    Well you can always use the "turbo" feature, there's a bug^H^H^H feature in it that might delete your profile. ;-)

    You Americans are funny, only you would actually drink beer that has been used to cool your 1.8GHz laptop. Its bound to be _warm_, yuck :P

  3. Re:Just forget about tv, its not worth it on Comcast in Court, AT&T Gets Greedy · · Score: 3, Funny
    By doing that we are simply funding the companies that are destroying all our freedom.

    Easy answer: We need to get Bush to say the following thing "By watching TV you're funding Terrorism!" ;-)
  4. Re:Okay, so what OS? on Is the Universe its own Largest Computer? · · Score: 2

    Well duh - we all know what the big bang was all about, just ask the guys in Redmond ;-)

  7. Let me get this... on E3 Wrapup · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The music, movie (was on /. a while ago) and now the game industry is doing profit records and yet they claim that piracy is going to driving them out of business?

    Excuse me? Could someone explain?

    (not inteded as a troll/flamebait, mod me down if you wish)

  8. Re:Biting the hand that pirates it on XP Service Pack Does the Impossible · · Score: 5, Informative


    Quite useless really, there has been keygens on the net for quite some time now.

    They are fighting a battle they cannot win, for each key they disable 10 more will pop up on the net.

    (mod me down if you wish, this not intended as a troll/flamebait.)

  9. What about Windows 2000? on XP Service Pack Does the Impossible · · Score: 2


    What about Windows 2000 Service Pack 3? Will it allow me to choose to uninstall the software that was mentioned?

    If the answer is no, then why is it not possible?
    Clearly it _CAN_ be done.

  10. IBM articles... on IBM Nanotechnology Transistor Faster than Silicon · · Score: 5, Informative

    can be found here and the full press release here

  11. I wonder... on China Plans Moonbase · · Score: 2

    if this will bring more money to NASA?

    How could the USA stand by and let the chinese be the first to build a base on the moon? I'm sure the military would be interested if nothing else.

  12. Re:Anandtech has a full preview on it too on Matrox Parhelia 512 Preview · · Score: 2

    You know, all this speculation is driving me nuts! It's useless to speculate whatever the Parhelia will kick nVidia ass or not untill we've seen some actual benchmarks.

    In theory you/they are correct, but what about the Parhelia in practical tests? That's what I'm waiting for.

    Think about it before you mod me down as a troll/flamebait/offtopic

  17. Re:Direct link... on Atari 2600 Lord of the Rings Discovered · · Score: 2, Informative

    doh! darn cut&paste, it should have read

    Note that in order to get it working: "Because this is a new release, you will have to do a little extra work in order to get the ROM to work in either emulator, although the emulators will probably be updated shortly to support them natively. In z26, you will need to pass the -g3 parameter (8K Parker Brothers mode). In order to play Lord of the Rings with Stella, you'll first need to download the latest Stella Profile from Voch's Stella Profile Page. Then you'll want to append the contents of this file to the end of the Stella.pro file you downloaded. This will allow Stella to properly recognize this prototype.

    Jean-Luc Picard lives! Wonder what brand he uses?

  21. What makes banner different from paper ads? on Advertisers Escalate Banner Ad War · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm not trying to flame anyone.

    When we read our daily paper (which we pay for) we get ads too, right? What makes sites that much different? We don't pay for the contest on sites, in stead we see ads, is that so bad? Sure, I hate pop-up ads as much as you do and I thing those should be shot on sight.

    But really, does a small banner like the one on slashdot bother that much? I'm okay with the ads on Zdnet and C|net too (the ones in the center of the article). Just ignore it, no one is forcing you to click on it. Just as no one is forcing you to go and buy whatever is advertized in your local paper.

    Keep it as it is now, don't force people to click on ads or to close a window that pops up each time you surf a site and people will have no problem with the ads.

    Just my 0.02 euros :)
