  1. Re:[O/T] How often do you get 3 different acronyms on SBC Fights RIAA Over DMCA Subpoenas · · Score: 0

    On Slashot?

    Quite often.

  2. Re:I vote in Slashdot polls... on Hardly Anyone Cares About Computer Voting Problems · · Score: 1

    Yes.

    If you have to ask...

  3. Re:I expect they used many Bible versions on Romancing The Rosetta Stone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually, I think that this may be an interesting way to translate the Bible (assuming you didn't use the Bible itself as a reference...that would skew the translation).

    Think about it: every translation of the Bible is always criticized for some reason. If the Bible were translated this way it could be like the Google news of Bible translations: completely independent of human bias and editing.

  4. Re:Try reconsidering. on Ending Organ Donor Shortages? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Someone should create an "I wanna be an organ donor only if you're 100% sure I'm dead and there's no way I'm comming back" plan to avoid this. It seems like even if you were an organ donor that if your heart stopped they would wait. (As opposed to if you had been shot in the head or whatnot)

  5. Re:Hopefully this fulfills the Exchange Need on Kroupware Komplete · · Score: 1

    For those people out there using Outlook 2003 beta, make sure to get the technical refresh (link only works in IE). It really really helps stability. I use it with Exchange 2003 (not beta), and I love it. The best part is the caching, which makes things a lot faster, especially over slow connections.

  6. Re:skewed statistics. on Gates Provides Windows Crash Statistic · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Maybe it's possible that they didn't count those? The error report is more than just a ping, it actually contains information on what crashed and sometimes even sends a memory dump.

  7. Re:Home media center? on Third Party Selling Upgraded G4 Cubes · · Score: 1

    Too bad there's no good software for that on the mac. Not to mention hardware. Try getting an HDTV tuner for a mac!

    Most people take a girl to prom because she's stimulating in ways other than converstaion...

  9. Won't make a difference on Still No Federal Spam Law · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Think about it, we have laws against the following things, and they still go on:
    Murder
    Rape
    Speeding
    What makes them think that this will even make a dent in the spam load? Speeding and murder are easy to prosecute! Spamming, OTOH, is really hard!

  10. Re:Buzzwords on Opengroupware · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure what's in the blackberry, but WAP browsing and Mobile Active Sync (for Pocket PCs) is out of the box in Exchange 2003. Also, Outlook Web Access is basically unbeatable. Finally, couple Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2003, and you can do cached folders, which means any Exchange server is *fast*.

    My new most favorite feature:
    With a Pocket PC Phone version 2003 and Exchange 2003 (both of which I have), you can have it send you a specially formatted text message when you get new items (read: mail), and that'll tell the Pocket PC to sync with the server.

  12. Re:An honest question - who cares? on AAC Put To The Test · · Score: 1

    CDs = expensive. mp3s = free!
    Disk space = cheap. Bandwith = expensive.

    There you have it.

  13. BS on Implementing WiFi in the Real World · · Score: 2, Informative

    "Most important, it's the only home consumer base that flaunts its support for the Wireless Distribution System, which knits multiple access points together to act as a single network. An AirPort base plugged into the DSL or cable modem can bridge to up to four additional AirPorts, nearly doubling the network's wireless reach in four directions at once. Even better, the method lets you put an AirPort right in the room with you, rather than trying to beam the connection through a wall. This approach vastly reduces the amount of squirming in your seat required before your laptop will pick up enough signal from the other room."

    Total BS. If this guy was a real expert, he'd know you could also buy the Intel 2011 access point (and I'm sure there's others out there with the same feature set). It can also act as a repeater (scroll down on that link a little). I know because I have two in my house, and one repeats the signal to the back half of the house. They work phenomenally.

    The Intel may be more expensive (~$500), but I can guarantee it covers more area. The antennas are about 8 inches each (diversity!), and I can actually get my whole house on one of them (why'd I get two? optimal coverage for multiple people...plus it's cool!).

  14. Re:Not much in the way of an interface. on Ask Bram Cohen about BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    I thought it defaulted back to the server where you got the torrent from when that happens, because aren't they the orignal source for the full file anyways?

  15. Re:Retards on Looking at Longhorn · · Score: 1

    Actually I believe you are talking about Yukon, which is still in development, which is not including in Longhorn.

    Bingo. Just because you have a computer doesn't mean you have to work. Just because you have a cell phone doesn't mean you have to turn it on or answer it.

  19. Re:Play, recapture audio, on RIAA Unveils Net Tracking Tag for Online Sales · · Score: 1

    All other things (read: audio components, compression rate) being equal, the copy should have no loss at all, assuming it's the same algorithm. mp3 works the same every time, so the same song would sound the same.

    Either that or someone prove me wrong, because this is what I always understood about audio compression.

    Yeah, that's annoying...if everyone just let the machine pick up, POTS would be useless! It'd be just the same to send postcards to people. Get caller ID and that filters out %90 of telemarketers (though it's like $3/month, so a DNC list for $3 a year is a better deal).
