  1. The original Z80 was 1Mhz... on Timex Sinclair ZX81 Back On the Market · · Score: 1

    The Z80A (as used in the ZX Spectrum) was 2Mhz, and the Z80B was 4Mhz. I remember articles about trying to get a ZX Spectrum to accept a Z80B... the first overclocking ever?

  2. Ah, when ah were a lad... on Yup, Somebody Cracked Slashdot · · Score: 1

    We divvent 'ave none of this 'ere "karma" malarkey. All Slashdot readers used ter get beaten senseless three times a day joost to make sure we weren't up to anything.

  3. Makes good business sense for Microsoft... on Will The X-Box Be A TiVO Rival? · · Score: 1

    A digital VCR chip costs what? $20 maybe? Whereas they can demand a monthly subscription of $10-20 for using their digital listings etc.

    Makes sense to me...

  4. Sounds good. on Mozilla To Be Dual Licensed - MPL/GPL · · Score: 1

    Mind you, it'd be a great deal better if some sort of licence could be come up with that solved all the various licence fights (think KDE/Debian etc.) and let people spend more time fighting and less arguing. Idealistic, I know, but...

  5. Interesting... on Towards The Anti-Mac Interface · · Score: 4

    Could we have Anti-Windows next? Take the basic principles of Windows design (slow, clunky, bloated, crash-prone etc) and reverse them and see what happens?
    Sounds good to me :-)

  6. How long is a piece of string? on New Tech In Data Retrieval · · Score: 1

    Unless you've got a magnetoresistive microscope to test your "erased" tape or disk with , you can't really say. Of course, if the data is sufficiently encrypted in the first place, it really doesn't matter if it can be retrieved from tape scraps etc.

  7. Re:cool it with the RPG nerd shit.. on 'Dungeons and Dragons' Returns! · · Score: 1

    Well, Sasha the webcam girl from ClubFiesta lists RPGs as some of her hobbies. Not quite a Playboy centrefold, but pretty close!

  8. Strange. on UNIX.com On eBay? · · Score: 1

    I got to this poll through the "Past Polls" page.It wasn't on the front page (the last one is still there.)
    Strange or what?
