  1. Re:Where's the video? on Exploding Toads · · Score: 3, Informative

    Not exactly video, but some pictures here:

    By the way, the toads has started exploding at the Danish city of Låsby too, as reported by Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet (in Danish, sorry)

  2. Re:C&D time? on BitTorrent Accounts for 35% of Traffic · · Score: 1

    The lawyers seems to be having a hard time with the swedish tracker-site The Pirate Bay.

    They are routinely ridiculed on this page...

  3. Cannot be destroyed? on LotR: RotK Extended Edition Preview Available · · Score: 3, Funny
    From the linked site http://www.rotk-see.de.vu/ :
    If www.rotk-see.de.vu one day suddenly does not work, try http://home.datacomm.ch/betaversion/index.html . If this site is can not be visited, try alternatively the following URL (this is an other server and can not be destroyed): http://www.hdr-see.de/ - Webmaster Indrid Cold E-Mail

    Cannot be destroyed? Never underestimate the Slashdot Effect...
  4. Re:Interesting note from the SMPng status report.. on FreeBSD Status Report March-April 2004 · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's probably like the guy from Fight Club, he's working on Linux during the day, and unconsciously committing FreeBSD patches during the night.

  5. Commercially available DVD Player for Linux on MIT Student Grills Valenti on Fair Use · · Score: 1, Redundant

    In the article, the lack of a commercially available DVD Player for Linux is discussed.
    Don't know if the interviewer or this Slashdot article is wrong, but in the latter it is mentioned that the new TurboLinux 10 F ships with ...legal commercial DVD playback (via Cyberlink's PowerDVD player)...

  6. Total Commander! on First Ten Programs on New Install? · · Score: 1
    My Windows list:
    • 1. Total Commander - Indispensible but non-free file manager with a ton of features
    • 2. Mozilla - Great email client and browser
    • 3. UltraEdit32 - Great but non-free editor
    • 4. Irfanview - Great image viewer
    • 5. Winamp - Nice audio player
    • 6. Dreamkeys - Great but discontinued keyboard-mapping program for controlling Winamp

  7. Works well with the Quake 2 demo too on Quake II In Full Motion Stereogram 3D Engine · · Score: 4, Informative

    Grab the Quake 2 demo from GamersHell, install it and replace ref_soft.dll with the AbSIRD one.

  8. Why not just buy it ready to go? on Modding a Thinkpad Keyboard for External Use? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Link is to the danish model.

  11. Double negation? on Games X Copy Stirs Backup Controversy · · Score: 4, Funny

    "It goes against everything the industry has been fighting against."
    You would think this would be considered a good thing by the industry...

    Tricky double negations :-)

  12. Denmark on Broadband Pricing Across The World? · · Score: 1

    The most commom provider here in Denmark, TDC, charges about 100 US$ / month (599 DKR) for 2Mbit/256Kbit ADSL.

    The most common line here AFAIK is the less expensive 512Kbit/128Kbit which can be had for about 60US$ / month (359 DKR)

  13. Re:Use RunAs on Windows XP, Games, and Administrator Privileges? · · Score: 1

    To prevent typing the password every time they want to play a quick script like this:
    https://lists.aas.duke.edu/pipermail/ntgrou p/2003- May/001354.html
    will do.
    The interesting task is obscuring the password enough to prevent the kids from picking it up - securing it 100% is probably not possible with this solution.
    Bury it in the registry, place it in a mySQL database or some obfuscated hidden system file etc..

  14. Re:$99? on iPod Users Get Official Battery Replacement · · Score: 1

    Seems the battery alone can be had for 49, which isn't a whole lot less than 100$:
    http://www.mdsbatteries.co.uk/shop/productp rofile. asp?ProductGroupID=1249

    The Danionics batteries are quite expensive but supposedly lighter than comparable models.

    Danionics isn't exactly doing well:

    http://www.danionics.com/sw982.asp

    and has recieved a lot of bad press in danish media as analysts has predicted that they will go out of business soon.

    Maybe Apple will switch to a cheaper model battery if Danionics is unable to deliver?

  15. Replay export might be added in a future version on Truck Dismount One-Ups Stair Dismount · · Score: 1

    I emailed the author about adding the ability to export replays, and he answered:

    I didn't have time to include that functionality, but I hope I have time to add it to a future version.

    Something I am definitely looking forward to!

  16. Re:31103 on Truck Dismount One-Ups Stair Dismount · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, the replays are saved along with the score when you get a highscore. You can view them from the highscore list.

    Haven't found a way to export the replays from the highscore list though...

  17. FreeVCS on Alternative to SourceSafe in a Commercial Environment? · · Score: 3, Informative

    At work we switched to Freevcs after experiencing one too many VSS database-corruptions.

    FreeVCS is a free (as in beer) client/server VCS, using a relational database such as Firebird or Microsoft SQL Server. It is a stand-alone product, and as such offers no integration to Visual Studio (although some integration to Borland Delphi exists)

    The original author has stopped development and released the source to the open-source project JediCVS.
    JediVCS have yet to produce a release, so for now stick with FreeVCS.
