  1. Re:Ironic Considering the Patent Today on What is the Best Way to Handle a GPL Violation? · · Score: 1

    Good point. I don't code in Java, but I'm sure some of those things are only several lines.

    But actually, now that I look at it, it is a lot of lines, but a whole lot of it is unnecessary.

  2. Re:What about O.G.G.? on Warp Records Reject DRM, Go Bleep · · Score: 1

    What about M.P.3. or F.L.A.C.?

  3. mute on Warp Records Reject DRM, Go Bleep · · Score: 2, Informative

    Mute, another UK based electronica record label, is doing this. It wasn't there whole selection, just "net-realeases."

    I actually tried to submit it as a story a few months ago, but whatever.

  4. You know... on Microsoft Rolls Out New Anti-Linux Ad Campaign · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm risking valuable karma :P here but sitting here, staring at the thousands of comments with Win users argueing against Linux users, and the Linux users writing pages and pages about why Linux is better, and the windows users doing the same... I realize somthing...

    Slashdot users are a bunch of idiots.

  5. Re:NASA request: not just JPEGs! on First Stereograms of Mars from Spirit · · Score: 1

    Still, we have the seperate left+right images. Ghosting mostly happens when the color information is distorted. But like I said, I do think there is a RGB mode that saves each of the channels seperately.

  6. Knoppix is great on Knoppix Tips and Tricks · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I would like to say that I am trying Knoppix for the first time right now. I'm definately handing a copy to my non-linux friends.

  7. Re:anaglyph on First Stereograms of Mars from Spirit · · Score: 1

    You can squeze PNGs pretty tight if you know what you're doing.

    Plus if he can handle this, PNGs shouldn't be a problem.

  8. Re:I'll ask on First Stereograms of Mars from Spirit · · Score: 1

    Check your local dollar store.

  9. anaglyph on First Stereograms of Mars from Spirit · · Score: 2, Informative

    I do have 3-D glasses. I don't understand why hes using JPEGs. They just introduce ghosting. Especially with the darker ones.

    PNGs are good for this sort of thing.

    I believe JPEG also has a RGB mode which will eliminate ghosting.

  10. all your MySQL are belong to us (nt) on Cheap Linux Tablets, And (Maybe) An Apple Tablet · · Score: 1

    all your MySQL are belong to us

  11. Re:This is just me on Caching Torrent files in DNS · · Score: 1

    bittorrent is not your regular p2p. read up on how it works and report back later.

  12. Re:Argh! Yet another CSS! on Phoenix Sounds Death Knell for BIOS · · Score: 1

    I propose we make a tool called DeCSS...no wait...

  13. Re:Easy to use and free (beer) already exists on How to Set Up a Gift Website? · · Score: 1

    I've heard of RTFA, but this?

  14. Re:Sorry if its a Redundancy, but.... on Gates Comdex Keynote Shows Plans, Matrix Spoof · · Score: 1

    Microsoft does see linux as a competitor. We figured this out with the Halloween Documents. http://www.opensource.org/halloween/

  15. Re:10 bucks says on Gates Comdex Keynote Shows Plans, Matrix Spoof · · Score: 1

    I can almost bet you, that if this spoof was professionally done (which it looks like it was), that Linux was used.

  16. Linux Kernel Error on Gates Comdex Keynote Shows Plans, Matrix Spoof · · Score: 3, Funny

    Oh, yeah. I hate those LINUX Kernel Errors that pop up all the time... Who wrote that into Gnome anyway?

  17. Re:Can I run Logic on it ? on Linux-Based Musical Keyboard Workstation Debuts · · Score: 1

    then....

    one word....Rosegarden

  18. Re:Can I run Logic on it ? on Linux-Based Musical Keyboard Workstation Debuts · · Score: 1

    one word...Ardour

  19. Re:Um... on Should Hackers Get Their Own Logo? · · Score: 1

    Me too.

  20. Finally.... on Who Needs Radio? · · Score: 1

    (I didn't RTFA)

    I'm glad someone recognizes that maybe the reason the RIAA fears MP3's is that MP3s eliminate the need for a record label.

  21. Re:I say... on A Novell Linux Specialist? · · Score: 1

    It's not performance thats the problem. Its been a while since I used redhat, but from what I can remember, redhat loved to force OSS on you instead of ALSA. Gentoo is a dream come true, everything is compiled for your CPU (if you tell it to,) and emerge alsa-drivers gets you, well... alsa drivers.

  22. This is really just like SCMS for HDTV on Broadcast Flag All But Approved · · Score: 1

    This is just like the copy protection on DAT tapes. (SCMS stands serial copyright management system, and was one of the reasons DAT never became popular.) Anyway, M-Audio sells SCMS removers/rewriters without fear. (Its for studio use.) Under the Digital Home Recording Act, you are not allowed to sell anything that defeats SCMS unless it's for professional use. I suspect that this protection for HDTV will be defeated easially, or HDTV will continue to not be popular.

  23. Re:I say... on A Novell Linux Specialist? · · Score: 1

    Me and my friend got a Delta 1010LT soundcard (same chip as 44) to run under linux, and now we have a nice studio with ardour.

    If you're having trouble, I bet you're on a distro which does not support ALSA very well.

  24. Oh no!!! on Company Files Motion to Stop IE Distribution · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't know which side to be with, the evil Eolas, or the equally evil Microsoft... HELP!! :)

  25. Re:Geeks like Dell? on Geek Eye for the Average Guy · · Score: 1

    Personally, I say make your own box... Big computer vendors usually make adding, taking stuff out (physically) really hard, and they put Windows on your system, and its hard to get a refund on Windows, etc.
