Top 10 Geek Watches · · Score: 2, Informative

    Dr Aki Ross's watch from Final Fantasy: The spirits within. I ordered one as soon as I heard about them. It doesn't come with the doctor or the holographic stuff, but it sure is a conversation piece.

  12. I don't think that's appropriate for me on Why Don't You Sleep On It? · · Score: 1

    All my dreams are either way psychedelic, or of killing people or of having sex. There is no way these are going to help me make workplace decisions!

  13. Re:WinMX replaced .... on WinMX Suspends Operations · · Score: 1

    Both the English version of WinNY and Share can be downloaded here. I found this link from Wikipedia.

  14. Re:Then Stallman added... on Stallman Claims Linux Trademark Doesn't Matter · · Score: 2, Funny

    But I think Stallman might rather like Stalinix. Where this thread goes form here, only Godwin knows.

  15. Re:I found a rather obvious bug... on Moody Non-Photo-Realistic Driving · · Score: 1

    I presumed this programmer was American and though "why is he driving on the left?". Then I noticed all (baar one) of his turns were left and figured he was driving on an oval.

  16. The new trend on Miyamoto Says Wind Waker Was Boring · · Score: 1

    If slagging off old games is a new trend, then I am waiting for Hideo Kojima to apologise for Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty. Okay, the tanker part was foine (but too short), but the oil platform? WTF?

  17. Re:Zzzzzzz on Beginning Of the End For PC Noise · · Score: 1

    I have slight tinnitis. Most of the times it doesn't bother me unless I become conscious to it. Occassionally, when it is 'silent' I can still hear this high pitched continuous noise in my ears and is especially irritating at night when I try to sleep. This is where my computer comes in. The droning fans are loud enough for me to ignore the rinning in my ears and ease me to sleep.

  18. QUICKIES!!!!! on Massive Quickies · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Bring back QUICKIES!!!

    This is the first quickies I have seen for years.

  19. Re:New Car? on Star Wars Props Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    screw the Light Sabre, I want Gudnam's Beam Sabre, now that would have the equivalent costof several fully eqipped Rolls Royces

  20. Re:not all on Why Do We Have to Use a Floppy to Flash BIOS? · · Score: 1

    Not that I am aware of. I'd be shitted if it does. I email Gigabyte support and basically they told me I was SOL so I took my box into the local computer store and got a new mobo installed. I still can't get over how featureless my new motherboard is. The only noel thing about it for me is the gigabit lan, which doesn't really help me at all.

  21. Re:not all on Why Do We Have to Use a Floppy to Flash BIOS? · · Score: 1

    I just toasted my Gigabyte GA-8IK1100 by flashing BOTH BIOSes. When I flashed the main BIOS it, seemed to work so I flashed the backup BIOS as well but on reboot, nothing happened, not even the video BIOS would show.

    Perhaps I was just a dick with the motherboard. I guess the lesson learnt is even for dual BIOS motherboards, flash ONLY EVER UPGRADE ONE BIOS and just keep the upgrade for rainy days.

    What a damn shame, although it was the entry level 875P motherboard from their range, it was more bang for your buck than the crappy Asus P4P800 SE I got last week.

  22. Re:Yatta! The flash madness continues on All Your Base Are Turned Five · · Score: 1

    I think you need to visit 2ch to see some really whacky falsh movies. Of course, this made me laugh more than AYB ever did.

  23. Re:All Your Base Are Dull Now on All Your Base Are Turned Five · · Score: 1

    The 'Spoony Bard" reference makes return in Final Fantasy XI in one of the San d'Oria Quests. In the quest, you have to catch an Elvaan thief. If you talk to one of the guards at the West Gate(?) he'll make that reference.

  24. Re:Idea for new Slashdot section on Cringley Thinks Apple & Intel Are Merging · · Score: 2, Funny

    I believe the best Soviet Russia joke was one made sometime last year and was something like this:
    In Soviet Russia, you eat cannibals, uh i mean in Soviet Russia, cannibals eat you...ugh, forget about it

  25. Re:Poor guy... on HOW TO: Convert a Mac into an x86 · · Score: 1

    they write So some wise guy thought that the content on this site was slashdot worthy, submitted us, yet in the two stories posted linking to InventGeek. Did the site maintainer genuinely NOT submit the articles or is he just speaking inthe third person?
